| - I absolutely LOVE udon - it's my favourite type of noodle, so I was super excited to come here and experience the deliciousness! And it was indeed, delicioso!
Management: We arrived around midnight and was seated promptly since it wasn't too busy on a Thursday night. We got menus and water right away and there were coat hooks - which is much appreciated since the chairs weren't big enough to hang our coats on without it touching the floor. For some reason though, they dimmed the lights after we ordered - not sure if that's for ambience but I think I was the only one who noticed lol.
Cleanliness: very rustic feel with the interior design and I love that! Table was clean and the place looked well-kept.
Service: the server was polite and took our orders on an iPad so there shouldn't be room for error. In addition, the apps came within 5 mins of ordering and the mains came shortly after - not sure if it's because it wasn't too busy but I was still very impressed with their speed!
I enjoyed the following:
1. Corn Kaki-Age ($5):
This was fried dough balls with corn in it and a honey butter mayonnaise - this was very popular in the Yelp reviews so I got it and it DEFINITELY isn't good for you, but I needed that in my life - was crunchy and tart and opened up my appetite for my udon! Try it!
2. Salmon Cream Sauce Udon ($13):
I love salmon and cream sauce so this was a no-brainer! First off, it comes with green onions and sesame seeds usually but I dislike both, which is why it might look like it lacks colour. I believe the salmon was done with a sous-vide which is a tool used to control the temperature of cooking, so the salmon was firm on the outside but tender on the inside - it was amazing! I prefer my salmon a bit undercooked so if that's not your thing, this might not be for you, but you MUST try it! The cream sauce has tomato oil in it, which is a new combination for me, but it gave the sauce a unique aroma that made me devour the udon without leaving a trace!
3. Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich Green Tea with Raspberry Macaron ($5 for one):
I've had this in LA once when I visited little Tokyo there and it was fantastic so I decided to try this special menu item. Unfortunately, this wasn't as good as the one I had in LA. The macaron itself was dry and dry and dry :( the green tea ice cream was basic so nothing impressive. You can try this for yourself just for the Yelp, but I will not get this again.
All in all, this udon place gets a good rep for their udon for good reason - it's just so slippery and firm enough that your chopsticks don't break them when you enjoy. If it wasn't so far away from me, I would be a regular!
