Wow the Korean Spicy Udon packs a punch... I'm a fan of spicy, but in reality I have a very moderate level of spicy I can tolerate, and this definitely had me sweating at the end. I will have to come back and try some of their other udons on my next trip back to the city.

It's crazy the amount of times I've walked past this restaurant and never really thought of stopping in the try them out, until this past winter. Now I've seen what I have been missing out on all these years and have returned a few more times. I ordered the Winter Warmer ($15), which is essentially flavored hot Sake (Junmai) with lemon maple syrup and cinnamon. It's pretty tasty and a great alcoholic drink for the winter. My fiancee didn't want to drink alcohol so she ordered the Rozu Chamomile ($9), which is a pretty refreshing, non-caffeinated, and tasty drink made with chamomile, rose, and lychee. We started off with the 3 Hand Roll Combo ($21) which comes with Negi Toro, Truffle Salmon, and Garlic Scallop. These were surprisingly really good and would get these again. The Sashimi Platter ($27) on the other hand was not really worth it. For entrees, we shared two things. The Hot Himokawa ($27), which is their flat wide noodles. It comes with a small hot soup that you dip your noodles in. This also includes one shrimp tempura and a choice of a spicy yellowtail or crab hand-roll. A pretty good deal if you ask me and it's filling. The noodles are made to order and you can even see them making the noodles in the noodle station in back of the restaurant. Always a fan of freshly made noodles and you can taste it in this dish. The other entree we order was the Niku Gobo ($22) Gobo is a burdock root, which supposedly helps with inflammation, skin disorders and blood sugar stabilization. This particular dish is served with beef niko udon, with a poached egg, nori, and scallions. The Gobo appears deep fried, which is placed on top of the dish and it's pretty greasy when you attempt to rip it apart to consume, which tasted good. The noodle dish itself was super flavorful and rich where I ended up taking the flat noodles from the Hot Himokawa and started dunking it here. A full meal isn't with dessert. We got the Panna Cotta ($9) which is their house-made milk pudding with melted brown sugar. Nice and sweet and delicious.

GOOD! It's my first time trying udon in nyc and I would say it's pretty good! The noodles were the perfect texture, being a bit chewy and tasted very fresh. We ended up getting the hiyashi (cold udon with cold booth), dipping udon and vegetable udon. All there good, the vegetable udon was a bit on the sweeter side while the rest are more savory. It's a good place for a quick bite and when it's late. Rating: hiyashi udon - 4/5 dipping udon - 4/5 vegetable udon - 3/5

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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.
