7 superb spots for slurpable udon noodle dishes in Seattle
Ramen is wonderful, but sometimes you’re just in the mood for another type of noodle soup: udon.
For those who haven’t had the Japanese dish before, udon is a type of noodle that can be served hot or cold. It’s a thicker and chewier noodle than ramen and is most often whiter in color.
Udon noodles themselves are always vegan and usually have a delicate flavor compared to ramen.
