"JAPAN via Eat the World Los Angeles) No matter how out of style udon can be, the noodle love of Kagawa Prefecture is front and center at one of Gardena's longest running favorites. The bento $17.95) comes with so much to eat, with compartments of tuna sashimi, chicken karaage, grilled mackerel, pieces of tempura and Japanese root vegetables. A small but filling bowl of tanuki udon, rice, and tempura dipping sauce join the party. While Kotohira is not the place you come for these individual things, altogether the bento is terrific value especially with such a strong bowl of udon. This much good food for less than $20 is not something you find much around town these days."
