I visited alone with really high expectations after hearing good things from people nearby.
The food was so good that I didn’t feel bad about the money at all.
However, the way the menu was handed to me felt a bit like it was thrown, and the water only came after I had almost finished my meal. Because of that slightly disappointing service, I felt a bit reluctant about leaving a tip.

The udon is perfectly cooked. The flavour was slightly lacking.

It’s like ok. Super expensive and the portions went down. Noodles had a good chew.
I had pretty high expectations so was not impressed by the hot udon we ordered (beef and duck). The duck especially was a let down, though the broth was good, the duck carried no flavor and was not tender. The noodles carried the dishes. We also got the pork gyoza which was good texturally, but not memorable flavor-wise.
The servers and staff were nice, slow at times, but would rather feel slow than feel rushed out. The ambience is nice and not loud.
We were a walk in around 5:30 on a Saturday and waited around 15 minutes.
I would potentially return to try the cold udon dishes, but wouldn’t come back for the hot udon.

By far the most delicious udon I’ve ever had. The broth was exceptional, a light yet complex flavor profile, and the homemade noodles are worth a trip to the city all on their own. The portion sizes are huge and the service is great, the only thing I will say is that the seating is pretty tight and even as a smaller person I was getting bumped into by the people behind me and it was hard for our server to wait on the table beside us without bumping into us too.

I came here after reading the recommendation of Xiaohongshu. Maybe it's because my expectations are a little high. The taste is not as amazing as I thought😅, but the service is really considerate. The young ladies are very friendly, and they support online reservations, which is very convenient. I like this very much~

Pricer than I'd like but best udon around. I always ask for more noodles and a boiled egg!

Got mad at my friend and I for only ordering 1 dish for two people. The waiter told us very loudly so people were looking at us. Rude service. Noodles were bland.

Best udon ever hands down, and the outside seatings are a huge plus for those who want to enjoy the scenery too

Texture of the udon was really chewy and good. Recommend reservations because they get busy. At the same time I felt like we were being rushed
