| - This restaurant has an awesome vibe in the Yonge and Finch area. They are known for their udon, and also has a very nice sake bar. I came on a weekday evening around 630; the restaurant was still pretty empty at that point, so we were seated right away. By the time we left around 8, the restaurant was getting pretty busy and packed. There's metered street parking outside the restaurant on Yonge and Holmes (the restaurant is located in the corner of Yonge and Holmes).
To start, we ordered the corn kaki-age, as this was highly recommended by a friend. It was sooooo good. It was perfectly fried with just the right amount of batter, and not oily at all. But the best part of this dish is the honey butter mayonnaise that it is paired with. So yum! However, I personally found this dish a bit overpriced. It was $5 for 5 small corn fritters. So each piece is $1, and it really is just corn, batter, and mayo for the sauce.
For the udon, my husband and I tried the Original Kama Udon and the Mentaiko Cream Sauce Udon. The udon noodles for both were very good, perfect texture and chewiness. The Original Kama Udon was way too salty though, and I had to drink a lot of tea to subdue the saltiness. The Mentaiko Cream Sauce udon was amazing. The cream sauce was soooo good, I would definitely come back to this restaurant just for this udon!
