My friends, today is the grand opening of a brand new Japanese noodle shop in Seattle, U:DON. And it just so happens to be owned and operated by my sister-in-law's brother, Tak Kurachi. We were invited to the soft opening on Monday to test out the dishes. It was so exciting to see his many years of planning come to fruition.
My brother, Christopher, was asked to photograph the interior murals and Hal was asked to model. So yes, on the wall there's an enormous blown up portrait of my fiance shoving udon in his face! It's awesome. I was at the photoshoot when it was taken, so I popped into the frame at the end of the session to get a few of Hal and I together. Nothing says love like noodle slurping.
If you live in the Seattle area, you must visit the restaurant! U:DON is located at 4515 University Ave, where the old Pita Pit used to be. The noodles are freshly made right in front of you. Extremely tasty and inexpensive. Here is the menu.
Please report back to me if you go. I'd love to hear about your experience there!
