Udon Sushi & Noodle

I go by here once a month or so to get food for my daughter. She loves the kid's ramen. It was a…read moreshock today that the prices have gone up. What use to be around $10 is now $13! The hostess said all of the prices have gone up because, "it's not American food." I took it home and prepared it for my daughter and realized that it was not same quantity as before. They raised their prices 30% and the quantity of the food about 20%. The containers were not full like they have been the past few years of ordering. Told my daughter it doesn't make sense in this economy to raise prices so much and also lower the amount of food you get. We are cutting Itto out of our choices until their prices go back down.

Extremely well done. I showed up at the end of the day looking for some food and a beer, and I was…read morevery happy with the overall experience. The space was nicely decorated. The staff were extremely helpful. I mentioned I was looking for vegetarian options, and the bar tender thoughtfully guided me through the various options on both the tapas and ramen menus. That made for a great experience. In terms of the food, I opted for the miso eggplant and the garlic butter broccoli. Both were excellent. The miso eggplant is served as well cooked Japanese eggplant with a light tempura treatment and somewhat sweet miso glaze. Not too heavy, but still delicious and nicely textured. The broccoli was perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. It made for a nice pairing. In terms of beer, they had a few different local beers on tap. I went for a local pale ale. Great. In any case, this place is highly recommended. I suspect their vegetarian ramen would probably be pretty good, but that was a little heavier than what I was looking for. It was nice to have a few other vegetable forward options available as a backup.

We saw that they were booked for the entire weekend, so we figured we'd try our luck the next night around 5 PM. Luckily, we were able to get seated right away outside! We opted for the chef's menu, which includes several pre-planned courses and is a great way to try a variety of things. There was definitely A LOT of mushroom throughout the tasting, which was a little tough for me since I don't love mushrooms. I'll eat a little, but it was surprising how frequently they were incorporated into the courses. That said, there were some definite standouts. My favorites were the wagyu appetizer, which they said is exclusive to the tasting menu, all of the raw dishes, and the pastrami brisket. And honorable mention to the desserts -- they were seriously to die for! I just wish I had more room to eat more. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and it was such a lovely evening sitting outside in the warm weather next to the aesthetic fireplace. The pacing of the tasting menu was a little odd at times, but it ultimately worked. Best bite of the night though was the pastrami brisket with the pickled kimchi, sesame bbq sauce, pickle, a little salt, and a little wasabi...will be dreaming of this!! I definitely want to come back and try more from the regular menu. There were a lot of things that sounded amazing, and I think I'd enjoy being able to pick and choose the dishes myself!

The total for our two meals was over $40, and close to $50 with tip. Unfortunately, neither dish met our expectations. The chicken in my red curry was chewy, somewhat slimy in texture, and lacked flavor. After a few bites, I didn't want to continue eating it. The vegetables also seemed undercooked, not just al dente, but almost raw. The curry sauce itself wasn't bad, but it was a bit watery and heavily seasoned with red chili flakes, which made it difficult to taste the curry flavors. My husband's sesame chicken was also tough and difficult to chew. We were surprised to see an additional charge of nearly $4 for substituting fried rice, as that wasn't mentioned when ordering. I really wanted to like this restaurant because it's close to home and we don't have many options for this type of cuisine nearby. Unfortunately, our first experience was disappointing.

I had the distinct pleasure of dining at Udon recently, and it was a truly memorable experience from start to finish. The moment I entered, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, with elegant décor and a tranquil ambiance that set the stage for a wonderful meal. The sushi at Udon is nothing short of extraordinary. Each piece was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was beautiful, making each dish a feast for both the eyes and the palate. A highlight of our meal was the Dragon Roll, featuring succulent eel, avocado, and a delicate drizzle of eel sauce. It was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. The sashimi platter was another standout, with an assortment of the freshest fish that melted in your mouth. read more

Cold and harsh AND no background music, just the sounds coming from the open kitchen, fryers, pots and pans. We sat at the corner of the bar which gave us a perfect view of the kitchen, wow what a show. EVERYTHING ITEM WE ORDERED CAN OUT OF A FREEZER AND WAS DUMPED INYO A FRYER! Can you imagine an Asian restaurant not making their own dumplings and Spring Rolls. Even the sauces can straight out of a bottle or jug. Heck, I can go to the grocery store and buy the exact same items and cook at home and have better service and ambience (at least at home I've got music playing). The food quality was horrible, flat out awful. The Spicy Dumplings were so gummy they stuck to my chop sticks. The Spring Rolls were still cold in the middle too. Once we realized all the food was as frozen / convenience food we elected to go elsewhere. Also well over priced, approximately $75.00 for two apps and two beers apiece. Needless to say, we hade two trips in one, our first and our last.
