| - I've quickly fallen in love with this place...It's cheap, delicious, authentic, and just plain good and satisfying.
Hidden (or not so hidden) in the Village By the Grange food court across from OCAD, this small Japanese noodle shop has never disappointed. The service is pretty speedy considering the hordes of hungry and sleep-deprived students that patronize them every lunch hour and super friendly to boot. An average bowl of udon will cost you $8 with tip, and if you order some extras in your udon, and sides (like takoyaki or onigri to share with friends) your bill will still be under the $15 mark which I think is EXCELLENT.
I usually have the Niko Udon (beef broth with onions, sliced beef, and udon noodles) which is oh-so yummy...the broth is perfectly seasoned, noodles are fresh and sfot, and the beef is wonderfully flavourful and tender. I also tried the curry udon once which was really good and a different touch if you're a little tired of the regular. I have yet to try the famous takoyaki but I've had the onigiri which comes piping hot to your table and super yummy and fun to share with friends. Everything else described by other Yelpers sound really tasty and can't wait to try some more.
The service, food, and price can't be beat...This place is the most wonderful low-key and satisfying udon place in the city. I dare you to dislike it here.
