The udon served here is not the best quality udon. The flour is low quality and the udon smells stale and has a mushy floury center. It seems to be cooked in a rolling boil which overcooks the outside and undercooks the middle of the udon. The most important thing about the soup served with any noodles is that it should be freshly made. Instead the soup here has the rancid greasy aftertaste of a soup that has been standing for a few days. The portions here are average with a pinch of chopped green onions on top. All served in a disposable bowl. Overall it was a not a good meal. The greasy soup left a vile taste in my mouth and had me feeling nauseated for a few hours after eating. I do not recommend the Niku Udon at all. The bento box we ordered looked tired and unappealing with a wilting salad with some unappetising looking California rolls. Again looks like nothing was freshly made here too. It tasted consistently as bad as the Udon. Truth be told I would have preferred to...
Read moreI didn’t have high expectations because it’s just cheap fast food, but I was really disappointed with my meal. I got the curry udon. The udon noodles were far too soft and sloppy, not even anywhere close to the authentic chewy and firm texture that udon noodles are supposed to have. I could have over looked that if the flavour and other elements delivered more, but that wasn’t the case. There was hardly any meat and the curry sauce was runny, watery, and it didn’t have that distinct authentic Japanese curry flavour like CoCo Ichibanya. Instead it tasted watery and peppery. I know this is just cheap fast food, but it was so bad that I threw half away and went to get a piece of pizza instead. I’m considering giving this place another try, because maybe the other dishes are better? But there are lots of other places to choose from at UBC so I’ll probably just take a hard...
Read moreOne of the best Japanese food restaurant in the campus.But here are four things you should not do there: 1.You should not come in Saturday.They open at 11am and the food quality is not so good as in workdays; 2.You should not come when they’re about to close.The soup provided along with bento boxes always ran out at the end of the day but you could still ask for the beef soup; 3.You should not order the tariyaki, since the bento boxes has already contained a large amount of rice and they also have four California sushi rolls, while you just need to pay only 1 dollar more to upgrade the tariyaki into bento boxes with each kinds; 4.You should not order Bubly as your drinking since it tasted so bad that it doesn’t even worth 1 dollar. My personal favorite food: 1.Chicken bento box 2.Curry beef 3.Beef bento box 4.Niki Tama(Only the soup is different than...
