TsuruTonTan UDON NOODLE Brasserie Roppongi

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

A Culinary Escape in the Heart of Roppongi – 5 Stars! Tsurutontan is more than just a restaurant—it’s a sanctuary of exquisite flavors and refined ambiance, tucked away in the bustling heart of Roppongi. From the moment you step inside, the elegant yet serene atmosphere transports you far from the lively city streets into a world of comfort and indulgence. The dim lighting, traditional Japanese decor, and the gentle hum of conversation create a tranquil space where you can truly relax and savor each bite. The star of the show, of course, is the udon. Served in their signature oversized bowls, each dish is a masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship. The noodles are impeccably smooth, with the perfect balance of chewiness and tenderness, absorbing the rich, flavorful broths beautifully. Whether you choose a classic kake udon, a creamy and decadent carbonara-style fusion, or a hearty curry udon, every bowl is an unforgettable experience. The ingredients are of the highest quality, from the umami-packed dashi to the fresh toppings that elevate each dish to perfection. Beyond the food, the service is impeccable—attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless from start to finish.

For an unparalleled udon experience that delights all the senses, this place is an absolute must-visit! As a Japanese, this is one of the best choice. You can’t miss this udon before exploring Japan. For us, it’s not cheap at the moment, but still has the quality to pay for it.

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!
