    I have eaten ichibantei udon at least 10 times in the last 2 months. And it's July. So that's saying something to get a hot soup when it's a million degrees out. Truly I am obsessed with their udon, specifically the deluxe udon which is a combination of the niku and kitsune udons. The combination of the deep fried tofu and the tender beef comes out of to be sweet and savory. I seriously LOVE this dish. I'm craving it right now. By far the best udon I've had in the city (recognizing ramen is different). They have a ton of other options and I've had a few that were each good. The interior is like a nightclub (I think it used to be). This place would be great for group dinners, so many fun drink options. But seriously, if you do nothing is, get the deluxe udon ideally when the winds of winter start blowing

    Definitely a great spot for late night munching! The food was delicious and the fried gyoza was my favorite. The pineapple mojito had a great kick to it. But overall the service was good :)

    My friend was craving a steak so we came for their signature dish & I will say it didn't not disappoint ! Service was quick and the restaurant has a nice, dark ambience that was perfect to rest and cool off for dinner after a long day of shopping in NoHo/Soho. I got the sukiyaki Don and finished every last bite ! I'm not from the city & it's definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone visiting. I have it a 4/5 simply bc pricing is a little on the high end. For the portion size and taste though, I think it's definitely worth it !

    Tip: come during happy hour when they have the BOGO deal on drinks; super worth! (We came on a Sunday around 1). This place is a bit hidden, but has some pretty good prices for large portions. The udon wasn't mindblowing, but the flavor was solid and I was happy with what I received given how much I paid. Service was friendly and fast.
