“ Price is pretty good for the meal you get here. The food itself is pretty authentic. Service isn't exactly fast but there is really only a single chef so it can only be so fast. Ambience is a hit or miss depending on whether you're setting at the bar where it feels authentic or at the back table where it feels cluttered. ”
“ The karaage here is soooooooo good, I've been thinking about it all week!! They have many options and the sets are super filling. I got the gyoza set, which had noodles, gyoza, and rice, and we had to order karaage to share of course, so I was stuffed by the end of this meal. We sat at the counter so it was fun to watch the cooks prepare our food. Everyone working was attentive and kind. It is cash only but they have an ATM outside. ”
“ People seem to not understand how great of this small environment truly is, especially when it gives you the authentic feeling of going to a traditional udon place in Japan. Service is always on point wait time has been quick (at this time). Niku udon will forever be my go to dish same as their veggie spring rolls and curry udon. ”
“ THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY WITH A $10 MINIMUM PER PERSON. No frills udon shop serving some other classic Japanese fare on st marks. Ordered the takoyaki, curry udon, niku udon, and ebi-ten on the side. Total after tax and tip was a little under $50 which by NYC standards I'd say is very fairly priced. Everything was solid, but not mind blowing. Still think it's a great casual spot to go if you're looking for some reasonably priced food. I'd definitely come back. Space is pretty small. Mostly counter seating with a few tables in the back. Would not recommend for a big group. 2 is ideal. 4 would be max imo. Service can be a little slow since it's only like 2 people working, but they get food out at a pretty reasonable clip and keep things moving. Would recommend! ”
“ The food was amazing. Service was great. I got niku udon & my husband got the gyudon cause we love this style of Japanese beef. It's our go-to at every Japanese restaurant that has it. The beef and my soup was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. They also don't cheap out on the beef, they give you so much. We also got edamame as our veggie, which I have no complaints about, it was salted and a good complement to all that protein. Price is decent and amazing location. Not our first time here and will not be the last. ”
“ Being cash-only means the prices will be cheaper. Food: 5/5 I got the curry set. The rice was perfectly fluffy, I inhaled my food (oops). Noodles were great, miso soup broth was warm and cozy. My meal totaled to just under $13. Service: 5/5 Fast. No problems. Ambiance: 5/5 Cozy, warm-lighting. It's what you imagine when you think of a noodle place. ”
“ I missed this place so much, I know they were closed for a while and reopened and I visited after years of not coming back. I ordered their Karaage set and thankfully everything still hit the spot. The Karaage is so crispy outside and tastes soo good with squeezed lemon juice on top and the mayo it comes with. Their udon noodles are soft and chewy and I love how this set comes with rice too! This place is CASH ONLY so be prepared to bring cash! ”
