Sanuki No Sato

Saw the owners posts on Instagram. Surprisingly it was a local restaurant and decided to come after looking through all the amazing looking dishes that were posted. The Undon/Soba noodles are made fresh daily by the owner. The pictures do not do the food justice, as its MUCH more amazing in person. Decided to stop off during the lunch hours. Was attended immediately and in a comfy booth. Our orders on our visit: Curry Beef Udon Agemochi Oroshi Udon Shoyu Fried Chicken Side Shrimp Tempura Side Yuzu Sparkling Drink Kinako Flan with Brown Sugar We started with the Shoyu Fried Chicken, each piece was perfectly cooked. Only dark meat was used and a side of lemon slice for lite seasoning. It's all it really needed and was finished in a few bites The Shrimp Tempura was so light and flavorful the only unfortunate part is that it's gone in less than two bites and leaves you wanting more. The Curry Beef Udon was absolutely fantastic, not overpowering in flavor and rich enough to stick to the udon and beef to make an amazing flavor combination. The Agemochi was a unique new tasty experience. I've only eaten mochi cold and with fruit flavors. The mochi served was very chewy and stretchy but in a good way as it soaks up broth with every bite. 😀 We found a unique drink being offered and I am always happy to try new foods and drinks I happily drank the deliciously sweet Yuzu Sparkling Drink, although high in sugar it's Yuzu flavor complimented all the dishes we ate great 👍 To finish off our great lunch we tried the in house Kinako Flan with Brown Sugar. The taste was surprisingly mild and extremely smooth, reminding me of a semi sweet pudding drizzling with liquid brown sugar. Very happy overall with all aspects of the restaurant and am looking forward to visiting more often and trying more amazing foods on the menu.

This restaurant in its hay-days used to line up outside the restaurant. I have been coming here since 1990, and over the last 8 years or so, watched this once landmark restaurant deteriorate. It is really sad how few changes in ownership can kill such a great thing. This is not the once awesome Sanuki. Their menu and udon broth is nowhere near what it once was. Sad. Stay away from this place. Update: I heard from a friend (4/22/2021) that there was new ownership. I revisited. Found out it still the same. Udon was nothing special - taste just like any other instant udon.
