3.5 rounding up to 4. Service was good and the ambiance was cute. I got the curry udon and it was good, but the broth itself was very oily and I'm not sure why. It had a slightly sweet aftertaste which I was not the biggest fan of.
Homemade udon is pretty good but the sauce is too sour. Spicy tonkatsu ramen is normal. Decor is interesting but very packed. Service can be better if not that busy.
Our server was so attentive. Noticed when I accidentally dropped the chopsticks and immediately replaced them without me asking. The food was delicious. Massive portions and flavorful. Really liked that matcha. Strong, smooth and not so bitter. The decor is very Japanese themed as well. You can definitely bring friends and family that you want to impress here. Solid spot.
We were hungry on our way to prospect park and stopped here for a late lunch around 2pm. There were only around 3 parties dining so we were immediately seated. Since they have handmade noodles, we ordered the karaage ramen and Niku udon. While the texture of the noodles were great and broth not too salty (which is good), the protein toppings were just OK. The beef in the Niku udon was overcooked so texture was springy and tough. Karaage in the ramen felt greasy and breading hard rather than crispy. Overall, the dishes were just OK for how much they costed. Staff was courteous, interior design was cool, and their bowls are beautifully shaped.
Solid spot right by Barclays Center! I highly recommend their udon, since that's what they're known for. I DONT recommend the Salmon Don. It was very plain and it came with flavorless seaweed. It comes with a small dish of dipping soy sauce. While the portion size was plentiful, it was mostly tasteless. On the other hand, I enjoyed the apps! The Yakitori Skewers, especially, were soft and melted in my mouth! The Salmon Tartare and Vegetable Tempura were also good. Attentive + kind staff. Plenty of seating. Overall, great, convenient spot for a pre-Barclays meal.
I came into Muteki Udon a bit skeptical since the prices initially felt on the higher side, but that quickly changed once the bowl arrived. The portion size lined up with the cost, and more importantly, the quality delivered. Every sip of the broth and every slurp of the udon made it clear this was a thoughtfully prepared dish. I went with the niku udon on recommendation and it lived up to it. The flavor was rich and satisfying, and the quality of the meat really stood out. What really put things into perspective was visiting Raku shortly after. At a similar price point, the difference in portion, flavor, and quality of ingredients was noticeable. Muteki felt more filling and more complete as a meal. I left genuinely happy with the experience and would definitely come back to try more of their udon options.
We ordered take out from this place. The udons were in paper bowls while the soups came in plastic bowls. The paper bowls were sturdy as there was no leakage of soup when poured in. It was definitely on the more expensive side as it was 26 dollars for a bowl of the Nikki udon on DoorDash but 25 on their website. I thought the udon was bouncy. I wish there was more udon. There was a lot of the beef brisket. If there was an option for a bit more udon and a bit less brisket for a few dollars less then I think it would be perfect.
The curry udon's curry was a weird in between texture - too thick to be soup, too thin to really be curry. It was quite unconventional in several other ways - there were bell peppers in it (?!), it was spicy... this is not your traditional udon bowl. There was VERY little meat in my udon, and when you're paying almost $30 for a bowl of noodles, you expect to get more than a few thin little slivers of beef. The tempura was fried too thickly to let the ingredient shine, and the pieces were rather flavorless. The cherry on top: the bathroom area smells of sewage, similar to how the subway system smells on a bad day. This was not a good experience.
I had a major udon craving and ordered a couple of dishes for delivery. Their portions are huge. They really don't skimp on the size or quality for the price. I was obsessed with the cold salmon ikura udon, which came with chewy al dente matcha udon noodles and fresh, generous pieces of raw salmon. This was a great umami dish where all the textures and flavors came together wonderfully. It's perfect for summer when you want something refreshing and not too heavy, but you can't go wrong with ordering it any time of the year. The yakuzen curry udon was also good, but I prefer my Japanese curry a bit sweet and this leaned more in the salty-savory lane. The noodles also weren't as al dente as I expected after my salmon udon, but maybe that was a byproduct of getting delivery and needing to reheat this dish with everything together.
I would give this spot a 3.5 stars. We arrived on a weekend afternoon and the place was quite empty except for another table. They're known for their udon so we tried two udon dishes. One Niku udon which comes with broth, and the other is mentaiko udon which is warm but no broth. Service was okay but didn't stand out to me. They didn't spot by and check on us or refill our waters. I liked how they served water with lemon. I think this price was quite pricey as most of the udon dishes were about $25 and upwards. Their ramen dishes are a little cheaper at $20 upwards. I do think the portion size was good but should be expected as they're charging an hefty price. The Niku udon was okay, nothing spectacular but was decent. Again, nothing really stood out to me. There was a good amount of fatty beef, an onsen egg, and green onions. The mentaiko udon was tangy and sour. There wasn't much of a mentaiko flavor. It also had the same fatty beef. Again, was just okay and in fact, I preferred the Niku udon more. Overall: It's decent udon but nothing amazing and felt quite pricy for what it is. There are other restaurants that make their noodles in house and not charging these prices.
Made reservations here before heading to Barclays, and I'm so glad I found this place! We started with the Karaage fried chicken and cheeseburger gyoza.. absolutely delicious! For drinks, we tried the rose sparkling water, which honestly tasted just like a rose smells like lol hard to explain, but so good! Definitely a must try. We also had the Takara Okinawa, which was not only stunning but also super fruity and refreshing. For entrees, my boyfriend had the Tori Karaage Don and loved it, while I ordered the Volcano Miso Ramen.. the broth was incredible, the pork and noodles were amazing as well . Everything we tried was delicious. I'll definitely be coming back!
I love udon and was excited to check this place out, but left feeling fairly underwhelmed. It's not that the food is bad, it's perfectly nice and the ingredients are fresh. I got to try the tempura udon which came out looking very beautiful -- two pieces of shrimp and a buncha vegetables plus this big ol bowl of udon with fresh minced ginger and other spices. But flavor wise it didn't stand out particularly to me. Certainly a step above your average Japanese spot but for its wildly inflated price (on one hand, I get it, if Ramen places can get away with prices like this why not udon. But on the other hand, ouch) I'm not sure it lives up to it. My friend got the curry udon which we agreed was nice but nothing to write home about. I want this place to succeed because I love Udon and it was a perfectly nice experience, but it'll be a while before I go back.
I've gotten takeout from here a couple times and it's always really delicious. My favorite dishes have been the cream udon and yuzu shio ramen. Cream udon is not for everyone but I really liked the flavor, and the ramen was just the best balance of citrusy and savory with a little kick, great toppings and tender meat. The seaweed salad was so different from what I'm used to, it uses wide flat seaweed leaves and has a subtle flavor with some added texture from cucumbers and ribbons of radish. The karaage was also good, pretty standard. I just appreciate that this spot is consistently yummy and has a diverse menu, a little pricey but worth it I'd say. read more
Noodles were very oily but still yummy and flavorful. Dessert was soybean and delicious and decent size to share! However, Service was one of the worst I've ever been too, for a formal restaurant, service was literally non existent and did not tend to to us at any point, and barely even gave us menus or took or orders unless we asked multiple times after waiting a long time already. read more
I stopped by for a late lunch with a friend and was welcomed into a little Japanese oasis. I loved the ambiance and decor of the place including their handmade bowls and plates, which are individually made by the owner --wow. To start off, we had the Cheeseburger Dumplings ($12), which was so unique. We've never had something like this and they executed it really well. The dumplings were filled with meat and fried with a skirt. The cheese part was topped over it like a melty dressing, so a delicious and special dish here. Plus, it had a side salad to balance all the grease here. For the entrees, we had to get the udon and shared the Niku Udon ($25) and Salmon Ikura Udon ($30). It was a nice combo between a hot and cold udon. The Niku was your classic udon bowl filled with plenty of beef and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory for a warm and comforting meal. On the other hand, the salmon udon was quite unique with matcha udon and fresh salmon. There is a dashi to pour and mix into the noodles, which still gave it flavor and the slurp you want in a udon. Both were so great in its own way. Even their ramen also looked great, but I love all noodles. Definitely a great spot to dine near Barclays Center. Love to come back whenever I'm in the area again. The udon dishes are on the pricier side, but they're huge bowls. read more

This review is for dinner. 100% come for the noodles - I was pleasantly surprised by just how good these dishes were, rivaling or even better than what you might find in Manhattan. I'll definitely be back. With that said, I would skip the apps and dessert. They were underwhelming. Ambiance is casual. Restaurant is a decent size and could fit larger-ish groups. Food: the star(s) of the show are the ramens and especially udon dishes. If I had to choose, I would do the udon over the ramen because I preferred the noodles more. But both were good. -Niku Udon: bouncy doughy thick noodles, rich flavorful broth, lots of meat (though some pieces were quite fatty). Would get again. -Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: has some heat to it, but not too spicy. Similar to the above: rich flavorful broth, noodles perfect consistency. Would get again. -Yasai Esi Tempura Udon: bouncy doughy noodles, lighter broth. Comes with sooo much udon on the side! Would get again. For apps, Karaage Chicken was good and I'd order again (what you'd except from this dish). Flavorful, crunchy, and not greasy. Would skip on the Seaweed Salad and Udon Cracker with Salmon Tartare. Muteki Pudding wasn't bad, but I would ask for minimal soy bean powder. read more

When it's really hot outside, I love a good bowl of udon. Hot or cold, I'll take them both! My friend and I shared cheeseburger gyoza (so unique), beef udon and salmon matcha udon. Everything was tasty and I loved the unique bowls which are apparently hand crafted by the owner. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area read more

If you're looking for a place to eat before a show at Barclay's center, I recommend this new spot! Got a reservation for 2 on the day-of and was seated immediately. It got a lot busier as we were leaving so definitely get a reservation before arriving! Udon Cracker with Salmon Tartare - the plate looks a little chaotic but the salmon itself was tasty. Could have lived without the udon crackers imo and I wish they just gave us a bowl of tartare instead of four individual small bites! 4/5 Tonkotsu Ramen - very solid, not too salty! 4.5/5 I would come back to try the udon next time, it looked really good! read more

I ordered the below: Matcha Latte Shiranui Citrus Juice 100% Tempura Appetizer Udon Cracker with Salmon Tartare Yakitori Skewer (2 pcs) Niku Udon (Hot Broth) Salmon Don (Raw Salmon) Muteki Pudding Yuzu Sorbet The salmon tartare and chicken skewers were my favorite apps! The udon portion was massive and filled me up. The broth was slightly sweet, savory, and piping hot. The rice bowl had fresh quality salmon slices and lots of fresh veggies too. Don't sleep on their drinks and dessert too because the pudding was so creamy and the sorbet reminded me of Ralph's in the best way! I also really enjoyed the Matcha Latte. Service was pretty good considering they were super busy and only 2 waiters were working. I was pleasantly surprised! read more

Great addition to the area. I had the mushroom udon. It's comforting and the portions are massive. A nice mix of mushrooms-- from what I remember, some rehydrated shiitake, an oyster mushroom or two, enoki and a morel to top. It's also topped with fresh spinach, scallion and a lemon wedge which worked well to my surprise. The udon seems freshly made and has a chewy bite. Service is friendly and efficient. Also had an almost half bottle of sake which I found very reasonably priced-- 300 ml at $15. Overall, recommend if nearby for a cozy, udon fix. read more

I was craving something soupy on a cold night and found this udon spot walking distance from the place we are staying. We came in just in time to grab the last seat before there was a long wait! Highly recommend making reservations if you're planning to visit this spot! My partner and I shared taki karage and we absolutely fell in love with this dish. They used the fresh octopus tentacles so it was so tender and crunchy at the same time! My boyfriend ordered a curry udon and I ordered a classic tempura udon. I was a bit upset that they didn't mention in the menu that both our udons comes with lemon on it as a garnish so it kind of threw off the taste in my broth so I didn't enjoy my udon as much. The tempura was amazing though! As for my boyfriend's curry udon, we were able to remove the lemon in time before it soak so it was much better tasting than mine. This place would've gotten a 5 star for me but I would highly suggest they list all ingredients used in case of allergens! read more

Stumbled upon this place when we were in the area and wanted steaming hot food. What's better than hot soup noodles? We got both the udon and the ramen. Both were quite good, but I wish the tempura udon would come with a separate, more flavourful dip. The place is not huge but not crowded on a Sunday. Nice place to have a quick noodle fix. read more

Came here as a pre-meal before our omakase dinner because I wanted to try their pudding that I saw on TikTok. Restaurant is in downtown Brooklyn but you step into the world of Japan inside. We ordered a curry udon and the muteki pudding. The pudding definitely did not disappoint -- loved the soy bean powder flavor but the texture of the pudding could be smoother. The curry udon was good and very saucy. The drink menu here seems overpriced. The alcohol menu is about the same price as the soft drinks, which is unusual. Would love to come back for their pudding again and try the rest of the menu next time. read more

The food was solid. Everything was presented nicely and the service was wonderful. We had the fried tako karaage to start. It was tasty, but not crispy as I was expecting. My friend and I shared two udons, but in hindsight we should have tried types that were more different, as the two had the same sweet beef. We had the Niku Udon and the Mentaiko Cream udon. I think I expected the latter to be a little more distinct. Both were tasty, but they actually tasted very similar because the marinated beef was sweet and dominated the taste. It's a nice atmosphere, was pleasantly busy but not crowded (we went at 6:30 on a Wednesday without reservations and had no issue). read more

I got the tempura udon. It was def good.... But unfortunately raku has ruined all other udon for me! It was still yum tho w nice bouncy noodle texture and i love the freshness of the lemon and ginger in the broth. The tempura was very generous and i loved the variety of veggies that came w it. $10 for edamame tho is crazyyyyyy read more
We popped into this udon restaurant for a quick birthday lunch for our friend, and it welcomed us with warm arms on a cold Sunday afternoon. The first thing on the menu that immediately caught our attention was the udon crackers with salmon tartare. Each of us tried a different udon, ranging from the sukiyaki beef to the creamy mentaiko udon to the spicy curry option. All of them were very exceptional flavor wise, topped off by the black truffle edamame. Would definitely recommend coming here and I can't wait to be back to try more of the menu! read more

Hi Kenny, thank you so much for choosing to celebrate your friend’s…
Really enjoyed the food here! The menu had good variety- my partner and I started with the Edamame, Tofu Salad and the Cheeseburger Gyoza, which tastes exactly how you think it'll taste (really hearty and satisfying. We also shared the Ebi Tempura Udon, Yakuzen Curry Udon, and the Salmon Ikura Cold Udon. The Salmon Ikura udon was a standout dish- the fish tasted super fresh and the matcha udon had such a nice bouncy texture. The noodles are high quality. We felt the Ebi Tempura udon lacked a bit of umami, but overall would recommend Muteki to anyone who's looking for good udon in the city. read more

I had the sukiyaki udon. There was no wait and I went on a cold day so I was very happy to get a seat. There wasn't any wait when I came in. The udon itself was decent but the beef sukiyaki was a miss for me. I felt like there wasn't enough protein and the sauce was okay. I don't think the chili oil went will with the sukiyaki so I would ask them to put that on the side next time. Overall, I had a decent meal but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Was walking around prospect park looking for lunch in the area and we ended up walking over to this place. It was empty at opening on Saturday at noon but it is a very well decorated interior. The staff were still setting up so we did feel bad coming in right at opening. They took a while to serve us water and provide menus but it was clear they had quite a few tasks to still complete. I got a chicken katsu curry dish. It came out within 20 mins piping hot which was super fast. As for the meal itself, I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of curry that was quite savory, and it properly drenched the katsu chicken and the rice. I had quite an appetite before coming having just completed a run, and it was more than filling. I was hesitant on just getting the katsu chicken given that it was one of the cheapest items on the menu, but I had plenty of food still on my plate when I was full. I had asked them to pack it for me, and I had enough for lunch the next day. Quite worth its value. The indoors of the restaurant I'd very well maintained, including the single bathroom. Would come back if I'm ever in the area and do recommend the katsu chicken. read more

We had a reservation to Muteki Udon at 5:30 on a weekday but there were plenty of seating, both at a table and at the bar area. The service was nice but they did take an extremely long time getting/taking our bill. In terms of the udon, we got the tempura one. While the portions of the tempura itself were generous, there weren't a whole lot of udon noodles. I was left somewhat hungry afterwards and got through the noodles pretty quickly. The broth was interesting, not entirely sure how I felt about it but it wasn't bad per se. The temperature of the broth could've been hotter as it was somewhat lukewarm. Overall, it was slightly pricy and not the best udon of my life, but certainly worth coming back to. read more

This was a pleasure to stumble upon and pleasant surprise to experience. After getting a couple items from the KITH store across the street, I saw the word "Udon" and immediately know what was for lunch. Muteki Udon did not disappoint. I was visiting from out of town and enjoyed the food so much, that i saved the establishment on my google map so i could bring my fiancée back the next time im in the city. The service was nice and knowledgeable when i asked for recommendations. The establishment itself is nice and clean, perfect a solo lunch or an intimate meetup read more

The decor and atmosphere resembles ramen shops you'd find in Japan with Tori gates and a copy of a standing ramen shop. We came here for valentines and were happy all around. Loved all the intentional touches from the homemade ceramics to even the cozy bathroom. I got the niku udon and loved the broth and noodles. Also got a matcha latte and it was delicious! Quality was really felt in term of ingredients and really felt it in the price point. A little steep but can see this being a nice date spot. Can't wait to come back and try more of their udon! read more
The udon noodles had a great texture and were cooked perfectly. The soup bases were rich and flavorful, with well-developed layers of taste--clearly a lot of effort goes into them. The curry soup base, paired with a special cut of pork, was the best I've had and well worth the $27. The shrimp tempura udon was also excellent. I especially loved the variety of vegetable and root vegetable tempura, which included taro, sweet potato, mushroom, okra, and more. It's the most extensive tempura set I've seen in NYC at this price point. The only downside was the wait time. For a table of three, it took nearly 40 minutes from receiving our drinks to getting our food. This was at 1:30 PM when the restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but with only two chefs in the kitchen, the preparation process seemed slow. read more

We had an early weekday reservation and the restaurant was mostly empty. The inside is clean and spacious. We both ordered the tempura udon and the presentation of the food was nice.There was a generous portion of tempura and the tempura was nicely fried, and not oily at all. The broth came out warm, not hot, and I wish the noodles had a bit more of a chewy texture. I was full after the meal and although it's not my favorite udon place, I would come back! read more

What kind of beef is used for the Sukiyaki Don and is it extremely fatty?
We used marinated and thinly sliced beef brisket, While it does have some fat for flavor and tenderness, it is not extremely fatty.
