"Tsurutontan is big in Japan, and their first location in the US is right here on 16th Street. (There’s also one in Midtown.) It’s famous for udon, which comes in all kinds of varieties—thin, thick, in soup with wagyu beef, covered in uni, etc. One bowl of noodles is enough for a meal, but the menu is filled with appetizers worth trying as well. The space is dark, and modern, and it could work for a casual dinner or a nicer one." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren
