This is my family's favorite place for Japanese style pasta. But for a period of time, their standards slipped a bit. For a while, their food had been hit or miss, service slacked. We stopped going until last week.
They have a brand new lunch menu, which is quite exciting. There's a whole page of new items on top of the familiar pastas they've got. We tried some of the new items. 2 of them were outstanding! The Unagi Tamago Dashi Rice was absolutely delicious! The egg with the dashi sauce on top of the rice goes nicely with the unagi. The Yaki Udon is the best I've had so far. I never liked yaki udon. Most of the time the noodles are tasteless. Not the ones here. It has a nice sauce, in which the udon full absorbed the taste, and the dish was serve covered with bonito flakes, seaweed and green onion. Not to mention lots of pork slices fried with the noodles.
We had a large group, so we also ordered other dishes. The pastas were as good as before and the Banana Crepes was what I remembered.
Service is good. Maybe still not back to their old standard. But improved from their low time.
We can see that they made a great effort to come back, and they did a good job.
Will keep an eye to see if they can keep it up.
