Tsurutontan Udon Noodle Brasserie

We came here on a snowy evening nyc and warmed us with their big bowls of udon. this situation was huge with several etagens compared to the traditional one we last eat in kyoto. the large menu included sushi, rice dishes and of course a large selection of udons from creams, curries, traditional and upscale truffles and wagyu bark. from Monday to Friday there was a happy hour discount (a few dollars off) on most appetizers and udon dishes menu. the Wagyu-Rind-Udon was so rich and a standout with truffles. also the regular bark was good. noodles were chewing and plentiful in a Dashi bruth. the tempura was slightly fried and one of the tastier tempuras we ate in the awhile. on the side, it came with garnel, sweet potato, shiitake and enoki mushrooms, seaweed. service overall was fast and good. the next time will come during the happy hour.

Very popular restaurant, absolutely before going to reserve. we missed our reservation because of parking problems and were on the first stage all the way in the back right next to the toilet. the food was in order, fast service. uni could have been cleaned better.

Large eating, large portions, low prices (especially mon to wed with all day happy hour), large number of options including sushi, sashimi and appetizers, beautiful ambiente and decorations especially close to the bar, clean. I would definitely repeat it. they also have separators between each table. we had the spicy garlic chicken and shrimp dumping for beginners and both were really good. for the entree I had the truffle-cream-Udon noodles and it was amazing. the broth was creamy, rich and tasteful, the nudel had a big bite and there was a good amount of mushrooms and crumbs. all in my group loved eating and three of us packed the rest due to the great portions.

Very fill big bowl of udon. I got spicy tantan(acidified swarm w/sesame oil), but it was not spicy, had two or three schishito paprika already inside, but tangy instead and a lil over salty. would come back to try other udons. I added appetizer schishito paprika and soy garlic in my udonen broth, when everything came, it was good, but only his salty. service waa good host and everyone was nice. pricy but his manhattan so not too bad.($50 3things)

This was by far the best bowl of udon I’ve very had. The sukiyaki beef was unbelievably flavorful and the beef itself was delightfully cooked. It was around medium, really tender, which is such a delight since so many souls will end up a little tough if overcooked. The sushi was solid, definitely really fresh. The udon is the real star of the show though! Highly, highly recommended. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, too.
