We tried the one at University Ave before, and we wanted to try the Capitol One. Parking was a nightmare on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Foos was good and reasonable priced. We ordered a large niku udon with a side of kikuni/ braised pork and several side dish. The pork was huge at $7. Everything tasted good. Just wish parking wasn't that horrible.

Ordered the kitsune udon topped with green onions and wakame, with a couple sides of shrimp tempura. The soup had great flavor to it, but the noodles were a bit firm for my liking - I prefer a slightly softer and chewier mouth feel (mochi-mochi, in Japanese). The fried shrimp also was slightly disappointing in that a heavy western-style batter was used, rather than the fluffy and crisp Japanese tempura batter that I'm accustomed to. The quality was still quite good, though.The experience was greatly enhanced when we asked for some shichimi spice powder to add to the soup, as the sesame, orange rind, cayenne pepper, and several other flavorful ingredients add a pleasurable dimension to the udon soup. I highly recommend trying some shichimi if you haven't yet and aren't highly sensitive to spicy foods.

So many different options, good price point, food was sooo good. I got the soup udon on-tama bowl + duck breasts + ikura. the tempura would’ve been really good fresh but i got the shrimp, pumpkin, gyoza, & green beans. overall 10/10follow @khoang.eats on insta for more food inspo !!!
Miss Mina brought me here. Small Tan Tan Spicy Udon with everything and an egg. Shrimp, kabocha squash tempuras, and potato croquette on the side. Sooooo damn good ?

Hard to find a restaurant that just sells Udon in the US. So I am glad i found this place! It was good. The tempura were too soggy and cold already, I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to smell of meat in my mouth and pork Katsu was a little smelly. But other than that it was good overall. I do recommend basic Udon than Curry Udon. I would like to try something else here next time.

Solid udon - I always go with the Udon Nuki. Delicious broth, noodles, and meat. Some solid sides and no line make this an easy place when you just want something good and easy. Parking is a pain, but with a little patience you can find a spot nearby.

Essentially a marugame clone - you order your noodles, add some toppings, and then pick from a variety of tempura to fits your fancy. I’d say priced similarly as well.The udon noodles were actually chewier than what I had at marugame, which I appreciate, but I think it’s more of marugame having a bad day than this one being better.We came at 1p, so a bit after lunch rush, and some of the tempura was getting stale, not crispy anymore. Overall great place for a quick bite!

Because the sauce is great, I love the shrimp and octopus balls.Noodles are good.The food is a bit too cold.
Great for a rainy day and probably any other day. Good meat and seafood oriented options. I had the seasonal udon: a hot kimchi pork calamari soup.

Lovely spot for fresh udon on a chilly day - I had the kake udon soup with shrimp, kabocha squash, and eggplant tempura. I also tried the Japanese caramel pudding, which was delicious, but a little more like crème brûlée texture.Prices were decently priced for the portion sizes. I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in Seattle!

I’ve been here multiple times and small Katsu Curry Udon is always my favorite. Seaweed is extra charge but totally worth it ? the curry was rich and complemented well with the udon noodles. I came at 11:10am so they just opened and the katsu was hot and crispyTip: if you are SU student, show your SU ID for discount ?
The niku udon is way too salty. So hard to eat.
