I see some low rating reviews comparing the udon here to “instant udon cooked at home by his wife.” Well unless this person’s wife is a professional Japanese chef, I am not quite sure he understood what Japanese food is.

Overall I am happy with the food. The udon is Al denté and got a good chew. The sushi rice is very nice and not too firm. The only thing I would say can use some improvement is the unagi. It’s quite thin and the sauce is not flavourful enough. But overall happy.

Really want to support local small restaurant, so figure I would try this since it is a block away from home. First impression the place is small and cozy. 2 men in the kitchen, one lady at the counter and another lady running around waiting the tables. Understandably it’s difficult for one person to serve 7 tables. So I didn’t say much even though it took over ten minutes for our orders be taken and water be served. Unfortunately the food was underwhelming. The maki rolls were acceptable, but the tempura batter was very thick and not crispy. Some sashimi was fishy. Others had too much connecting tissue. Overall not super happy with the food.

Food here is quite authentic. I am not sure if North Americans are truly ready for it tho. It’s spicy, it tastes just like it is in Thailand. The owner is super chatty and very proud of the place. Very interesting guy.
