"Dish: Curry Udon Daichan is a tiny spot in Studio City that specializes in the kind of comforting Japanese food that tastes absolutely incredible after a bad week–like Japanese-style fried chicken, cold soba, and gigantic tempura rice bowls. That said, our go-to order is the spicy curry udon. This massive bowl of soup comes filled with thick, chewy udon noodles and marinated chicken all in an umami-rich, yet slightly sweet broth that never fails to reach down into the darkest parts of our psyche and make us instantly feel better." - brant cox, kat hong, nikko duren, sylvio martins
