Reviews Summary
Sakagura-dori Imazu is praised for its authentic, chewy Sanuki udon and excellent value lunch sets. However, the tempura quality can be inconsistent, with some diners finding it greasy or soggy. The restaurant's accessibility and diverse payment options are also noted positives, though finding it within the building can be a minor challenge.
"Udon no Shikoku Acta Nishinomiya is easily accessible, just a one-minute walk from Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi Station. However, despite its proximity to the station, its location on the first floor of the Acta Nishinomiya West Building can be a little confusing due to the building's layout and layout. The restaurant is easy to find if you look for the escalator near the station. The restaurant's relaxed atmosphere makes it a welcoming space for both solo and family dining. The udon noodles are chewy, the tempura made with seasonal ingredients is delicious, and the lunch price of around 1,000 yen is excellent value for money. Payment methods accepted include cash, credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, JCB, AMEX, etc.), and various electronic payment methods (transportation IC cards, Rakuten Edy, nanaco, WAON, iD, QUICPay). QR code payments, such as PayPay, are also accepted. There is ample seating, and although it tends to get crowded during lunch hours, food is served quickly. Takeout is available, and the restaurant is stroller and wheelchair accessible. All seats are non-smoking, so it was comfortable even while eating. Personally, I think this would be a great udon restaurant for everyday use if they could just clarify the confusing flow of people inside the building."

"It's located on the first basement floor of the Acta West Building.
I was able to get in without lining up at 12pm on a weekday.
This time I had the tempura and zaru.
The udon is chewy and delicious, as you'd expect from Sanuki udon. Each piece of tempura is large and looks impressive, but the shrimp tempura is mostly just the batter, and the eggplant and pumpkin have thin fillings, so it felt like you were eating the batter overall...
To be honest, the batter alone wasn't very tasty and was quite greasy, so I left most of it, sorry to say.
The service lunch, which came with seasoned rice, was a good deal at around 880 yen. I think it's better to come here for the udon rather than the tempura."
Yu U
"It was full on weekday lunchtimes. The inside of the store is large. By chance, the combination of the two items I ordered ended up being almost the same as the value lunch set, but the price was not cheaper... I would have been happier if they had told me that there was a value set available. However, before I left the store, he noticed the handbag I had dropped under the table and brought it to me, so I was very grateful! thank you very much."
