"Order a perfect bowl of udon and tea for under $40 including tax and tip at this neighborhood Japanese noodle restaurant open for lunch and dinner with a second location in Soho. Here since 2016, chef Norihiro Ishizuka’s restaurant has assembled a menu of vegetables and gyoza, donburi, hot and cold udon in a soothingly minimalist space that’s on track to expand next door." - Eater Staff
