★★★★☆ 4.0 Taka H · Oct 2025

Japanese homestyle bento bliss with a legacy! Hard to believe this cozy gem has been serving locals for 25 years. At the heart of the menu is their Sanuki Udon...a silky, springy noodle born in Japan’s historic Sanuki Province (now Kagawa Prefecture) on Shikoku Island. This isn’t just comfort food—it’s a taste of centuries-old tradition. Bonus points: the menu is loaded with photos so you know exactly what deliciousness you’re ordering. Food: 4/5 Generous portions, wallet-friendly pricing. I went for the Sukiyakidon which was hearty, flavorful, and satisfying. Ambience: 4/5 Old-school interior that feels like stepping into a Japanese home kitchen. Parking: 4/5 Can be busy depending on the time thanks to all the great eateries in the plaza

★★★★☆ 4.0 Giann · Nov 2025

A good spot, but I got the sukiyakidon and they gave me like 5 pieces of meat with some tofu. Portion size could be a bit better, flavor was good. Also had beef curry and it’s alright for me. Good miso soup too

I had the mini Katsudon combo (bottom) and my boyfriend had the Nikuyasai Soba (top) and as our first time here we were very impressed! Everything had so much flavor, our waiter was very attentive and kind. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for an authentic experience. Would definitely come again

★★★★★ 5.0 Richard Navarro · Dec 2022

Solid udon spot with great Japanese dishes. Enjoyed the appetizers as well such as the agedashi tofu and takoyaki. We had the salmon and udon set as well as the katsudon and udon set. All of it was great and prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. The service was very friendly and came out at great times throughout the service. Place had a good spacing for seating. We ate around 2pm so we had basically the place to ourselves. Definitely worth making it out here.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chelsea Kumala · Jan 2026

SERVICE 10/10. There was plastic found in one of the udon, and they replaced the dish with a new dish AND ON TOP OF THAT the whole meal for our family was on the house. We came here multiple times before because of the quality and price of the food but this was crazy. Please come and support this business the food portion for the price the quality its amazing we left a huge tip in replacement because a free meal for a table of 6 is crazy.
