"Even though Kuu has conceded somewhat to Portland’s seemingly unquenchable need for sushi, the heart of this Japanese restaurant lies firmly in its udon and soba noodle dishes. These chewy house-made noodles have real flavor, not just serving as a delivery vehicle for other tastes, and are topped with a range of restrained-but-umami-rich vegetables, proteins, and sauces. Pair with a saké flight or hot green tea in the serenely designed dining room filled with natural light." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
