Obento....YES...


I went to Japan last night - and it was less than 2 miles away at Obento-ya. We had nearly given up on this place due to irregular hours, but WHAT A GEM! I haven't had Udon this good since Nagoya airport. Love the atmosphere (some of the hippest folk I've seen this side of the river) and the simple decoration, love the great waitstaff, love the music softly beating in the background, and the food was just what it should be - good and affordable. I left feeling full, content, and healthy. And I love that they say goodbye when you leave - I miss that from SF. And lastly, this place was the definition of Hyggelig! Finally, we are finding our way.
