8/10. this place was semi viral on insta reels where i heard about it. the interior of this place is small and it was packed since i went on a weekend during lunch. bar style seating only. the udon texture is fresh, bouncy and chewy. i’ve had dishes just like this in japan. the tempera was nice and airy and not greasy. while the food is great you are paying for the experience as well.

i was happy i could sub out the bacon tempura for chicken <3 ngl i could taste the dish soap on the spoon …. and the noodles/soup was kinda salty…. but other than that it was yum and very filling and all the tempura was good

tempura was definitely highlight of the meal! so perfectly battered & crispy while the udon noodles were slightly too soft and broth was just a little salty. service was attentive and good but i’d still choose raku over here for udon any day

OK, they literally only give you 6 noodles…I know they’re big, but still it’s not enough🙃. Fire shrimp tempura though

New York has a lot going for it, even though some believe it’s a 3rd world country. However, udon is not something we do well. We do it horribly. Also what is udon? How were these cold flat noodles udon? I miss Japan :/ I must admit the bacon tempura was quite yummy. Should’ve done the small plates at bungalow 😪

There is no bathroom here which is crazy - the waiter recommended going to the library down the street to pee but he said it’s closed on sundays??? Udon texture was sick and the broth was good. Bacon tempura was new to me but I don’t think I ever needed to eat bacon tempura Really squished too. Solid but not as good as the tsukemen place and tbh no bathroom is criminal

Great spot if you’re looking for peaceful solo dining. The hot udon set with tempura was pretty worth it + a lot of food; perf for a chilly day. Would recommend making it here 10-15min before opening because I’m pretty sure they start letting people in before the opening time found on Google. Otherwise, a line forms pretty quickly and it’ll probably be ~30min turnover time if you miss the prior wave.

While the food is decent, this restaurant is basically everything I despise about a certain type of restaurant. it exists solely to maximum extract your wallet. The optimizer the proprietors of this restaurant used is: - minimize input costs without genuinely upsetting most people (miniscule portion size) - maximize instagrammability and short form video virality; a. in its current presentation its a gimmick food. Ooohhhhh wide noodles and theyre ✨japanese✨. Tempura bacon ? b. "omakase" decor while playing shinunoga e wa and qr code ordering I think fuji kaze makes decent music. There are probably several dozen Japanese people who have devoted their lives to this type of udon. but this place is a simulacrum and makes me feel violated .
