5714 SE Powell Blvd
The restaurant is easily overlooked when driving down Powell, but has a
nice atmosphere, and there were an encouraging number of people speaking
Japanese when I was there.
Noodles: Chewy and well-formed, but a little thinner than usual, so they were slightly translucent.
Chicken: Much better than usual. White meat that didn't taste
like it had been cooking forever. I'm not sure if it usually comes with
chicken, because I didn't look at the menu before ordering.
Broth: Dark, rich, and slightly sweet. It reminded me a little of the broth that you get from Soup a l'onion.
Extras: Green onions and sliced white onions (which probably is why it tasted like French onion soup).
Sides: Cucumber sushi.
Price: $9.75. I ordered "udon with chicken" over the phone. The udon on the menu appears to cost the same.
Conclusion: The noodles weren't quite how I like them, but it was fresh
and clearly of high quality ingredients. It was also a little more
expensive than usual--about the same price as Mio Sushi--but unlike Mio
it came with cucumber sushi on the side. There were two types of udon
on the menu, one of which looked like it had more things in it, so next
time I think I'll try that. Recommended.
