Izakaya Akatsuki - Hand-crafted Udon Soba

Parking is really easy even on weekends. The restaurant is spacious and the staff is friendly. The menu has lots of different food options. This place is great to hang out with friends and family to catch up or meet up. Our party had a baby, they have high chairs and staff were very accommodating, we did not feel like a nuisance while dining here. When the baby was rowdy and there was a lobby area just a short walk away to calm the baby down with various Japanese decor.

Holy Cow! This place is fantastic. Quick service. The interior is roomy, clean, and beautiful. The hot tea was on our table in seconds and the original umami made udon is the best noodles I’ve had in the South Bay. The spicy crispy tofu is the right amount of spice and the karaage is tasty. Must try spot!

I got the lunch combo, udon + kanpachi bowl. The udon was good, but nothing incredible. I really enjoyed the kanpachi bowl, though. The sashimi was flavorful and fresh and rice was perfectly made. I also sampled the kuzukake with soba -- it was okay. The broth was tasty, but the soba seemed overcooked and a bit too soft.

Good food, good atmosphere

Like the food and the services.

Great experience with a large group of 20 in the private room. We ordered cream mentaiko nabe hot pot with udon set - generous portion of mentaiko and delicious homemade udon - good size for 3 small people or two large people :) they were kind enough to give us two matcha cake for the birthday boys. I will be back soon and hopefully will get to try to sit in their tatami room! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian hot pot

I ate here first maybe two weeks ago and have been back six times since. It is very well made Japanese food and very fresh. I feel great after eating and have enjoyed everything I have tried. The staff is also top notch.
