| - Cafe Sanuki is a Japanese cafeteria style restaurant that specializes in the art of traditional Udon noodles. Their equipment and ingredients are imported from Japan. Prior to opening the restaurant, they met with Udon Masters and even had Minimoto-san spend several months in Vegas training their Chefs to provide an authentic Japanese Udon experience.
I was so excited for Cafe Sanuki so I definitely purchased more food than I could handle. As an appetizer, I decided to get some Tempura items. They have a selection of 10 different types of tempura and you are able to pay per piece per type. I chose Asparagus ($1.25), Pumpkin ($1.25), Sweet Potato ($1.25), Fish Cake ($1.75) and Shrimp ($1.75). The batter was very crispy and I really enjoyed every piece. The tempura is pretty pricey compared to the rest of the menu and since it lays around, it could get a bit oily.
The highlight of my experience is definitely their Udon. With so many options, I struggled to narrow down my choices, but eventually I decided on the #7 Ontama Bukake Udon ($6.45). This is a warm udon noodle with a perfectly poached egg, onions and tempura flakes with the Udon broth on the side. With the broth on the side, your noodles will maintain its' ideal consistency and the tempura flakes won't get soggy if you wait too long to eat it. The noodles were evenly shaped with the perfect amount of elasticity. After I poured in the broth and broke the poached egg, they mixed together and coated the noodles. It was so delicious, I can't wait to come back for more. I would have been happier if there was more broth though.
With the order of Udon, the small rice bowls are a discount price. I couldn't pass up a good deal for variety so I decided on getting a small Curry Katsu Rice Bowl ($2.50). The curry was a bit lacking by compare but still decent. It was definitely good value.
Take advantage of the Yelp Check-In deal for a free beverage. They have plenty of drink options such as a fancy custom Coke machine, freshly brewed Harney & Sons Tea, special blended Cafe Sanuki Lemonade and even Calpico. Their Drink station even had flavor pumps for you to add to your preference. I just got the Calpico and it was very refreshing with my meal.
Since they are cafeteria style, please remember to take your trays and bowls and put them away. The workers actually went around to help clear finished plates and even when I took my tray to the trash area, they offered to help me put it away. Service was definitely friendly and efficient.
I highly recommend Cafe Sanuki. It was such an incredible meal for a good value. Well, good value if you stick to the udon and small rice bowl. Trust me, even the international Japanese travelers seemed to really enjoy this place.
