Located on the north side of Kinuta Park, this udon restaurant always has a long line during lunchtime. I waited for about 25 minutes in line before entering the restaurant with 8 people ahead of me. After ordering, I waited for about 10 minutes. I had Kitsune Udon with tempura and a salted rice ball for 600 yen. The broth had a slightly sweet Kansai-style flavor, and the noodles had a natural firmness to them, which was excellent. The tempura was refreshing in taste. You can get extra noodles for free, up to 1.5 times the regular amount. It was surprisingly reasonable. I recommend going at a slightly off-peak time during lunch hours as it can get crowded. Bon appétit!

Today's daily specials included Chiku-Ten Bukkake (udon noodles topped with tempura flakes) for the cold option, and Konbu and Agedashi (udon noodles with seaweed and deep-fried tofu) for the hot option. I had the Chiku-Ten Bukkake large udon for only 500 yen. Once you try their udon here, you won't be able to go back to other places. It was delicious as always! I love udon, so I could eat it every day! (laughs)

The udon-loving dancer came to Magokoro again today. Today's special was a large serving of cold noodles with half a side of rice for 600 yen. However, she found out today that if she only ordered the udon, she could get a large serving for 500 yen by subtracting 100 yen for the rice ball. What a revelation! From now on, she'll do that! It's good for losing weight and easy on the wallet too! ＼(^o^)／

I always go to this restaurant for lunch. It's cheap and delicious. They offer free extra-large portions! I always get the extra-large, so even if I forget to ask for it, the owner will confirm by asking, "Extra-large?" (laughs) The daily special with salt-grilled fish is only 600 yen, and if you upgrade to mixed rice, it's an extra 100 yen. But if you ask for half the portion, they will waive the extra 100 yen, so you can eat for 600 yen. You have to line up between 12:00 and 13:00, otherwise you won't be able to get in. If you avoid that time, there's a high chance you won't have to wait in line to get in.

It's great that this restaurant is open continuously even after lunch hours. Even at this time, it's still bustling with two seats left. I ordered today's special, wakame udon with toriten (600 yen), and it was ready in 10 minutes. It's cheap and delicious udon with salted rice ball. Was there salt in it? "Thank you for the meal."

Chikuwa tempura udon for 600 yen. They use carefully selected chikuwa from Kagawa prefecture, and you can have up to 1.5 pieces for free. Salted rice ball for 100 yen. I arrived at the restaurant at 13:23 and became the 4th person in line. I entered the restaurant at 13:25 and was the 1st person waiting. I sat down and placed my order at 13:29, and my meal arrived at 13:51. After having lunch at Ghar, I passed by this place that had caught my eye. It was my first visit. Even though it was a bit late for lunch, there was a line in front of the restaurant! I was hesitant but decided to wait, thinking the turnover would be quick. Luckily, I didn't have to wait long to be seated, but it took a while from ordering to getting my food. I wondered if they were boiling the noodles after I ordered. The noodles were firm, almost on the hard side. Maybe because I've been having soft and chewy Osaka udon recently, it caught my attention. I think I'll try their hot udon next time before making a final judgment. In terms of cost performance, it was good for a casual meal. Thank you for the meal.

On February 20, 2023 (Monday) around 4:25 PM, I missed today's daily lunch special time... nowhere seems to be open at this time. Hmm? A udon restaurant? I wonder if it's open... It is open. But, the daily special is probably only available during lunchtime... Well, let's give it a try. Can I have the daily special? Really? Great! Oh... this is a proper udon! Excellent. With tempura flakes... please. Yes, this is it! I'll remember this place. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It's a counter-only udon shop. They operate continuously from noon until 7 pm, which is convenient for business people around here. What's more, you can get up to 1.5 servings of noodles for free. However, as I am currently on a diet, I ordered the plum and seaweed udon in a regular size. The noodles are thin, and the gentle broth with sweet and sour plum is delicious.

After going to the hospital in the town, I discovered this restaurant while taking a leisurely walk around the neighborhood. It blended in with the town's scenery so well that I almost walked past it. However, the area around the shop was filled with pleasant smells like bonito. The shop itself was clean and the staff were friendly. The udon noodles had a nice firm texture, and customers were constantly coming and going.

I had the shiitake mushroom tempura and tori-ten (chicken tempura) on top of the daily changing kitsune udon with chiku-ten (fish cake tempura) and side dish rice with pickles. The noodles felt a bit firm. I prefer Mago-koro's udon warm rather than cold. The fried tofu in the kitsune udon was very sweet and paired well with the broth, which I enjoyed. The broth in the kitsune udon was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It's been 2 years since I last visited this place after work. It was before 6 pm and there were two customers already. The udon I wanted to eat was sold out, so I ordered the "Magokoro Udon" for 450 yen. I waited for 16 minutes until it was cooked and said "Itadakimasu". I really like the bonito broth here. The chicken dumplings had a nice ginger flavor. "Gochisousama deshita."

This is a simple and clean counter-style restaurant. They do not have soba on the menu. The udon noodles are smooth on the surface and have a good chewy texture. They are high-quality and have a nice mouthfeel. However, the Magokoro Udon is reasonably priced at ¥450. It's a great place to enjoy udon noodles. Thank you for the meal.

This day, I had back-to-back meetings from the morning and before I knew it, it was already past 2:30 pm. Lunchtime had long passed and I was feeling hungry, wondering what to do for lunch. Then I remembered this place and decided to visit it right away. 1. Exterior, atmosphere, interior of the restaurant Located about a 6-minute walk from Higobashi Station, this small restaurant can be easily identified by the handwritten menu on the street or the purple flag (indicating udon). The interior has only 10 counter seats, with enough distance between them for a comfortable dining experience. The casual atmosphere is bright and clean, making it welcoming for solo female diners. 2. About the food Although the menu is extensive, being a first-time visitor, I ordered the "Magokoro Udon" that the restaurant is known for. Since it was very affordable on its own, I also ordered the "Chicken Tempura" as an addition. The udon and chicken tempura are cooked to order, so it takes some time. After about 10 minutes, the udon and chicken tempura were served. The "Magokoro Udon" came with 2 chicken meatballs, green onions, and maple leaf fu, making it quite luxurious for the price. The dashi broth was well-balanced and comforting, with a gentle flavor. The smooth and slippery texture of the noodles was chewy and elastic. Although the noodles were not very firm, the balance with the broth and toppings made it enjoyable. The homemade meatballs were soft and juicy. The chicken tempura was freshly fried, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. It was well-seasoned and delicious even without any additional sauce. With everything combined, the portion was sufficient and I was full. 3. Staff service A female staff member was handling the customer service alone. She greeted me, guided me to my seat, and provided polite and friendly service. There were two male staff members in the kitchen, working diligently, but they also greeted me cheerfully when I left. There were no particular issues that caught my attention. 4. Cost performance With carefully prepared bonito dashi, delicious broth, chewy udon, and homemade meatballs, all for 550 yen, I think it's very reasonable. The bright atmosphere of the restaurant and the friendly staff service also added to the positive experience. Overall, considering everything, I believe the cost performance is good. 5. Other observations Next time, I would like to try the "Salt Onigiri" as well.

Located on the north side of Jinpu Park, this udon restaurant may not be prominently displayed in a corner of a building, but it is always packed. The shop has a clean, white-themed interior with about 10 counter seats. I opted for the daily special set, which included kitsune and chikuwa tempura udon with salted rice ball. The udon noodles were slightly thin and served warm, with a firm texture. Despite being warm, they were chewy and delicious. The fried tofu had a strong flavor and was slightly sweet. The chikuwa tempura was freshly fried and piping hot. On cold days, nothing beats a warm bowl of udon. While bukkake and kama-age udon are also good, nothing beats the comforting flavor of udon in broth. Refills up to 1.5 servings are free, which may be a bit small for some people. I'll go for 1.5 servings next time. Thank you for the meal!

I always used to pass by the front of the store, but the sign saying "Today's daily special for 600 yen" always caught my attention. On this cold day, I decided to visit for the first time. In Yodoyabashi area, my favorite udon restaurants are Kisaku and Sarashina in Bingo-cho. When I entered the store, the smell of the broth was promising. The daily special for the day came with fried tofu and tempura, topped with a raw egg. I could hear the sound of cutting noodles after I placed my order. It seemed like they boiled and rinsed the noodles before serving. It took a bit of time for the order to be ready. The finished udon had a clear broth that looked delicious. The broth was flavorful, but I wondered if it would have been better without the egg. The noodles were smooth and likely hand-made. For only 600 yen, the daily special was a great deal, and you can get 1.5 servings for the same price. They seem to really want customers to enjoy their udon, as they don't offer any drinks. I found a good restaurant and will definitely visit again to try more dishes.

☆彡Craving for a smooth and refreshing texture, I revisited this place to enjoy my favorite tempura udon. This time, I ordered the tempura udon, which I loved last time because the tempura was delicious. I had high expectations (*´ ꒳ `*) ○Tempura Udon (800 yen) I ordered 1.5 servings of udon with a free extra serving. However, the noodles are thin, so 1.5 servings were not enough (´・ω・`) I regret not adding more because the noodles have a good texture and are delicious, so I wanted to eat more. The tempura includes not only 2 shrimp but also vegetables, all with a crispy texture that is enjoyable to eat ( ﾟДﾟ)ｳﾏｰ The tempura has a thick coating, which makes it a unique tempura experience that you can enjoy at an udon restaurant. They offer a daily changing lunch menu where you can add 1.5 servings of noodles for free and get a salted rice ball for 600 yen, making it a popular spot with long lines on weekdays (^ω^*) I have an Instagram account @ginjirou.star

☆彡Every time I passed by, I was intrigued by the long line outside the udon restaurant. When I looked at the menu placed outside, it was a udon shop. The interior of the shop had an L-shaped counter seat only. Although there was a short wait for 2 people, we were seated within about 3 minutes. Today's special was the Warm Tamago Bukkake Udon with Chicken Tempura and Salt Onigiri, with an extra 1.5 servings of noodles for free. I added a topping of Maitake Mushroom Tempura for 150 yen. The slightly thin udon had a firm and chewy texture, with a strong flavor of mackerel flakes that paired well with the cold bukkake broth. The udon had a true chewiness, not just firmness. The crispy tempura with tender chicken was delicious. Both the udon and tempura were of high quality, which explains their popularity. I am curious about other menu items and will definitely visit again. (^ω^*) I'm on Instagram @ginjirou.star

Today's lunch was at a place near Utsubo Park, Kyomachibori. I had udon with tempura for 650 yen, along with a side of mixed rice for 200 yen. The tempura was delicious, and many shops serve it separately. The tempura included shrimp, shishito pepper, pumpkin, and fish cake. The noodles were slightly thinner than usual but had a smooth and tasty broth. The mixed rice was lightly seasoned with a flavorful dashi broth and had a good texture. I look forward to trying the shiitake mushroom tempura and cold udon next time. I was very satisfied with my meal. #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #HappyMeal

Last week, I stumbled upon this place and decided to have lunch here. It's a small restaurant with only 10 counter seats, 2 chefs in the kitchen, and 1 server. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with everyone providing attentive service. The udon menu seems to be carefully curated, with a selection of both hot and cold options. Unlike other restaurants with extensive menus, this place keeps it simple due to its small size. I ordered the following: - Chikuwa Tempura Udon for 550 yen - Mixed Vegetable Rice for 200 yen I was drawn to the menu item featuring chikuwa from Kagawa Prefecture. As a native of Kagawa, I was intrigued. The udon came topped with chopped green onions and grated daikon, with ginger and white sesame on the side. There was also tempura crumbs on the counter, which I added to my dish. Mixing the broth with the noodles was a delightful moment. The noodles were of a standard thickness, offering a good chewy texture. The sign on the wall mentioned that you could have up to 1.5 servings of noodles for free, which is generous compared to most udon shops in Kagawa. The broth had a gentle, Osaka-style dashi flavor, without the strong taste of dried fish. Overall, the prices at this restaurant are reasonable, ranging from 480 yen to 700 yen. The udon was delicious, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for the meal.

I had lunch at "Magokoro," a traditional hand-made udon restaurant located just north of Tenma Park. I tried the Kitsune Udon for only 500 yen, which had a slightly sweet Kansai-style broth. You can get a free extra serving of udon up to 1.5 portions. Check out more details here! ⇒ http://osakadrinker.com/post-32789/
