User Reviews

Really enjoyed this place for the quiet and peaceful vibe as well as the food. I didn't want to get something to big or expensive so I ordered the Curry Nanban Udon and it was very good. Did not break the bank and was absolutely worth it. I will be going again and very much so enjoyed the atmosphere. Also a great place to grab food then walk around in the mini mall area and grab boba at one of the boba places.

I wanted something light, so ordered the zaru soba. Soba was good with nice presentation, but I feel like there should have been more dipping sauce for it. The service was ok. Some food took a while to cook, so while I was done with my soba, some of my friends were still waiting for their food. The booth had a nice atmosphere. Would be great for a small friends gathering. Parking lot gets very crowded, so arrive early or be prepared to walk.

My buddy and I were in the mood for some Asian food. He particularly was in the mood for some noodles and we're glad we came here. The atmosphere was relaxing and there wasn't a long wait. The food was extremely good and supersedes my expectations (see photos below). All and all the experience was great and will certainly come back again.

Solid udon spot with great Japanese dishes. Enjoyed the appetizers as well such as the agedashi tofu and takoyaki. We had the salmon and udon set as well as the katsudon and udon set. All of it was great and prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The service was very friendly and came out at great times throughout the service. Place had a good spacing for seating. We ate around 2pm so we had basically the place to ourselves. Definitely worth making it out here.

The tanaki udon is absolutely delicious; the broth is simple yet super flavorful. The spam musubi is addictive; the spam is juicy and crispy and compliments the sushi rice really well. I'd also recommend the potato croquette. Cozy atmosphere with a bit of a wait and friendly service.

This place has great food and big portions. It's a small place so it gets packed. I ordered the sukiyaki don and my brother got the beef cury set comes with udon soup. Most of their item has udon that comes with. Service is good but when I was there it's just one person working, but she handles it like a pro.

Amazing Udon place, definitely has the feel of a small local udon shop. The curry udon was delicious and super filling. The food takes time, but is worth the weight as every bite was delicious and I will gladly go back to try the other udon/soba dishes.

Once you enter you will be transported to another world. Inside it doesn't feel like any other restaurant, truly a unique experience. The food is good however you may need to like Asian foods otherwise if you're not used to sushi or ramen you may not enjoy it as much. Also it is somewhat salty. They have a pleasant music system.
