The Best Takeout in SF - Eater SF
"Ramen tends to get all the love, but if you need to be reminded of the pleasure that can be wrought by a bowl of udon — those thick and springy, wheat-based noodles also of Japanese origin — look no farther than Udon Mugizo. It’s a Japantown standby, and I’ll be honest, I just love wandering the echo-y, winding halls of the aging malls on a Sunday afternoon. And even if there’s a 45-minute wait for a bowl of ramen right across the way, you can usually get a table at Udon Mugizo within a reasonable amount of time. The uni-topped option was sold out on both of my recent visits (I’m really into this dish, y’all) but the mentai cream sauce makes a more-than-acceptable backup choice. This highly slurpable tangle of fresh noodles delivers creamy, cheesy flavor that’s brightened with a flurry of green onion and seaweed and pops of salty roe. It’s comforting and somehow a little bit decadent at the same time." - Eater Staff
