I had the cold soba, and it was quite good. If you’re looking for Japanese-style udon in the area, I would recommend this place. However, it’s not somewhere you can eat comfortably at a relaxed pace. I understand that there are many people waiting, but clearing our bowls while we were still preparing to pay didn’t feel appropriate. I would recommend this restaurant only if you want to come in, eat, and leave quickly—it’s not a place for a leisurely meal.

One of my fav restaurants in the OC and I've been eating here since 2017. I aim to try something new everytime I visit, but this last visit was disappointing. I ordered the Sansai udon and the kakuni side. The Sansai is supposed to be a mountain vegetable udon in a light broth, but the veggies were minced like it came from a dry instant ramen mix. The udon noodles themselves were still amazing though. The kakuni just made me sad. It obviously wasn't a good pork belly cut and the portions get smaller every time visit.

AMAZING amazing udon. I got the Shabu shabu. The noodles and the broth are the best I’ve had in LA or San Diego

To start we ordered the fried chicken and assorted tempura. The fried chicken was our absolute favorite, the crunchiness, juiciness and flavor was great. We then ordered the Nabeyaki udon and the SP Katsu. Both were great, but the udon itself was so good. The broth and the noodles were memorable. I’m excited to come back and try more dishes!
This restaurant seems really popular and gets packed so definitely add yourself to the Yelp waitlist if you can.

Love this place. First time here. Super authentic legit Soba / Udon place. All hand crafted. Chicken Tempura Curry Udon / Shabu Shabu Spicy Udon / Classic Tempura Udon. All fantastic. Does justice to our 10yrs in Japan. Wish we lived closer to here. But will mos def. Shout out to Scarlett, my number one fan for reading this ;-)

The Udon was average but the curry was fire, very tasteful. I ordered delivery so I was a little upset that they didn’t give me any utensils.
