    A little slow, a little sloppy, a little overpriced for a textbook udon noodle.

    What happened to their gyu-katsu 😢 Texture is too tough and chewy - tastes a little frozen

    Staff and service was quick and courteous but I wasn't really impressed with the food or its presentation. Perhaps I just didn't order the right thing.

    Service is a bit crap. People after us ordered first. Ordered 2 soups only got 1 and had to wait while they made the other. I think Ichiryu at TCR makes better udon

    6/10: tempura was overly fried, noodles were too thick for udon.
