100 Restaurants Before Leaving America Challenge

Tsuru Ton Tan - A Japanese Noodle Haven! 🍜✨ 📍 Tsuru Ton Tan, NYC – As someone who usually prefers Western cuisine, this Japanese udon spot has shocked me by becoming the only restaurant I’ve visited three times and still crave more. Each visit leaves me more obsessed—here’s why! ✨ Must-Try Dishes: 🍜 Wagyu Eggplant Tantan Udon – Spicy, savory, and rich with melt-in-your-mouth beef and eggplant. 🍣 Wagyu Sushi – Buttery perfection (but too few bites—I need 10 more!). 🍣 Salmon Sushi – Topped with avocado and a spicy kick—flavor explosion. 🦀 Truffle Crab Crème Udon – Black truffle + crab + creamy broth = umami heaven (not as heavy as it sounds!). 🍲 Deluxe Sukiyaki Udon – Classic, comforting, and impossible to mess up. 🍸 Cocktails Worth Trying: 🍹 Cucumber Mint Sake – Refreshing and herby (mint lovers, rejoice!). 🍸 Lychee Sake – Sweet and floral—like summer in a glass. 💡 Why It’s Special: • Consistently amazing – No bad visits in three tries. • Perfect for solo diners or groups – Cozy but lively. • Tokyo vibes – Rumor says it’s also in Ginza (if I ever move back to Asia, I’ll check!). 💭 Final Thought: If I ever leave NYC, my last meal will be here. No regrets. Perfect for: 🍜 Udon addicts 🍣 Sushi lovers 🎉 "I need comfort food NOW" days 📍 Tsuru Ton Tan – Where every bowl feels like a hug from Tokyo. #NYCEats #TsuruTonTan #JapaneseFood #UdonLover #NYCRestaurants #ComfortFood #NYCFoodie #100RestaurantsChallenge
