"There’s no better way to get over your horrible new haircut (other than finding a new hairstylist) than by heading to Katsuo + Kombu in NoPa. Stroll up to the counter and choose anything from their simple menu of nine Fukuoka-style udon bowls. The housemade noodles are thin and chewy, and when the rich dashi broth (made of katsuobushi and wild kombu) is poured over, you’ve got a winning combination. Go for the spicy tan tan dry noodles with juicy kurobuta pork or the Fukuoka signature topped with massive pieces of crispy burdock root tempura." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
