Ben W.Ben Watkins: Fav Philly restaurant hits NYC. Spicy fish tofu stew is the bomb. Get three pepper (anything) for crispy, spicy noms. Any of the noodle appetizers are yummy as well

HeenaHeena: Spicy cucumber, cold noodles with chili oil and cumin style tofu were favorites! Tofu hot sauce style great. Tofu garlic sauce style good also if you want less spicy. Non-veg:heard cumin lamb is great

Noah W.Noah Weiss: Some of the best spicy Chinese in NY. Standouts: dan dan noodles, spicy chicken wings, cumin lamb and chicken, Ma po tofu.

Ashley C.Ashley Chen: The appetizers are great - tofu is excellent

Emily W.Emily Wilson: Yakitori, agedashi tofu, hot soba with duck were all very good, but the atmosphere is quite sterile and lifeless. It's perfect for diners looking for quietude and privacy; very traditionally Japanese.

Christianna H.Christianna Hay: Ikasumi soba, tantan soba and tofu are all beautifully done!

Udon Restaurant · East Village · 119 tips and reviews

Sissi N.Sissi Nie: Incredible. Amazing apps (tofu, bacon, and chicken). Get the Beef udon for entree. Can't wait to come back here tomorrow.

EaterEater: These 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).

Ailie C.Ailie Chang: Come in groups of two. You will be seated faster. Start off with the Edamame, Chicken Tatsuta-age, and Agadashi Tofu. Get the Niku Udon with an egg! Delicious broth and beef is so tender. Cash Only.

Ms H.Ms Helene: Meal of market sides 4 for $15-soy glazed tofu & broccoli, beets with goats cheese and walnuts were best. Sweet potato mash & grilled asparagus with Parmesan only ok.
