This review was waaay overdue. This is one of my favorite lunch spot. I love their simple lunch menu. You get to picked your udon, picked your rice bowl and sides. Lunch combo comes with lotus root and seaweed salad.
My lunch today:
Combo number 1: Kake udon with chikuwa and kitsune for sides + tempura rice bowl (no rice for me). Their udon was hand made from scratch. You could watched the live show "udon in the making" here. The udon noodle was cooked perfectly, not too soggy and the broth was tasty. Yummm. Their tempura comes with 1 shrimp and 4 vegetables was also good, crispy and not too oily. Of course I also had Calpico for drinks (extra $1 only if you get their lunch combo).
I tried their dinner a while back and it was packed (I think they had a special event at that time). I had to wait for 20 mins but I didn't mind. I tried their sukiyaki udon and loved it. Their takoyaki was also my kid's favorite.
Service was always good. The server was always polite and made sure my drinks filled up.
Price wise, they have great lunch prices and pretty reasonable dinner prices. They also offer many great Japanese tapas dish which I am going to try next!
