UDON Dadeland — Restaurant in Kendall

Fresh noodles, yes, please! Found this place on Instagram and wanted to try it. The food was a little disappointing. We ordered a few different dishes and some were fabulous while others fell flat. We could see the alcoholic beverages being served in cool cups that were different characters.

The salmon thai salad was our favorite as well as the nebayaki Udon which we got switched out to because the kimchi one we originally ordered was EXTREMELY salty. We had mentioned it several times to our server who just ignored it. Finally, we asked her directly if she could bring us a different broth for us to scoop our noodles into because this one was too salty. She got help from someone else and he was able to replace our kimchi udon for the nabeyaki and that tasted much better. The tiger shrimp tempura was very disappointing. We ordered it because it looked like it was a generous portion and it looked so tasty, but when we received it we realized that it was mainly filler vegetables that were the deep fried and there was barely any shrimp. Also, it was a little on the sweet side. The yaki Udon was not very innovative as it was just stir fry with premade teriyaki and yaki soba sauce that was a little too tangy tasting. We tried the black truffle Udon as well. It was mushy and crumbly. Not what we were expecting at all. The marinated chicken in the dishes was not great. The chicken was crumbly and broken which created a weird texture in the dishes. Also, the vegetables were sliced so small that they were overcooked and soft in the dishes.

Ambiance. Oh my. The music is loud and obnoxious and the screen with fish is so relaxing until it's not. It kept flashing lights and creating such an unpleasant effect that made you feel like you were gonna get a seizure at any given moment.

The servers were nice but the service is lacking. They don't really hear or read between the lines. Many will walk past you even though you're looking at them directly in the eye and trying to get their attention so that you can ask for things like napkins.

Double check your receipt as we were almost overcharged and if we didn't catch it, our server would not have.

So unfortunate, as we were so excited for a real Udon...

The food was so good! I got a pork dumpling as an appetizer that were good but the truffle chicken udon was absolutely amazing! I cleaned my plate. The restaurant has a nice and relaxing vibe, with nice lofi music which adds to the nice chill vibe. The interior is also filled with cool little knickknacks like lucky cats and sumo wrestlers and the bar has a really cool tv system that shows cherry blossoms and more chill imagery. The service was impeccable! I knew I wanted Udon but I didn’t know which to get and Albany, my waitress/bartender made an expert recommendation with the truffle chicken udon. The service is also very quick I got my food in a very timely manner and the staff are very nice and patient. I would highly recommend...

I remember trying UDON in Wynwood and was so excited to see one in Dadeland Mall after getting a few tasks done around the mall. What an amazing way to treat myself to a delicious meal. Always love the truffle udon noodle dish. The drinks are very creative, delicious, and creative with the decor and designs. A very fun, comfortable, and delicious dining experience with great service too. I also really appreciate the cleanliness of the restrooms, probably some of the nicest I've seen in a long time in Miami to be honest! Great spot to check out with friends or for...
