Simon LeungSeptember 2, 2015There are very few places that serve cold udon period. This place does it amazingly well. One of my favorites.
Destiny ChambersNovember 3, 2015Get the sushi tacos. Not at all what you would think. And the Wasabi Margarita, yes, and more yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
Amy ShackelfordJanuary 29, 2015A little overpriced but delicious food! The udon was yummy but if I go back, I think I'll order sushi and dumplings!
The food here is so tasty! I love this spot. If you want the pork betty i recommend bozu though.
Yellowfin tuna roll and pork belly udon! The broth is incredible. Lychee martini is also yum.
Cynthia LinJanuary 2, 2017Food is fantastic, but service super nonchalant. A poor couple at the front of the wait line waited for 20 minutes without being spoken to, so eventually left. Spice bukkake was great.
Celeste GMay 3, 2013A gem. Taco sushi was delicious, gyoza too. Udon super fresh and made in house. Lovely communal table.
Blue JamesonMay 17, 2015You have to try the pork dip sauce and the seafood curry udon combined. It was so delicious
Dilber MutluJanuary 3, 2016The vegetable dumplings are to die for! The service, presentation and taste are great!!
Ian MarshallNovember 5, 2020the cold bukkake udon is a great meal when it’s hot out. really good sake selection here too
Brian RiesMarch 1, 2015Ah, the joy of Udon. Slurp some noods here and pig out on pork gyoza while you wait for refills on the noodles.
Start off with some sushi tacos. Stow your things away on the shelf under the communal table and get some cash.- Sahil KathawalaNovember 5, 2015Udon is phenomenal. This and Samurai Papa are some of the best noodle houses in Brooklyn
- Eric LanehartJuly 16, 2016Dipping-style udon with some sweet potato tempura on the side is what's up on a hot July evening
Kristina RudicJune 10, 2017This place is great for groups! Sushi is simple but the tacos are cool and unique!
The broth is so rich here that any udon's you pick will be delicious. The communal table is surprisingly comfortable. Hot sake here is a must.
Stephanie MarloJanuary 17, 2017Sushi and gyozas were great! Udon was a little salty, but overall really yummy.
Martin GattiSeptember 6, 2017Best Chicken garlic, gyoza, sushi taco, for dessert the matcha cocktail
Mike BodgeAugust 15, 2011The communal table is awesome...order some sake, get some pork gyozas, a course of their signature sushi tacos (huh?) and a pork belly udon to finish.
DinaApril 29, 2014Open for lunch till 4pm. Great, inexpensive Japanese udon and appetizers. Several veg. options
Try adding the wild Japanese veggies to your udon for a healthy dose of greens and mushrooms.
Pork curry udon is tasty but the sushi "tacos" are great. Order uni if they have it.
Jewish National FundSeptember 25, 2017This place is awesome. A must visit for us when we are in Williamsburg
Daniel MeisterAugust 18, 2013Make sure to get the pork dumplings as appetizers. Great flavor and they melt in your mouth!
Peter ShumJanuary 12, 2016It's hard to find a good udon place in Brooklyn. Samurai mama does a pretty good udon
Ofra OfritaMarch 25, 2016Pork Gyoza just ok. Sushi sampler poor quality fish. Pork soup amazing! Curry soup super curry flavor -- a little too thick for my taste.
Amanda HuDecember 11, 2016Had to wait to get in for dinner on a weeknight. Good food though. Loved the pumpkin app.
AmateurConciergeNovember 4, 2018Nicely priced, but still doesn’t make it close to a 9+ rating. Pork curry udon was good. “Taco” is a misnomer. Cocktails are not up to snuff. Edamame served cold.
Nick PanayotopoulosJuly 26, 2018Bukake is a place on earth. Gyoza, fried chicken, sushi taco set, udon — GIVE IT TO ME.
ninaSeptember 1, 2011Udon noodle soup with pork belly and scallion and the mackerel in miso are great! $2 Sapporo before 8 pm too.
