" Aizen is an experience I highly recommend if you are in the area! The menu is creative and features items made from scratch, with evident care put into each dish. Their sushi rolls looked amazing too! The only downfall was that it felt a bit crowded during dinner service, but food was still worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Aizen was awesome! Everything from the warm welcome to the mouthwatering udon made for a lovely evening out. I had the uni cream udon which was perfectly creamy without being overwhelming. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, and I never felt rushed. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience at Aizen was wonderful! The atmosphere is chic and welcoming, and the food was outstanding. The udon had a perfect texture, and the restaurant managed to capture authentic flavors expertly. The service staff were cheerful and accommodating. Next time, I plan on trying the tasting menu as I hear it offers incredible value! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Aizen on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint! The dashi broth was exquisite and paired perfectly with the udon. The atmosphere was lively, and I found the staff to be attentive and friendly. My only critique would be that I wish the udon portion was a little larger. Overall, definitely a place to try for udon lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Aizen on a busy Friday night, and while I enjoyed the ambiance, I felt the service was a bit lacking due to the crowd. The food itself was good; the tanuki udon was tasty, but I've had better at other establishments. I wouldn't call it a bad experience, just not what I expected. I’ll likely give it another shot during a less busy time because I believe it has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Aizen was lovely! The atmosphere was perfect, especially for a dinner out with friends. I enjoyed a variety of dishes and each one was a hit! The udon had such depth of flavor from the broth and the ingredients tasted super fresh. I was pleasantly surprised - Aizen is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Aizen after hearing good things, and while I enjoyed my meal, I wasn't completely sold. The udon was good, but I found the portions on the smaller side for the price. The atmosphere is fine, but just didn't blow me away. Perhaps I should have tried their well-known seafood dish instead. " (*Curated Review*)
