Decent, but not perfect given the price point.
Fukuoka-style handmade noodles, rare-find and wonderfully chewy. Flavor highly concentrated in katsuo (dried bonito) and kombu (sea kelp) broth, with a trace of citrus to help cut through the savory.
Kakiage Udon, tempura comes served atop a metal rack hovering above the bowl — a novel means of preventing mushy texture, yet the fry was not extra crisp.
A great neighborhood Japanese spot along Divisadero; but if in search of the authentic, may be better served by a Japantown option.

This place is an underrated gem on divisadero.
1 – the udon is world class. I’ve eaten all over Japan and the West Coast and this is my favorite udon spot. The freshness and consistency of the noodles, the flavors, the variety of dishes – both cold and hot, and the execution are excellent. Try the pesto – absolutely incredible display of skill.
2 – the staff remembers us and always takes care of our family with great service.
3 – this is our go-to daddy-daughter date spot.
Highly recommend.

3.8 ⭐ The udon here look traditional, beautifully presented, and high quality for sure. But unfortunately the taste left something to be desired. It’s a shame cause I want to like this place, as I love Udon. I think one reason is the shape of the noodles. They’re skinny and flat which reminds me of dry instant udon noodles which are shaped like that. Not saying that these noodles aren’t freshly made, just saying I don’t like how they feel as far as preferences go.
Maybe I should come back and try other flavors. I still recommend anyone who likes Udon to come and try this place. The ingredients are high quality, and you may enjoy it.

Noodles had a great chew with tender pork and umami broth – what’s not to love? I’m usually not the biggest fan of eggplant but had no problem eating the eggplant soaked in the broth. Others at my table tried the cold udon and the tan tan udon and everyone thought it was pretty good!
Small dining area means that a line will form outside during busy times (for a Saturday night close to opening time we waited ~30 min) but once you order the food comes out pretty quickly. They are very transparent about trying to get people in as efficiently as possible too so maybe not the best place for a longer meal.

This a little gem. From the small inviting space to the flavored water to the little baskets to hold your stuff to the kind staff, I feel so welcomed in. And then I get the first taste of the udon, and I am comforted. The flavors are deep and inviting. So I keep coming back for more, and each time is as good as the last.

No line on Thursday evening at 5 pm. It was a bit hard to know what I was gonna get just from the menu but I loved the Yasaj Ten Bukkake. Took me a bit to adjust to the cold broth but The tempura was great.

Unfortunately, not the place for me. Seems to be a popular place with the long line. Server allows one party in at a time to order, and then seats before the next party is allowed to order. I should have checked photos online prior to knows that the kakiage udon (mixed root vegetables) only contains sliced onions & carrots – not worth $18 imo. The texture of the fried coating on the shrimp seemed different from the coating on the veggies.
Dashi flavor was not appealing to me. It has a light sour flavor, and also tasted kind of burnt- like the flavor version of acrid smell when you burn some food on a charcoal grill. It’s kind of a mouthwatering smell, but not the right taste.
Space is small so I recommend coming with only 1-4 people. The room echoes a lot, so once the seating is full, it’s almost impossible to hear conversation clearly. Seating is backless stools so there is no place to hang things, but they offer floor baskets for large bags.

We stopped by on the way back from Pacifica and we were in need of some warm soup! I love udon so I wanted to give this place a try, and it looked really cute.
We were able to get seated fairly quickly, and we ordered at the counter; water is self-serve. Our food didn’t take too long to arrive. Udon was a little too soft and the kakiage and shrimp could’ve been crispier, but the dashi warmed my freezing hands (SF moment). The sesame broth was rich without feeling coma-inducing. Also the cashier was super nice and she gave me a Kitkat!
Parking isn’t metered, which is nice!

I went to this restaurant expecting amazing food and my expectations were met! I got a plain udon with dashi broth and shrimp tempura that was perfectly crispy on the outside and had tasty shrimp on the inside. Others had specialty dishes that were more complex and looked very tasty. This was an amazing dinner and I would definitely recommend it!

I wanted to like this place more than I did. The noodles are a bit thin and flimsy and the broth isn’t flavorful. There are better places for udon in the city
