" Had a decent meal here, but I won't be rushing back. The flavors were fine, but the overall experience didn't wow me. Portions felt small for the price point. Service was friendly and attentive; that was the highlight. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience here. The udon was decent, but I expected it to be better given the reputation. The service was spotty; I had to wait a long time for my order. I may consider returning but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a quick bite that satisfies, I recommend this place! Their udon dishes are flavorful and served quickly, which is perfect for a lunch break. However, it can get quite crowded, so be prepared to wait a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the more unique udon places I’ve tried! The different flavors they offer keep it interesting. I loved the duck and mushroom version, and the portion was satisfying! Plus, the mochi donuts were delightful. Staff was attentive to our needs. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not sure what all the hype is about, but I found the udon to be just okay. The broth was pretty average and portion sizes could be better for the price. The ambiance is nice but won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for lunch and the food was good but not exceptional. The portions seemed a little small given the prices but the overall quality was decent. Additionally, the atmosphere is nice—clean and friendly. Might come back for a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taro San is a gem hidden in the mall. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great place to relax after shopping. Both the chicken karaage and beef udon were delicious, but I found the portion sizes a tad small for the price. Overall, a solid dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
