MeNaMi was my first time experiencing upscale udon. Up until now, my experience with udon was always met, mainly because I was so used to having it at home all the time that it wasn't special. I also really loved Manpuku downtown and wondered, what makes MeNaMi so special? Well, I found out. MeNaMi is udon, but embellished and dangerously delicious (quite satisfying and filling) with unique flavour combinations such as tex mex cheese (think Mac and cheese but on udon... Yes.). Came here with three other girl friends and we ordered 3 udon bowls to share which was a good choice because the portions were big and sufficient for sharing. The tapa was fantastic for sharing (we got the smoked salmon tartare). I also got a drink which was well mixed, I have a friend who swears their drinks are the best! From my one time experience, it was good :)
In terms of the service, ambience, overall experience... Loved it. They were friendly, accommodating and patient. The playlist was BOMB (I approve of whoever manages the music here). The inside of the restaurant is just as appealing as the exterior with an upscale bar style interior. The dim lighting definitely sets a nice mood for a girls night out or a date night.
