"A noodle shop located within the Hotel Commonwealth in Fenway’s Kenmore Square." - Erika Adams
"It’s not the only Japanese dining option within the Hotel Commonwealth as Japan-based udon chain Tsurutontan opened there two and a half years ago." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Tsurutontan’s love for noodles is in its name — “tsuru” refers to the sound of slurping noodles, “ton” to the sound of the kneading and shaping, and “tan” to the cutting of the udon. In addition to house-made noodles featured in over 20 different udon dishes (sesame fans: try the spicy tan tan), the restaurant also serves “udon pon dumplings,” which are made from an udon dough and served with a spicy crunchy chile sauce. Come hungry: Tsurutontan — which is part of a chain with roots in Japan — offers huge portions. Tsurutontan is open for indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber
"A Japanese restaurant chain specializing in udon noodles is now open in Kenmore Square. Tsurutontan, which has roots in Osaka and has a dozen outposts throughout Japan, opened inside the Hotel Commonwealth last week. The star of the show at Tsurutontan is the thick, slippery udon noodle: Its menu features more than a dozen varieties, including beef udon in dashi broth, cold udon made with a spicy sauce and caviar, and lots more." - Terrence Doyle
"Coming up later this fall, in addition to the new Ittoku location: Udon-focused, Japan-based chain Tsurutontan will open in Boston’s Kenmore Square." - Dana Hatic
