Taking Nico's suggestion, I decided to try out the lunch menu at Dozo. I was surprised at how well this restaurant was able to combine Italian and Japanese flavors together. I ordered a plate of udo...
Don't be afraid of the line that wraps around Maru Kame - it moves very fast. I once arrived behind 40 people and was eating my lunch within 20 minutes. Maru Kame is an udon buffet of sorts. A simple ...
Just had lunch here today with girlfriend and boys. As you can see, everyone was enjoying their bowl. Staff is not so English friendly, but the menus are and the food is wonderful. It was a perfect me...
I love Norabow!

Muginbo is a popular spot for classier business people to grab a quick lunch. You'll find it packed during the lunch hour, and full of people in snappy business suits. Be prepared to sit at a table wi...
On the busy, giggling Takeshita you can find the stairwell leading down into this udon shop. The food isserved cafeteria style, you choose what broth you want and are handed the bowl and can then pick...
I rather liked the place, for the atmosphere and of course the gigantic bowls. Big enough to fit your face into and similar giant wooden spoons to match. Otherwise, the udon tastes like any other kind...

Tongarashi is a small little soba and udon with tempura shop that is run by an old couple. One thing that really sticks out about this place is the prices. Most of the meals were about 350-400yen fo...
This udon place is special because they sell not just hot udon, but warm and cold udon as well. It’s not hard to find, and it’s quite close to the station too. The restaurant is relatively small, ...
Strangely, I have had better handmade udon noodles than the bowl served at this establishment. I say this because that particular Sangenjaya restaurant actually showed its customers the full cycle of...
Sanuki Komachi obviously caters to customers who are in a hurry. The restaurant basically a small cafeteria that offers only tempura, udon and onigiri. There are baskets of tempura and onigiri. You si...
When I find a restaurant with a line trailing out the door, I assume that I've found a good spot. It's kind of a common sense rule, but it doesn't always hold. I went to Sakata, and indeed had to wait...
This udon shop specializes in sanuki udon, a dish originating in the Kansai area and slowly spreading its way across Japan. Here, they managed to bring authentic sanuki udon straight to Tokyo without...
This inaniwa udon shop is in a basement off Hikawa Zaka Street, not far from Akasaka Station. The interior has a black base with accents made of Japanese cedar, lending the shop a chic atmosphere. T...
