I'm a big fan of Udon!!! I'm very happy to find a restaurant specialized in making Udon. And it's in uptown instead of downtown lol
Located on Yonge st close to Finch, MeNami is on the corner of Holmes Ave with a quite unique door that you will never miss. I made a reservation three days before for six people. We've been given to a nice window view seat,Lucky:)
The appetizers taste good and the price is ok in terms of the portion. The Corn Kaki-age is a must try. I like the crunchy deep fried corn with their sweet mayo. Tako Wasa is a very summer dish with a very refreshing wasabi flavour. I'll say if more wasabi will be even better. Chicken Kara-age is average. Spicy salmon is my least favourite. The texture of the salmon is not bad but the spicy flavour kind of overcomes the fish taste itself.
Their Udon is awwwwewsome!!! Different from frozen udon, the texture of the fresh made udon is chewy and firm. Nice and perfect!My order is Curry Udon with Shrimp Tempura. I like the strong taste of Japanese curry base, with freshly deep fried shrimp. Dipping the tempura into the curry taste even better. Their Spicy Cold Udon is definitely perfect for summer time. Not that spicy but quite refreshing flavour is very appetizing.
Right, you are able to find some popular Japanese beer like Asahi. Their House Sake is not bad.
