Authentic and very fresh ingredients. A different type of Japanese noodle dish in that it's more sauce heavy rather than soup based. I had the sea urchin udon which came with some udon and plenty of delicious salmon roe. I added some green onion to "make it healthy." All in all the dish was quite expensive at $16 but I was full by the end. I thought the pasta was some of the freshest I've had in China Town and super thick, which I enjoy way more than the thin noodle variety. I wish there was actually less sauce though as the dish had an Italian pasta taste when drowned in the sauce which made it less about the noodle itself. I liked my choice though in the end and would be back to try some delicious cold noodles. And they have cup sake which is always a plus.
