The food was great and delicious, and definitely of value. I love how inviting and clean the waiting area is. It didn’t take too long to a table to be available around Sunday 5 pm. The wait was around 10 minutes.
The table is also always comfortable. The seat is a bit firm, but not flat. The table isn’t so small that you can’t order for two and appetizers and not have room to rest your arms.
I love the small details in how my server place the dinnerware. It was centered on the table, and the cup logo faces the other person.
I really enjoyed the food. I ordered thesalmon ikura seiro set. The sesame sauce for steamed vegetable has a bit of alcohol taste, but it wasnt too thick and has a broth or some kind of savory flavor in it. It pairs really well with the vegetables. Most of the vegetables were steamed only, except for the eggplant and wakame. The wakame has some oil, while the eggplant seemed to the grilled or seared for a bit before steaming. I was also please to see how thin the slices of eggs were in the salmon ikura rice. That was impressive to cook such a thin layer of egg, and then slicing it so fine. The other dishes in the set were equally great but my knowledge of Japanese food is very shallow, and I can only say they were delicious.
The crispy onigiri bites were amazing too. The pork went really well with the mentako.
As a big eater, I’m surprised to get so much food, and for this price. This reminds me of the Mountain View’s Maru Ichi’s combo, but with far more dishes. Unfortunately, it is closed now.

SO MUCH FOOD holy moly. the table got a takoyaki to share and I got the unagi seiro set and strawberry soda. the food was delicious. the unagi was so so good, I loved it. the small portion of udon was simple but nice. I could’ve gone without some of the steamed veggies/tempura but I still appreciated the variety. the soda was tasty but the rainbow flashing light and souvenir pouch really clashed with the entire restaurant vibe, it felt like it belonged in an amusement park. it was bizarre but pretty funny. the servers forgot the drinks we ordered after water but we got them eventually.
I’d love to come here again but now that I know the portion sizes, I might get something smaller.

FOOD
curry udon was pretty good—definitely got some flavor fatigue toward the end so i recommend ordering some type of drink. gyudon was lowkey kind of dry, not enough sauce and meat to rice ratio was off.
SERVICE
served us super fast (only a 7 minute wait). customer service is average.
ATMOSPHERE
cozy warm vibe. not particularly hot or cold inside. bathrooms are very nice, has bidets but theres only two stalls. theres a huge CRAZY curb on one of the driveway entrances. plenty of parking.

TLDR: good food; cozy jazzy interior perfect for rainy days; fast service food within 6-7 minutes after ordering; a little pricy expect to spend at least $20 for a good bowl but imo well worth the money
Curry Udon: 8.5 (must go if in area and obv in mood) Very rich creamy and delicious. Regular serving is not anything super massive but well worth its price and enough to fill most people up.

Delicious, authentic and warm dishes. We dropped in around 820pm on a Saturday night and the staff were very friendly as well to accommodate our orders.

There was no wait time when I went around lunchtime on the weekend. The restaurant has sufficient space so there should be no need to worry about long wait times. Our server was attentive and the food came out quick.
There’s many good udon options to choose from, you can’t go wrong with any option. Although the food is great, it can start feeling a heavy towards the end of the meal. Overall, it’s a great udon restaurant and you should definitely try.

Update your Google hours.
Came around 3pm on a weekday. Google shows they are open, but doors were locked when I came and had to return the day after.
The Nabeyaki udon was just okay. The soup base wasn’t very rich. The servers were busy chatting amongst themselves.
Overall, just mediocre but please don’t say you are open all day when it’s obviously closed during the afternoon!!

Food: the broth is REALLY GOOD. I’ve definitely tried better udon noodles somewhere else but here is pretty good still! Recommend their tonkotsu udon for sure; the spiciness added the flavor and makes it different from other places.
Service: it was close to their end of business hour but they still took us in. The staff were very attentive and welcoming!
Ambiance: calm and enjoyable! No matter your group size, this is a go-to place to have a nice comfort food with udon.

One good thing first: udon noodle was spot on with right chewiness.
My wife ordered salmon seiro, and salmon and rice was way too dry. Also it came out super early right after our order, which means it was well over precooked and just got reheated – explains the super dryness of the food.
I had mentai cream sauce udon, not too bad but neither impressive. Lastly, ordered hoji tea, and it was too weak to feel the beautiful scent & taste of hoji.
The restaurant isn’t bad, but feel to me it’s overrated seeing its 4.4 rating.

Bold broth flavor of pork and bonito in the Tonkotsu Udon. On the salty side. Like the thick springy noodles which also had the nice amount of chewy consistency.
The chashu pork in it were soft and had a slight sweet flavor. Also fave a whole seasoned egg and a shrimp tempura in it. The egg had a sweet jelly yolk.
If you prefer a sweeter Udon dish the Beef Sukiyaki Udon would be the a good choice.
The Assorted Tempura had 3 shrimp, and 4 different veg and a squid tempura. Sauce was light with traditional soy sweet flavor.
Price was reasonable for the quality of ingredients.
Food came out quickly. Staff were attentive.
