Best Udon in and Around Boston - Eater Boston

"Tsurutontan’s love for noodles is in its name — “tsuru” refers to the sound of slurping noodles, “ton” to the sound of the kneading and shaping, and “tan” to the cutting of the udon. In addition to house-made noodles featured in over 20 different udon dishes (sesame fans: try the spicy tan tan), the restaurant also serves “udon pon dumplings,” which are made from an udon dough and served with a spicy crunchy chile sauce. Come hungry: Tsurutontan — which is part of a chain with roots in Japan — offers huge portions. Tsurutontan is open for indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber
