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.

I came here on a busy Saturday afternoon based on a friend's recommendation from like a year ago and I'm glad I did. If you're coming in a group of 3 or more you should definitely put your name on the yelp wait list ahead of time. However, if you're dining solo and there is a counter spot they can take you right in. Sometimes dining alone has some benefits. Atmosphere is definitely got the vibes of a small family-run Japanese restaurant with just enough seats and some wood countertop seats. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered their kaarage chicken and beef Curry udon. Their kaarage was crispy, juicy and large chunks...if I wasn't doing yoga after this I would have had a beer. The curry udon was very flavorful and filled with tons of beef, green, white onions and some nice chewy udon noodles. If I'm back in this area later in the summer I'll try their cold udon dipping noodles. Good portions for the food, prices were okay, but not the cheapest. I'll be back for more if I'm in the area.

We came here to try their cold soba noodle, the sauce is ice cold and savory which we like a lot. Their noodle is house made and is chewy. The chicken carriage is surprisingly good, very juicy and crispy, also came in with a lot of pieces. Tempura was okay, it doesn’t come with any sauce but you can ask the server to grab you tempura sauce.

This place typically has a long wait. You'll need to go there to be on the wait-list via Yelp. When it's your turn to be seated and try the food, you'll immediately know why people are drawn to this place.

Noodles are made from scratch here. The udon and the soba noodles are amazing! The broths are tasty. The entrees are all very delicious. The shabu shabu udon is very popular and amazing. My favorite is the Katsu Curry with udon. So good!
