Its great that there is a new place opening up and best of all its a udon place which is unique to the area or even in Toronto. I ate earlier but wanted to try this place so my friends and I decided to stop by or drinks. To my surprise the owner from Han Ba Tang was working and she greeted me as she does at Han Ba Tang.
She told me about opening and that they have a udon machine in-house to make fresh noodles for the patrons. The interior is different from Han Ba Tang but nicely renovated compared to the Japanese restaurant that was previously there before. It is an open kitchen concept so you get to see how they make their dishes.
I was recommended to try to the smoked salmon with parsnip sauce. When you first take a bite, it is chilled and the taste is refreshing with the parsnip sauce. I didn't have a chance to try to large selection of udon variations but will return soon to try those dishes. I did, however, try the fresh sake from the tap which was nice given we didn't wanna break the bank that night. They also have a wide variety of premium sake by the bottle that I do not mind returning to help make a dent in their inventory.
More to come with a follow-up review about the other dishes when I return later this month.
