Quick service, which is exactly what we needed since we were starving when we came in for a late dinner. It was almost a bit too quick… The restaurant was clean and the staff was nice, but the food was just ok. The tori udon was nice and light, while the niku udon was more flavorful, but neither were great.
Mid Dec2024 Japanese resto in SSC that specializes in noodles. The menu is varied with usual staples. Their claim is the specialized broth preparation of their dishes which pair well with their alcoholic drinks. Food prep was standard.
Serving sizes are a bit small compared to other American restaurants.
Service staff were a bit unattentive but efficient when serving.

Great food, excellent location and cool interior.
The food is definitely prepared thoughtfully and with love. The udon noodles (their specialty) are great and come with different meat options. Both the chicken and the cauliflower karaage are delicious.
Finally, the mixed-mushroom truffle risotto is outstanding. Really delicious and savory and we just couldn't get enough. It's one of those dishes you dream about for a long time.
