Kyoto, Japan｜Tsukumo Udon Shiokōji Main Shop

Ordered their curry egg udon with chicken. Noodle was chewy and the broth has a generous amount of egg “swimming” in the aromatic curry. Chicken was juicy and fried chicken has always been a good side dish with soup dishes. They have free flow of tempura flakes and dried sardines as toppings, it goes well with the curry egg broth. It was my comfort meal before I left Kyoto. Also, if you’re Malaysian, this dish is similar to Maggie Curry with Egg. If you know, you know.

Quick, cheap, and delicious udon! In a rush or not, I’d definitely come back here to grab a bowl of udon instead of waiting hours on a line elsewhere. I ordered the curry udon with fried chicken. The udon was chewy, bouncy, and cooked Al dente. The curry was a little spicy, spiced, and full of the classic curry flavor. The fried chicken was made of juicy white meat and the fried part outside somewhere stayed crispy though dunked into the curry sauce. Incredibly, the udon came with a few pieces of thinly sliced beef which were tender. The curry udon also came with a bowl of rice but it was already too much food for me so unfortunately I couldn’t finish it. There are two machines in which you can order from, get a ticket, and present that ticket to get your food. There are also two tables in the back, counter-like seating along the wall, and other standing tables. There is also self serve free cold water, anchovies, and some crispy tempura topping.

Very nice udon! Fast food type of concept but the noodles are legit! I ordered the seasonal special. They have both hot and cold udons. And even curry udons! Cheap and good.
