天讚烏龍麵
Dinner before a movie is always kinda awkward since there's no time for a big sit-down meal, but the typical food-court options get old after a while. Tempura Sanuki Udon is on the first floor of the Warner Vieshow Cinema with its entrance located on the side-street between the Cinema and the Neo19 building, so it's perfectly situated for pre-movie or post-shopping dining. Its offering of Japanese standards seemed like a good option for a quick sit-down meal.
Being down in the basement, the restaurant seemed a bit dark, relying on halogen spots to light its thick Japanese-style wooden tables and benches. I had the veggie ten-don with a big cake of tempura vegetables. SO had the pork yaki-udon, with lots of benito flakes on top. My rice bowl was drizzled with plenty of soy sauce, and her noodles had the soy sauce cooked in, so it tended a bit on the salty side but not out-of-line.
The restaurant is a cousin of the Aubergine Curry chain, and it lives up to the same standards of good casual Japanese dining. One of those options that's perfect to have around for a certain time-and-place, so we'll probably eat there again sometime when we're looking for a meal before the 7:30 showtime.
