"Taro San Japanese Noodle Bar opened last month in Palo Alto’s Stanford Shopping Center with a brief menu of creative dishes featuring freshly made udon. Now, the restaurant has unveiled its full menu, with almost twice as many izakaya-style small plates and some new udon creations, including a vegan curry udon. The standout, though, is likely the udon with uni mentaiko cream sauce, ikura, and fresh uni on top." - Janelle Bitker
