Mikaku Udon Bar

The chicken curry udon was absolutely delicious, and the chicken karaage was excellent as well. The buta dish was also very enjoyable. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was outstanding. Definitely would come back!

TL; DR - Good flavour, poor portion. No extra noodle option, can't pack sauce separately from noodles for take-out. Not the best value. Had this restaurant marked on my map for a while now as there aren't many udon restaurants. Finally tried but got it to go. Ordered: Chicken Curry Udon. Veggie Udon and Spicy Creamy Seafood Udon. In terms of broth and sauce flavour for all three, they're actually tasty and worthy of another shot, but will try dining-in next time. My disappointment is in the micro portion of ingredients... It's like they cut half a tofu but paper thin to make it look like you have more... Same with the mushroom... And one premature baby bok choy. And just look at that micro chicken, which was dry and unsatisfying on its own. Again, probably the portion of one small thigh, but cut up ten times. That container isn't a regular size take-out one, it's the same as the diameter of the take-out bowl. Seafood udon actually had decent ingredients, few mussels and shrimps, though they should use larger ones. Bacon was.. maybe 1/4 of a strip? And it lacked flavour, wasn't crispy, didn't get incorporated into the sauce. Service wise, interesting choice to not have an option for ordering extra noodles... I was also afraid the noodles would be soggy by the time I got home, so I asked if the sauces could be packed separately. Wasn't allowed, but thankfully, the udon remained a nice chewy texture. Considering each udon is basically $20 (after tax), portions don't match price, but flavour does. Their site didn't mention about making the noodles in-house, so that's another strike against the premium pricing.

I'm a huge fan of their Mikaku Izakaya location and was excited to hear that they had an udon bar because their creamy spicy udon at the other location is to die for. The first time I had it was absolutely amazing and this place does it the same way. They even offer more other udon focus items either in a dry style or soup style and they all still taste very good. We got the creamy spicy udon, the oden soup udon, and a "onigiri" as an appetizer. My only dislike was just the onigiri which should have a different name because it's in a style that is very not onigiri at all. It wasn't bad, but ordering it as an onigiri I wasn't expecting a super saucy and salted rice to come out. Their location is quite small with limited seating, even smaller than the Izakaya location, but everyone was very nice and attentive.

I’ve always wanted to try this udon place. Finally got a chance to try it during weekday lunch time. I ordered the maze udon, it was really flavorful especially if you like green onion kinda thing. But your breath will be really bad afterwards lol. The maze udon came with rice so I was really full afterwards. My friends ordered buta udon and they found the portion quite small. The taste was good. The chicken karaage was also tasty but the portion is quite small as well. The decor was nice. Service was ok. The music was a bit loud so don’t expect to have a lot of conversations there 😆 Overall it was a nice experience but if you tend to have a bit appetite, be prepared to order more or go half full.

We always opt for Cart Noodles in this plaza but this time we finally got to try Mikaku Udon Bar! It’s a nice and satisfying bowl of goodness! Although the price seems high for the portion of food, it’s actually quite filling due to the nature of the udon - after you drink water or tea. Given the price though I only wished that the atmosphere and decoration would be a step up. Right now, the vibes are a little too casual for the price tag. The limited number of items on the menu and lack of availability of some of the items was also a little disappointing. Nevertheless, we’ll still come back next time - I think!

I came here a week ago and had such a lovely experience. The food was really delicious and so tempting. Everything was clean and well-prepared, and the atmosphere was calm and cozy. The hostess was incredibly sweet, and they even surprised me with a piece of cheesecake for Mother’s Day . it was so thoughtful and really tasty too!

We were craving some good udon and Mikaku Udon Bar nailed it for us. The Chicken Curry Udon was good. The chicken was crispy and delicious. The curry was rich and flavourful. The udon was perfectly cooked and soaked up that delicious curry sauce. The Spicy Cream Udon was delicious. The cream sauce was rich, savoury and went well with the udon and seafood. The Chicken Karaage was good. The chicken was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The small salad that came with the Chicken Karaage was good too. Overall, we enjoyed the udons and chicken karaage that we got as take out :)

Got the curry udon and the maze udon. Both were decent. The sauce coats the udon well and it was quite flavourful. I do not recommend the chicken karaage appetizer. Very small and more like a chicken popcorn. Overall it was not bad. If it was within a 5-10min drive I may consider going again
