Udon Kisuke

Blow my mind good udon. The noodles are chewy and perfectly cooked. The soup the right level of sweetness and saltiness. We had not the cold and hot udon. Both was delicious. You know when it is good when there is a line and the line is made out of locals. Try it and let me know what you think.

Mind blowing udon! This is our second time eating at this place and highly recommend trying the udon soup with beef and add a fish tempura to it. Absolutely delicious! They have an English menu, accept cash only and no pictures or videos are allowed except pictures of your food. They have a very short hours of operation so check it out before going. There is usually a line up outside. It’s a must try in Osaka!

Best udon I’ve ever tried. I ordered the simplest one but the others looked really good too. I waited 25 minutes in line, not that bad.

One the best udon I’ve ever tried… they have english menu as well. Everything is homemade and the taste of the noodle is incredible. If you are a big eater, choose to add-on noodle which a very well proportioned size. Luckily there wasn’t any queue when we reach and probably deserves to be more popular!

I really enjoyed the fun texture of the noodle! Definitely worth visiting--my waiting time was about 15 min. Ask them for the menu in Eng. I got a basic Udon(750y) w/ maitake mushroom tempura(250y).

I had the beef udon with fried fish cake and my friend had the cold udon with soft boiled egg and fried fish cake. We really enjoyed it, but expected a bit more udon. Other than that, it was a good experience. We waited about 40-45 minutes.

Really tasty udon; just the right firmness. I wanted to drink the whole dashi broth. We ordered a fishcake, tempura mushroom, soft boiled egg udon set and 2 beef udons. Ended up ordering another side order of fishcake and tempura mushroom because it was so unique and tasty. Had to line up for about 15 min around 11am on a weekday for 3 people. After we were eating the line was even longer, so get here early to avoid the wait.

Very local restaurant. This is the best udon restaurant in Osaka! Fresh udon! Tempura is also a must try here! Go and try by yourself! :)

Found this one Tabelog's top 100 in Osaka for Udon and the pictures seemed amazing. There's just something about handcrafted udon in a bowl that you can just tell from pictures alone that it's good. When I came here at 12:30pm on a Saturday and there was a 40 minute line, I knew I was right on the money. There is an English menu and they take your order right before you get into the door. I ordered the 1,300 yen udon that had beef and a soft-boiled egg (#21 at the time) and a sweet potato tempura (#C) and prawn tempera (#G) because I was hungry. Breakdown of the meal: Udon noodles -5/5 Broth - 4.5/5 Egg - 5/5 Beef 4/5 The noodles were a knock out! Fresh and delicious. The beef could use a bit of help. It was marinated but the marinate wasn't sweet enough and since it was thin cuts, there's not much taste backing the meat. The prawn tempura which you can dip in the broth is a knockout. The sweet potato tempera was nothing amazing Overall a solid experience! I would come back again if I need udon in Osaka.

One of the most delicious broths I've had . The noodle was the perfect texture. The broth was piping hot fr start to finish just the way I like it. I honestly inhaled the entire bowl. My daughter had the tempura prawn added to hers but I stuck with the beef udon, I'm not a fan of tempura anything. Tje beef was succulent and I still can't stop thinking of the broth, it was so amazingly good and clear. Warm and friendly staff, very attentive. There were not many people dining when we went but we heard it gets pretty crowded. Simple decor , there was a sign saying no pictures except for food so I respected that . I suppose it's especially for pics of other customers. Everything was perfect at this quick meal. Beef udon was 1250 yen and prawn was 350 yen. They serve hot or cold udon.

It's so hard for me to review places in Japan because I don't really have anything to compare it to. I mean, I'm from Hawaii and we have some amazing Japanese food there but a lot of it can't compare to Japanese food in Japan so I'm afraid it will take a little while for my reviews to be very useful, as far as taste goes :p That being said, I thought Udonya Kisuke was pretty good. The hours I see on yelp at the moment are wrong though so I'll see if I can update that in a bit.. But according to a sign they had posted, they are open from 12:00 (noon) until 9:00 at night. They are closed every Tuesday and the last Monday of the month. Okay back to the food itself- I ate here today with my host parents before heading to the bus station to head back to Shikoku. I got the tempura udon-which had a shrimp tempura and a gobo tempura- for 900¥. In my understanding of Japanese food in Japan, that's not cheap but not expensive also- it's average I suppose. The broth was piping hot when they brought our udon over. The winning factor for Kisuke is the broth. Their broth was pretty good and filled with flavor- especially for a broth that's so clear. I hate it when the broth is murky. It makes you wonder what's in it. The only problem I had with the taste was that the udon didn't seem to absorb very much of the broths flavor very quickly. The first few bites I took seemed pretty bland, but that's probably because it didn't have much time to soak in the broth because by the time I was half-way through, it was perfect. If you decide to come for lunch on a weekend, try to come early. We got there about 1:30. Shortly after we ordered, we noticed a line of paper waiting outside.
