We
finally
found
a
Specialty
Udon
restaurant
in
Brisbane.
TLDR;
salty,
slightly
overcooked,
can
try.
Not
sure
if
I'll
be
back.
Ordering
style:
Pretty
similar
to
the
ones
in
Japan
and
Singapore.
The
tempura
items
were
not
too
specialty
tho.
The
usual
items
like
various
veggie
tempura
such
as,
sweet
potato,
lady's
fingers,
onions,
assorted
fish
cake,
were
missing.
Menu:
Quite
an
extensive
menu,
Udon,
Soba,
rice
and
curry
options
are
available.
They
should
try
to
streamline
and
focus
on
good
quality
udon.
I
think
the
quality
of
food
will
be
much
better.
Price:
Reasonably
priced.
Value
for
money
portion
size.
Udon:
Texture
was
overcooked
for
me.
Good
udon
should
have
a
bite,
it
should
not
be
soggy
and
flaccid.
Might
be
a
one
off
thing.
Broth:
Too
thick
and
salty.
It
was
a
notch
below
drinking
shoyu
directly
from
the
bottle.
If
you've
been
to
a
few
udon
restaurants
and
kiosks
in
Japan,
you'll
know
what
I
mean.
Broth
should
be
golden,
clear
and
rich.
Not
salty
rich
but
flavour
rich.
You
can
taste
the
layers
of
ingredients
that
made
the
tasty
Broth.
This,
I
feel
is
the
most
important
part
of
a
good
bowl
of
udon.
Meat:
It
was
a
Tuesday
so
we
got
an
automatic
upgrade
from
Medium
to
Large.
Not
sure
how
long
this
promo
will
last.
But
the
portions
were
definitely
value
for
money.
Tempura:
Batter
is
heavier
than
usual,
you
can
tell
that
it's
time
for
an
oil
change
when
it's
too
greasy.
Takana
was
abit
disappointing.
Not
as
tasty
as
the
other
Japanese
places
in
Brisbane.
Mochi
was
a
decent
surprise.
Very
chewy
skin
and
delicious
cream
filling.
Will
be
back
to
give
it
another
go.
Hope
the
food
will
be
better
this
time
round.
To
be
fair,
I'm
comparing
it
to
the
Japan
and
Singapore
standards.
But
I'm
sure
they
can
do
alot
better.
Had
a
healthy
flow
of
customers.
This
place
is
surprisingly
popular.
