" Very happy with my meal here! Started with a miso soup, followed by the curry udon which was rich and flavorful without being too heavy. The tempura was lightly breaded and crispy. My only note is that the seating arrangement could feel tight, especially during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place and luckily, I was not disappointed! My partner and I both got different udon bowls to share and were amazed at how fresh and flavorful they tasted. We appreciated the option to customize spice levels for the curry udon we tried. The interior could use a bit more decoration, but that didn’t overshadow the quality of the food at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Meiji Seimen was worthwhile. I got the beef udon, and it was delightful; robust and satisfying with plenty of toppings! The service was efficient and the wait staff were pleasant. Only downside: the restaurant is pretty small, making it hard to navigate through tables when they're busy, but I'll definitely return for the delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is definitely a must-try for anyone who loves udon! The freshness of the ingredients translates so well into the dishes. I particularly enjoyed the eel donburi and a side of tempura. Atmosphere is casual and cozy. I did notice it gets busy during lunch. Overall, I had a lovely lunch and will be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing find! The udon is freshly made, and the broth has an incredible depth of flavor. The chicken tempura had a light and crisp coating that surprised me. The staff were attentive and really improved the experience. Expect to wait for a table as it gets busy, but I assure you the wait is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a fantastic hidden gem for Japanese udon lovers. The handmade noodles tasted fresh and the broth was a perfect combination of flavors. The staff was attentive, and the food came out quickly even when busy. Just a wonderful overall dining experience. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this restaurant during a friend’s recommendation, and it truly lives up to the hype. The atmosphere is quaint and homely, albeit a bit tight. However, the beef udon was outstanding. The broth’s flavor is perfectly balanced, making me want to return just to have another bowl. One of my new favorites! " (*Curated Review*)
