Best places: Udon noodle shops in Toshima, Japan

👍👍 At the end of 2019, I visited Kagawa Udon for the 10th time (mainly S-class restaurants), but after all there was no dashi that exceeded Maruka. I reconfirmed that the mellow scent of this Maruka dashi stock is still unusual. Probably, the amount of raw materials used for the dashi is impossible, a...

Housemade noodle dishes are offered in this down-to-earth restaurant chain outlet.

Udon noodles, tempura & sake in an early 20th-century stone building overlooking a tranquil garden.

Elegant, traditional-inspired space for wide himokawa udon noodles, served in soups & with tempura.

👍👍 This is our new favourite local! They make the udon fresh every morning and it has amazing texture. The tempura is some of the best we've had in Japan. The price is so good too. It seems to be a family run place and the interior is nice and cosy, Japanese style. We love it and can't recommend it eno...

Compact venue for crispy tempura & house-made udon noodles with a range of accompaniments.

👍👍 Really delicious, had the hot soba with vegetable tempura. People eat and leave quickly, I sat and finished my meal in about 5 minutes. Very cheap too. Nice people working there.

👍👍 Great vibes, awesome service and delicious noodles ! One of my favourite noodle houses in Tokyo. It is slightly off the beaten track, but well worth the travel. You choose your dish at the entrance just thru the door at a little ticket vending machine. Then the attendant will take your ticket and i...

👍👍 5/5 Me and my friends went here, there was a little bit of a wait (20 minutes) and there wasn't a big enough table for the 6 of us. Which was fine, so me and the other 2 got seated at the window seat (which was awesome!) The food was AMAZING this was the best udon I've ever had in my life! The servi...

👍👍 Oniyanma Shimbashi (2023.03) Highly recommended when you want to eat tempura udon at a cheap price while traveling. The tempura is crispier than expected and the udon soup is delicious. It opens at 7am and is close to Shimbashi Station. The store is a short walk from the KFC store. You pay at a ve...

👍👍 My favorite is the seafood tempura bowl. Each ingredient was fresh and plump, coated in a good amount of crispy batter. The other star was the onsen tamago, soft-boiled egg. The soba in set meal is just enough to have the hang of it. Worth visiting if you’re a fan of tempura.

👍👍 Really delicious soba, and the lunch portion is small, which is great because it leaves room for delicious soba pudding dessert. My wife and I were very happy with this find.

🫤 Massive theatric-sized bowl, generous size but short on flavor and texture. Cheap eats but the long line may not be worth your time. Next door, okonomiyaki Kiji may be a better bet.

Relaxed, compact restaurant specializing in udon noodles & tempura, plus cocktails.

👍👍 Soba noodles are always a delight to eat; thankful that this restaurant did not disappoint.

😠 ‘Please disinfect’ was asked upon entry. And after all this time they cannot let it go and treat everyone like germs from the moment you enter the place. And right after you’re seated they hand you a wet tissue, so asking to disinfect prior to that is just so utterly insulting. I’ve been coming here...

👍 I used it for the first time. The inside of the store has a homely atmosphere. It's not a high-end restaurant, it feels more like Marugame Seimen or Hanamaru Udon. I ordered "Tsubame Udon" (400 yen), "1 piece of tempura" (100 yen) and "onigiri" (100 yen). By the way, the price of udon is the same fo...

👍👍 It was my second visit here (the first one was 5 years ago), and I noticed they had The Peanuts Kakigori on the menu. Being a peanut lover, I couldn't resist trying it. I was slightly concerned that the peanut sauce might lack that touch of saltiness that makes all the difference, as I've experience...
