"Don Udon is a 13-seat udon shop with a chalkboard sign out front that simply reads, “Udon.” If you live in Crown Heights, you will feel highly territorial about it after one visit. They have both cold and hot udon, as well as rice dishes like gyudon and curry rice with pork. For the best of both worlds, go for a combo, like the kake udon combo. It comes with chewy noodles in a sweet, dashi-laced broth, and a bowl of warm rice covered in shiso and ikura." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
