Sunday dinner does not need to be a roast all the time. Last night we went for a spot of dinner at Wudon. I had heard good things, so I was very much looking forward to it. We arrived with no booking and they fitted us in easily, sadly the fitting in was to a tiny table behind a pillar that had very little leg room. In hindsight I should of asked to move as by the end I was pretty uncomfortable. Starters came first and they were very tasty, we shared Ap Soong which is shredded duck with crispy noodles and wrapped in lettuce leaves. It was quite mild, but then was good once I added some chilli sauce on top. We also shared a beef dish of slices of sirloin in teriyaki sauce. Cooked to perfection they were both a great way to kick off the meal. At this point I was having a Ashai with my meal, but once that ran out I decided just to move to tap water. Trudie M had chosen to do the same after her drink was finished, but no matter how many times we asked we could only get a tap water to share. They just kept filling up the same glass. Not an issue for us, but could be for other diners going out for a meal and not actually wanting to share their drink. It was very strange, but probably just some miscommunication. For mains, I am going to say that I must of picked wrong. Some food on other tables looked very nice and I was inspired to choose the Chicken chilli with rice which I would not normally go for. Sadly it was lacking flavour for me and to be honest tasted a wee bit bland and like a standard sweet and sour dish. Again I chucked some chilli on top, but it still just had no real zing from any other flavours to help make it into a good dish. It tasted like a standard sweet and sour dish you would get from an average takeaway. (I hate sweet and sour for being too boring) Wudon started off great, but ended up a wee bit disappointing. I left with sore legs from the lack of space and also feeling like I had picked the wrong main course. I won't rush back, but if I do go back at some point I will certainly be asking what the staff would recommend as when I left I saw some diners tucking into some really interesting looking dishes, which they seemed to be loving.

After trying some of Wu Don's sushi at the Tempo Tea Bar event, I had to go try more. It turns out that this is my dad's favorite restaurant and him and my step-mum invited me to dine with them one Saturday night. The place was rammed and very hot. We decided to go for some fire cracker sushi pieces with the soy beans and crackers. This was phenomenal, fresh, tasty and full of flavor. My dad and Step mum opted for some of the larger dishes, when they arrived the steaming bowls of noddles which were filled with chicken and lovely vegetables smelt incredible. I went for more sushi, with some salmon and rice pieces and deep fried king prawns and chili dip. For someone who didn't really like sushi, it didn't get any better than this. I've never tasted food like it. After dinner we had a look at the sweet menu and I went for the apples in batter with cinnamon ice cream. My step mum went for the nutella in crispy rolls with coconut ice cream. For me the apple lacked something, it was a little bland to be honest and not even the ice cream could rescue it. Suzanne's was incredible and I would definitely try that next time. Overall a fab experience and I will be back to try more sushi!

One word to describe this place? Fresh. From the flowers to the table surfaces, everything looked very clean and ... fresh. Scarily so, almost. I know it's new, but, there's a fine line between 'clinical' and 'fresh' and poor old Wudon was teetering on the fence quite precariously....eep! Anyway, so the food? Well the menu promised a 'passion' of home-made cooking - to me it there was a slight hint of an imitation of Wagamama - but why, oh why, do they tell you how many prawns/scallops/bits of food will be found in your dish in brackets at the side!? It's just not cool... I ordered the King Prawn Tempura Ramen having had similar dishes before in other restaurants. I may have had 3/4 prawns (I can't really remember now) but the majority of the dish was beansprouts. I like beansprouts. I have nothing against them, just that, when my plate is full of them, they become very boring...And bland? Did I mention this was bland? Eurgh. I don't know if I'd recommend this place or not - maybe I caught the chef on an off day? - but what I can tell you is the number of stars to be found here. (3)

A new addition to the already pretty damn tasty array of restaurants in the west end, Wudon brings a fresh angle with the addition of Japanese Cuisine to the ever expanding smorgasbord of nations. Offering grub in the same style as Wagamama ( only not in the annoying school cafeteria style seating arrangement), Wudon offers good, fresh Japanese Noodle dishes at an acceptable rate. We popped in here a week ago with the little one sleeping in her pram to treat ourselves after a night of teething hell. OK its not exactly pram friendly however the staff were excellent in clearing us a path and making sure we were ok and well attended to. As for the food? Well top notch is a term springs as freshly to mind as the flavour did in my pallet after the first bite. IF you've been to any of the new noodle bars in Glasgow you will know what to expect form the menu,namely a range of broth like dishes with noodles, fresh veg and herbs and some meat if you so desire.....which i do thank yo very much. You can also choose form a number of dishes such as curies, starters and others, all very tasty. The funny thing about this place is that whenever we frequent it never appear to be that busy. Which is strange given the location, style (ain't Japanese grub trendy just now?, and the quality. Anyway, to hell with everyone else, me and the other half shall continue to visit Wudon whenever we can trick someone int baby sitting the small one......any fools, sorry, volunteers out there??

Only been in for a takeaway - but gosh, it was amazing! One of my friends lives 5 minutes from the place and when I suggested Japanese food she opted for this - best choice ever! We both went for chicken katsu and rice, and i also had salmon nigiri and she got a selection of sushi instead. We waited quite a while to be honest, but the restaurant was quite busy, so it is understandable. Everything really nice, and price really good as well. Can't wait to go back and sit in having a proper meal!

I really loved Wudon! The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff truly lovely and the tableware was very funky! The food was delicious; I usually order Katsu curry if it's my first time at a place as it gives me a good indication of how the food is going to be. Other than not having the usual carrots and potatoes it was fantastic :) Their selection of Sushi is also quite amazing. I usually just opt for some maki, which they will do for you if you ask, but there are far more interesting options! I wanted to try my boyfriends beef sushi but it was gone before I even thought to ask! The eye of the tiger sushi was the perfect combination for me of Salmon, avocado and maki. Yum! I was too full for desert but my boyfriend got the chocolate rolls which looked amazing. Spring rolls filled with gooey chocolate, what more could you want? Their Merlot wine went down quite nicely too! We arrived about 3pm and left around 4:30pm on Friday and there was a good amount of seating. The place wasn't too quite that we felt we were disturbing people with our conversation or loud enough that we struggled to hear or get a waiters attention. It was just right :) Overall a great place to eat, price is fairly reasonable, and some parking on the street close to it. I'll definitely be going back!

Mango nuts n more salad

I am a regular at Wudon, but since lowering my carb intake, have been avoiding temptation. However I decided to come and try out the salads. I ordered the "mango nuts and more " salad , which came beautifully presented and was very tasty. The salad was a fine cut selection of salad leaves, apple, carrots, peppers , mango and crushed peanuts. I opted for the sesame and soy dressing on the side as was advised by waitress that is quite salty, but it was just perfect! My husband ordered the tori katsu sushi and a rice dish, which I've forgotten the name of now :( The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious :)

This evening we had a party of 6 adults and 2 children. One of our adults was celebrating his…read morebirthday and since it was our first time in Glasgow we went to Yelp to help find a good place to eat. We stumbled upon this location after looking for a place near our AirBnB for some Sushi. We tried to reserve a table online via their website but it didn't work. So we decided to instead walk a mile to their restaurant to see if we could get a table - or even sit outside if we had to - knowing there would probably be a bit of a wait. When we got there I entered the restaurant with my son who is 3 in a stroller and immediately was greeted by a Redheaded woman who smiled at me like I had 3 heads. I then asked kindly for their availability and explained my situation and the woman scoffed at me - as if I was stupid to even ask the question - to which she then turned her iPad around and showed a list of Reservations. I actually managed to point to my reservation that via the website had not seemed to schedule correctly - to which she aggressively said "well there's nothing we can do'. Right as I turned to leave the restaurant the rest of my party trickles in and asks if we can eat outside - One of the kind waitresses said "sure" to which she set us up outside. We ordered 3 bottles of Sake and they were £24 for 300ml bottles. We had hoped that they might be worth the price but unfortunately they weren't much better than what you can get from a CoOp with a liquor license. The Shrimp Ramen was fantastic and the sushi tasted great but was really overpriced for the quantity which they give you. Overall I totally get the lack of vacancy for a popular spot - but being scoffed at as you gently inquire about availability was really off putting. Even eating there despite it was difficult - and the alcohol/sushi being overpriced. Would not recommend. The sushi quality and the waitresses efforts are the only reason it's not 1/5.

Service is pretty poor. I hasten to add not the fault of the waitress but the cooks. I found myself…read moresitting waiting for my meal whilst my companion was eating away.

I've been saying to the Mr for at least the last year, that I REALLY want to visit here. But for…read moresome reason never quite made it. Until last night. And thank feck for that! When you arrive, you are met with what I can only describe as a manky curtain - something that would normally really annoy me, but I totally forgive them.. Once you get past that you're presented with a surprisingly large, and very sleekly decked out, restaurant. There's all sorts of deals on here for bento boxes and lunch deals. But the full menu is also very reasonably priced. I had the ramen Chilli chicken. And oh my God! It was easily the best I've ever had. Very, very spicy. But sweet. And full of peppers and perfectly cooked chicken. My friend had the chicken katsu curry - and again, said it was the best he'd had. The staff were super cheery and really helpful. For 2 mains and 2 cokes the bill came to less than £24. I sinceriously can't wait to go back for more.

This was one of the first restaurants I dined at in Glasgow with my now husband after our fateful meeting in Japan, so it is very special to the both of us. I'd hopped on a plane to the other side of the world to visit a man I'd known for 14 days, fell in love and moved here. We've returned here loads of times since then, but I haven't been to Nanakusa for nearly a year. In my endless quest of eating out as many places in Glasgow as possible, sometimes the real gems get left behind for the new and exciting places. I was so glad to return last night for a UYE and see that nothing has changed since I first fell in love with Nanakusa (I was already in love with my husband by the time we ate here!) Now, Nanakusa. It does Japanese food, and it does it really well (see the aforementioned reference to meeting my husband in Japan!). I really love sashimi and there aren't enough places in Glasgow that I can eat it, so I always get a portion when I eat here. I also love takoyaki (octopus balls) and can't resist them here. I've tried them elsewhere but Nanakusa's are the best. The service is always friendly, smiling and helpful. It was a little slow last night but there were only two people working the whole restaurant, but none of us were in a particular hurry. I had a small glass of rosé with my meal and they also have a selection of saké and plum wines, as well as Japanese beers for that really authentic taste. The food arrived quickly and as soon as it was ready. Two people had ordered bento boxes and these arrived about 5 minutes after everything else. The waiter seemed really conscious of this and kept coming over which was a nice touch. I loved all my dishes, the takoyaki and salmon sashimi and I also had the chicken teriyaki. Sides like rice and noodles are optional which is great if you're all about the protein. Downsides? As I said, service was a bit slow. I'm also not a big fan of the lighting (the wall panels change colour) as it makes it hard to take nice food photos! Haha! Bench seating can be difficult to navigate getting in and out of gracefully. None of these points are worthy of a star deduction in my mind though as the food is so damn good, I can excuse it all. Thanks Nanakusa for being just as amazing as you were 4 years ago.

The staff we interacted with were all very friendly and helpful. But unfortunately, the food was the real weak spot. The hibachi chef used enough salt to cause an immediate coronary - a layer of salt on the grill before adding the meat, before cooking the fried rice, and another layer of salt before the bean sprouts and noodles - you get the idea. The couple next to us agreed that everything was terribly salty, but eat there regularly, and said this was different than usual. So maybe it was the individual chef. At the same time, my Dragon Roll also tasted salty, so who knows. If I were here, I might give it another try, but not likely.

Fortunately it was through an itison deal and it brought the cost down my a massive amount. It was only £19 for 2 people and 2 courses and you still get the pleasure of the Sapporo "experience". Sapporo is a show chef bar, so we had Superman, I kid you not, as our chef. He had a Superman belt and it said on his name badge so it must be true. We sat along with a couple who I believe were from Mauritius, mmm maybe it was Malaysia. Anyhoo, we ordered our drinks and food, which we ordered from an itison menu that Sapporo had created. They must be doing many of these deals, I would double check they are still available as it was it worth it. The sushi was good and the main course was amazing. Superman had many tricks up his sleeve, jumping out your skin most of the time to be honest. They suggest that you tuck in while he's cooking, as it'll just get cold otherwise. Not only Superman but other chef's do make many noises and beware you will also sound like them after a while. Hehe! I swear one of them had a laugh like a looney toon character from Who Framed Rodger Rabbit. I don't want to give away the show as I'm glad I didn't know as I really enjoyed it. It was cheesy but a good laugh, probably even better in a larger group. I need to find out what he used to cook the stir-fry veg as I've never tastied anything like it. The Teriyaki sauce was also delicious including their fried rice. It's an experience, so I say chillax and just enjoy.
