We arrived around 6pm on a Thursday and there were already a good number of tables filled. Luckily we seem to have beat the rush and were seated right away (when we left at 7:30 there were three parties waiting). The decor is stylish, but also confusing with a lot of random garage sale like items all over the place. There are antlers on the wall and old fashion scales. But really, you don't come here for the decor (the atmosphere however is jumping), you come here for the udon. We decided to start our meal with the grilled eggplant and fried calamari. The eggplant came with a mysterious sauce that tasted like a sweet fish flavoured soy sauce and lots of bonito flakes. It was wonderful and I would definitely order it again. The calamari was the real winner of the appetizer battle though. The squid rings was tender with a light crispy coating and dusted in powdered seaweed. There was something about the blend of all the flavours that seem simple, but kept me coming back for more. Then came the udon. My dining companion and I both got tsuke or cold udon. The dipping sauce comes with grated daikon, ginger and green onion on the side so you can customize, but the sauce is so good that you really don't need it. The tempura shrimp were good, but basically like any other shrimp you'd get anywhere else. The noodles were the real standout of the dish. They are homemade and you can really tell. They taste of the sweet flour that went into it and have a wonderful chew to them. As we sat, we saw plates of cheesy udon and other delicous plates go by and vowed to come back.
