I’ve had a great experience here every time! The salmon cream udon is great! I really enjoyed the flavor. The broth was really creamy and thick, almost like a gravy, so it was really heavy and filling. The kimchi miso special udon was also great. I also love how big the menu is so I can always get something different.

This is one of my favorite places in Cap Hill, they have great portions and the food is always good. If you go too late, they might be out of certain toppings and they switch to takeout only at 8:30p. They also have great local fountain sodas and a selection of Japanese drinks. Also heads up if you’re a regular that they just did a big price hike from 50¢ to $2 increase depending on the menu item

On the fence about U:don, not sure I'd go back. I would not get take out again from here.

Ordered the large katsu curry udon, the large salmon cream udon, 2 pieces of the kabocha tempura, and the asazuke pickles. Didn't receive the pickles (but thought I had all containers when I left). Tried calling to try charge refunded since I don't live nearby, didn't hear anything. Annoyed I left a tip and didn't get something I paid for.

The katsu was pretty good; not the most tender but had good flavor. The curry was pretty good, not too fatty and good flavor from the beef and onion.

The salmon piece was small and kind of tough. The cream broth was not unique and mostly tasted like watered-down Alfredo? Would not get that again.

Tempura kabocha was good. We ate that in the car before driving home.

I got the small bowl and my partner got the large. I would say the small plus some tempura was more than enough food for me (and I’m a small but active person who generally eats a lot). The noodles were also perfectly bouncy and chewy. Very impressed with the quality, especially with how fast everything came together.

Shout out to U:Don, just ate at Waikiki's Marugame that opened up at Southcenter. I remember when I had them in Waikiki I said "man, U:Don is better!" I couldn't feel more that way after having Southcenter's, U:Don is a better value with better ingredients and better recipes. Marugame was inedible, their "version" of karaage is light years behind the karaage at U:Don, and whatever their idea is for Tan Tan Udon, they should take a lesson from U:Don. Please open a South end location, we lack good Udon!

My favorite handmade udon noodle place in Seattle. Their Kake soup is so yummy and authentic. Their Karaage is super juicy. The price is so reasonable!! Highly recommended. I have been to this place 5+ times since I found this place last fall.

I always love coming here! It’s definitely become a comfort food for me. It’s super quick and well priced - I’d definitely recommend this place! Parking is always a challenge so be aware of that.

Its a great udon bar. A really intelligently designed place with very friendly servers and udon any way you like it!

Edit: still super reliable place to go. Beats the one in the district too. The staff are super friendly

The udon is good. The crab tempura is cold and not worth the price as it uses the fake crab meat.

I ordered the curry udon with gyudon meat to add to the udon. I added the gyudon a bit by bit to the udon and not just drop it all into the dish. Too salty and sugary on all ingredients. Gyudon was too. I've worked at an udon restaurant doing everything including making the dough into udon noodles and the rest of the operations. Never too salty or sugary. Good portions, decent prices but I'm wondering if I even got the basic kake broth udon and added curry sauce per bite, would it have the same issues.
