Wasn't mind-blowing but I think this place was alright! They were out of a drink we wanted to try, unfortunately, so we had the seafood yaki udon, the tempura + cold udon, and the chicken karaage all to share. The seafood yaki udon tasted great - the sauce is simmered long enough for the seafood flavours to really infuse into the sauce - but the udon was overcooked. The tempura was decent and the cold udon was nice - cooked just right, so that it was chewy. The chicken karaage was nice - crispy on the outside, succulent and juicy on the inside - and the aioli it was served with was nice. All in all it was a solid meal, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

This was my first meal in Toronto after seeing it on a buzzfeed video. I got the baked cheese udon. It was sooooo good but definitely not for those who are lactose or allergic to milk. I tried to make it at home but it was no where near as good. I wish they had more tables because we sat at the bar and it was a little cramped and uncomfortable. But at least the bar had an outlet so that i could charge my phone, so that was nice. read more

The udon DOES taste different here. It should since the chef was sent to Japan to learn the fine culinary arts of making and serving udon. The meal was off to a promising start with the deep-fried corn kaki-age (hot and crunchy) and the smoked salmon with parsnip puree (hint of smokiness). It really helped whet the appetite for the udon bowls. I decided to keep with the more traditional side of the menu and try the mentai ankake udon. This consisted of a spoonful of mentaiko (marinated roe of pollock or cod), ginger, wakame, and green onions sitting on top of a pile of udon. The server would come by to pour this thick transparent soup into the bowl and you are asked to mix the roe with the soup to evenly diffuse it. Thus every bite of udon is coated with roe and soup. I found it an interesting udon experience and enjoyed the slithery texture and the firm udon noodles. I also had bites of the curry udon and spicy pork udon from my tablemate's bowls and they were also quite nice. I would like to come back and sample more of the traditional udon offerings they have here before I venture over to the fusion side of the menu. Ultimately, I feel like the prices and variety of the udon bowls almost invite someone like me to have two bowls in one sitting which I may do next time! Bahahaha. read more

MeNami - Mentai ankake udon - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Made a reservation as recommended by other yelp reviews, and glad I did! This place was busy for a Wednesday night! Our group ordered the popular dishes- salmon cream udon, baked udon and the black sesame udon. The sauce of the salmon cream udon tasted a bit like alfredo sauce. The salmon itself was nothing too special. The black sesame was sweet, but not too sweet. The black sesame udon was my favourite out of all three. Definitely need to be a fan of black sesame in order to enjoy this dish. The baked udon is good, but similar to what others have said, it is VERY filling and VERY cheesy. Only order it if you really, really like cheese! We also ordered the chicken kara-age, which was pretty average for fried chicken.. nothing really stood out about it. Its still good though. In addition, we ordered the corn kaki-age, which was really tasty and different from how I'm used to eating corn. Its a good change and worth trying, especially since its only $5! read more

Good vibes out on the patio, great people watching the karaoke place next door! Surprisingly really good cocktails. Dreaming Pikachu Returns is pretty good. We also got some sake flights, which took quite awhile since someone turned off the sake machine (according to our waiter). Because of the wait, we got a complimentary corn kaki-age, which was delicious. Quite understaffed but overall decent service and drinks. Would come back again. read more

First time here with my friends and it was amazing. We got the Nagasaki, oven baked, and and the udon with curry sauce and mashed potato on top (I forgot the name of it). We also got an appetizer to share, the corn kaki-age, and it was amazing! I wish we could have had more of that. The Nagasaki udon was a soup based udon with a little bit of spice, with assorted seafood. The oven baked udon is basically a loaded mashed potatoes but substitute the mashed potato with udon. It gets very heavy about half way through. The curry mashed potato udon was definitely my favourite one out of the three. The curry was amazing, and mixed with the mashed potato was just mind blowing. It became a sweet whipped curry type of sauce. I was debating whether to get the Nagasaki (because a fellow yelper highly recommended it) and the mashed potato one (since curry and mashed potatoes are two of my favourite foods) and I definitely regretted not getting the mashed potato udon. If I ever go back I would definitely get the mashed potato one, and I recommend everyone to try that one. The wait was about 20 minutes on a Saturday night, which isn't bad at all for such a popular restaurant. We also each got a cocktail, the guns and roses, yuzu cocktail and a new cocktail they just introduced that wasn't on the menu. All three were amazing and looked absolutely beautiful. read more

I was super excited to go to MeNami cause I prefer udon over ramen. Since MeNami specializes in udon, I had my expectations set pretty high. The udon according to other Yelpers is supposed to be "handmade" but I honestly couldn't tell the difference if it was actually handmade or from the package. I've been to other udon shops internationally, and the quality of handmade udon is unmatched by packaged udon (-1 star). MeNami has 3 types of udon: soup udon (left side of menu), cold udon (top right), and baked udon (bottom right). The soup and cold udon is pretty standard and the same that you would see at any Japanese restaurant. One soup udon of note is the curry udon which my friend had and it smelled delicious. The baked udon is more unique and I would definitely try one these. My friend ordered the salmon cream and I had the black sesame. Between the two, I actually prefer the salmon cream over the black sesame. Black sesame is definitely more unique and worth the try, but its a little on the sweet side for me. I would recommend trying the salmon cream as it was just pure creamy deliciousness infused with salmon! We also ordered a few tapas (beef tataki, salmon tartare, albacore tataki) - all very standard Han Ba Tang portions, quality, and taste. The salmon tartare is on the smaller side though, so order some other tapas if your ordering it. Service is prompt, attentive, and friendly and it's super easy to make reservations by phone. If it's the winter, make a request to sit in the back of the restaurant since the tables at the front can get quite cold when the doors open. I think menu items are reasonably priced. Overall, it's a good restaurant and worth the try. I would come back if my friends wanted to try it, but there's so many restaurants in Toronto that I would probably choose trying a new restaurant than coming back. read more

New trendy spot in NY. It's very flashy but not super snobby. When I called to make reservations for two (not allowed actually, but be 5 or more I believe), the person on the other end was really nice and gave me tips of when they get super busy and when it's not. So I decided to get there at 5:30pm on Friday evening (he was right, got seated immediately) and i ordered the corn ball app and the kake udon because it seemed so authentic and traditional. I was really happy with my udon dish (the corn app was a not as crispy as it looked though). The udon was chewy and the broth was delightful and not too salty. My friends udon, however, wasn't as good. She ordered the cream-based udon and after its cooking process, the udon became too soft to eat. I think, though, if you come, go for traditional rather than adventurous (fusion dishes) read more

MeNami is one of my favorite North York spots. The corn kakiage are consistently amazing, and pair extremely well with the honey mayo dipping sauce. Smoked salmon with parsnip sauce is also an excellent appetizer (I'd give it points over the tuna tataki). The curry udon with shrimp tempura is also exceptional: a very flavorful curry, tender udon, and tempura that remains crisp to the last bite. I've tried a couple of the sake options but keep coming back to the cocktails -- especially the Japanese Whisky Sour and the Black Sesame. They are some of the best I've had anywhere in the city. I'll keep coming back! read more

We went on new years eve and we really loved the udon there. The portions were really filling. We ordered 2 udons and a tapa between 2 people: Spicy salmon tartare - which was DElicious Mentai ankake udon - extremely thick soup base, really unique taste Seafood yaki udon - pretty simple but tasteful soup broth Lookiing forward to going back one day to try their cheese baked udon and corn kaki-age! read more

This is a hipster korean udon and sake bar. It's a fairly busy restaurant and service isn't great. They are slow at first but once you wave them down to put in your order, the food is quick to arrive. We ordered: - Tako Wasabi - we always order this when it's on a menu. It was very fresh with the right amount of wasabi - Corn Kaki-age - recommended a lot on yelp so we decided to order it. So simple, but crisp was perfect and paired with the perfect honey mayo dip. I could like that dish up - Black sesame udon - my bf was feeling adventurous but he liked it. He felt like he was eating the chinese black sesame dessert. - Curry shrimp udon - nothing bad to say about it! The udon was thick and chewy and tasted like it was homemade. The next time we visit, we will try the basic plain udons! read more

I'm a big fan of Udon!!! I'm very happy to find a restaurant specialized in making Udon. And it's in uptown instead of downtown lol Located on Yonge st close to Finch, MeNami is on the corner of Holmes Ave with a quite unique door that you will never miss. I made a reservation three days before for six people. We've been given to a nice window view seat,Lucky:) The appetizers taste good and the price is ok in terms of the portion. The Corn Kaki-age is a must try. I like the crunchy deep fried corn with their sweet mayo. Tako Wasa is a very summer dish with a very refreshing wasabi flavour. I'll say if more wasabi will be even better. Chicken Kara-age is average. Spicy salmon is my least favourite. The texture of the salmon is not bad but the spicy flavour kind of overcomes the fish taste itself. Their Udon is awwwwewsome!!! Different from frozen udon, the texture of the fresh made udon is chewy and firm. Nice and perfect!My order is Curry Udon with Shrimp Tempura. I like the strong taste of Japanese curry base, with freshly deep fried shrimp. Dipping the tempura into the curry taste even better. Their Spicy Cold Udon is definitely perfect for summer time. Not that spicy but quite refreshing flavour is very appetizing. Right, you are able to find some popular Japanese beer like Asahi. Their House Sake is not bad. read more

Frozen vs fresh udon. Age old question like butter vs margarine. Now I've had udon many times before. Typically it's the frozen variety that you can get at any asian supermarket and I have to admit they are very good. Does making it fresh as MeNami does make it better than the frozen variety as Menami claims? One way to find out! Had the udon with tempura as I wanted to try the udon with the brooth without too many flavours to really try the udon. The udon definitely had a nice bite to it, not soggy and bit firm. The brooth was excellent if a bit too salty but nice flavour and matched the udon nicely. Tempura was nice, nothing spectacular. The menu had a lot of other dishes that sound very good. This place looks like they thought about the menu and the dishes complement the feel and look of the restaurant. So even if udon doesn't do much for you, there are lots of other dishes to try. So is fresh udon better than frozen? Looks like I'll have to go back many times to be sure ;) Oh...and the music is da bomb, love it. read more

Nothing special with the udon. Totally overrated. The one I got came with a very rich cream sauce. All I could taste was cream nothing else. The cold udon was acceptable. The restaurant is not small but there's a lot of echo when we sat inside. Only a few tables available outside at the patio. Very difficult to hear from just across a small table. We ordered 2 bowls and a beer and the server forgot about the beer......I'm not impressed and will not return nor recommend this restaurant. read more

I went to Menami for an early dinner with a friend, food is pretty on point but maybe a little too heavy for me. I wanted some protein in my noodles so I got the salmon cream udon which was super delicious, it was a little to garlicky for me (and I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't mentioned in the menu), but I can see how it would be a hit with garlic fans. My friend ordered the potato cream udon which she also enjoyed very much, I took a taste out of it, and while I did like it, I think I liked what I ordered much much more despite hers being a more popular dish. Hoping to return to try some of the tapas and non noodle dishes! read more

Finally got to try this place out! And from my first experience they really know how to make a very tasty bowl of udon. Definitely and probably my most favorite place to get Udon noodles. Even though I only tried one of their udon bowls, it was a wonderful first time experience and wish I could try more items on their menu! I had gotten the the Yaki udon, I thought it came as a creamy sauce but it came in a soup! But that's ok because the soup udon was very tasty! Good portion and the texture of the udon was made so well! It wasn't overcooked where its too soft and mushy. It had a nice chewy texture and a litte firmness in the noodle. (Yes hard to explain the experience so just bare with me). I also had ordered a side of Karage as well. The karage was very good as well as all the chicken pieces were nicely fried but also very juicy. Interesting how the chicken karage pieces all came in balls, very round. Normally alot of times at other places karage just comes in some sort of shape. But here it is served rounded. Very funny to see but tasted wonderful. Definitely want to come back again to try other things on the menu. Can't wait until my next visit. read more

I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. It was pretty busy but I made reservations so we were seated right away. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and unique decor. I really enjoyed the food and service. Corn Kaki-age ($5) - this was amazing. We got one order to share among three people. It was so crispy and paired well with the honey butter mayo. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second serving. The Original Tsuke Udon ($7.95) - this dish was alright. Granted that it is the original flavour, I was still expecting something delicious. The udon was perfectly cooked, but the dipping sauce was just okay. Nothing special, I wouldn't get it again. Curry Udon with Shrimp Tempura ($11) - I really enjoyed this dish. Perfectly cooked udon paired with a tasty mild curry sauce. The waitress recommended for the tempura to be dipped in the sauce which actually turned out to be delicious. Black Sesame Puree Udon with Beef ($15) - I was most looking forward to this. Black sesame sauce with udon, spinach and beef is such a unique combination but it really works. The flavour is sweeter than I usually care for but I didn't mind because it was quite delicious. read more

Came here for a quick bite after some much needed soup after a Crazy Night of Booze filled Karoke. Definitely needed something soupy and ran into this place with my trusty Yelp app. The decor and set up of this restaurant is definitely a must see and a lot better than the previous 3 restaurants that used to be here. They have a wide variety of Sake, Soju, and any other liqour your heart desires. I would have tried 2 or 3 sakes but I was waaayy to hungover to keep drinking but hey..thats the way to cure a hangover right? Haha! Anyways the service was great and the food was even better. I like open concept kitchen and you can see the chefs cooking right in front you. I guess they cannot practice the "5 second rule" here...haha! I ordered the beef udon and it was delicious. The protein to carb ratio a.k.a. meat to noodle ratio was perfect and I left feeling satisfied. We also ordered the beef sashimi and tuna tataki, pork udon, and curry udon and all was delicious. I will definitely be coming back for some more booze and udon next time. read more

MeNami is known for their house-made authentic Japanese udon noodles. What separates freshly made udon from frozen is the firm texture it holds and so it is no wonder that the process of making udon requires professional skills and great attention to detail. Not only does MeNami serve udon dishes, they also offers a tapas menu, rice dishes, as well as large shareable items for two. The restaurant has a great selection of Japanese sake, beer, Korean alcohol, and not to mention they have sake on draft. There is also a wide variety of sake-based cocktails on their menu. Highlights: Smoked Salmon with Parsnip Sauce Convention Roasted Pork Belly Corn Kaki-Age Kake Udon with Chicken Thigh Tempura Mentaiko Cream Sauce Udon The Mentaiko Cream Sauce Udon was my absolute favourite dish of the night! The sauce was creamy which made the noodles very silky and delicious. I couldn't taste the mentaiko and I wasn't sure if I should be able to taste it or not, but regardless these noodles were fabulous! I especially loved how well the udon paired with the cream sauce and I don't think anyone would have thought that these ingredients combined would create such an amazing dish. I loved how all the dishes were unique and different from regular Japanese dishes you're used to. I highly recommend this restaurant because you get the best quality food at such an affordable price. Even if you're just looking for a nice Asian bar to hang out at, MeNami has everything you need! read more

Cute little izakaya-esque place in North York. I really like the decor of this place. Really makes it feel like a young and happening place. The tables were a bit small and cramped but the service was alright. From the tapas menu we had the chicken Kara-age: I don't recommend this because it's not really what you would expect. It's more like a chicken meat ball with some spices and not fried chicken pieces. And it doesn't come with the usual mayo sauce which is the best part!! The corn kaki-age was a hit! The fried crispy sweet corn was a crunchy treat and with the mayo sauce tastes like cream corn with a great crunchy kick. The roasted pork belly was meh. I mean it tastes good because it's fatty and it has some spices on it but for the price it only comes with 7 pieces, it's just not worth it. I think most people come for the different variety of udon dishes they have here. I tried the curry udon with tempura shrimp, which I really liked. I think the udon in the curry sauce was a great combo. Dipping the crunchy tempura shrimp in the curry sauce was also delish! It also comes with a yam tempura, my fav! Although I thought the batter was a bit thick. Overall great atmosphere, great service. Come only if you like some udon fusion dishes. The tapas were okay but I think we ordered them to help fill our stomachs cause all the dishes were on the small side. Defly come back! read more

Went here to satisfy a Japanese food craving with my daughter and we were both blown away. The place was already filling up but we went early, and we were glad we did. We chose a few tapas to share - the corn kakiage, seaweed salad, the seared tuna, the tonkastsu and a curry udon. Our favourites were the seared tuna and the udon - the seared tuna was so safe and deliciously seasoned. The udon was awesome - the curry sauce was so tasty and the tempura shrimp And veggies were a great addition. Service was fast - maybe a little too fast actually! We would order courses and pace our food next time. We will be back - it was a 10! read more

A great place to have a few drinks and enjoy good Asian food. Love the cozy ambiance and great service.

MeNami always seem to be packed, as it was on this Saturday night. As we were but a pair, luckily there was no wait for bar seats. We didn't mind. The restaurant has a relaxed ambience. The dimmed lights and decor keep the place casual. Although service was slow tonight, the staff were always preoccupied with something. We ordered : Fried okra, beef tataki, baked udon and their special, potato cream udon. Fried okra = 5/10. Not really flavoured, the okra was tempura-ized. It came out very hot. It's not anything special, but we like okra. Beef tataki = 9/10. garnished with green and white onions, the tataki was drizzled in a mildly sweet & spicy sauce. The flavour and the texture of this was the best I've had so far. Baked udon = n/a I only had a bite of this, as seafood is not my jam. I thought it was good. My friend is a big seafood lover and recommends this. Cheesy and rich in flavour, it will fill you up. Potato cream udon = 8/10. Interesting combination of creamy mashed potatoes on top, and "spicy" curry underneath. I found this delicious, but can see that it's not for everyone. This dish came out cooled. I didn't realized that there was broccoli in the bowl until I reached the bottom. MeNami has a creative twists suitable for many udon lovers. Fitting for a group of friends or a date, this is a great place to go. Just remember to make reservations. read more

This place just opened up and we came here to celebrate because we used to always go to the restaurants that used to exist at this location. We had a great time! Interior design is beautiful! I would recommend making efforts to make it s bit cozier for the winter but otherwise it's gorgeous. Music was AMAZING. The food options are interesting and all tasted great (from what we had). We shared the curry shrimp tempura dish and the spicy seafood soup bowl for two. It was huge! It came with a mini stove for our table and every bit of soup tasted fresh. Very delicious. All udon noodles are made in house and fresh. They had a bunch of great beers on tap as well as Korean drinks and delicious cocktails. Kevin the head chef came up to us and offered a complimentary dessert and it was amazing. Friend sweet corn cakes and honey butter dipping sauce was delicious! Overall we had a great time. Food service and music were all amazing, and overall atmosphere was great. Things I would recommend looking into to improve are menu options but Kevin the head chef even specifically told us he was always working on expanding the menu so it's no concern.

"This will be one of my go to spots!" What time we arrived/Wait time? I've been here a bunch of times. I love going during lunch time because it's less busy and no wait usually. At night it is usually packed especially on the weekend. Atmosphere? I know the owner actually and I really admire her taste. She also owns "Han Ba Tang" down the street at yonge and sheppard and that place has a unique interior as well. It is so fun and very rustic yet modern! I love the patio and enjoy walking in every time. There is so much detail everywhere! Service/Staff? The staff is nice. They are always very sweet and attentive. They give you what you need and leave you alone, which is what I prefer rather than people always asking if I need something. Food/Menu? Honestly, I have liked every single thing I've ever ordered here. I've ordered almost half the menu but my favourites would have to include the korokke, the beef tartare, the cream udon, and the salt/peppered squid. Everything is fantassssstic!

Finally fulfilled my foodie dreams!! I saw this on food insider and was so sad it is located all the way in Toronto. Luckily my flight was extremely delayed and I had to a stay in Toronto one night on my way to Quebec City. I guess it was bad luck or maybe just fate. Anyway I took advantage of this opportunity and tried the udon I saw in the video both the bacon cheese one and the potato curry did NOT DISAPPOINT! Tasted how I always imagined. Although I wasn't expecting the potato cream to be cold and slightly sweet. All the flavors complimented each other and were very filling/satisfying. The karage is great too but beware it's a hot flavor juice water gun that will burn you wherever it squirts. I love how decently priced it is. The cheesy one - $15CA and the potato one- $13CA. Nice wait staff although the girls were wearing very short skirts or shorts I don't know how they weren't freezing their tatties off. Canadian blood maybe?

Came here for dinner - thank goodness for reservations, because on a Friday night, it was totally packed! In fact, our table by the door was literally totally eclipsed by the hordes of hungry people waiting by the doorway. I almost feel bad then, that they could look at the food coming to our table yet not able to actually eat anything. Eye hungry? We ordered the corn kaki-age, smoked salmon with parsnip sauce, mentaiko cream sauce udon, and the oven baked udon. Though the fried corn was relatively tasty, I think I was a little disappointed in the honey butter dipping sauce. After eating my weight in honey butter Calbee, I was expecting the corn to taste exactly like that, but somehow it was a little less flavourful. Maybe it's the MSG in the chips that makes the difference? It still wasn't bad though. The smoked salmon was a pleasant surprise in that it was literally smoked salmon - as in sashimi salmon that's been blow-torched, aburi-style. The mentaiko udon was more creamy than mentaiko-y; which completely lost its mentaiko flavour once poked off its basil leaf and mixed in with the noodles and sauce. Next time I'll be more careful and make sure to scoop up even ratios with the noodles. Mmm, udon... read more

I visited MeNami close to 4PM on a Sunday so there was no wait and we were able to get a seat by the window immediately. To share amongst two, we ordered the Kitsune udon, chicken karaage, and spicy salmon tartar. The udon was delicious and I loved the fried tofu which was soaked up in the flavourful soup base. The chicken karaage had a crispy, light batter - very tasty. The spicy salmon tartar, served with chips, had a pretty generous portion of salmon and we quite enjoyed this as well. Overall, I had a great experience at MeNami and will be back for more udon and appetizers! read more

With so many aspiring places to become the next 'ramen' joint, MeNami really brings udon to the culinary light. It was good, though not amazing. There are many different combinations though, the one I had was not amazing. The soup was very salty and tasted like salt and soy sauce. My fiance definitely picked the better main dish, the spicy pork udon. It was delicious and she was drinking the soup, something very unusual for her behaviour. Our favourite dish between the both of us was definitely the chicken karage that was super crispy and delicious. I do wish the sauce that they brought it with was spicy. Definitely needed a kick! read more
