    Really easy to miss this udon spot but I love the aesthetic and vibe. Very similar aesthetic to an udon shop you'd see in Tokyo. There are 13 seats inside and some outdoor seating. All of the ordering is done through the QR code and it's pretty fast to get all the food. I ordered the niku udon and a Mexican coke. The noodles really tasted homemade and super chewy. Loved my dish and can't wait to go back. Reasonable prices and really efficient service.

    Amazing place! I came here on a Monday evening for dinner. They only take walk-ins. No reservations or take-out/delivery. Service is self service QR code where you can order on your phone. They'll bring you your order when it's ready. I highly recommend the cold udon! Very chewy and delicious. Very cool ambiance too. Looking forward to coming back.

    Don Udon is exactly what I was looking for, a no frills udon place that serves great udon for not an insane price (looking at you Raku). Ordering is via QR code which is nice and efficient; the food comes out pretty quickly too. Vibes feel like a down to earth Japanese restaurant, not upscale at all which is great.

    sesame dipping udon

    i got the dipping udon with a sesame sauce, which was an affordable & comforting meal. the udon texture was right on point, and while it didn't blow me away, i still enjoyed the sesame sauce. such a great, no-frills place for solo dining, especially if you snag a seat by the windows! the staff were super kind & service was quick, and you order your food via a qr code so it's great whether you're in a pinch or just want a nice meal!

    Bona fide Japanese food bar. Delicious, cheap, fast service. We were immediately sat at their craftily assembled expansive outdoor space, which was already busy for an early Monday dinner. We were able to access the menu and order with a QR code, where they have an extensive Udon selection. AMAZING that their udon broths are all fish broths unless otherwise labeled (just one is beef and one pork). Service was expeditious and friendly. Here was our order: - Udon wakame udon (seaweed udon, hot, subtle but delicious umami) and the Ume oroshi bukkake udon (has wasabi, very tasty flavor profile, cold) - Takowasa (wasabi octopus, favorite item -- delicious) - inari sushi (rice stuffed in deep-fried, softened tofu packets) - Mentai Gohan (cod roe on steamed rice -- very good) Looking forward to frequenting this neighborhood spot!

    The food was so good, we went twice in a row! First, for dinner service, it gets pretty packed, so you do have to wait in line outside. Lunch service was much easier and faster. Once you're let in, you order by the QR code which speeds up the process bc you pay when you order. All you have to do once you order is eat and leave. Now, the food! So, good, we initially went in and tried the beef on noodles both dry and soup. The noodles are so bouncy and chewy and fresh. The seasoning/ umami is JUST right. Second time we tried 2 different dishes, unagi and the Mentai shirasu oroshi udon. Both were so great again, with perfect balance of umami and added toppings.

    Beef udon without soup with ikura rice bowl

    After escaping Bed-Stuy, we wandered into Crown Heights for an early weekday dinner and spotted a new udon restaurant that immediately caught our eye. We didn't expect much, but ended up blown away. Food: 5/5 We initially planned on something simple--just an udon set--but couldn't help ourselves and added an eel appetizer and take wasabi to start. The udon? Hands down some of the best we've ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy yet tender--like fresh pasta--and the flavor of the broth was rich without being overpowering. I got a set with beef udon without soup with a small side of rice with Ikura (salmon roe), and there was so much beef that I could barely finish. My husband ordered the hot version and a separate bowl, and we both left extremely satisfied. I've literally paid $20+ elsewhere for half the portion and flavor. The value here is crazy--especially in Brooklyn. For around $100 total with tip, we were absolutely stuffed. Standout dishes: * Beef udon (hot or cold--can't go wrong) * Eel appetizer * Curry rice bowl Service & Vibes: 5/5 This spot is tiny--maybe 15 seats max--and you're definitely elbow-to-elbow with other diners. So if you need personal space, this might not be your vibe. But it gave total Japan vibes in the best way. You order via QR code, there's a self-serve water station, and food came out lightning fast--like, full sets and apps in under 25 minutes. The hostess was kind and welcoming, despite the busyness. That said, the place fills fast, so go early if you want to avoid a wait. It's strictly first-come, first-served. Absolutely coming back. The noodles were next-level. The portions were generous. The price? Honestly unmatched for the quality. If you're cool with tight seating and want some of the best udon in Brooklyn--this place delivers. Just don't come with a big group or a need for elbow room.

    Great udon, very fresh and delicious. The flavors are very good, i would recommend this place!

    Uzaku Kyuri is so damn good. This place is still as good as the first time I came here. But unfortunately the first review I made didn't upload the pictures. Niku Oroshi Bukkake Udon is so nice and savory. Goma Tsuke udon is fresh tasting and my wife likes it.

    I've been curious to try Don Udon on Park Place for quite some time, and I after a failed attempt due to them being packed, I was able to score a seat for an early Tuesday dinner. The space is cozy (read: small), with seating for 10 people or so. Most seats are along the counter surrounding the cooking station, and a couple of seats are facing the front window overlooking the street The decor is minimalist, relaxed, and welcoming, with little interesting details like Japanese masks, vases, a puppet, a Gundam head adding a personal touch. Service is very quick: you place your order/pay/tip via your phone, and the food arrives almost immediately. Prices are reasonable for the quality - most bowls run $17-20, which feels fair given the portion sizes and freshness. They also have kids udon, which is nice. Their house-made udon noodles have a perfect chewy, bouncy texture; a pleasure to eat. For appetizer, I had the Takowasa/raw octopus, which was excellent: tasty and chewy, with pickled veggies providing a nice crunch to balance the pleasantly chewy texture of the octopus. For udon I had the seafood-based Asari Udon: the broth was delicate but flavorful, and the clams complemented the udon texture perfectly. I loved this dish! Only downsides: it gets packed during peak hours, and they don't take reservations. Pro tip: go early (before 6pm) or late (after 8:30pm) to avoid the worst of the wait times.

    We wanted a quick meal, but the food took forever. I mean, it's not fast food, but all the food items sold here are from frozen food that you can easily prepare at home, I don't know why it took them so long. The server was the only person serving and he wasn't friendly.

    Cold niku udon
    Lauren C.

    Interior is designed similar to a traditional izakaya restaurant where the menu is relatively simple and straightforward. The udon has a nice bouncy texture and was quite refreshing. Tmmy friend and I agreed that the cold udon was better than the hot one in terms of flavor and noodle texture. The price is a bit on the higher end compared to its quantity, so perhaps a little larger potion of udon or niku would make it more worth it. Highly recommend this place if you're craving a simple yet delicious bowl of udon.

    Cute new udon spot in the neighborhood with people constantly lining up. They have wooden seats out front labeled 1,2,3,4 and so on and that's where you wait for your turn. The line moves fast as it's a no frills udon spot and the food comes quickly. The broth was unique, with bits of yuzu adding an interesting touch. The udon noodles were thick and chewy. Great addition to the crown heights neighborhood

I got mild spiciness for the beef brisket noodle and thought that was good enough for me (I can't handle spicy). My husband got no spicy and for me that felt very bland, though he liked it. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful. The coconut lava balls were crispy on the outside and had dripping coconut sago inside. Since we had so many combo meals from B's to C's, I was also able to try out the wings, the rice cake and sausage - I liked the sausage the best. For the drinks, my favorite was the passion fruit sparkling juice. We also ordered the braised assorted meats where my favorite was the pig intestines and the dumpling in spicy oil which was also good- not very spicy. The dumplings have shrimp it in - it's not on the menu but thought you should know.

I've tried the fish maw soup rice noodles, and the tom yum soup noodles - both have good broth, but the tom yum was spicy and hot in temperature, so it was hard to eat it quickly. My mom tried the Chicken Fish Maw soup noodles and thought the chicken was not of the best quality, so I'd avoid that in the future. They have set meals that come with a side and drink, but those limit you to three options. I got sold on buying the gift cards to maximize spend, so I have a few more visits. I'm looking forward to trying the dry noodles because summer is just around the corner!

The broth was incredibly flavorful, the steak was cooked perfectly, the egg was beautifully seasoned, and the shoestring potatoes added such a great crunch.

I can't get enough of them. With that said, their beef brisket and noodles are no slouches. That's why I got a bowl of Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodle Soup to be able to taste everything I enjoy the most here. I'll be back asap. Btw, buy the wontons frozen and enjoy them at home.
