Mikaku Udon Bar | The Udon That Made Me Abandon All Self-Control 🍜💥

I *rarely* do solo restaurant shoutouts—but this udon spot? Worth breaking the rules for. 😤🔥 I come here *every month* like clockwork. Below, my *unfiltered* udon rankings (all 5 tried & tested!): 🍜 The Udon Lineup (No Rankings—Just Pure Love) 1️⃣ Spicy Seafood Cream Udon 🌊🔥 The *signature* dish, but *not* my personal fave. Super rich and creamy (might overwhelm lighter eaters). Comes with *generous seafood* and 3 bread slices (??). Good, but *one-note heavy*. 🦐🍞 2️⃣ Chicken Curry Udon 🍛🐔 *Japanese curry lovers, rejoice!* Thick, aromatic sauce + crispy chicken cutlet + onions (no potatoes, oddly). Creamy but *not* cloying—better balance than the seafood. 🏆 3️⃣ Beef Brisket Udon 🐄✨ *Soupless* style with bonito flakes dancing on top! Sauce was *forgotten* (too busy eating), but warning : Gets *salty* toward the end. 🧂😅 4️⃣ Oden Udon 🍙💖 MY HOLY GRAIL. Visited *twice in a row* for this. The broth? *Clean, savory, zero MSG thirst*. Packed with *flavor-soaked oden skewers*—perfection . 🥢❤️ 5️⃣ Herbal Chicken Udon 🍗💀 A *whole chicken leg* stares at you. Comes with a *mystery fried rice cake* (delicious, no questions). Broth is *surprisingly flavorful*… but where’s the "herbal" besides 2 sad red dates? 🤡 🍢 Snacks (Meh Edition) - Beef Tartare : Skip. *Not bad*, but *nowhere near* Korean tartare spots. 🐮❌ - Takoyaki : Basic. *I’m just not a ball guy.* 🐙🥲 - Soft Tofu Salad : *Tasteless* greenery. Ordered out of guilt. 🥗😅 - Tako Wasabi : *Tiny octopus bits* + nuclear wasabi. Cleared my sinuses *for life*. 🐙💥 🍮 Dessert (Hidden Gem!) Matcha Cheesecake (Daily Special): *Not too sweet, ultra-velvety*. Even *non-dessert people* (me) licked the plate. 🍵✨ 📍 Address : 229 Carlton St., Toronto Pro Tip : Go *hungry*. Portions are no joke . 💰 *Price*: ~$20-30 per person (udon *worth every penny*). #TorontoLife #TorontoFood #UofT #UdonAddict #TorontoEats
