Sanuki Udon

I stopped by Sanuki Udon and tried the shrimp tempura, beef and rice, and beef udon. The noodles had a nice texture, and the broth had good flavor. The shrimp tempura was crispy, and the beef was tender and tasty. I also got the chicken onigiri, which was really good. The prices here are great, you can get a lot of food for under $50. It’s a popular spot for college students since it’s close to campus. It can get busy, but the service is fast, so you don’t wait long for your food. It’s a solid place to grab a meal alone or with friends.

The food was mediocre at most. Came here for the first time and was hoping for something good. It’s a self-serving restaurant. I’m not sure if the person in the front speaking English or not, because after I gave her my order for the noodles, she looked at me and asked me to point out the one I just ordered on the menu with pictures. That was weird. The texture of the udon was nice and chewy. The flavor of the curry was nice, but I think they put too much starch in it, and it was too gluey. The pork katsu looked burnt and it was extremely tough and dry. You can see the muscle fibers in the photos. I also got a bunch of tempura. I got shrimps, chicken karaage, and a fried soft boiled egg. The fried chicken was also extremely dry. You can also see the layers on the inside, and that makes m

The food was a bit disappointing. I love Sanuki udon and Japanese-style tempura, but the udon wasn’t warm and the tempura had no heat at all. The staff, however, were friendly and helpful. Other than the lower price compared to NYC spots that make fresh noodles, nothing really stood out. Since it’s right by the school, it seems like a convenient place for students to grab a quick meal or chat with friends, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to visit.

Sanuki Udon is a great spot and a popular go-to for NYU students. The restaurant feels very nice and cozy inside. The food is delicious and full of flavor. It is a perfect place to grab a great meal.

We visited Sanuki Udon on a Saturday night. Service was quick and efficient and their customer service gets the job done. We ordered the beef udon, shrimp tempura, white rice, and chicken karaage. The udon in our case was very oily. Udon soup is known to be light and something nice to sip on. However, I had to keep wiping my mouth because of how oily it is. Noodle texture is great and it’s an alright portion size. Beef is very fatty and not of great texture or flavor. Overall, we paid $50, drinks included, which I thought was a bit too pricey, considering it’s supposed to be a quick place to eat. Overall, this is a fast-food udon spot and the quality of the food reflects that. Not sure I’d go out of my way to get here but definitely not a to-go spot.
