Seating area was pretty cramp with tables close to one another - not a place to chat the entire night away. We had the Spicy Prawn Hibachi ($19) which had thin udon in a rich crustacean broth with notes of umami-sweetness. Loved the broth, as well as the generous sprinkles of sakura-ebi and pork mince; they gave every spoonful a nice bite. However, the three 'prawns' they gave were definitely not Seared Tiger Prawns as stated in the menu - from the texture and taste they were more akin to the supermarket frozen shrimps. Disappointing!

Next was the Taru-Taru Chicken Nanban ($14) which had Sweet & Spicy Battered Chicken drizzled with Cream Tartar atop a mound of chewy Sanuki udon. I opted for the cold version, so this came with chilled Katsuo shoyu together with handfuls of bonito flakes, spring + raw onions, seaweed, tempura flakes, and fried shallots. Mixing everything together gives you a noodle base with a smorgasbord of flavours and textures. Thumbs up. But strangely enough, after some bites i started to think this tasted more and more like takoyaki. Moving on to the chicken, i wished it could have been fried crispier as it arrived with the exterior already soggy.
