A good friend told me that the soba noodles are handmade in the back of this restaurant and the story is too good to check because the soba is awesome. I like it cold but you can get it hot. It feels (and is) so healthy. Hot and cold teas are complimentary.

On the second day of my trip to California with my friends from Seattle, we were looking for a quick and simple lunch spot when we stumbled upon a Japanese udon restaurant that served hot, savory broth. The atmosphere reminded me of a restaurant I used to frequent in a Korean neighborhood, which made me feel comfortable and at ease. The unique udon menu items we saw on offer were also very impressive and something I had never seen before in Seattle or Korea. Most importantly, the broth was exactly to my liking, so it didnt feel too heavy as my first meal of the day, and the staff were all very friendly and kind. Despite the Seattle-like cloudy and chilly weather, my body and mind were warmed up, and I felt great.

This is great real Japanese food! It’s not “fast” food. Expect to eat fresh food! I didn’t wait SO long but the food does take some time. It’s very much worth it! 🙏👌

Super homey, go on a quick lunch break or a relaxed dinner with friends and family. Wide selection of simple, Japanese classic toppings. Both soba and udon are made with so much love, I love the texture. The light yet flavorful bonito broth encapsulates the expertly crafted noodles. Cant wait to go back to try all the toppings!

Wonderful, unpretentious dining. I had to google what the different menu items listed were, but that was part of the fun for me. My meal came out fast and was exactly what the doctor ordered for my scratchy throat. Broth was great and the soba noodles were too.

It’s been a while since I visited this place. I came here today and ordered Katsu-don and Zaru combo. Pork meat was hard and no taste although rice is still ok. Zaru had a parchment paper under soba. Probably they want to omit to wash Zaru itself but unnecessary water from soba didn’t go through and soba became so watery. It made dip sauce weaken and didn’t taste nice compare to before. Since taste is not good level and became expensive due to inflation and etc, it is sad but I will probably never come back to this place, although this used to be my favorite location.

Came here on Saturday afternoon for the soba noodles with tempura with my family. Love hole-in-the-wall places and understand service is usually an afterthought, but...We felt like we inconvenienced her when we asked for recommendations because she was very snappy and condescending. It felt horrible. The broth was tasty but the soba and the whole experience from the run down place and unnecessary rude service, took away from a nice family experience. So sad cause the tempura was good.

🇯🇵 JAPANExcerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles:When a place ships fresh Japanese buckwheat across the Pacific in refrigerated cargo containers and even supplies some local South Bay favorites like I-naba with soba, it clues you in to the must order dish offered at Ichimi Ann, which also has Bamboo Garden on its sign in English. That soba, while different from a hot pepper for sure, also bursts with flavor on each bite.

Very simple, but great! Needed to reset my diet for the week because I was eating too much red meat and unhealthy foods. Soba seemed like a perfect meal, not too heavy but still a decent portion amount of food. The workers all speak Japanese as well, which is always reassuring to me when I eat at Japanese restaurants.
