Nagoya, Aichi, Japan｜Ikkyu-an

Very good udon and soba. Be sure to arrive early as this place fills up very quickly. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I had the udon with the large shrimp which was very filling as the portions were quite generous. There is one room that is very kid friendly but that room is often taken. I would suggest calling in for a reservation.

I often use it for lunch. We recommend the small curry udon and set menu. I like the set, but I recommend the squid tempura bowl and chicken skewers ♥️ The curry udon is spicy, not too hot and not too sweet, which is great. Not only curry udon, but also ankake udon is recommended.

Visited when I was nearby due to high ratings. It's a very popular restaurant, so if you go during lunchtime, be prepared to wait. After asking the nice staff for recommendations, I ordered curry stew and small rice. After a while of waiting, the curry stew came out! The udon noodles are handmade, thick, chewy and delicious. The curry stew soup is hardly spicy, and the deep flavor of the soup stock makes it a complete meal. Many of the customers were elderly and families, but even if you were alone, they treated you with great care!
