Wow! This place is great. Dropped by after a show at Segerstrom tonight, and it was exactly what my sick friend needed after 2 hours of ballet.
There was zero wait at 9:45PM.
I love that their hot green tea kept flowing on a chilly night. We got the burdock root, the mushroom salad, the fried smelt, egg and mentai hot udon, and nabeyaki udon. The mushroom salad was more mushroom than salad (not complaining) and was dressed in a shoyu-based dressing that reminded me a bit of Raku’s mushroom salad. My friend loves burdock root and fried smelt…so those were winners for her…I thought the smelts were a tad too greasy for me and they served it with the Kewpie mayo which made it even more rich. The udon was super good…hot steamy bowls…I loved the mushrooms in the nabeyaki. Thanks, @beefnoguy, for bringing this one up.
