Polina WeitzMay 1, 2021Delicious noodle soups. Beautiful broth, and amazing udon noodles. Highly recommended.
Joe MontesNovember 3, 2018Amazing, authentic udon. The restaurant is a little small, but super cozy.
EileenDecember 19, 2017Niku udon is so delicious! I’ve also tried gyunan and kamonan; they’re not as good
Victor ZhangOctober 3, 2017hands down best udon in the city. herring or tripe udons are my favourite.
Jeffrey KaoNovember 10, 2016Probably the best texture of noodles you can find in New York. It's like eating strips of a cloud!
EaterNovember 17, 2015These noodles are like a cross between the common udon we are familiar with and Italian linguine. The simplest, featuring fried bean curd or egg comes with seaweed or tempura (pick veg. or shrimp).
MaiFebruary 13, 2017The chikara udon is unbelievably good with tender chicken pieces and chewy mochi. Cash only!
Ron HsuDecember 22, 2015I've always found it a little offensive when people describe Asian dishes as cat food, but honestly the braised tuna dish...I had to laugh
Handmade udon noodles are worth it. Can't go wrong with any bowl.
Owen HerterichAugust 28, 2016Tiny place and slightly expensive, but the best noodles you’ll ever have
SusumuDecember 31, 2015Kaedama(extra noodle) is $3. Cash only. This place has been popular so expect long wait time. Unfortunately, no reservation.
Julius TarngSeptember 3, 2016Real hip, and good. But TBH just go to Udon West. Udon shouldn't be this expensive
Mike SchmidtFebruary 3, 2017if you want to eat udon while the door opens to the freezing cold. come here.

"Spicy Korean Udon is delicious. Not really spicy but enough spice to enhance the flavors quite well. The Taiyaki Ice Cream and the panacotta are both great but the panacotta is better"
