it's quite busy around lunch time. usually you will have to wait around 10 mins. so it's not really recommended if you are in a rush. i have been here since the day it was open. the menu has changed quite a lot. back then this place is focusing on only udon. but now it serves variety of jap food like japanese curry, sashimi and all that. for me i think it's kinda losing its character but i understand that they want to please their customers and they have to pay for rent afterall.they have tables
they have tables outside the store but around it there is a construction site. so hygiene is one thing that could be scaring off ppl. also i have noticed the environmental department will send their staff around end of the month to give tickets to stores that violate the rule (for what rule i am not sure, i guess they are charging the store for taking public's place by putting tables outside?) so when it's end of month you will have to line up for very long time. the store inside i think they have around 10 seats only.
let's get back the the food. the lunch menu consists of one main course and one side dish. i have so far tried:
gyoza udon. i think most ppl would like to have the gyoza served on another plate instead of soaking in the soup. but i personally prefer they are soaked. haha... coz it makes them look like less "hot air" (as chinese saying). the udon they used to serve was chewy. and some corns, seaweeds and alfafa as decoration. but recently i think they have changed another brand of udon to save cost? the udon now tasted not as good as before. and no more alfafa now. that's sad.
sashimi rice. you will be amazed by the size it's served. ppl who love sashimi will love this. many of my girl friends can't finish it. i don't really like this dish coz it's way too much, and i don't like some of the sashimi such as octopus... and the rice is so plain without any trace of vinegar. it's not my cup of tea. (i don't eat much sashime anyway)
tempura curry rice. the curry they have used is the japanese style sweet curry. it is so matched with the japanese rice. the shrimp is average, is what you can imagine. if you don't like shrimp you could switch it to deep fried pork chop. ok side dish, you can choose takoyaki, cucumba salad with crab eyes, salmon rice roll, or miso soup or coke. somehow everyone orders salmon sashimi or rice roll. i guess it's because it seems like the smartest choice out of all.
one thing is that the seaweed wrapping isn't so fresh so it gets very chewy. but they have not cheated the customer by placing a little salmon in front filling with all rice, like some other bad jap food place. so i have glad.this area food is quite expensive and i think this place is reasonable for its service and food and portion and such. highly recommend
