Udon Taira — Restaurant in Fukuoka

10/10. Literally the best udon I've had in my entire life. I ate the burdock tempura and beef udon. Udon was very soft and tender but does not feel like it is soggy / left to soak for too long. Flavour was overall very well balanced. The soup was not overly salty. The sweetness of the beef complemented the soup very well. The crispiness of the burdock was a welcoming change of texture.

There was a short queue outside when I went but it clears pretty fast, as it's not exactly the kind of place to sit and have a long catch-up and everyone eats quickly and leaves. The staff will call you in. Once inside, put money into the ticket machine, press the button for whatever you want to order, and pull the "change return" lever to return whatever balance is left from the money you put inside.

My only regret was not ordering the chicken rice, which I saw many locals eating.

My memory of this udon alone is enough to make me want to go back to Fukuoka. Thank you for the...

Beef and burdock 700Yen. Fishcake and burdock 600yen. Rice 150yen. I recently dined here and tried the fish cake and burdock udon, along with the beef and burdock udon, and a side of rice. The dishes were simply delectable with a light and flavorful soup base that really hit the spot. Both the rice and udon noodles were cooked to perfection, boasting an ideal texture.

During the lunch hour, there was a slight wait, and it could potentially be longer, so I'd recommend avoiding peak times if possible. Nonetheless, the staff were incredibly friendly and efficient in serving the food. Overall, a highly recommended spot for udon...

Best freshly made udon noodles I've had in Japan. It cost 570 yen for the bowl you see (beef + tempura veg). I went shopping in the morning and then came here at 3pm. I did not have to wait but there was a steady flow of people still coming in. Quick turnaround - I was in and out within 15 minutes. Very friendly service and as mentioned in other reviews, no English menu but the waitress recommended me the beef and tempura as their most popular. Loved seeing the noodles made fresh in front of me. Wish I had time to...
