Disappointing, sorry to say. The soup was served lukewarm. The Yaki Udon with chicken was below par; the chicken was dry and tough, the vegetables were small and hard to find, and the entire dish seemed steamed rather than pan-fried. The sauce was just ok. I've had much better Yaki Udon, including at the State St. location. The Hibachi Steak had pretty good flavor. But I've never seen a Hibachi meal like this. Everything -- the shrimp, meat, and vegetables -- all came swimming together in a large pool of sauce. And here I thought that presentation is such an important part of Japanese food. The folks at Takara must know better than this. I'd go back if I knew that Takara was going to take their food more seriously, and serve it with more pride.
