The ankake udon is really unique and delicious. Tiny little space with a hip & minimalist decor.
Niku udon is my favorite! Amazing soup beef tendon soup for base. And monkfish liver to start
Delicious tofu and beef udon. The udon bowls are large so go when you're hungry!
Best place I've found for Chine Nage Udon (Kimchi Udon w/ a raw egg & beef) Yum!
Hot Udon noodles and a Sapporo Special Reserve, perfect filling and delicious late-night comfort food.
Favorite place for japanese curry in combination with a casual bowl of udon.
go for lunch and get the special bento lunch set which comes with tasty grilled salmon, stewed chicken and vege, lightly battered tempura and noodlicious soba or udon. unagi is reccommended!
Absolutely one of the best udon places I've been to in the city. They make a mean udon tempura! Avoid their tofu block appetizer though- it's a strange toothpastey consistency.
nabeyaki udon & Yokozuna salad: perfect meal
Come here for the Nabeyaki udon. One word: nom.
The fish is super fresh. But the real secret is the udon. The broth is too good! I suggest the simple Yasai Udon to compliment you sushi.
Reliable and affordable East Village sushi. The blackened tuna was a highlight and don't sleep on the Udon!
Sushi lunch special with cold soba was delicious. Don't be tempted by the udon, get the soba!
Cold udon noodles
Best soba in New York City! Everything is fresh, delicious and the ambiance is chill. They also make the famous RAIN DROP CAKE - you must try the magic ✨👍✨👌
Drink some of the best sake in town, wolf down their delicious udon, and scribble your name in Sharpie on the wall!
Niku Udon (meat noodles) here rule the world.
Good to see my old cool out, down low, underground spot is still going strong after about 12 years. Sake selection is crazy and udon noodles is dope as well. Been a minute but ill be back. Count on it
Stingray, Japanese pancake, cream coquettes, takoyaki, fried udon.. I can see why ppl wait to eat here! Yumm!!!! Cotton candy machine is fun.
Get a bunch of different small plates and an $8 Sapporo pitcher. The fried udon with intestines was smelly but tasty.
I usually get any of the chicken skewers or the rock shrimp. The service is a bit lacking and it's extremely crowded for an already shoe-sized venue. Hit up Udon West for less of a wait!
Best of the best was their kimchi udon!
Try everything -- especially tako (baby octopus), chicken skewers with plum sauce, and grilled rice cake. Slurp some ramen and sip a soju cocktail. Order more as you go and feel like you're in Tokyo,
Udon West' karaage is better.
Possibly the only Japanese place with a major Bob Marley theme in NYC.
$20 special before 6:30 includes a great salad, miso soup, a ton of tempura, grilled fish, tuna roll + 1 each salmon/yellowtail/tuna sushi (or 3 each sashimi and rice), and fresh fruit plate. HELLO.
The $20 special that everyone is talking about is called twilight dinner. And it's the jam. Choose sushi or sashimi and then the parade of food begins!
Get the Afternoon Plate. Amazing food, very reasonably priced. I would say it's the best "teishoku" (定食) I've had outside of Japan.
Very good udon and great sake!!
Always get a Momofuku ramen bowl. Get creative with an appetizers. Don't miss any corn dish which is always amazing. Also never miss the shrimp and grits if it's on the menu.
This is a must-stop for me when I’m in NYC, but you can’t go wrong at any of David Chang’s restaurants. -Monica Pope, Top Chef
Without a doubt the omakase sushi sashimi platters are the way to go. Although not on the menu, it comes with miso soup, salad and fried oysters. A tremendous value.
If you aren't getting the spicy tuna pizza, I have one question for you: why aren't you getting the spicy tuna pizza?
K-Mac sliders and sashimi salad(pictured) are crazy good
Everything is delicious. Favorites include edamame guacamole, dumplings, all ramen dishes (especially cold ramen salad and miso ramen soup).

the delivery guy from souen east village couldn’t figure out our door buzzer and told my girlfriend to go fuck herself.
