Handmade Traditional Sanuki Udon in Little Tokyo! We strive to serve the best and authentic Japanese udon with quality. We have our original fusion style Udon like Miso Carbonara, Sea Urchin Cream Udon and more! We serve variety of sakes, draft Asahi beer importedfrom Japan and other drinks with creative appetizers! Came here with my friend on a weekend during lunchtime and although there were quite a few parties before us, their turnover rate was quick and we got seated fairly quickly. Service was also very attentive throughout! I ordered the cold beef udon, and it exceeded my expectations. The udon was perfectly cooked: chewy and springy. There was a good amount of beef in my dish, and the broth had a perfectly balanced sweet flavor. I had come here once ages ago and cant believe Ive only recently rediscovered this gem! It is in the heart of Little Tokyo so parking can be difficult. Usually, the easiest bet is parking in one of the lots on the streets nearby and paying the $5/6 or so for convenience. I cant wait to come back and try more of their menu options! MUST TRY!! Came here for the first time thinking that it was Marugame Udon but unfortunately it was not what we were expecting. Upon walking in, it was not cafeteria-line style so we were confused haha. Despite it not being what we were anticipating, we decided to stay anyways because this place is so highly rated on Yelp, there were a bunch of people waiting (that means it must be good right?), and Marugame Udon was 14 miles away LOL! For our table of 4, we waited about 30 minutes on a Saturday for lunch. In the meanwhile, we walked over to Little Tokyos little shops to stay in the air conditioning. If not, you can just stand outside in the heat to wait until they call your name; luckily they offer ice water. If you do leave, be sure youre back a little before you expect them to call your name because their policy is if they call your name 3 times and youre not there, theyll skip you and call the next perso
