Really good udon! The Mentai Cream Udon was rich and creamy and had a good amount of mentaiko, but the actual udon was a little on the small side for the price. The Tonkotsu Deluxe Udon was much more generously proportioned and came with fish powder to be added to change the flavour of the soup for a more varied experience. Definitely want to try the uni udon next time!
Udon Mugizo was a delightful experience. Although they were out of their Signature Uni Udon when I went, the Smoked Salmon was a pleasant surprise that had lovely depth and was contained in a very light cream sauce although plenty rich in flavor. The restaurant was filled, and a line was out the door on a Monday night dinner, as I was on the wait-list for around 20 minutes. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, although on the louder end with all the conversation.
As for the meal, the creamy spinach sauce was surprisingly rich for a light consistency, and the green onions, seaweed, and ornamental sprouts added a decent amount of texture for the course. Some cheese grated on top of the cream added an additional layer of richness and flavor.
The udon noodles were well cooked and was able to pull delicious amounts of spinach-cream goodness with each bite.
The smoked salmon was a little one dimensional, but served its purpose as the protein of the course.
Overall, I couldn't come up with any significant downfalls of this dish as I was too busy slurping away. However, the dish was not memorable and didn't strike me as something I would be urging others to try, as I spent around $25 including tip. The largest table area I could spot could seat around 4 or 5. A nice date spot if you're having trouble picking, or a nice and quick solo meal!
Long lines but doesn't take really long. The Udon is pretty good. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu udon and a side of sweet potato tempura. The waiters were very patient and friendly. One thing I'd say I don't like is sitting in the middle and having a see through wall where people can hear your conversations, stare at you and your food lol.
Yummy udon. Sometimes a long line but usually it's been fine. You can always walk around and tour kinokuniya anyways if you're waiting to be seated.
Service here is good and the food is great too. Whether the cream udon or niku udon or the others, still so yummy. Apps are great too.
Enjoy!
After having been to Japan, it’s always difficult to eat Japanese food and not stick my nose up. However, the Udon here was a perfect mixture of traditional with a bit of US flair. I got the spicy cold bowl, and my friend got the seas urchin, which was a bit heavy on the cream, but still very good.
Only reason it’s not 5 starts, is they charge extra for spice, which is a bit silly IMO. Otherwise pricing was great and no line to get in. Will be back for sure when at the mall or going to the AMC.
