The sushi rolls we had were so good! Esp the crispy mango salmon. And the Tan Tan noodles too. Service was superb and so friendly. Cool vibes too. Highly recommend! read more

Somenya in Quincy is a solid spot and definitely worth checking out. From the start the drinks impressed us especially the lychee cocktail which was easily a standout and so refreshing. Every appetizer we tried was a hit with the crab rangoon being the clear favorite crispy flavorful and hard to stop eating. They're known for their udon noodles so we had to try a few. The Snow Crab Udon was comforting and well balanced (may not be for everyone as this dish is served cold!) while the Beef Kimchi Udon (served warm) brought a nice kick of heat and bold flavor. We also ordered the Chicken Curry Don rice bowl which was hearty and satisfying and rounded out the meal nicely. Overall this is a great go to spot in Quincy for udon and Japanese comfort food. I'd rate the food an 8 out of 10 with drinks and appetizers really helping it shine. read more

Great spot in the Wollaston area for a mix of Izakaya and Udon noodles but the recent addition of sushi options has really gotten us back here to dine more often. Everything that we've tried so far (and we eat a lot!) have been a solid 4+ stars: Fried oysters, Chicken gizzards, Tako wasabi, Kurobuta sausage, Ankimo and the Hamachi kama all excellent starters. What surprised us most was the quality of the sashimi -- so fresh and tasty. You can't go wrong with the hamachi, salmon, tuna or special scallops and the ikura nigiri and the Torched Salmon Maki were both fantastic. The only thing that would've elevated this more is if they had options to order it as sushi dinners vs needing to order everything a la carte to get a decent amount of sushi as an entree. For the noodle soup lovers, my 2 year old ate the entire adult-sized bowl of Kitsune Udon! I tried a bite just to see what all the excitement was and can attest that it's got a nice sweeter broth that will get your kiddos hooked. Service staff were very nice and the cute cherry blossom decor is nice and inviting. They also can make a mean Gimlet if you're into cocktails. We shall be back! read more

The food was absolutely horrible. It was extremely salty and felt like we had junk food. Would never come back. We also got corn cheese it purely tasted like butter. read more

Somenya - Tanuki Udon - Japanese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

So glad to have this place in Quincy. The place has such big quality food that is similar to what I experienced when I was in Japan. The noodles are perfect texture and the flavors are wonderful. They know how to do cold noodles which is rare in the US. Beautiful interior and good service. read more

Overall tasty spot, appetizers like sausage and brussel sprouts were yummy. Pretty good udon! Karaage Chicken Curry was also super tasty, we would have liked a bit more curry sauce with the rice. read more

A nice replacement to the old Chinese restaurant in Wolly. The place was really cute and big enough to fit lots of people. Love the noodles. The sushi was also fresh. Can't wait to go back to try other things. Service was also friendly and quick. read more

If I could give half star I would give SomenYa 3.5 stars. Service was slow. The host and server was one person. We had to wait awhile to see him walk around. The restaurant is nicely decorated with Asian decor and it's rather clean. The restaurant side was quiet while the bar side was lively. Food was hit and misses. There were a few things that were packed with flavors and some were lacking it. My favorite dish was spicy chicken gizzards. I will definitely come back to try more dishes as their menu has quite a large selection. read more

This place is so cute tucked close to Wollaston station on Beale street where all the food places are popping at. The homemade udon was nice and chewy, along with the soup, it's very comforting. They have a wide selection of udon options, more creative on the cold ones than hot soups. They also have a very ambient bar on the other side with very creative cocktails and various spirits. Parking is fairly easy right outside - street parking read more

I personally didn't enjoy this udon restaurant. I've tried it twice -- once when they first opened and again more recently -- and both times the udon just didn't impress me. The flavors felt off, and some lacked flavor. For the price, I don't think the udon is worth it, especially since the Chinatown location tastes much better in comparison. That said, the appetizers here are really good, and I've heard the drinks are great (though I haven't tried them myself). I also haven't had the rice bowls, so those might be worth checking out. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and I think it's a nice spot if you're looking for small bites and drinks -- just not for the udon. The servers are also quite attentive and quick to serve. read more

Exquisite interior that really pulls you out of Quincy, MA. It's neatly sectioned off between a bar area and a dining area with some large semicircle booths along the windows - lovely concept. The service is quick and food took a reasonable time to prepare. We got the cold udon (not pictured unfortunately), spicy beef udon, and a fried octopus (squid? calamari?) appetizer. They were all delicious, the cold udon was chewy and the broth in the hot udon is really well balanced - not too spicy either, not like a mala kind of feel. The fried appetizer was crunchy and chewy. It's a great spot to get your quick udon fix, I've had better, but nothing really wow-ed me about this place. read more

Soft opening, we liked the spot in Chinatown and noticed they opened on Beale street in Quincy right down the street from Wollaston T. Ambiance and decor were nice and super inviting. Dining on the right with bar counter on the left. Now we know this is like a soft opening as they don't have soba noodles which is what we wanted to order so we had to go with udon. Soba noodles and sushi is coming soon they said. So a bit disappointing start but overall that's okay we proceeded. Like others may have said to us, the koji chicken was like what you'd expect karage chicken to be. It wasn't the crispiest but the chicken was juicy and tender. Extra hot temp which is always good for us and came with some QP mayo and some spice we added that was available on the table. The lady knows what's it was called i can't recall. It paired well! Now the beef sukiyaki for us today, the broth was good for us, had good depth of flavor, so I'm hoping their process gets streamlined for consistency (just reading other folks experience here thus far) like their chinatown counter part. The portion was straight for our hunger level. The tantan is what i got, i think there could have been more of the ground meat, it was mostly noodles and garnish and i concur with the lady the sukiyaki was better. The broth wasn't actually spicy (now i don't mean kick you in the face spicy but a hint of a kick would've been welcome haha). Overall cant wait until they update their menu with soba noodz, since that's what we looking for! read more

My partner and I got the spicy salmon tartare, koji fried chicken, spicy Japanese cold tofu udon, and taraka udon - TASTE: 4/5 - the yuzu dressing was tasty in the salmon tartare and both udon bowls. My spicy udon wasn't spicy though TEXTURE: 4/5 - we love how refreshing cold udon is! Thought the salmon would be finely minced or chopped in tartare fashion, but it was presented in chunks. The homemade udon was a little chewier than expected PRICE: 3/5 - pretty expensive. Most apps are $12-15 and most udon $20+ SERVING SIZE: 3/5 - both apps (~12 pieces of salmon and 6 pieces of chicken) and both udons were much smaller than anticipated. Twas a light dinner SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 6pm on a Thursday and a couple tables were seated. The staff was friendly and our food started coming out 10-15min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - such a nicely decorated space! PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot right on Beale St read more

I've heard so many wonderful things about Somenya, so I had to check it out -- and it did not disappoint! As soon as I walked in, I felt transported to another world. The beautiful cherry blossom decor and Japanese-inspired design create such an inviting and elevated dining atmosphere. The service was excellent -- our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food was just as amazing as everyone says! The udon noodles had the perfect balance of chewiness and flavor. Plus, they have a full bar with a great selection of drinks that look as good as they taste. A fantastic spot to hang out with friends or coworkers. Highly recommend! read more

This place can turn a bad day around. Drinks, food, atmosphere, service are all amazing. One of my new favorite late night spots.

I came here after work. The sushi here is incredibly fresh, every bite melted in my mouth. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the bar had a great selection of sake and cocktails. Perfect spot or a night out! Stop by on the weekend as well because I live around and try the yakitori skewers, salmon rice with and drink , not bad ... enjoy and relax after work ;) read more

Nice addition to the Wollaston area for a simple meal. I tried the location in Chinatown, which has a more extensive menu, and I expected this place to have a similar menu. However, they focused on udon, with no selection of soba, which was disappointing. I wish they would add more selection soon, as this place is significantly larger than the Chinatown location. The service is slow on a Friday lunch since there is only one person at the front who has to greet, and also a server. If one person is working, they should have some alert when someone enters, even if there is no one at the front. We ordered hot sukiyaki beef udon and cold sukiyaki beef udon. The udon has a nice texture, being chewy rather than soft. However, since I had udon the day before at Yume Ga Arukara, Somenya still needs more improvement, especially in their soup base, as they offer a wider selection. read more

Oh wow! I totally did not know or expect Somenya to open in Quincy, what a treat! They currently have one other location in Boston's Chinatown, which serves both soba + udon noodles, as well as appetizers + rice bowls. Currently, they are having their soft opening & are located on Beale St, in the Wollaston neighborhood of Quincy. Conveniently located by the Wollaston T. They've got a beautiful space inside, and is noticeably larger than their Chinatown location! Bathrooms are clean & single occupancy (LOVE THIS!). For now, they are only offering udon noodles for their noodle dishes & will soon be adding the soba noodle option, as well as sushi in the future, according to our server. We decided to order the beef sukiyaki udon, spicy tantan udon, & Koji fried chicken as our appetizer to try. The Koji fried chicken was tasty, similar to chicken karaage. It came with a kupie mayo dip that paired well with the chicken. I enjoyed mixing the mayo w/ the shichimi togarashi (provided at each table), to dip with the chicken! Chicken was not dry at all and was super moist + juicy. I liked the beef sukiyaki udon more than I did the spicy tantan udon. The beef is very flavorful and I love the caramelized onions added! ***Important to note that the spicy tantan is not actually spicy*** It was still good but the flavor profile was not my favorite. Overall, I really enjoyed Somenya in Quincy & love that we have a new noodle spot on the South Shore! Server & staff were all very nice + attentive. Parking: free 2hr street parking on Beale St & Hancock St. read more

Walked in and the interior is absolutely beautiful! Modern Japanese decor with plenty of cherry blossoms scattered throughout the restaurant. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Some top highlights: Spicy scallop sashimi appetizer- scallop was extremely fresh. 5/5 Spicy beef udon (cold) - if you're a fan of CHEWY noodles, you will LOVE IT. I have never had such chewy and bouncy udon in my life and now I'm hooked! As someone who loves all my noodles to have a bite to it, I was in heaven. The flavors of this beef udon was also delish, not too beefy flavored and very enjoyable. 5/5 Koji wings- at $12 for 4 pieces of wings, they're kinda pricy but the meat inside was nice and moist, while the outside had a very crunchy and shattering crust. 4/5 Like other reviews, I was also a bit disappointed they did not have soba but if their soba (in the future) is anything like their udon, I have high hopes! Would definitely recommend and come back again! read more

I tried the salmon ikura udon, spicy beef sukiyaki, crispy Karaage Chicken Don, Spicy Beef Udon, and my absolutely favorite sweet smoky Unagi Don. Craving sushi? I tried their delicious hand rolls (unagi, shrimp tempura, and the real crab with truffle). Don't forget to try their Juicy Grilled Lamb Chops read more

The food was excellent, the chef/owner is a very knowledgeable and nice guy. The decor has to be one of the best in Quincy if not the best, moment you step into the restaurant, feels like you are no longer in Quincy MA. Their thoughtfulness to details are amazing. Chef even gave us a special salmon skin that was so delicious I wish they would add it to their regular menu. Their appetiser is amazing with lots of selections. Love their house made broth that they make in house without using the pre-made MSG soup base like 90% of the other "ramen" places are using out there. I would say, one thing lacking is their servers could be more attentive, but I am sure that can be easily fixed and does not take away from the yummy food experiences. read more

Customer service was amazing and the decor/ambiance is really beautiful. We got the baked cheese, cucumber salad and real crab rangoons for starters and the Kitsune udon for the main. Every single item was super tasty and thoughtfully made. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu! Ps. If you love crab Rangoon, theirs were by far the best I've ever had! They're perfectly golden crispy and the filling with real crab meat is sweet and delicious. read more

Had a great midweek meal at Somenya. Yummy cocktails and everything we ate was really tasty. We had chicken wings, fried soft shell crab and udon. Some of the best udon noodles and broth I've ever had. The space was cute and inviting as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was personable. It was really slow (only 2 other tables there at the time) so we had lots of attention. I hope more people find out about the great food here so that it sticks around. I will be back for sure! read more

What a great addition to the Wollaston restaurant scene! Mainly focused on appetizers this trip so will try Udo and Donburi next trip. Loved everything but stand outs were fried oysters, octopus balls, sashimi, cucumber salad, truffle tater tots. Bar service was attentive and definitely gives a fine dining feel. Restaurant is newly opened and I really liked the interior style. Impressive bathroom decor gives anime vibe. Place is spotless and the staff was friendly and attentive. It's not inexpensive but excellent value. read more

The interior: nice. They put some real effort into the interior of this spot, making it feel upscale. However, that's where the positives end. The food: we expected them to have soba (or at least some sort of thin noodle - somen - it's in the name!!) but unfortunately only udon and rice bowls. No biggie, we ordered some udon. I had the beef sukiyaki udon, which wasn't terrible, but there was only a few strips of beef. Broth was unremarkable and pretty one dimensional. At $20 a bowl you should be doing better. My partner ordered the kitsune udon - again, broth was lacking flavor... disappointing. The Koji chicken however was nice and juicy, that was the highlight of the meal. Please add more tempura items to the menu!! The ambiance: servers just stood in a corner watching us eat... a little unsettling. Please don't do this.. I really wanted to like this spot. But for the money, I am not able to recommend this for value. Overall I would opt to go for a different noodle spot. For the money... you should expect more. read more

Food was not good... for a space specializing in udon I was really expecting more. The udon lacked flavor and depth, tasted super watered down. For $16+ a bowl you would expect the flavor to be there at least but it totally missed the mark. You'd be happier getting a packet of instant udon from the 99 Ranch down the street. read more
