Udon in the house? SEA

I followed the advice of several posters here on the ramen thread and gave Samurai Noodle a try and have to say the pork ramen we had was really impressive! That pork - wow! - it actually reminded me of the succulant beef brisket my grandma made for Passover dinners back in the day. They also served us some really incredible Genmai Matcha green tea. That roasted rice flavor was something I never experienced b4 in green tea. It was so great I bought a package of 50 tea bags to take home. Yum.

So this tasty experience got me thinking about Udon in Seattle. Any suggestings for "the best" Udon in town? Thanks in advance.

    In the north Seattle/Greenwood area, the nabeyaki udon at Mori is lovely stuff...and they deliver for those of you recovering from a cold.

      Thanks! I live near Greenlake and have been looking for a place to deliver noodles to me when I'm sick!

      I'm a Japanese American, and my favorite udon is at Tsukushinbo in the ID. The tempura udon is very good--they serve the tempura on the side so it doesn't get soggy. They also have good soba--two different kinds!

          Am I the only one who sees irony in comparing Passover brisket to pork?

          I really like the udon at Nishino. You can get it with grilled chicken or tempura shrimp served on the side. It's one of the most affordable items on the menu and easily a meal in itself.

            For something a bit lighter than the udon, try the cold somen at Nishino. Get some new-style salmon belly to put on top if you want to jazz it up a bit.

              I guess you can tell I choose food over religion. Doh, have to admit I didn't realize the humor when I originally wrote this post. Thanks to all for reviving this post though and for the reccos!

              Agree with the Samurai Noodle call. The pork is amazing.
