Not sure why this place gets bad ratings about anything other than service, and our service was fine for the most part. Food was great, while the prices are high, the portions are good and the ingredients are excellent. Just be smart and don't order the bento box at an udon place... Uni ikura risotto - delicious also came with some mentaiko. Needed a tiny bit of shoyu. Duck tsuke udon - Really good broth, noodles were great consistency for it, duck was good, but broth could a been hotter Niku udon - Solid staple nothing special about their broth but still fine, the noodles were what made this stand out, thick as hell. Deep fried soft boiled egg - while I've had better, this is still really good and a hard to find optional add-on.
My rating is 3.5 The dining environment is great except a light on ceiling flashing all the time. They need to fix it. The Niku Udon is good. There two types of duck udons. The menu is not clear for their differences so it is easy to order the wrong one. The $16 duck tsuke udon comes with COLD noddle. This information is totally missing from the menu. Only the $17 duck and Japanese mushroom udon is not cold noddle. Hopefully this helps.
Walking by I found this cozy small Japanese restaurant in the Stanford shopping center. Just in time for happy hour, ordered spicy salmon roll and kaki udon, they were so affordable and tasty, decided to order one more item, California roll. The noodle was house made, it was perfectly cooked chewy and delicious, I was surprised to see that California roll was made with real crabmeat instead of imitation crabmeat. Very friendly staffs! Best of all dog friendly, they let me sit with my dog indoor while dining!
