Udon: A QUEST! - Part 2

Biwa
215 SE 9th ave

I've been to Biwa before. They serve really excellent Japanese food in general, but don't serve sushi or tempura (they do sell sashimi). On their late night menu they have shockingly good burgers made with ground beef tartar.

Noodles: Not slimy, and well-formed. Somehow unsatisfying, though. They didn't have enough heft and chewiness to them, which probably means that they weren't kneaded enough.

Chicken: No chicken.

Broth: Pretty good. Not too salty, decent flavor.

Extras: The frothy kind of tofu, sliced thin, kale (or something like it), soft boiled egg cut in half, kamaboko.

Conclusion: Unoffensive, but boring. I really wish the noodles were better, and that there were chicken. The quest continues.
