We got the spicy beef udon ($21) and upgraded to the Large size for an extra $2.5. The server did not specify that upgrading to the large means adding a small side of udon noodles ONLY. The pot remains the same as the small size with NO extra soup. We asked for extra soup for the extra udon and they said that would be extra $3.... thanks for clarifying that NOT in the beginning. Now we are just eating very dry udon with barely any soup. Their reason for the large size is the same size as the small size because they don't have a bigger pot. If you don't have a bigger pot, PLEASE KINDLY SPECIFY upgrading to the large entails adding udon ONLY!!
This entire experience was poor and we would not come back again. Taste wise is mediocre for the price they charge for all the items on the menu.
I don't usually leave bad reviews but this place was quite something else. Way to run a business in today's market!

I had the grilled mackerel and vegetable sushi roll. The green tea was steeped perfectly. The fish was perfect and very tasty. The only think I would change is that the veggie roll was mainly just cucumber, there was very little of anything else. The prices were very affordable and reasonable tho, I will definitely be going back!

We ordered the shabu shabu udon and Sashimi. Both were great. Their Udon and Soba are homemade. The store is like a typical Japanese restaurant that is kind of small and not a lot of space between each table. The service is just okay, probably because they were busy so they didn’t come asking if we need more water or so. Be prepared to wait around 10-20mins for table if you didn’t book a table via Yelp ahead of time.

Food is authentic and excellent, couldn’t ask for more. Yelp wait list makes it a little easy for the overall dining experience.

This is one of my favorite places for udon! The broth and noodles were both perfect. We got here a little after 6:00 pm on a Saturday night and waited 30 minutes to be seated off their wait list. Service was timely and helpful, and there's plenty of parking in the lot. Will definitely be back.

Food was good but the wait was extremely long when we came on a Friday night. I’d recommend coming on a weekday.

We tried a little bit of everything—beef curry udon, pork shabu shabu, spicy beef udon, katsu curry udon, and to top it all off, the caramel flan. Let me tell you, the fresh udon noodles were next-level, and the broth flavors were on point! The flan? So moist and perfectly sweet.
If you love udon or just want some comforting Japanese flavors, this spot is a must-try! 🍜🔥

As a half Japanese person, its hard to find authentic Japanese places in OC. This is one of the few I've found and the taste is just right! The shabu shabu udon was delicious, the meat was very tender and the broth has that familiar Japanese taste from the dashi and I still think about it to this day :)
The place is a bit small and the wait line can reach up to 90min during peak hours. So I recommend going for an early dinner! The staff is super nice and quick, even when they are busy! Keep up the good work!!

Solid food, decent selection, and good prices. Parking is extremely hard to find during peak hours, it took me 20+ min to find parking in the plaza. Go early when it’s non peak hours.
Amazing food , amazing service , and amazing ambiance!

1. Food and service have gone down and the location has changed its menu. 2. It also almost feels as if the employees hate the change and seem miserable. 3. Avoid the sushi it’s got a fishy taste and the texture is off.
OVERPRICED!! WOULD NOT COME BACK AGAIN...
