Udonlicious 🍜 . As I made a return visit to Uzumakiya Udon, I knew my initial instinct had been right . Just as Kemuri’s oxtail udon was one of the best things I tried during the pandemic in 2020, the Uzumakiya-exclusive Utsuke Udon and Shime Saba are the best dishes I had in 2021 . The shime saba is a modest portion (limited to only 10 servings per day) but it’s a must order and perfectly matched with onions, green onions, wasabi and a dipping sauce . But if I’m restricted to only picking a single dish each year, it is the Utsuke Dipping Udon that gets my vote . The chilled, silky smooth noodles are perfectly al dente, drizzled with a preciously small amount of chili oil, and then dipped into an umami packed hot broth ready to be slurped joyfully . Here are some of my prior best dishes I ate…If you disagree, we’re not only food incompatible; I don’t think we can be friends 😆 . 2021 ⭐️ Utsuke Udon @uzumakiyaudon 2020 ⭐️ Oxtail Udon @kemurirwc 2019 ⭐️ Tsukemen @taishoken.usa 2018 ⭐️ Bo Ne @bonephuyen 2017 ⭐️ Pho Dac Biet @pho 2016 ⭐️ Omakase @sushiyoshizumi 2015 ⭐️ Suckling Pig @koipalace 2014 ⭐️ Galbi Tang @ Kunjip 2013 ⭐️ Canh Bun Rau Mung @ Pho Ga Hung 2012 ⭐️ Oyakodon @sumikagrill 2011 ⭐️ Tom Cang Kho Tau (Jumbo Water Prawns) @ Vung Tau . 📷 Utsuke (Udon Tsukemen) Dipping Udon $15.65 / Aburi Shime Saba $16 . 📍Uzumakiya Udon (Cupertino, CA) . #udon #japanesefood #cupertinoeats #japanesefood #dippingudon #yelpsiliconvalley #yelpbayarea #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #globaleats #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Uzumakiya Udon Izakaya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CducwRLLmhL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
