    7. Beef Udon
    Dona F.

    This is my first time having Udon. I walked in and was happy you can chose from a picture and give them the number. I chose the beef. I have to say I was totally grossed out. There was plenty of beef but it looked like pieces of limp fatty bacon and I emphasize fatty. The noodles were good. The soup has a beef bullion taste. I don't really know if this fatty meat is typical of udon but now I've tried it and I'm done.

    Reasonably priced udon and fast service. Sanuki Udon is a good spot to go to if you're pressed on time and don't want to spend too much. You pick out which udon you want and tell the counter staff and they make it in front of you within like 3 minutes since the udon is all already cooked and they just need to put in the sauce or broth. You can choose to get some tempura items like fried vegetables or katsu cutlets if you want while you move across the check out line. There are a good amount of tables and seating available and most people finish their meals pretty quickly so there shouldn't be much wait for a seat. The food is ok and reasonable for what you pay in Manhattan.

    A fast casual udon spot near NYU that's great for a quick meal. It's very organized inside where you grab a tray and first you order your udon or rice bowl and then you can take some sides. There were various tempura available to grab and you can see that they're constantly frying batches of fresh ones. On one side of the room there also a station to add scallion and dipping sauces for your tempura as well as some free tea. I got the pork udon with a side of the eggplant tempura. Everything was tasty and the udon felt very chewy and freshly made too. A great place for a lunch!

    Cute and convenient especially if you go to NYU. Sort of a self serve bar for the appetizers and you can pick which udon you want. My meal came up to ~$15.

    I came here Monday afternoon around 3pm to try the kake udon. The restaurant had lots of seating and had a great selection of food. I added shrimp tempura and zucchini tempura and they were pretty good! The total came out to around $17 + tip which wasn't too bad for the price. There's also dipping sauce that you can make as well as free tea & water which was a plus! The service was very fast and simple. This will definitely be my go-to restaurant if I need a quick hearty meal. Bathroom code is 0320.

    The staff was really friendly and they gave good beef portions for the beef udon, but I felt like the broth was bland and the chicken katsu was lukewarm and also soggy. I was a bit disappointed because I had this place saved on my list for so long and I came hungry too. The katsu sauce was very barbecue forward like A1 steak sauce which caught me off guard and wasn't my favorite. I gave them an extra star because they had complimentary onions, ginger, radish puree, and oolong tea. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating and the natural lighting from the windows was a nice touch. I don't think I'll be coming back here, but I'm still glad I tried it out.

    As an LA transplant, this place reminds me of Marugame. They both focus on udon and service in a semi self-serve cafeteria line format. However Sanuki's udon was just alright; great for a quick meal but nothing to write home about. I got the beef udon to try something more classic. The udon was generally chewy, but I wish the soup was more seasoned. I also wish the beef slices were more marinated and hoped for it to be thinner. I do appreciate how they have unlimited self-serve tempura crunch topping and green onions! For the other side dishes, the tempura was solid as the shrimp was pretty juicy. The eggplant and enoki mushroom were also pretty standard. Dipping sauces and water/oolong tea are all self-serve. Prices were very reasonable for NYC. There was a good amount of tables and staff were polite. While in the same format as Marugame, the udon components could not compare. Overall still pretty decent for a casual lunch spot!

    Closer to 4.5 than 4 stars. What a customizable and relatively affordable udon option! Heard about this place online and decided to check it out when I was in the area. First you pick your udon dish, then can customize it as much as you want, especially with tempura sides. There's an area with drinks and for you to customize any sauces you want too. The udon noodles were a standout to me - very chewy. The broth and meat I found to be just ok - but for the price point really not so bad. I liked the tempura shrimp, veggies, and mochi. The imitation crab was just ok. Free oolong tea here as well. Overall such a fun option in the area. It won't be the best quality food you've ever had, but this place understands that and isn't trying to be either,

    D. Curry Rice + Shrimp Tempura + Chicken Karaage
    Brian B.

    Very tasty fast-casual Japanese curry. The tempura shrimp were looking crispier than the katsu so I went shrimp and it was a solid choice. Sanuki Udon is a fine option if you're looking for a quick lunch around NYU.

    I came when they first opened, and this time I was shocked to see some bowls, like pork cutlet curry and beef udon, are now actually $1 cheaper...like who does that nowadays?! Plus, they offer free unlimited oolong tea! Huge bang for your buck and perfect for students. What really surprised me was they actually make udon with Japanese-imported wheat flour! *Beef Udon $14.50 A hot bowl of soup udon hit so hard on a chilly, rainy day. The rich and savory broth felt like a warm hug. The beef slices were tender and not overly fatty, and the udon noodles were super springy and chewy which is clearly different from the cheap frozen one. *Pork Cutlet Curry Udon $15.95 If you're craving something more filling, the curry udon comes with slices of katsu pork cutlet. There was definitely more fried batter than actual pork, but it was still tasty and paired really well with the curry. *Tempura - Mochi $2.25, Zucchini with Cheese $1.85, Japanese Yam $1.85, Eggplant $1.85 Most of their tempura ranges from $1.85 to $2.95 (with the soft-boiled egg on the higher end). The veggie ones were nothing special, but the mochi tempura was surprisingly good. I thought it'd be stale and hard after sitting on the counter for a while, but it was the opposite--the mochi inside was still super stretchy and soft, with a nice seaweed flavor from the crispy batter.

    fried Mochi Tempura
    Amanda W.

    We had good simple meal udon here they make it fresh! Chewy and delish. I had tonkatsu broth and asked for spicy and it delivered! Good chashu pork and nori melted well into the soup, tempura were self served but freshly fried and crab meat one was reallly good, the japanese yam was oily for me. Good egg and table self seats. Take your own chopsticks and pack away station. I liked the sweet fried tofu! Big piece and you can add others toppings with your choice from menu.

    4. Curry Udon, 7. Beef Udon, and misc. tempuras!
    Madi H.

    My partner was craving this when reminiscing on time spent in Japan, so we came to see how it compared. I love the cafeteria style, and I love getting to pick and choose my tempura sides. I got the curry udon, which was delicious, with shrimp and zucchini tempura. You can watch in a room to the side how they make their noodles in house, which is very cool. Each bowl is created for you, right in front of you, with homemade noodles! I had wished the lighting was a little softer to give it a home-ier feel (with comfort fried foods and soup, you get the vibe), but it is cafeteria style so I guess it makes sense why it isn't. I can imagine this is a common spot for NYU students, but I hope to go back often myself!

    Francine Y.

    I love how it's a place of order, pay and sit anywhere type of establishment. My favorite is the beef udon noodle soup with shrimp tempera on the side. The batter is so light and crispy, I always get this side no matter what. They open at 11:30am and it gets crowded quick but also the turnaround for a seat is fast. The tables can be a bit too close together so getting to the seat by the window you gotta squeeze in without trying to hit someone's food next to you or you can sit at the high bar facing the window which I love. They have 2 unisex bathrooms available but you need a code to open it so ask the cashier. They have take out containers readily available for you to grab on your own if you don't finish your meal.

    Fat Boy... whoever you are... thank you!!!…read more If you have not heard about Fat Boy Burger...Go get you a Fat Boy Burger. I'm serious. I was craving a burger one night. I had me a nice, chill evening, a little buzz going, and I wanted a good burger. The place I originally wanted was closing, and I wasn't trying to go anywhere, so I hopped on DoorDash. I was about to change my whole order until Fat Boy Burger popped up. I looked at it and thought, "You know what... that looks good." Baby...Best decision I made that night. They had a combo deal going, so I ordered the Fat Boy Burger Combo with onion rings instead of fries, and of course I had to get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake. When I tell you... I don't know who Fat Boy is. I don't know how they thought of this. But baby...I love everything you do. I just need you to know that. Let's start with the onion rings. PERFECTION!!!! Perfectly fried. Nice and crispy, but not overly crispy. The onions stayed together when you bit into them, they weren't soggy, and that first crunch...Yeah. That's exactly what an onion ring is supposed to be. Now the burger...That bun. That sauce. Oh. My. God. The burger was juicy without grease running down my hands. Everything stayed together, every bite was balanced, and I still don't know what's in that sauce, but whatever it is...Don't change it. I was literally sitting in my house doing the little food dance. Y'all know the one. Just rocking back and forth because every bite is making you happier than the last. And that Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake? Gone. It was so good. The next time I ordered, I got one of their barbecue burgers, onion rings again (because why mess with perfection?), and a Fruity Pebbles milkshake. Same experience. Everything was hot. Nothing was soggy. The burger looked exactly like the pictures. Honestly, if you looked at the photos, you'd think I had eaten inside the restaurant instead of getting it delivered. That's how well everything was packaged. You can tell they actually care about what they're putting out. They care about the food. They care about the ingredients. They care about the presentation. And they care that you enjoy what you ordered. Because trust me... I enjoyed every single bite. Shout-out to Fat Boy Burger. Just know... Y'all will probably be seeing another order from me very, very soon.

The burger was great, I loved it honestly especially the Bun, sauce and pickles. I have one small remark regarding the chicken is that it need more marination either in slices or something cause it felt dry when biting into it. I also I wanna see a spicy chicken sandwich option as well.

When you walk in, the menu is clearly visible above the register and they have burritos, quesadillas, and much more. The fam has always hyped the burritos, so I wasn't really looking to try anything else for my first time. I was on the fence between the chicken ranchero and seitan burrito. Since I had never had the latter before, I have to give it a try. I liked that there was an option for a spinach tortilla, I went with that. It was ready in about 10 minutes, and while it is indeed a take out spot, no one else was sitting inside, so we were able to occupy the four seats that were there. The burrito was humongous. I should have taken a picture of it, but I was so hungry and ready to dive in I just didn't. It was delicious. We all shared chips and a hefty amount of red salsa, that was surprisingly spicy. What a meal! We were lucky to just beat a big crowd of people. Folks were standing around waiting and pretty much the entire standing area of the little place to get orders.

Overall very average, which is sad for Hell's Kitchen as we don't really have any good spots to quickly grab a delicious burrito. They do have a LOT of vegetarian and vegan replacement options on the menu which is cool! Can't vouch for the flavor or quality of those though.
