Went there for dinner on a Friday night with some work friends. Just an important information, they require that your entire party be present before they will seat you. Once seated, though, they’re fairly quick to bring out our orders. I had the panko shrimp roll and the pork belly kakuni don. I liked the dishes well enough. I had also ordered a raspberry yuku saketini, which was also okay. I had also tried the chicken kraage; this one was delicious. They had excellent customer service, and service staff check on you at least once. The restaurant is also very clean. I think they are a pretty popular place because they turn the tables over pretty quickly and were seating groups steadily. Overall, pretty good experience. I may come back and try other dishes!

Had a great experience here while visiting Stanford mall! The staff were great and the menu had lots of great options. We really enjoyed the sushi offered and the udon was spectacular as well. Highly recommend getting one of their combo deals as it comes with a variety of great foods.

We ordered pork belly kakuni don , takoyaki , sashimi salad hamachi kama , duck and short rib udon . Sashimi salad was not fresh, we smelled and not even touch the sashimi. Service is good.

Udon noodle texture is not like normal Japanese udon, too hard

The food is pretty good, but the service is awful, especially for takeout. They say you’ll get a text when your food is ready for pickup, but without fail, they overestimate how long it will take for pickup, which is fine, and then not send the text until the originally estimated time, which is not fine, because at that point the food is cold.

Food was mediocre. We got seared tuna spicy salmon rolls. It was a little bit smoky but lacked flavors otherwise. My friend got uni ikura udon and she didn’t finish it. She said it was okay. I ordered seasonal truffle udon, which was creamy as told by our server, but still, it was very underwhelming overall. I didn’t finish it either.

This is a gem. Great udon, great chicken (crispy and not oily), great sushi, great tempura, great salad. This place is all around good. The food is good and the servers are fast and attentive. We ordered a variety of food here and it was all around excellent. We were shocked at how good it was, especially because the place had great prices and great value. I highly recommend eating here.

Pretty good but we were starving. It was a lot of food. Good option to stop by if you’re hungry and shopping and you need to shop some more. We got chicken karaage, salmon tips, Niku udon to share.

The meat quality was really high. I was impressed by the short rib and the sliced beef. Udon was fresh and the texture was good too. However the broth is so boring. Based on the price, I was expecting way better broth.

We had the truffle mushroom cream udon and the uni cream udon. Both tasted good, the flat style udon they used was nice. I also really liked the chicken karaage, takoyaki, and bacon wrapped mochi. The karaage was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. For dessert we wanted to try the creme brulee but both flavors were out of stock. We tried the mochi donut holes instead with the 3 different dips. They were alright but nothing crazy, I think I prefer just regular mochi donuts. My favorite sauce is the caramel one. Also recommend the yuzu lemonade drink, it was very refreshing.
