Don't come here. It's edible. But you know you have a problem if your sprinkles of corn are more flavorful than the curry udon. It's curry powder, which tints yellow but adds nothing to the flavor. They literally have a curry sauce, but that's for other meals. Also, I don't know what they're trying to be, but it's definitely one of those *new, clean* places that whitewash Asian/Asian American/Asian-ish dishes. They didn't even do it well... Some places are passable if that's their aesthetic, and their food is bomb. But this place... it's so white... the walls are white, it feels like im eating in a mental asylum for the white woman next door who you know practices overconsumption like spirituality. Also, it's a weird thing that their wooden-looking chairs are metal the tables
dont match in that sense. There's no service other than when they bring out the meals, greet you, take the dishes back, etc. Everything is done through a QR code, AKA not accessible. There's an accessible entrance, however, so that's ok I guess. So you can go here if you want. But why would you?

Food is good like the old store.
The new store service is 1 star at most.
Certain waiters are rude/impatient.
Out of respect for the old store before they moved, I’ll be fair and give it a 2 star. I hope the server/service can be changed/improved.

The food was really bad, raw uncooked, tasted badly; the service is even worse, ignoring you from the beginning to the end except the moment they ask you for tips, I am talking about the white man

Overall pretty solid. Food is really tasty and creative presentation. One complaint was the lump of butter they put on top. Definitely too fatty. Not sure if it’s on every dish but might be able to request without it. This new location could use some blinds…sun was setting and in everyone’s face in the evening.
