Tanakaya@Tustin ★

Japanese Noodles Restaurant with long wait in Tustin. For a Saturday lunch, there was an hour wait to get seated. Food took about 30 minutes to come out. Soba Sampler was nice but not worth the long wait. Ume Shiso had the strongest flavor. Their food tend to be salty, so don't pour all the dipping sauce into the cup. The tempura was great too.

Cold Soba Sampler $14.95

Mishima@Beverly Hills ★★★

Mishima is Famous for their Udon/ Noodles. Tip: The Sushi Combo comes with half portion of noodles - you can choose inaniwa noodles. It's the best and most expensive noodles - smooth and soft. Only thing is that the Spicy Scallop Hand Roll is a disappointment to me, because it's made with cooked Scallop.
