I'm generally not an udon person, but it was cold and rainy, so hubby and I wanted something soupy. We got there a little after 6pm on a Friday night. Plenty of parking, as you can also park at CPB parking lot. Service was great. We got seated quickly. Able to order right away, without being rushed. I had the negitoro don/udon set. It was good. I wouldn't say outstanding, but again, I'm not an udon person. They do specialize and make they're own udon. I definitely can tell it's fresh. Hubby loves his curry, so he ordered that. He said it was okay. Again, not the best, but they specialize in udon, not curry. All that being said, I was going to give them 3 stars, but gave them an extra star because of my lack of expertise in udon. Plus I enjoyed the ambience. There was a Japanese couple, sitting next to us who were regulars. That said a lot. read more

What a great new spot! My friend and I were in the mood for udon and stumbled up this place, and I'm glad that we did. Udon Yonpachi is a very welcoming environment and the food is delicious. The parking lot is a little bit strangely built, however, when you get past that and enter the restaurant, you are greeted warmly by the entire staff. Also know that the door gets a little sticky so if the sign says open, they are open. You just have to put a little muscle into the door. Anyway, the menu had a lot of options, but since it was our first time, I ended up asking the people that were sitting at the table next to us what they ordered. We started out with tempura vegetables and shrimp as well as fried udon noodles, which were so good. I've never had those before and I'm glad I tried it because they were a delight. We ended up ordering the Niku Kinoko Jiru Tsuke Udon (17.25) which was very delicious. The noodles were absolute perfection. They are made daily in house and were long and chewy and so flavorful. The dipping broth is also so good and flavorful. The restaurant is dine in only for now because they just recently opened. They just also added a few days of lunch service to their hours. This place should be visited if you are an udon fan and if you're not an udon fan, I think this place will make you one. read more

Oishii ! For a person that puts udon noodles on the lower side when it comes to noodles. Oishii ( delicious ) is the only way to express my Curry Udon set. Mild Curry flavor broth and soft noodles. Thanks Nadine C for inviting me to a great lunch. We were greeted and seated. The menus and water soon followed. The restaurant interior was larger than it seemed from the out side. Nice and roomy. looking forward to trying other udon dish. Enjoy read more

Udon Yonpachi is a new udon shop in town! We were happily surprised to see a new sign occupying the old space left by Torae Torae and stopped in for a quick dinner. The inside is definitely reminiscent of the previous tenants: several tables are available for groups and there is a bartop seating facing a semi-open kitchen. The udon noodles were thick and chewy - we were told they're made in-house. The nikujiru tsuke udon was served as a dipped udon - I can't say I've had udon like this before, but the style is similar to tsukemen (as the name might suggest). The dipping broth was packed with flavor - salty and rich balanced with a good amount of acid and just a touch of sweetness. The flavors of this dipping broth are very concentrated and I don't think you're intended to drink it as you might a ramen soup, but once my noodles ran out I wasn't ready to just waste such delicious broth. They have a sherbet dessert on the menu (not made in house, it's prepackaged) - we tried the hojicha flavor - personally, I'd be ok with skipping this next time. The hojicha flavor was there but I found the texture a bit strange and hard to get over. Service was super friendly and attentive! There is a very limited parking lot available and once it's full, street parking in the area can be pretty tough. read more

Tried the new Udon Yonpachi in McCully and while I loved their fresh handmade noodles, I'm not sure it blew me away enough to come back. The highlight was definitely the noodles,... they make them in-house and you can really taste the freshness. The shabu meat salad was super tasty, and the udon fries were a fun and unique twist on French fries basically chewy fries made from tempura udon noodles. My husband and I both got the pork and chicken signature cold noodle with hot dipping sauce. It was flavorful, a little salty, and we felt like the portion size didn't quite match the price. My husband left a little hungry. Service was just okay and not super welcoming. Staff weren't very attentive, and it was hard to get extra utensils when needed. I had a hard time flagging them down since we weren't checked on often. Be aware, Parking is rough... only a handful of spots out front, and we ended up on a side street a few blocks away. My advice: wait it out for a space in their lot if you can. Overall, the food is yummy and I love me a spot that makes their noodles fresh, but the service and parking definitely take away from the experience. read more

Just visited the newly opened Udon Yonpachi! I was easily convinced to check it out after seeing a reel on Instagram :). Udon Yonpachi reminded me of this one udon I got in Tokyo Station...so good! The udon was thick and perfectly cooked/chewy. I also highly recommend getting the chikuwa tempura on the side (available during dinner) and dipping it into the udon broth. If I were to skip one thing it would maybe be the agedashi tofu...but that's me being really picky. Everything about our experience was a 10/10--especially the friendly service, despite being newly opened. While we miss the former space, Izakaya Torae Torae, I definitely won't be complaining about having a new udon spot. I think the restaurant is walk-in, no reservations, but it wasn't hard to get a table on a Tuesday night. Excited to have a new restaurant to add to our dining out rotation! read more

We checked out Udon Yonpachi, a newer udon spot 7-10 min off the Waikiki strip! It seemed that they are known for their signature dipping udon and pupus so I ordered the niku kinoko jiru tsuke udon with pork, fried tofu, green onions, shiitake mushroom, Shimeji, chili oil, along with a side of agedashi tofu. The wheat noodles were nice and chewy, and the broth was light but full of umami. Tofu was freshly fried and so silky! The service was also super nice - we called ahead with a party of 7 and walked in with no wait at dinner time. Looking forward to coming back next time! read more

Udon Yonpachi is great for a casual udon meal with an izakaya vibe. We went right at 5pm opening on a Friday and got seated immediately. Interior is very similar to the previous tenant, Torae Torae. To start, we got the udon fries and the pork shabu salad. The udon fries are such a novel idea and I loved it! It reminds me of a slightly undercooked french fry that's crispy on the outside and slightly chewy inside. Not to mention the seasoning salt and furikake on the fries was addictive. The salad had a generous portion of pork and yummy onion dressing. I decided on their hot dipping udon with pork and mushrooms. It comes with a plate of cold udon and a super umami broth with a touch of sweetness, packed with pork and mushrooms. The broth comes out piping hot, but since the bowl is so small, it does cool down over time. Also, the broth does not cling to the noodles much, so I found myself sipping some with a spoon with each bite. This dish was so comforting on a rainy day. I'll happily add this place to the rotation of pau hana dinner spots. read more

The restaurant was quite slow for lunch on a Saturday. I got the lunch special udon set. The udon was good. Broth has good flavor and the sides and rice made the meal more filling. Very simple and tasty. read more

Our first time here was just great and we told all our friends to come and try it. Second visit 10 days later---what happened. We brought a friend and hubby and I had the same thing as visit #1. Shrimp tempura and hot udon lunch special. The shrimp were much smaller and the amount of rice that they gave each bowl was about half as much as 10 days ago. Udon portion was small, but filling. SOO disappointed in the portion size. Won't return. read more

Curry Cravings and Saba Dreams at Udon Yonpachi. I kept driving past Udon Yonpachi and finally had to check them out. We came for dinner around 7:30 PM on a Thursday and were seated right away. I noticed most of the other diners were local Japanese, which I took as a very good sign. We started with the Torched Marinated Saba, and it was a delightful appetizer. The marinade had such an addictive flavor, I found myself chasing the last piece before I knew it. Definitely get the Curry Udon, served hot. This umami flavor bomb had me ready to lick the bowl clean. The udon noodles were perfectly chewy with super long strands. I am a messy eater by nature, and with curry broth involved, my shorts got to enjoy some too. Nothing a little Dawn dish soap cannot fix. My partner ordered the Spicy Niku Kinoko Jiru Tsuke Udon, a cold udon with hot dipping broth that featured mushrooms and pork (you pick pork or chicken). The broth had serious heat, about Thai medium level. A little too spicy for me to handle the full bowl, but the flavor was great. Udon Yonpachi delivers cozy flavors, nostalgic ambiance, and a curry broth worth staining your shorts for. Bring an appetite and maybe a bib. read more

Very welcoming staff and the food came out fast. Interior is clean and bright. I used to love Izakaya Torae Torae so I'm glad another great restaurant opened in the same spot! We got the tendon udon combo and the nikujiru tsuke udon with chicken and added a small tendon. Everything was incredible, broth was super flavorful. The tendon was crisp and flavorful. So full after this will definitely be back! read more

Newly opened Udon Yonpachi has been creating such a buzz on social media that I had to try it out for myself. And boy, am I glad I did. You could close your eyes and feel as though you just stepped off the Yamanote train line in Tokyo. I opted for the Niku Kinokojiru set lunch special. Tender, stewed, pork with assorted mushrooms and aburaage in a rich Bonito broth that is both savory and sweet. It paired nicely with the homemade noodles made with Sun Noodles flour. The meal also comes with a green salad, Kimpura Gobo, Asazuke(Japanese pickles) and a small bowl of rice. It's a great deal for just $21. Parking can be a bit challenging as it is a very small parking lot. I'd say about five stalls total in the front. The back lot is mostly reserved for the bank. My pro tip would be go early like 11 o'clock as soon as they open or after the lunch rush. I need to come back for dinner wanted to eat and try it much more things on their menu like their tempura ajitama egg and udon fries. read more

First time here, saw a t.v review on Hawaii News now. Parking is very limited as you can see my picture...6-stalls. Park at Times...Lunch Menu doesn't have a large selection as dinner 5-10pm. Noodles are made fresh daily. You can really taste the difference. Just Open on August 1, 25. Service was excellent, got really busy lunch time...people waiting outside. You can park across the street after hours with a meter parking by CPB . Aloha, Derek read more

Such friendly staff. Had the udon fries, takoyaki and curry udon. The fries are tasty(garlic salt). The takoyaki is great with nice tender pieces of tako. The curry udon hit the spot. The noodles are perfect and the curry is very tasty yet not to spicy. Definitely will be back. read more

Service was lovely - friendly, plenty of water, immediate acknowledgement. The ambience feels authentic with old school Japanese music and ad posters hanging along with traditional calligraphy and paintings. You can sit at the counter which is low top so very comfortable or tables. They have two bathrooms in the back. The parking situation is a bit rough - if you're going for dinner park on the side where it's bank parking during the day. Easier to get out. I poorly chose to park in a spot by their entrance and had to back out onto McCully and then make a bunch of u-turns to get where I was going. But at least I got a spot. The food was fine. They have a dipping style of udon so the noodles are on a basket like soba and you dip in a warm broth. I got the spicy one with mushrooms and chicken. I was surprised at the level of spice and my mouth was burning in a good way at the end. The noodles didn't have the toothsome chewy bite that I prefer - a bit soft for me. About $18 for the noodles. Then veggie tempura assortment $11 plus one egg tempura. Total bill for two people for two noodle dishes, veg tempura and egg tempura was $60+. I get that food costs are expensive these days. I guess altogether especially with the rough parking, the soft noodles, and price point maybe I wouldn't necessarily seek to come back hence the 3. Nothing bad it was an ok experience. read more

food - i tried the tsuke udon which i've never had before, and i really liked it! the soup/sauce sticks really well to the udon noodles for a perfect bite. service - quick and easy, workers were really nice! ambiance - casual and clean spot, perfect for a quick bite read more

First time here. Saturday night around 7pm & luckily, parking available in front of restaurant. They don't take reservations so was pleased there was no wait upon our arrival for our party of 4. Place is welcoming, clean and cozy - like entering a restaurant in Japan. Good, simple menu... appetizers, drinks, and then their specialty Udon. Service was friendly and quick. Drinks & food came out timely. First time enjoying udon like this... dipping it into a separate hot soup bowl of goodness. We all enjoyed this new experience. Will return for lunch... as lunch sets come with other side dishes to really complete the meal. Oishi! Will be back. read more

Udon is very special. Dipping sauce is exceptional. Wide variety of side dishes that you don't see anywhere else. Sake and great Japanese beer on tap. Service is excellent. You can yell the owner really cares about the quality of service his customers receive. Welcoming ambiance. It's like stepping into a little piece of Japan. Super clean and neat We were fortunate that there wasn't a line after us so we never felt rushed. It's a tiny place but service is so quick and there's ample space between tables so you won't feel crowded. We had a great salad, the curry udon, Zara udon and chicken tempura, udon with mini tendon set and a pitcher of Asahi. There's a small free parking lot and paid parking available across the street at Central Pacific Bank after 6 pm. Not much street parking with all the apartments nearby. But we were there on a holiday Monday at 6 pm and we had no problem getting a parking space. read more

Food did not taste like packaged "make it yourself" udon. I had lunch special consisting of pork, different kinds of mushrooms, in a spicy broth with udon noodles to dip into it. I enjoyed this. When we arrived at noon, there were two families ahead of us. Soon we were joined by two more couples. After a short wait we were seated. The restaurant was full. The servers and kitchen staff were very very busy. Polite service. Seating accommodates singles, couples and families. Since this restaurant has just opened, there are crowds/foodies. Definitely a place to return to. read more

Udon Yonpachi - Spicy pork and mushrooms in broth for udon dipping! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Need to work out some kinks, so be patient with them. Hopefully they'll figure it out soon because there was a wait & they kinda sat everyone that was waiting down at once. No reservations right now, I think if you come before 630, the wait won't be as long. I got the cold dipping udon with normal portion noodles & a side of shrimp tempura. Tempura was good, like how it should be. The udon noodles were very long & chewy, I love the texture, you can tell it was made fresh. The dipping sauce was a little salty for me (I was sipping it) but goes perfectly with the udon. I don't think I should be sipping the sauce, that's why it felt salty. We asked for dashi stock at the end to drink the rest of the soup & it was sooo good. My companion got the signature broth with chicken, also available with pork, & came with mushrooms. This right here is the star of the show. It was very hearty, sweet & delicious. I would come back and get just this. I'm sure you can ask for no meat (but unsure about the broth). Make sure you ask for dashi stock at the end of your meal if you wanna slurp up the rest of the delicious dipping sauce. read more

Came here around 8pm tonight (Tuesday). Parking was open. Lucky me! Maybe Tuesday nights are a good time to drop by at Udon Yonpachi. Love the signage outside (simple yet elegant!). Love their interior design too! It's not super overwhelming but I believe they can dim the lighting just a bit. Great hospitality was provided which was a plus. I ordered their homemade signature udon (I chose pork for the meat). Both the udon and the soup were quality fire! If you want quality udon, try this place out with your friends/family. I ordered their takoyaki and the sauce was just right and the texture and crunchiness were as well. There are many more to try on the menu, so I shall return! ありがとうございます！(^^) read more

5-Star Review for Udon Yonpachi If you're looking for truly authentic, homemade-style udon that goes beyond your typical franchise taste, Udon Yonpachi is an absolute must-visit. Our family ordered multiple appetizers and udon dishes, and every single item exceeded expectations. Compared to places like Marugame, Yonpachi delivers a more refined, balanced, and genuinely comforting Japanese dining experience. The curry udon stood out for its perfect seasoning--flavorful without being overly salty. The regular hot udon had a clean, deep broth that felt crafted with care. And to our surprise, the agedashi tofu was a standout--honestly better than what we've had at many izakayas here in Honolulu. Lightly crispy on the outside, silky inside, and served in a delicious dashi-based sauce. If you're tired of mass-produced noodle shops and want something that tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen in Japan, Udon Yonpachi is the spot. Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and food made with heart. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Over everything I ate for lunch, I enjoyed their salad dressing the most! It has a strong wasabi flavor which I loved. But their fresh udon noodles are delicious too.

The curry could have been a bit thicker. read more

Logistics: located at was once Torae Torae, so parking is not the greatest. No reservations; walk in only and first come, first served. With this establishment being on the smaller side, best to come later for dinner to avoid a long wait. We arrived a little before 9pm and had to wait about 10 minutes. Service: friendly and attentive. Lauren was a great server! She made us feel like regulars, tho it was our first time. Food: takoyaki was perfect...good piece of tako surrounded by sturdy yet creamy "dough" and a crispy outer shell. Also love that it wasn't doused in sauce. Hubby tried their signature dish of a hot pork and mushroom broth and cold udon. Agree with him that the udon should have been served hot, as it brought the temperature of the broth down to lukewarm. I ordered the zaru udon, which was simple yet on point. I didn't care for the sesame dipping sauce, but I don't deviate much from the standard. Side order of tempura (so good!!!) was needed. For both our dishes, the udon was firm yet chewy... perfect. Only gripe was the noodles needed to be cut in half...they are super long which does make for extra slurping (and sauce splashes on shirt, if you're a messy eater). Sake, beer, and other alcoholic beverages are available.) We'll be returning, but going to stick with the OG udon dishes like the zaru and kake. read more

This cozy udon restaurant ended my search for new fresh udon fix that had started since the South King street Jimbo udon closed. Even though Udon Yongpachi is very different from Jimbo, I simply love their service, clean cozy ambiance, their broth, and fresh udon. The chiefs and servers welcome their guests with "いらっしゃいませ" and warm smiles. I had the spicy niku kinoko Jeri tsuke udon set. The green salad's dressing was nice, not just another Japanese salad dressing. The broth for the udon was flavourful. Udon was very fresh and had the right texture and chewiness. I also like the gobo, asazuke and mixed rice that came with the set. Definitely will visit again and recommend it to friend. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. The portion size is also very generous. My son loved the spicy nikujiro kinoko tsuke udon with pork. Also, you can tell they make the udon noodles fresh in-house.

The servers are really attentive and kind. read more

When I heard that udon yonoachi was like Jimbo 2.0 I had no idea how true this is. First things first, the tendon was by far the best I've had on the island of Oahu and probably in the state of Hawaii it was crispy juicy succulent prawns and just overall really good tempura. The vegetable were plentiful with an array of offerings that I have not seen in a long time. A special surprise was the tempura boiled egg that was done perfectly and really oozed over the rice. The udon was also chewy and good, but I'm not sure if exactly the same as Jimbo's because it's been so long since I've eaten there but it was good. The broth was a nice blend of kobo, dashi and the exact amount of umami needed for a satisfying udon broth. I think the best part of the visit was meeting with our server who was also co-owner who had a full-time day job and worked there at night to support her chef husband. They were friends with the owners of Jimbo and we shared stories and memories of our times eating and hanging out at the restaurant. Chef Ichi was scouted by Jimbo's owner when he was planning to open up the second spot. Sadly he would never see the opening of this restaurant because he passed away before the big day. Thankfully for us the new owners were able to continue the legacy of delicious udon and tempura at this location. If you go in and talk story with them ask them to share those photo of the Jimbo's owner that is hanging in their kitchen. A great homage to someone who really made the tummies of so many of us happy and generations of Kiki's who are now adults who miss Jimbos but have now found a new spot for Oshi udon and tendon. read more

My family of 4 visited Udon Yonpachi with another family of 4 at around 7:10 p.m. on a Wednesday. The restaurant was mostly filled but there was an empty table next to a table with a family that had a bunch of empty dishes in front of them so we decided to wait--and wait we did--about 45 minutes later I decided to let the waitress know that we were leaving and began walking my kids across the street (sadly the pasta place was closed by then) to look for another option for dinner. I guess that encouraged the camper family to leave so the waitress came out and asked if we wanted to come back. And since I'm writing a review, the answer was yes. So long story short, we ordered: -Takoyaki (comes with 6) -Tako wasabi -Curry udon (two pork and one chicken) -Kake udon -Vegetable tempura -Egg tempura -Kara kinoko udon (pork) -Keiki udon set (3) -Sapporo pitcher -Ramune -Oi Ocha bottle -Orion bottle (which we did not receive but were charged for) The takoyaki and tako wasabi were good. The tako wasabi was especially noteworthy. The pieces were cut evenly, the wasabi was just enough of a kick, and it was presented with a perfect shiso leaf. I liked the amount and quality of the bonito flakes on the takoyaki. I tried a bit of every shiru even though I ordered the plain kake udon because I am that person. They were all good, but I think the kare (pork curry) one was my favorite. The vegetable tempura was a nice assortment for $11. There was a kabocha slice, zucchini spear, enoki mushroom bunch, sweet potato slice, and eggplant fan. The tempura coating was light and not greasy. My teen had the tempura egg but she really just wanted an ajitama egg so she slid off the coating and I gave her a little grief. Can you imagine how hard it is to tempura a boiled egg? The younger kids enjoyed the keiki sets and I liked the variety of items in the set. They had a small kake udon, fries, edamame, karaage chicken, and a bag of shoyu rice crackers and a juice box. The cost was $8 each which was really a deal for the quality and amount. My youngest did not want to eat her karaage for some strange reason but my friend's kid snatched it up quickly. Overall the food was worth it and I might come back but not with a large group. We parked across the street at the Central Pacific Bank parking lot which charges $7 after 6 p.m. If you're a small party you'd probably have better luck. Sadly by the time we sat I was in no mood for pictures but trust me when I say it was all very well presented. On that last note, my husband and I had a bit of a philosophical debate on the way home. He was angry at the camper family for just sitting and taking up a table while on their phones for so long whereas I thought the onus should have been on the restaurant staff to ask them to move over a table or leave. What do you think? read more
