    I can second Gen. 659 Washington Ave
    (between Bergen St & St Marks Ave)

    The owner is actually japanese which isn't as common as one would think regarding japanese restaurants. They serve traditional homestyle japanese dishes as well as sushi/sashimi.

    Taro (on Dean off of Flatbush) also has it.

    I'll try again next time!

    Taro is okay but it's a sushi joint mostly, as opposed to a place serving japanese cuisine like Gen.

    Their tempura udon is great.

    Good to hear as that's exactly what I wanted.

    As udon is a traditional Japanese dish and Taro is a sushi joint it's safe to say that the udon at Gen is way better than Taro's. Sushi is a fad here, and only eaten on special occasions in Japan. My friend used to waitress at Taro and I love the place but it's not a place to go for udon, or any other homestyle Japanese dishes. Taro is a great tapas/fusion restaurant. Gen is a place to go for Japanese food, including udon.

    i've had both taro's and gen's, and while in principle i agree that gen is the better place for non-sushi food (and that taro is better for sushi), i prefer taro's tempura udon.

    soba zuri... chilled buckwheat noodles... perfect for a light summer meal

    chowan mushi    ... hot savory custard warms your heart

    chicken udon    ... yummy nippon noodles swims in a perfect ocean of broth


    but be warned the negamaki with cheese...
