A very good udon noodle is hard to come by, but Samurai Mama in Brooklyn, offers the best. With a unique style and tasty cheap eats, the restaurant has quickly become Brooklyn's number one destination for udon noodles that are simply irresistable.
Udon noodles are white, and often thick noodles which are made by kneading wheat, flour, salt and water. This dish, which is typically known for being a house specialty throughout Japan, has since brought a variety of flavor to the dining scene in the U.S. and NYC.
The soup can usually be served hot during the winter season or chilled during summer and spring. Udon noodles can also be jazzed up a little by dipping it into noodle dipping sauce known as mentsuyu, which is a soy sauce flavored dashi soup.
If you would also like a topping to go along with your delicious bowl of udon noodles, you can try grated fresh ginger, chopped green onions or wasabi for spice.
Udon dashi is also great for an affordable lunch, with Samurai Mama serving the specialty for just $3 a bowl. Yet, the japanese restaurant has much more to offer, including snacks like Flying Fish Jerky and Wild Roots Chips for just $4 each. While you're there be sure to try a Marma Salad, the Teppan Yaki, or some great Japanese-style sushi.
So stop by and try a bowl, but be careful! You just might get addicted.
