But then somehow there were empty uncleaned tables and the waitresses took forever with any given tasks - forgetting our bill completely so I had to ask again. Although the staff seemed Japanese, their level of service was very mediocre compared to the service you'd get in Japan.\n\n4 stars because the food itself was high quality. It's definitely a blend of new flavours on classics (udon, soba). For example the tsuke soba (where you dip soba into broth/sauce) was so interesting - it had both Chili sauce and soy milk - which I never would've imagined blending together. Taste was pretty good. Matcha was strong and pancakes were fluffy.\n\nA side note that the interior design is also fantastic, much better than their downtown location. Very much a Japanese style that's authentic and totally something you might find in Tokyo.\n\nCome if you like exploring new flavours. Skip if you are in a rush to eat and can't wait for slow service."^^ . "4"^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
