A great, cozy spot for udon in K-town! The inside of the restaurant is intimate, with the tables pretty close together. Service here is pretty fast and friendly. Their menu offers a variety of both hot and cold udons, and other Japanese appetizers. I got a dipping udon, beef udon, and takoyaki. The portions were huge here and the udon noodles were thick and juicy. The takoyaki toppings were a bit underwhelming, but they did have huge bites of octopus in them! Overall, a pretty good spot for some Japanese udon!

Personally i did not like the kimchi cream udon. I will never order it again. Hated the taste. But I do absolutely love their Mentaiko cream udon. I have come to their restaurant at least a 100 times to eat it.

I have walked by this place so many times in Koreatown but never stopped by. My friends and I decided to stop by for lunch around 2 pm on a Saturday - I made a reservation online but I believe you can walk in as well. They do get crowded for dinner though so if you have a larger group then I highly recommend making a reservation. The place itself has a good amount of seating, slightly cramped in the front but the back is more opened. The service was great - they were super quick to take our order and bring out our food. The menu were also a decent size. They have a good amount of udon dishes ranging from traditional udon dishes to dipping udon dishes. My friends and I all decided to get the Himokawa Udon in the hot option. It came with a side of handroll and I got the crab option. The handrolls were delicious. The noodle texture itself was pretty good - very nice and chewy. The soup based was lacking in a bit of flavor but otherwise pretty tasty. Overall - solid choice in koreatown if you are in the mood for noodles. Recommending stopping by!

Udon lab is a good place in Ktown if you're craving a warm noodle soup bowl. It's a solid place with good options, but in the city it's also easy to get good quality bowls of udon. With that being said, compared to other udon places I've visited, this was about average to me, but still good especially when you're craving something warm and comforting.Service was quick- I was able to make a movie with a little over an hour allowance for dinner.

Oh no, I really wanted to like this place, especially since coming to the Ktown area is both a bit of a trip and a treat.Sadly, the service here was pretty terrible. I was happy to sit by the bar counter, but it's kind of sad there. My server next came to check up on me after I ordered my food. I waited 20-30 minutes alone trying to pay for my food and to get out. I flagged people down to ask for my server and when I asked for my check, he forgot it and kept me waiting. It was unbelievable, like take my money and let me leave!I still tipped 18% because I'm a sappy sucker and my folks raised me to be a decent human being, but come on Udon Lab. It needs improvement.

My friend and I stumbled across this restaurant on a Saturday night when we were wandering around trying to find a place for a late-ish dinner.Everything was delicious! We started with the Brussel Sprouts, which were incredibly flavourful. My friend had the Pork Katsu and said it was hearty and tender. I had the Hiyashi Udon set, which came with a handroll (spicy yellowtail) and a cabbage salad. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a cold udon, but it worked thanks to the broth combined with scallions, tempura flakes and lemon to bring out all the flavours. The panna cotta made for a light, sweet finish.

Went with some friends on a Friday and it was packed!! Recommend getting a reservation.We got the sushi platter, gyoza and cucumber salad to start. The sushi platter was meh ( wouldn't get it again - would get it somewhere that actually specializes in sushi haha), the gyoza and cucumber salad were good but also not sure if I would get again.We tried the kimchi bacon udon, Niku udon, curry katsu udon and the winter special ( hot wide udon)The kimchi bacon udon was my favorite it was so good - i would recommend that!!

Went here for dinner and split 3 dishes- they were classic dishes but this restaurant elevated the dishes with unique flavors. Got the cream udon which was not too heavy and balanced the awesome seafood flavor well. The shishito peppers had awesome spiciness to them as well as great seasonings and ingredients on top. Lastly highly recommend the tuna tartare- it's bigger pieces that is poke-esque and a much better portion and flavor profile versus a classic tuna tartare.Prices were very fair and service was good. Good ambience. Recommend.

Convenient udon spot in ktown! Been here a couple times but my favorite thing is the mentaiko cream udon! The udon is nice and chewy while the sauce is creamy and bursting with umami. It's topped with extra mentaiko, nori, and chopped shiso leaf which is perfect for cutting through the richness. If you like mentaiko pasta you'll love their mentaiko cream udon. Also have tried the Katsu curry udon which is meh and the Niku beef udon which is good, but the mentaiko one is my favorite. Service is speedy, but it can get crowded quickly.
