A few weeks ago Tom and I headed into the city to look into buy me a bike. We didn't end up getting a bike that day, but since we were in the city, we decided to head over to Japan town to pick up some lunch and Japanese staples. As we got closer to Japan town, we noticed that streets were blocked off, and then I spotted something I truly love- food booths. Of course I got really excited and decided we had to stop.
We finally found some parking and as we walked over to the middle of Japan town, we realized that there was a full out parade going on, right down the main street of Japan town. It was really hard getting around and pushing through the crowds to actually get to where the food was, and when we finally got there, we found long lines, and worse, lots of stuff that I just don't eat (lots of bbq and such). So we ended up going to the mall instead- which took some more effort pushing through the crowds. Finally we arrived at Mifune, a noodle shop in the mall known for its great lunch deals and homemade noodles.
We waited a little while to get in, and were finally seated in this packed restaurant. Luckily, the lunch special was still available. You got your pick on an appetizer and entree and it's just $11. I ended up getting a bowl of wakame udon and an appetizer of California rolls.
Tom got cold soba and an unagi rice bowl.
It was all pretty standard fare, but better than average. The noodles are homemade and definitely had a better texture than the super expensive udon we'd had a O'Chame, but the broth was ok. Overall, this was a very pleasant lunch choice- cheap and the noodles definitely hit the spot. I'm not sure we'd go again in the future, I'd like to try the conveyor belt sushi place first.
