Menya Hanabi Arcadia - The Original Nagoya Mazesoba

The service is excellent for such a crowded restaurant. Servers move efficiently through tight spaces and have great memory. The food is also fresh, the broth is a little on the salty side but fine for me. If you are from the bay area peninsula, think Kajiken.

This noodle place has simple menu and very tasty food. I ordered their deluxe Nagoya mazesoba noodle and homemade matcha. Every bite made me wanting more.

Deluxe mazemen - 4.25 stars Great bonito-based flavour with umami like a tonkotsu ramen. Too salty though. Curry mazemen - 4 stars Appreciated that this was less salty, with a curry flavour less sweet than the usual Japanese curry too. On the milder side.

Been swinging by this spot more often lately—especially with the hotter weather, I’ve been seriously craving their noodles. It had been a while since my last visit, but I’m glad I came back. You order through a QR code at the table, and my go-to is the Deluxe Mazemen—basically a dry Japanese noodle bowl loaded with toppings. The flavors are deep, rich, and full of umami. It can get a little heavy, but that’s where the vinegar comes in—just add a splash to balance it out. The chashu pork in the deluxe is tender and flavorful, and the noodles are always cooked just right. Once you finish most of your noodles, you can ask for a free scoop of rice to mix with the leftover toppings—a perfect way to round out the meal. Lately, I’ve also been enjoying their broth (I think it’s chicken and pork

Credit where credit is due, the food is really good. Everything fried was really crispy. The Karaage had a crispy crust, but the actual meat was juicy. The noodles aren't ramen with soup, but they tend to specialize in more Tsukemen style noodles (gravy, instead of broth). Staff was professional in front of you at least. Personally, I'm not a fan of the decor, but I'm sure there are people that will like it.
