海鮮蕃茄湯烏冬Seafood Tomato Soup Udon $188
This time I tried their signature Inaniwa udon in a hot broth to see if it is as good as their cold one.
The udon noodles are still springy and silky but it doesn’t have a firm bite and ‘Al dente’ like texture to it. People who like soft noodles will enjoy this.
The tomato soup is the real star. So rich and savory with a mild sweetness to balance it out. I especially love the bits of tomato’s in the broth that has been cooked long and slow that it has been caramelized and become little plumps of sweetness. The consistency is thin but costs the spoon and you can tell they use fresh tomatoes. I also love the various vegetables in the broth, the cabbage and carrots are crunchy and crisp. Very refreshing to have with the soft noodles.
The seafood is the most disappointing part of this dish. The shrimp is all tiny and over cooked, nothing like the photo on the menu. The scallops are also small and tough. The clams are very sandy and fishy. You can tell the seafood they use for this is not fresh nor the best quality. However, they compensate by giving you lots of it.
I do not recommend this dish and recommend getting their other toppings for this soup. $188 is not worth for this quality of seafood as only the noodles and soup is good.
I forgot to mention this in my last review but each udon set comes with a inari sushi and pickled radish. The inari sushi may be the best part of the deal after the soup and noodles. The rice is soft with a tad chewiness and very flavorful. The tofu pocket is chewy and soaked in a soy sauce marinade. Perfect combination with the rice. The pickled radish is crunchy and a bit spicy, I just wished it was served colder as it would be more crisp.

💬 Overall, highly recommend this soup base but definitely not with the seafood. I will come back for their cold udon because I personally like the firm and glossy texture more but this was not bad.
