Udon is fresh and bouncy. The sushi add-on was also very fresh. The broth is clear and authentic.

However, felt the broth was too salty. The tempura also had no taste or seasoning. I think it’s not worth the price as the tempura udon was $22 and only came with one single shrimp.

Wait list was 1 hour on Friday night at 7pm.

A Japanese restaurant in Scarborough.
The smell is amazing as soon as you enter the store. The store is far from downtown, but it's a store you'll want to visit over and over again.

I've always wanted to go, and finally I got to go.
All the staff were Japanese, and the service was excellent.
Needless to say, the udon was delicious, as was the kakiage, eel, and sushi.
I was also surprised to see that they had Orion beer (a Japanese Okinawan beer).
I couldn't help but order and drink it, and even bought some as a souvenir to take home.
I'd definitely like to come again.

Very simple udon bar but their food is exceptional and you can expect great service from the staff. The udon itself is bouncy and not overly thick as it is hand made. Their tempura is easily the best I've had in GTA, it is not overly battered and the shrimp is fresh and chewy. I believe they use prawns and not shrimp as it is quite large and meaty. Katsu is thick and juicy. The chicken breast is slow cooked to keep its juice and tenderness.

Modern, bright and fresh. You'll find that the udon here is fresh and tender. Not as chewy as expected, but this is fresh and made with simple ingredients.
At Zen, they believe Umami should came from taste of food in its rawest form. Our udon is made with few simple ingredients. Their udon is made from 100% Japanese flour imported from Sanuki, Kagawa prefecture - Japan, sea salt and soft water. The soup base/broth is made in-house with Kelp Fine Shaved dried Bonito and Dried Baby Sardine. No MSG.
Though personally, while I enjoyed the rich umami flavors, I did find the broth a bit saltier.

BUTA-KAKU UDON $23
Very good, pork was super tender. Would recommend.

SET KAMO & UNAGI $40
Again, good, though the duck was more firm. With the Yuzu peels, added a nice hint of tartness.

Certainly worth checking out at least once. Fresh noodles aren't always available at many restaurants.
