TsuruTonTan UDON NOODLE Brasserie Roppongi

How is this place only rated 4.1!!?? Amazing experience, beautiful view of Tokyo, super affordable as well (Maybe about 1500 yen for a HUGE bowl of udon). Superb atmosphere, and there were a lot of locals. Fantastic place, definitely recommend. Btw, try getting the circular-couch tables near the window, those are great.

As a food lover exploring a new city, I stumbled upon a popular franchise udon restaurant that’s clearly a local favorite—and a hit with tourists too. The place is known for its wide variety of udon dishes, all served in impressively massive bowls that are as satisfying as they are eye-catching. It’s well-organized and tourist-friendly, offering queueing and menu options in four major languages, which makes the whole experience smooth and welcoming. If you’re visiting the city, this spot is definitely worth checking out—both for the flavors and the fun of diving into a giant bowl of hearty, delicious udon.

From the moment we stepped into TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie, we knew we were in for something special. This isn’t your average noodle shop — it’s a sleek, stylish udon sanctuary that blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary flair. The menu is a love letter to udon lovers. Whether you're a purist craving classic broth or an adventurer ready to dive into creamy, spicy, or even truffle-infused variations, TsuruTonTan delivers. We tried the Mentaiko Cream Udon and the Beef Sukiyaki Udon, and both were next-level. The noodles were thick, chewy, and perfectly slurpable — handmade and impossibly fresh. Presentation is on point, too. The bowls are massive and beautifully plated, making each dish feel like a culinary event. Portions are generous (you can even choose how many servings of noodles you want — dangerous, in the best way). The sides and cocktails are no afterthought either — the crispy karaage, wagyu sushi, and craft drinks complemented the meal flawlessly. The vibe is intimate but buzzing. Dim lighting, cool décor, and a trendy soundtrack give the space an upscale brasserie feel while keeping it casual enough for a spontaneous dinner or night out with friends. Service was warm and professional — quick with recommendations and always attentive. If you're looking for a spot that elevates udon to an art form while still keeping it soul-satisfying and cozy, TsuruTonTan is an absolute must. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit.

One of the best restaurants my husband and I visited on our one month honeymoon in Japan, and we went to MANY, across Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kanazawa and Hiroshima. We stumbled upon this place by accident around 9 pm, after a long day of walking. We were both exhausted and hungry. The restaurant is on a higher floor and a polite gentleman downstairs lead us to the elevator. When we came upstairs, there was a wait (about 30 min) but there were seats so we waited comfortably. Upon being seated, we immediately noticed how well decorated the restaurant was. It felt like a restaurant of high caliber, though the prices of the dishes were cheap. Because of this, we ordered more dishes to try. We had 2 different ramens (one creamy broth and one light broth), dumplings, cucumbers, and tofu. Everything was DELICIOUS and served in very elegant bowls and dishes. I was blown away by my creamy dish and finished it completely. Their cucumbers were refreshing and spicy, their dumplings had a chewy texture due to the udon dough which was surprisingly pleasant and the tofu was probably the tastiest and silkiest I’ve EVER had. We were so happy with our decision to come here. The service, food, and atmosphere were fantastic and we only paid about $58 for all the food we got. We highly recommend this restaurant!

JAN 2025 Came here before dinner time and waited about 40 minutes for a table. The restaurant is pretty big with a main dining area, some counter seats, and another dining area down the corridor. Ordering is via the touch pad and I had the thinly sliced shabu beef loin curry udon. All their udon is served in an oversized bowl which gives an illusion of eating a very large portion. The beef loin has some marbling and was very soft, you can easily finish it in one bite. The curry soup was slightly thick, enough to stick onto the udon; it was flavorful with barely any heat. Udon was thick but texture was on the softer side, preferred if it was slightly more springy. Overall pretty tasty but not worth queuing for more than ten minutes.

Really nice vibe—almost like fine dining with cool decor. The udon was super tasty, and they served it in this massive bowl that looked fancy, even though the portion was just right. We went around dinner time and the line was pretty long. The wait itself wasn’t too bad, but the waiting area is small, which kind of sucked after walking around all day. Still, definitely worth checking out if you're craving good udon in a stylish spot.

Fine dining at normal prices! We did wait a while, but it wasn’t too bad. The food was delicious and servings were generous. Udon noodles were very well made and cooked. Sashimi and sushi side dishes were fresh and tasty. Cocktail drinks were absolutely sensational. Our overall dining experience was amazing. The big space, ambience and music made everything feel fine dining. The prices were very reasonable.

This place has a good vibe. The portion size of the bowl is Huge! Located at Roppongi it's a nice place to go out with bunch of friends. The food was good too. Overall as a tourist I liked it a lot!
