Muteki Udon & Ramen

The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn

"Muteki Udon has noodles with the tensile strength to replace a basketball net, and this Flatbush Ave. restaurant—complete with a red torii gate inside—should be on your radar for a meal around Barclays Center. The handmade udon is perfectly chewy, and the mentaiko cream broth has bright notes of citrus, while a vegetarian mushroom version is fantastically savory. You can round out your order with bites like salmon tartare with chips made from their matcha-infused udon, but really, you’re there for soupy stuff. In an area without a ton of homemade food, Muteki stands out." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
