This restaurant was pretty good. They seem to mix Japanese, Thai, and Korean flavors which is very unique. The tonkotsu broth was good but I found it weak. I liked all the topping they added to. It makes the Udon taste better. This place is good if you're craving some unique Asian flavors. I probably would come back if I'm craving Udon again!

Had the shrimp tempura app and pork belly tonkonstu ramen! It was made fresh and absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back and they have quite the selection. The chef working was very kind!

I went there 3/9/24 @approx 5:30 pm . I was greeted right away by the server, she had a positive attitude and recommend items in the menu, The items she recommended were amazing. I got the chicken and rice bowl and gyozas, She also advertised new drinks coming soon which I am excited to try! The place was really clean and the environment was nice and calm. I would recommend my friends to try this place.

Went with my brother for the first time on Saturday. Talk about a hidden gem. The food was fantastic, the staff was friendly. The atmosphere is a little sparse but I would highly recommend for a date night for impressive delicious food.

This place is so good I went three days ago and it was really good They have a really big menu and lots of things to choose from I only take one star off because the service was a little bit slow, but it was Valentine’s Day, so that’s understandable, but either from that it was delicious and I will definitely go againKid-friendliness: Super nice they always have different types of cartoons on the TVs

8:00 on a Friday night. This place is dead. My partner and I walk into Udon Nomi and walk into a stark and boring dining room which is devoid of any decoration or character. There are dirty tables and trash on the floor. We get the menu, and I'm hopeful that this meal will be better than the food I got when they first opened. Nope. Food was dreck, and I'm being generous calling it that. I ordered Palo Udon because I was craving a dark soy and garlic broth. That is exactly how it was described on the menu. I wanted something robust, you know? Bland and undersalte, with no soy OR garlic flavor. Only star anise. AND SUGAR. Tons of sugar. The limp and flavorless pork belly was sweet, the noodles were sweet, the pathetic barely-a-tea-egg was sweet. Like cereal milk after super sugar smacks. Absolutely inedible. My partner got the kimchi bowl, and it was just as awful. Old-tasting, gloppy rice, the most bland kimchi known to man, and another batch of boring tasteless meat. Just ugh. We also ordered kimchi pancakes, and they had to be a frozen product. Flat, greasy, and also devoid of flavor. Honestly, kimchi pancakes are easier to make than American ones, people! And I'll be making them for hubs tomorrow. Please do yourselves a favor and skip this place. They are still in the weeds.

Wonderful! Was excited to discover they have Thai food in addition to a great selection Japanese and Korean, and the curry I got with spiced tofu was SO tasty. The waitress was helpful and fun, and food came faster than I expected. Window seating was great for people watching, and I love Elgin's easy free parking. This place is a gem.

Got the egg rolls, gyoza, and Tonkatsu udon. Everything tasted really good. The lemonade was new to me and very sweet. Whoever was on aux was awesome too. Never expected CAS and Radiohead to be playing while I eat at a ramen place?.

We have been here twice. Each time, the food and service had been phenomenal. The K-pop Udon is so excellent. The steak bento box was a hit as well. Every component of each dish is crafted with quality and care. You can tell they put their love into the food they create.Our daughter asked for her birthday meal to be here. We traveled from Kokomo Indiana! Worth the drive!Vegetarian options: Excellent vegan options!
