We saw this shop during our last visit to iSquare and decided to come back and try it. The store setup is very cute, somewhat cafeteria-like: pick your udon style, then self-serve tempura table (at additional price) and condiments. The udon looked very promising as it goes through a intricate boiling-cooling-reheat system at the counter. But somehow by the time we started eating, everything was barely room temperature. We even saw them heating up the bowl so the lukewarmness threw us off a bit
The udon looked very promising as it goes through a intricate boiling-cooling-reheat system at the counter. But somehow by the time we started eating, everything was barely room temperature. We even saw them heating up the bowl so the lukewarmness threw us off a bit. We think it's the soup that they added, it was pretty salty and perhaps only room temp.Tempura were barely warm too The self-serve system allowed them to cool off too much since they just sit in plates waiting to be picked up, heated platters might have saved the day... cold tempura is nasty since it's deep fried
I wanted a somewhat light lunch so I ordered the egg udon with a few veggie tempura. My husband had more meat items with his curry udon. Each tab came out to about 60-70HKD, which is a smart pricing model because you would walk in thinking each udon is only 30-40, then you get through the tempura counter where everything is 6-12, so it adds up quickly.
Overall another great concept without attention to execution. Just keep the soup on a stove and the tempura on some heated surface, the meal would have been perfect. Hoping things will improve.
