When this place first opened, we were stoked that there was finally a sushi place nearby. We dined here twice and both times were disappointing, even friends who had tried it weren't fans. Because of that, I haven't been back.
Recently my sister had her wisdom teeth pulled and had a hankering for soup. Not wanting canned soup, she suggested picking up some udon from Taiyo.
We arrived around dinner time and I was surprised at how busy it was considering it was a week night. We grabbed a take-out menu and scanned it over. Some of the prices were crossed out and marked up in pen - a bit unprofessional in my opinion. If you're going to up the prices, at least opt to re-print your menus. My sister ordered the chicken udon and tako yaki, paid up and waited. I guess we should have asked how long it was going to be because we sat there for 25 mins before her order was brought out.
For about $16, she actually got a lot of food. I didn't try the tako yaki (not a fan of octopus) but there was more than enough udon to fill us both. The broth was flavored nicely, there were fresh veggies and teriyaki chicken and the noodles were a good consistency (not gummy or way too soft)
Would I be back? Maybe for more udon, but I think my heart will always be set on Kinjo for sushi.
