Best udon in Seattle. Never liked the thick noodles of udon until I tasted these. Love the On-tama with extra green onions!
Miraj ShahAugust 12, 2015Loved the kitsune udon, very fresh taste. Tip: add grated radish and sour plum (and ontame (soft poached egg) if you want extra protein). Great slection of tempura, make sure to dunk it in your soup!- Phuong NguyenMay 16, 2018I always get the Niku Udon with extra seaweed and egg! Stock up on the tempura flakes. Their drinks are at the very end of the line as you pay, so make sure you don't forget to grab a green tea!
Durwood GaffordMay 20, 2014Awesome one-man Japanese noodle walk-up. It's hard to find but it's on Stone Way at the southbound 16 bus stop just south of 45th. Chat with Pat, the owner - he's a great guy!
Leslie WilsonNovember 27, 2013Curry udon is delicious, but be sure to grab lots of napkins unless you can slurp gracefully somehow. Tempura sides are so so unless they are super fresh and the price adds up quick.- If you're feeling adventurous, try the Cold Ontama with half sauce, two eggs, a slice of lemon, green onions and seaweed. Hands down the best udon in Seattle.
one of my favorite places to eat as a student - yummy noodles best enjoyed when the weather is colder, yums!- The kitsune udon is divine--try it even if you don't normally care for tofu. On a warm day, the cold oroshi udon (with ume!) is super refreshing.
Seattle Chinese TimesFebruary 23, 2012Fresh udon is made by owner Takanori Kurachi and his chefs everyday. You can mix and match ingredients to make your customized bowl of noodle. Read more
This place nails the Japanese fast food aesthetic. For an authentic bowl I recommend niku ume oroshi or tan tan goma zaru.- Allie CaudleAugust 17, 2018Wonderful warm-up spot on a cold and rainy day! I recommend the Curry Udon.
Alice HuangJanuary 28, 2016Udon is so fresh and delicious. Tempura bar only really good if they just brought out refills.- Another house favorite: cold ume oroshi niku udon. Just ask the staff about it and they'll make sure you have a good time!
- Love the on-tama and niku udon. The noodles are perfect.
Robin ChenJuly 3, 2019I think the food is meh. The tempura is cold, warm at best, and no longer crispy. The seating is kinda clean and the floor is sticky. But it just hits that spot so I end up coming back 😐
Ask for a lemon wedge, especially with cold udon. So refreshing.
Curry udon all the way! Dont know about others but the tempura flakes fill me up rather quickly
Ly LeFebruary 16, 2015Have to confess that I want to come here bc of the takoyaki than udon ;) it doesn't mean udon is not good though, just not the best :/
- If you like Japanese curry and udon, you'll love their Curry Udon!
- Curry udon was amazing but yes, the tempura bar adds up fast. $1 eggplant isn't shabby though.
