Sanuki Udon

I'm impressed with this casual fast food udon place ! It's clean and has a nice warm feel to it first of all with a nice mural of WSP on one wall so it doesn't feel cheapThe concept is like a cafeteria. Grab a try and a plate for tempura you're having some, ask the noodle attendant what dish you want then walk passed a line up of tempura and plate what you want. Pay at the cashier. Turn around and you'll see where you get utensils as well as bowls for the tempura sauce and also there is condiments such as hot chile flakes , scallions , tempura flakes and other stuff. Also, complimentary hot oolong tea and water. I got the kake soup N1. It's a standard broth for 9 dollars. I also got shrimp tempura and a crab one as well as a tempura soft boiled egg. The egg was 3 dollars ! The shrimp are 2 a piece. Still a great deal. The broth was light and tasty but the noodles made the soup. Fantastic chew. The shrimp tempura was surprisingly good. So was the egg. The crab was a big thick piece of artificial crab. I really didn't like it as much as the shrimp. The egg is a nice compliment to the soup. All in all for 20 dollars I got a big bowl of soup, and 4 pieces of tempura and a can of coke for 20 bucks. It's a bargain. I had leftover soup and the takeout bowls etc are right by the condiments. Locals should keep this place in mind esp solo dinners for a comforting meal that won't break the bank.

This place is good for when you want some udon. I can probably eat about 10 of those crab stick tempuras. The fishcake udon wasnt for me or my taste preference cause it was on the sweet side and it wasnt what i was expecting. Tried a bunch of things and always go back to the tonkatsu udon and the crab stick tempuras on the side.Their packaging to go is always on point and neat. Love that part about this business.

Decent spot for a quick meal, if you're in the mood for udon, tempura, or both. The setup resembles a high school cafeteria -- come in, grab a tray, ask for a specific udon bowl, pick up some tempura, then pay at the cashier. Efficiency, ya know?The udon was fine, especially considering how quick it took to get from the kitchen to my mouth (just a minute or two). The tempura didn't particularly stand out, but again, for a quick service setup, I'm glad I got it.I'm sure the NYU crowd appreciates an affordable, hot meal in the area.

Pleasantly surprised by Sanuki Udon.I've tried fast food udon before and wasn't a fan, particularly by the cleanliness. This place didn't strike me in that same way fortunately, and it was quite orderly. I learned I'm not too into sweet soy sauce beef, so I stuck with Wakame Udon ($9.95), which had seaweed on top of the udon.The udon was pretty standard, I just wish they offered more broth. The star of my dish was the seaweed that made the meal extra comforting. The added tempura side dishes we got were all pretty good. I particularly liked the sweet potato balls and yam tempura. They also offered free tea and water!For a quick casual grab it yourself meal, I would definitely come again.

It was a good, quick eat. Definitely brought me back to a similar type of shop I went to in Osaka, but the food wasn't as amazing. A bit expensive but I think that's due to the location of the establishment. Otherwise, the people were friendly and there's ample seating for sitting with friends or discussions with ample white background noice. Lots of fried foods, but that's okay too because you can take a walk with your friends at the park :)

Stopped by for udon and the noodles were perfectly chewy with a great bite! The shrimp tempura was also solid. Would definitely come back for the udon!

Casual self served udon place. They make the udon in house and there's a window where you can see the chef making the noodles while you eat. I've been to the branch is Hawaii and this one tastes an operate very similarly.So you would go in, pick your noodles, pick your tempura and pay. Prices are pretty standard in New York although I felt tempura was a bit steep. Unfortunately, when I went there were several types of tempura that was empty that I wanted, and I didn't even have the option to wait for them to come out because the line moves fast and I had to pay before sitting down to eat.There's a place make your own tempura dip and getting utensils. Overall food was good and udon was perfectly chewy. The tempura was also very good with a good outer crunch. I felt the karaage a bit dry and tough.

I heard about this place since it was gaining traction in social media for its low prices. It's like a cafeteria style restaurant, where you get to add tempura to your own tray and choose one of their many udons. There's also a little condiment bar and dispensers for hot tea! The food also came out pretty fast, which is a huge plus if you're in a rush.I stuck with the dipping udon, which was such a good price for a very reasonable portion of noodles. It was also really delicious and had the perfect texture! The tempura left much to be desired since it tasted like it had been under the heating lamps for a while, and the batter was thicker/denser than I had wanted. Overall, it was a good experience, but I don't think I would come back to eat the tempura.

Was actually very disappointed. It seems like whenever a franchise opens up a restaurant in nyc it's usually not as good for some reason. I was super excited to try them because the one in Japan was great! We went close to closing time around 7:30pm so maybe that could be why it wasn't that fresh? Curry katsu udon 2/5: do not reco getting this, barely any soup, udon too soft, and katsu was overly soggy from the curryBeef udon 3.5/5: this was wayyyy better than the curry katsu since you don't have to worry about the meat getting soggy and there's more soup in this one for you to enjoy What we did enjoy is when you spend over $40 you get a wooden utensil set, cup, or tote bag!

Worth getting out of the cold to enjoy a bowl of udon. Noodles are made on site which is a nice touch. Staff is courteous.
