Sofia Figueroa: The tantan udon was delicious and just the perfect amount of spice. Huge serving! Service is great and good tunes food the ambience. Green tea is made per serving with powder, delicious.
Long Cao: Easily the best udon place in the city, and a little larger than its sibling in East Village. Come hungry and get the Niku, the amount of food is a lot larger than you might think.
Andrew Litvak: Amazing and low-key udon spot. Make sure you try the starters (duck breast was phenomenal) as well as the udon. Reservations recommended.

Sonal Adhav: The friend chicken mew is delicious! Also loved the udon mentai special. Chill place for a late snack on Fri night
Anastasiia ....: Ramen would not be the first choice for this place. Kimchi udon was very good as well as short rib. The crab balls was very creamy inside. But i still love this place and will be back for sure!
Jennifer Orr: Everything we ordered was really tasty and flavorful, from the kiwi cocktail to the kimchi creamy udon, tuna tataki, corn skewer and sushi rolls. Would definitely return and try more!

infusia: 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!
Stephanie Kim: 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.
eva chen: nabeyaki udon & Yokozuna salad: perfect meal

Japanese Restaurant · SoHo · 27 tips and reviews
Jeremy Goldstein: Best Agedashi and Sashimi I have ever had. Also of note: the Shabu-Shabu and the Omen Udon (served cold).
Village Voice: The udon here is great, but some even better bites (cold burdock root or yuba with crab) can be found in the ever changing, seasonal, multi-course special meal. Expensive, but oh so worth it.
Alastair Tse: Best Udon in New York, very chewy. Just make sure you have either Amex or Cash.

Sushi Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 75 tips and reviews
Colin Lee: We had the delicious domokase set and split it between 2 ppl. We added two ala carte items: cold udon and salmon handroll. The greentea cheesecake is dense; not the fluffy kind
Monica Desai: Lunch is a steal here - get the hand rolls (love the crab, spicy yellowtail, negi toro) + a kitchen special (washu udon, soy chicken) for 2 and decompress for ~$15pp
Noah Weiss: Incredible $13-$18 lunches in serene environ. Handroll specials: negi Toro, blue crab, salmon avocado, spicy yellowtail. Set menus: soy fried chicken or washu udon beef rice bowl, all w/ chawanamushi
