" Eating at Taro San was a delightful experience! The udon had a great chewy texture and the broth was rich and flavorful. I felt at home in the cozy setup, and I would recommend their unique rolls as well. The drinks were decent but not as exciting as the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is always buzzing! The freshness of their homemade udon shines through, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. My friends and I shared a variety of dishes, and we enjoyed each one. My favorite has to be the mochi donut holes—so chewy and just the right amount of sweet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my meal! The flavors were amazing, and the udon was spot on. I appreciate the authenticity of the dishes and would highly recommend the spicy salmon rolls as well. The prices are fair given the quality. Can't wait to return! " (*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*)
