The Hottest New Restaurants in Boston Right Now

"A sibling of a popular Cambridge udon joint just washed ashore in the Seaport. The gleaming new spot — with an udon machine imported from Japan, plus lots of light filtering in through floor-to-ceiling windows — is the perfect gallery for chef Tomohiro Shinoda’s artful noodles. The menu showcases bowls of both hot and cold udon noodles with flavorful broth (diner’s choice of cold or warm) that are topped with sliced beef and other goodies like grated ginger and Japanese pepper flakes. Slurp spicy or mild versions, and follow up your meal with dessert by Modern Pastry. Shinoda is expanding the menu soon, but for now you can enjoy just the classics." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
