The best udon in Toronto consists of thick wheat noodles, served in a hot broth, pan-fried or coated in a rich sauce. The popular Japanese noodle can be found on the menu at several Toronto restaurants and though it is most popular submerged in a tasty, rich umami broth, it can be served stir-fried or in a curry as well. A piping hot bowl of udon soup might sometimes get overlooked by ramen or pho but there are plenty of fantastic options for udon in Toronto.
Below is a list of the best udon in Toronto.
456 Queen St W
Raku
This New York chain opened its first Toronto outpost in 2019, and it's been buzzing since. Raku sources their noodles direct from Japan and are perfectly chewy every time. The broth is fish-based and they also have cold udon dishes.
3720 Midland Avenue Unit#113-114
Zen Sanuki Udon
Possibly the priciest entry on this list, but one of the highest quality as well. The chef imports ingredients from the Sanuki province, which is known for its udon. The udon noodles are absolute perfection, while premium toppings like duck breast and melt-in-your-mouth pork belly make this place a must for any udon lover.
105 McCaul St
Manpuku Japanese Eatery
This small Japanese kitchen does some amazing udon dishes, including their classic kake and kitsune udon, which has rich aromas and flavour with every sip.
5469 Yonge St
MeNami
This hip little spot near Yonge and Finch offers some of the best udon dishes in the city. Their Salmon Cream Udon consists of creamy udon topped with a perfectly cooked salmon filet. They also do a baked udon with shrimp, bacon, broccoli and cheese.
20 Charles St E
Tokyo Kitchen
This quaint spot on Charles Street offers one of the most expansive udon menus thus far. Their Wagyu Sukiyaki udon is a must-try, while the Zaru Udon and Tororo Udon soups are ultra comforting as well.
49 Baldwin St
Yuugi Izakaya
This izakaya offers a variety of Japanese classics, but their Udon Pepperoncino is heaven. Stir-fried udon in a white chili cream sauce with bacon and lots of garlic makes for a comforting meal.
7 Byng Ave
Naniwa-Taro
This small hidden gem offers comfort classics, including their hot bowls of udon soup and stir-fried udon dishes.
5175 Yonge St
Tokyo Grill
This spot has two locations in Toronto and offers classic Japanese comfort. Their uptown location has an udon menu with quite a bit of selection with dishes like stir-fried udon or a curry udon soup.
66 Gerrard St E
Katsuya
Specializing in tonkatsu, Katsuya also whips up a delicious udon dish. Their carbonara udon is a signature and they also do a red carbonara version that kicks up the spice level.
559 Bloor St W
Kinka Izakaya
This Canadian chain of izakayas offers several udon dishes, including stir-fried udon noodles, broth-less noodles and their niku udon, which is the classic udon soup in a hot dashi broth.
