Ishin Udon

I had read about the newest venture by restauranteur, Mike Tran.
Naturally, they are all congregated on Clarewood Drive in Chinatown.  Like Mein, Ohn Korean Eatery, Thai Night Market, Boba & Cream, Blkdog Coffee, and now Ishin Udon. 
Ishin, in Japanese means one heart.  This is all focused on Udon and some small side Japanese dishes.
I love their taste in art and details.  This space is definitely smaller than Ohn or Mein, but still just as good.
Dishes came quickly too, all looked great!
Agedashi Tofu - we were just saying that these are warm on the outside and not scolding hot on the inside, like a lot of the places.
Then, we ordered the Takoyaki.  I would say compared to Ramen Bar Ichi, theirs has more flavors but proportionately, they also have more batter than meat in comparison.
I got the Sukiyaki Udon.  It comes with beef, pouched egg, mushroom, onion and of course udon.  The soup is sukiyaki based, so it has a bit of sweetness to it.  The whole dish taste pretty great.  Service is superb even though they get busy quick.  They were accommodating about our seating and get our food to us fast.  Not much more you can ask for.
