Udon noodle restaurant, Asian restaurant ★4.0 (367)·$10–20

4.0
Not as good or authentic as what I actually got in Japan but a lot better then many other restaurants. The Kitsune Udon was very nice. The best part was the noodles but I also enjoyed the tofu. They also have a buffet of items that have been stuck in tempura batter but I hate seeing things left out. Fresh tempura is always better. As a tea geek I also appreciate their nod to Japanese society with free tea. Not the best tea but still free. - Tiffany Rupp
