Jeffrey KaoNovember 10, 2016Probably the best texture of noodles you can find in New York. It's like eating strips of a cloud!
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
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).
Victor ZhangOctober 3, 2017hands down best udon in the city. herring or tripe udons are my favourite.
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.
Rainbow TDecember 12, 2015Handmade udon but not freshly handmade udon. Thick udon is not as thick. Overall udon + broth is OK.

"I'm always skeptical of Union Sq spots but loved this place. Cool vibe and the handmade Udon noodles are fantastic. Price point is comparable to ramen joints in the city. My favorite was the Sukiyaki."

"This little hole in the wall is easy to pass by, but don't miss out on it. They have excellent authentic Japanese dishes served with a smile."

"This cafe and ice cream shop is the perfect place to unwind during the day or after dinner. Free WiFi is available, as are excellent ice cream flavors (Earl Grey, Pistachio, Currants & Cream)."

"Love the unconventional dessert flavors here. Green tea lava cake is by far a favorite, but all the tapas are amazing - so get a bunch with your friends and share!"
Kristina Rodulfo - 8.8
"One of the best tea houses on the city. Don't just come for the desserts they have great savory snacks too"
