"The Japanese udon chain’s first international outpost, housed in the original Union Square Cafe location, features a wide array of its flagship noodles. They’re available in two different thicknesses, and for any of the myriad versions, choose between regular and larger sizes with no additional cost for getting a heftier portion. The spicy tan tan ground pork with a sesame broth that’s got a bit of heat is a highlight. While there are a couple of richer fusion creations, the restaurant also offers some lighter, broth-based options." - Alexandra Ilyashov
