Studio City, Los Angeles ยท restaurant
Family-owned since 1996 and widely credited with introducing the poke bowl to Los Angeles. The menu spans handmade udon, ramen, sashimi bowls, and a sake flight. All in a tiny strip mall tucked off Ventura Blvd that regulars treat like their personal canteen. Unpretentious, well-priced, and the kind of place where the staff already knows what you want by your second visit. Recommended: Tempura Udon, Seafood Salad, Cold Ikura Udon
Raw tuna, salmon, snapper, squid, yellowtail, and cocktail shrimp over lettuce and seaweed
Handmade thick udon served cold with salmon roe, grated daikon, and dashi on the side
