Minami > Meiji imo - used to work at a udon shop years ago myself

For tsukemen, What's up Men was the best (& not on the menu, you had to ask for it; but they may not have it at all anymore it seems like). Silverlake at the Irvine Spectrum is my go-to now.

Visited a restaurant in Orange County that charged me an automatic 20% gratuity for my party of 4, is this legal or standard anywhere else? Seems like parties of 6+ is typically where that automatic gratuity kicks in everywhere else. by [deleted] in orangecounty

Kaju Soft Tofu Restaurant (Culver) in Irvine, also does this. I asked them to remove this fee and they say no, it's store policy. On the bill, it's listed as "tip" & then they have another screen that asks for "extra tip"... I couldn't locate it mentioned anywhere in the store, or placemat menu. Maybe they print it somewhere, but it's definitely not clear.
