Strong fried oil smell — better ventilation is needed.

The mushroom udon from U:DON was earthy, brothy, and slurp-worthy.

Fantastically delicious food, very genuine atmosphere. Can get a bit pricey, especially with the add-ons you can get after ordering the noodles such as the wings or takoyaki. All in all fantastic experience, just need to make sure the budget can account for it.

Our first time in here. We got a crave for some udon and this place hit up. The entrance is a little confusing because we were trying to find how to order but found quickly a worker to help. The food was ok, not a lot of flavor on the broth, my best beef rice bowl was super yummy. The side dishes were a plus also. We got some tempura vegetables and chicken kaarage at $1.10/pc not bad. The tables were a little sticky so that is the knock on the stars. Overall ok. No parking nearby

Mentaiko udon is a must! Especially adding the free tempura flakes. Service friendly and nice. Tan tan though was not authentic, wouldn't get that again. Kind of pricey. Prices went up a lot since 2024.

As of May 2025, everything is priced $3 more than last quarter, 3 months ago. At this point the price is a deterant. When I first started coming a regular Udon was less than $10 now it's nearing $20. I know times are tough but I cannot go here regularly anymore...

Great udon with excellent service. The staff is friendly, and the food is served quickly. Portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The only downside is that parking is limited to street parking, which costs $5 per hour.

A bunch of their udons are great but I most commonly get the curry udon and add kitsune tofu. Huge delicious meal (at least at medium or large size) that's cheap for the area. I always walk out of here glowing.

This place is probably my most frequented in the city. The portions are big and the prices are great, the food is always amazing. One of the best cheap eats in the city.

The restaurant space is quite small and outdated, with limited parking. However, the food is delicious and the service is decent.

Flavor is okay, portions are great. Nothing much to complain about, it's just fast-food style udon.

We had dinner here on a Friday night and were the only ones in the restaurant. I ordered the beef rice bowl, but I regretted that I didn't get anything with spice in it. I put some of the katsu sauce from the order line on it. I liked the self-bussing table policy and the compost option for the food waste. The portion size was good.
