When you are in the mood for a piping hot bowl of something savory and brothy, this is the place to go. Their soba and udon bowls are very nourishing and the soup isn't too salty. It's a great casual eats place and the menu has an "Italian" side if you have friends who are in a non-Asian food mood. Also, they bring a bread basket that has anything from warm rolls to banana bread. The price is reasonable for the amount of food. You know it must be good if you see three generations of a Japanese family at one table.
