Customer Reviews
The noodles arrived faster than anticipated. Great meal on a cold winter day. We each had a different bowl of udon. The appies were crispy and the mushroom was hearty. I enjoyed the abundance of seaweed in my bowl. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Would return.
Tried their TenTofu Udon (Cold) which comes with 2 prawn tempura, fried tofu and tempura egg. It was my first time trying their cold udon and it did not disappoint. The dish was refreshing and noodles cooked with just the perfect amount of chewiness. Also ordered the Curry Tomago Toji, Shiitake tempura and a side of Ika tempura. All were good and would order again.
I had a great time dining here at Motonobu Udon. The udon is delicious and the service was friendly and fast. Definitely would come back here for udon.
Be prepared to wait if no reservations and they will call when your table is ready. We were dine to sit in our car and waited about 15-20 minutes on a Sunday night. We ordered the salmon aburi which melted in my mouth. We had different opinions on the mazementai udon which is a popular dish. It was neat to see them make the fresh udon and delicious too. Our particular dish had little broth and served warm and hot. Because our dish also had a poached egg it then made the sauce more thick. The portion size is very good but after eating the dish you felt full like it was just sitting and waiting to digest.
