Let's start off by saying that this is a SOFT OPENING.
That said, the service is very friendly and once they get into a groove and hit their stride, things will be a little faster and more efficient.
The udon here is on point. Period. I had a nice soft boiled egg that was perfectly cooked. I'd come back anytime and have udon any day.
The tempura suffered from temperature issues but was beautifully cooked. I'm sure this will change as well as they get used to their service volume and turnover on tempura.
I also had a mini beef rice bowl (gyu-don) that was really good. Now that Las Vegas no longer has a Yoshinoya, this could be a great replacement.
The atmosphere is really cool and inviting. They made great use of the space and are able to accommodate quite a few people. The J-pop playing in the restaurant is a nice touch.
I'm definitely coming back.
If nothing else, I'm happy they decided to open a place like this. I'm gonna try the oden next time...just in time for winter!
