Yamashita Honki Udon - Shibuya Namikibashi

Found this restaurant by accident but it turned out great. I ordered the Udon set, and chose beef for the topping of the Udon and it tastes just amazing. The broth of the soup is great and the meat was just the right amount. The mentaiko rice that came along in the set was also surprisingly well matched with the Udon. I ordered an extra squid tempura because I want some tempura, and it also tastes amazing.

A nice place to grab some udon. The decor is nice and very homey, and the selection of options is bigger than your typical shop. They also offer rice dishes to accompany your udon. I went with the beef udon and it was tasty. The noodle was not too chewy but chewy enough. You gotta add some 七味 to kick up the flavor. The service was fast and the staff friendly.

Was looking for local udon and found this! Nice clear udon soup. Broth nice n clear! The udon just to the point!

Great place for freshly made udon noodles when in shibuya area! Worth the short walk from the train station! Away from the crowd. The udon was chewy and fragrant! And the restaurant offered cold, hot and even special creamy style of cooking! Service was friendly and fast. Be prepared to wait some on weekdays lunch from 12 noon onwards!

The Udon here is fresh and delicious, and to my ignorant tourist ways, just as good as those trendy Udonya with a two hour line out front. It’s a bit far from Shibuya, on the southeast side (pretty much the opposite of the Crossing), so it’s very affordable. While they have an English menu, the staff will have a bit of trouble. I didn’t think they were as used to tourists. That said, Google Translate does wonders…. The Curry Udon is fantastic. I also really like the Zaru Udon (dipped) in the summer.

Though not as chewy as Kyoto udon, still very well made. I love the currybonara sauce and the beef is SO tender and sweet. The tempura - like chikuwa, ebi etc go so well with the curry too. 🍤 We also tried hojicha cream udon, that was a bit heavy 😱 but still interesting!

The noodle is vey good texture. The food come in good portion. You can even upsize for bigger noodle portion. I had normal one and we are very full. Everything taste so good. They have english menu. staff were very helpful.

Probably the best udon I have ever had. If you like the creamy taste, then this place is for you. I usually don't enjoy the taste of mentaiko, but when I ordered the Cream cheese mentai udon (pictured), I was surprised at how perfectly it worked together. With the additional karaage plate, I paid around 1500 yen. Worth visiting every time you are around the Shibuya area. I will definitely come again!
