I've been here a while back in their take out section for a Maki party tray. I remembered the maki rolls being good then, but I've had better so I never really went back until recently.
My bf and I decided to stop by in the dine-in area. We were seated quickly and there were a few tables occupied for a Tuesday night which was a good sign.
I was craving udon & noticed that their yaki udon has chicken and shrimp in it... not a super fan of shrimp so I asked for a chicken yaki udon but still ended up getting shrimp too. Wasn't too upset because maybe I could've clarified better and tbh it looked delicious and the portion was huge! Sadly.. it looked better than it tasted. Well, I didn't even taste anything ... there was not enough flavour or seasoning it felt like I was eating udon with a light drizzle of water .. I was so sad because I'm a huge udon fan and given the ratings I expected a lot more.
My boyfriend got an udon hot pot dish (forgot what it's called)... the portion was so small compared to mine and it was the same price ($14). It wasn't that great either ... like the yaki udon the presentation was nice but the taste was lacking. It was like udon in asian herb broth .. I can't lmao
We also got two rolls... spicy salmon and I forgot the other one. They were good but smaller than most sushi places.
We tried their takoyaki which was good! $5 for 5 too so cant go wrong there. But the octopus they put in the centre is smaller than other restaurants.
Service was just average and typical. They'll seat you, take your order, drop off your food and take away your plates when you are done. Nothing above and beyond but nothing to complain about either.
Overall my experience was just ..meh... I'd only return for their maki trays but even then that's not going to be often.
