    Be here early or prepare to queue. Also, be prepared to wait for the food as it seems to take the same time whether the place is full or not.

    I don't get what all the fuss is about. Stupidly long waiting time and seems overpriced. Guess I'm not an appreciator of authentic udon. Give me ramen any day!
