This review is based on 2 visits to MeNami. Both on a weekday Tuesday, one during the hype when you need a reservation to get in anyday and one when you can drop by as a walk in on a weekday.
I like the simple menu of MeNami. An unique menu that differs from all the Izakaya/restaurant in the area.: Their star is the housemade udon.
I like the freshness of non frozen udon. Yes there is a difference. A subtle different. But if one is paying the same price for a bowl of packaged/frozen udon at other restaurants, why not go for the fresh one with no preservatives?
I tried the Original Kama Udon ($7.95) and Tsuke Udon with Shrimp Tempura ($10) both which I really enjoyed. I would say just skip the Tempura as the udon is really the star of the dish.
For Tapas, I tried the Corn Kaki-age, Roasted Hamachi Gama, Tako-Wasa all really solid dish.
For drinks I would suggest to stick with beer (they have Delirium on tap) or Sake. Their cocktails is sweet and weak.
Service though was exceptional during my most recent visit. Both waiters were nice and went out of their way to make sure I have a good time.
I would be back for some more fresh udon. I think this is the only restaurant that offers freshly made noodle in GTA.
