| - At the first hint that I was feeling better I decided to get some soup to help, but instead of Pho or Matzo Ball, I decided to go Japanese and ventured over to a relatively new place, Cafe Sanuki located at Decatur and Spring Mountain in the space that was formerly "The End" bar.
WoW! What a TREASURE!
You know it's good when there's Japanese people eating there, yet it's VERY "American Friendly" which is something that most Asian restaurants aren't.
What I mean is that you'll feel very comfortable ordering food here even if you have no clue about Japanese food. When you walk in there's a huge glass display featuring replicas of their most popular products. There are also well crafted booklets available which show and explain each item. There's also video monitors that show the various offerings as well.
You won't have to 'guess' what each item is. It's very well shown and explained.
Their specialty is Udon, which is a soup featuring thick noodles. There are many varieties, mixed with different items such as veggies, eggs, and meat. Rice bowls are also a tempting offering, and there are sides including, but not limited to various tempura and seaweed wraps ('sushi'... sort of).
It's served cafeteria style, meaning you line up with a tray and order. After paying you bring your food to a table.
They also have an outstanding selection of soft drinks including an unusual one called Calipo. If you're adventurous but don't like the idea of ordering a drink that you don't know if you'll like, this is a great place to try it out because the drinks are bottomless and self serve. Free drink with Yelp check in, too!
Fantastic, authentic Japanese food at a low, low price! (Kake Udon, 2 Tempuras, and a beverage for under $10)
