    I absolutely love how I can get such yummy udon in the burbs, it's so flavorful and the spicy is actually spicy. I will be coming back

    shrimp tempura

    As a major udon lover, There were some definite highlights, but also room for improvement. The Udon Noodles: The noodles were a bit overcooked and broke apart too easily, lacking that firm, chewy texture you expect from good udon. The Soup Base: excellent! The mushroom flavor was rich and strong. Personally, I really liked it, though it is potent enough that it might depend on your individual taste. Fried Tofu: Given the price point of the udon, I expected a better quality version of fried tofu. Shrimp Tempura: This was just okay--nothing spectacular. Tempura Sauce: I really liked it because it tasted distinctively homemade rather than store-bought.

    Love that there's a place near me where i can get delicious udon and not have to drive down to seaport or porter square to get me some yume. And what's even better is that the menu here has more broth variety as well. Today, i tried the niku udon, paiten shoyu udon, paitan miso udon and the dandan udon. Honestly, all were so delicious. Can't wait to come back for more.

    I was looking for an udon place closer to home when I don't want to drive into Cambridge for Yume but I haven't found it yet. I ordered the: -Niku Udon: the meat was so so dry and tasted off. The broth had no depth to it, tasted exactly like the premade broths from the udon kits at Hmart. I expected some richness from the broth. The only upside to this dish was the noodles. -Tori Paitan Spicy Miso Udon: the broth had more flavor and depth than the niku udon. Again, in this dish the meat was also dry. A little too heavy handed on the chili oil which coated your mouth as you ate it. Service: You order by yourself using a QR code. Not a fan of the added transaction fee, I'd rather order the regular way. The store was so quiet and the waitresses were standing around, why not just make the experience more personal?

    We got the Tori Paitan Spicy Miso Udon with chicken and the Cold Niku Bukkake Udon. Both were very good, but for us the hot and spicy miso was the favorite. They served the ten-katsu crunch on the side for the miso which was a nice touch. The same dish is available in a non spicy version. The table QR code system was easy, and our friendly server also offered to take our order if we preferred. We were fine with the system as is and found it to be straight forward. The decor style is very classic Japanese - dark wood look. Comfortable and not too formal but nice. We parked on street not too far away - downtown with several options and very easy on a Sunday.

    Excellent. Firm, substantial homemade noodles. Soup is smooth and flavorful. Gyoza, sausages, and spicy cucumber were also great. Nice casual and comfortable space. The owner was warm and welcoming, and appreciated our business, which is always nice. Will be back again soon.

    Such a cute hidden udon spot! We got the hot niku udon soup and the broth was delicious. The meat was also amazing without being too chewy. We also ordered takoyaki and shrimp tempura. Everything was great and I have nothing bad to say about this location. The booth area was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely comeback!

    I ordered cold niku bukake, the beef is delicious, i wanna like the cold broth, but i cant. They did say its cold udon and i thought only the udon is cold the broth still hot i am wrong. Its my fault to want to venture out of regular soup. It the fat from the beef floating on my bowl. It was delicious but I don't think my cup of tea. My husband had tori miso udon, that one is delicious the broth is amazing and the udon soft but slippery which is understandable. We also ordered shrimp tempura. Delish! If you are hungry dont come here it took a while to come. But it worth the wait. Also another problem is the ordering app is not user-friendly. Just like their other restaurant akita ramen the ordering system need to be fix. The resturant is beautiful.

    Food it good cute place to eat but you don't have a waitress or water you order the food your self . Very fresh tasting but pricey

    Food came out fast and they were very attentive and asked my friends and I how was the service and everything. We told them they were great. Currently they are on their soft opening period and only serve 4 types of udon. Spicy niku cold udon, cold udon. Spicy hot udon and regular hot udon. Flavor was great and I'm glad it's close by. Use to always drive into Cambridge for udon so this being close is awesome. Owner came out and informed us that when they are fully opened their menu will have more udon items.

They have so many toppings you can choose from. Great variety! The service is quick and efficient. The ambiance makes you feel like you are in Japan. The moment you walk in there are high top seats at the window, and a lot of small tables. The walls are decorated with Japanese ads and artworks. They have 2 television screens: 1 with anime playing and 1 with a Japanese style pbs station (showing cooking, travel, etc...). They fill up quickly but it just goes to show you how many people love it! You can do take out orders or dine in. They have you scan a QR code on your table to send you to their menu, which ends up being where you order and pay for everything. You then will get your drinks. Then any appetizers you order. Then your food will be out quickly. Highly recommend!

    A really nice ramen place to visit on cold winter days!…read more We've been here a few times in the past year and we're always pleased with the quality and flavor. We've ordered tonkatsu ramen, spicy Tokyo ramen, takoyaki, gyoza, the matcha latte, sake, calpico, and likely some other things over the visits and it's also delicious. The restaurant has an authentic feel and is decorated with a lot of vintage Japanese memorabilia and posts and such, it lends a nice vibe to the food. Service is a bit laid back, all orders are done via an app or website and the servers simply bring the food to you. But they are attentive with water refills and bussing of tables so it's not lazy. I recommend Akita!

We were a group of 6 people and were seated right away. They have an extensive menu for food and drinks. Everything is Japanese with some Peruvian flavours. For drinks half of us tried the fruit juices, made fresh. The other half opted for beer. The fruit juice was more like a smoothie. It was incredible and I would have definitely ordered more if I weren't full. It came in a strawberry and a pineapple flavour. I got the strawberry-ginger and it was very refreshing. For appetizers we got vegetable tempura, a shrimp wrapped in plantain tempura, and a chicken avocado tart of some sort. The veg tempura were meh but the rest of the appetizers were phenomenal. Especially the shrimp wrapped in plantain! For mains, some of us got seafood soba noodles, sushi and a fish dish. The food was pretty unique. The soba noodles did not look like soba, I think they used regular ramen noodles instead. However the sauce and seafood flavours were such a hit! Great find in Lawrence! Overall great experience. The service could be nicer. Will definitely be back for an after work dinner.

The two of us started with a fried gyoza (always good), followed by yue yang spicy beef and fish filet in garlic sauce. The beef was wonderfully spicy, the fish fresh and tasty -- both new items on the Jade menu. Our inquiries to Sally about the sushi offerings landed us an unexpected treat: a sample of Carpaccio in garlic basil sauce, a superb offering of three delightful mouthfuls of japanese sublety laced with European flavor touches. Yum!
