Came here on a Sunday night around 7 pm, wait for 15 mins and I was in.It’s a cute little shop that serves good udon. I tried the Takoyaki and it was fine, not great. Little too doughy for me.For the udon we tried the miso carbonara and the hot dragon. I would say that they were both good. Carbonara is very creamy and milky while the hot dragon packed some good flavors. The hot dragon felt like it was more food than the carbonara.Took about 15 mins to get our food so a bit slow but I think they handcraft the noodles so many that’s why it took a while? About $50 for two udons and an app.

The curry udon was savory and came with the perfect amount of toppings. The Shrimp and scallops tempura could’ve been a little more crispy in my opinion. The braised pork udon broth was perfectly seasoned, the pork could have been cut smaller to make it easier to eat. We also thought it could have been braised a little longer as the fat wasn’t tender enough to eat. We were seated and served quickly, it wasn’t a bad experience and i would definitely come again.

I decided to try this place out since a friend recommended it while I was in Little Tokyo. I honestly didn’t have any expectations for an udon place because I’ve had udon at the Marugame Udon chain and expected something similar. Let me tell you that this place elevates their udon to the next level. The mentai udon was easily one of my favorite meals during my trip to LA. The sauce was creamy, savory, and sweet with the perfect balance. The umami from the mentai and shrimp complements the sauce so well. It wasn’t too rich and was just right. I slurped up all of the sauce it was that good. Highly recommend and would come back. Service was also very attentive and kind.

Not your standard Udon dishes. There are some unique items on the menu. Make sure to explore and ask questions. I enjoyed the uni udon, which tasted like carbonara. The chilled noodle dish would hit the spot on a hot summer day.

Visited Sunday night, there was queue and we waited about 15 minutes for available seats. We tried uni cream udon and carbonara udon. Both were nice!
Everything tasted of old oil. Should have steered clear of the fried foods. Tempura was fine but too oily. Agadashi tofu has that same flavor of old oil, and was too fried tasting. Udon noodles were no better than frozen, and even the plain udon broth was filled with fried bits. Not somewhere I’d return willingly.

The mentai seafood pasta was perfectly creamy, and the noodles were cooked just right. We had 3 pcs takoyaki ( 1 of the takoyaki dont have octopus piece, the filling ), crispy chicken skin was perfect, crunchy and tasty but too much sauce (sour). It would be better if they put the sauce on the side. Everything was great. The only downside is the waiter ( the middle-aged woman with dyed blonde hair and using glasses), we dont even finish our food and dont ask for the bill yet, out of nowhere she put it in our table (at the bar). That was rude. Its not even 20 mins before our food arrived. Please improve the service, other wise you will drive your customer away.

This place is AMAZING!!! It is literally the best udon I've had in Los Angeles!! I poped in after a day at The Brood museum which it is really close to. Street Parking can be a little bit tricky but you can just pay and go into one of the lots close by. I personally love the sour plum udon its super sour and delicious but if that's not your thing they literally have a ton of different options. You can get a double portion on any of their udon for a small up charge (I think only $2 more) and it is totally worth it! Their tuna is a delicious appetizer as well. One big thing to be aware of, there is often a wait list you have to sign up on to get in. Be sure you give yourself ample time.
Really good. Staff was nice.
