This place has been one of my favorite meals in the city despite the price, which is a bit much for noodles. It was an easy four star. However, on recent visits there was a marked drop in quality. Today I got soba that was bizarrely cut short with fried tofu that was almost sour. A one or two star meal that I am giving three cause it's usually better. I am going to give them one more chance. I have good memories here. read more

Gohei - Kitsune soba with weirdly short noodles - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Love their udon soooo much that I want to buy it for home. You do too? Well, great news! They sell it at Sunrise market located across from this food stand. Bad news!- seems to always be sold out and not restock as often. Every time I go to buy, I never see it I ordered Curry udon and added beef (first time adding beef) and they gave lots of beef and I actually missed the veggies! Nor ally have chunks of potatoes and carrots. I got one large potato only. Added extra spice (togarashi) powder to my curry. Yum! The beef curry udon is my new favorite! read more

Can't beat a nice bowl of noodles on a cold, windy day like it was last week so I stopped by for some from this location in Japan Village. I ordered the mixed tempura udon, and it came by pretty quickly and had a nice assortment of tempura. The soup was pretty standard for udon soup, but it really hit the spot in the cold weather. The udon was also relatively good too, if anything they need to be cooked a little longer because they were a little too chewy than they are usually. The tempura was cooked earlier and left on a hot plate to keep warm so I was kind of afraid that it would be soggy or not as good as it really should be but to my surprise, they were extremely crispy and hot. Big props, especially to the shrimp tempura. A lot of times when you get shrimp tempura it's pretty obviously premade or they take away the head but in this case they take the entire shrimp, straighten it out and then they fry it. I know it's not for everyone, but the shrimp head really does have a lot of that shrimpy ocean flavor. Overall, pretty good meal. I would really like it if they could put a bowl of tempura flakes on the side that we could add to the bowl. That's something that udon places in Japan do and it's literally just the flakes that fall off at the tempura when it's fried and it's such a good compliment to the udon. Overall though, can't really complain about a pretty good udon with some quite nice tempura on a cold rainy day. read more

Gohei - Mixed Tempura Udon (Shrimp, Potato, Eggplant, and Jalapeño) - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Japan Village in Brooklyn -- where you step in for culture and end up questioning everything you thought you knew about noodle soup. First stop: Gohei. The stall hits you with nine different noodle bowls -- soba or udon, your choice... but choose wisely, warrior. I learned the hard way that not every soup and noodle combo is meant to be. The Gyusuji (sweet beef offal broth) is straight-up legendary if you go with udon. Go with soba, and it's like putting a Prius engine in a monster truck -- not built for it, my friend. They even throw in tendon, tripe, and konnyaku (aka devil's tongue -- sounds hardcore, tastes amazing). Bottom line: this place will humble your noodle game real quick. #japanvillage #brooklynfoodie #nyceats #foodhall #udonlover #noodleszn #foodieinthebigapple2025 #nycfoodadventure #brooklynlife #foodiefinds #japanesefood #nycfoodguide #foodreview #masculineeats #foodiejourney read more

This restaurant is in Japan Village. They have counter top seating. Or there are some tables shared with other restaurants. Foods are served in plastic containers. You could bring food from other restaurants or even from the market. I had ebi tempura udon and cold soba. Both dishes were great! Although i have to give 4 stars because some tempuras were quite soggy. Udon was served hot, in plastic containers. Favorful broth was spot on. Noodle was tender and held flavor well. Cold soba was refreshing. Noodles were keep cutting off, but tasted great. Portion was a bit small but not bad at all. I would try sometimes 4/5. read more

Gohei - Spicy pork udon - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Udon here is satisfactory. Definitely a classic spot to get your warmth in the winter. Definitely not the best udon I had but it's never that busy and udon comes out pretty quick and easy. If you're in the mood for meat definitely get the Niku udon. I tried that along with my tendon udon with stewed beef (gyusuji) and a side with chicken wings. The chicken wings were a good add on but super oily. I think as a spot in Japan village it's pretty good since it's the main udon spot but I would probably try another dish from here another time as nothing in particular was amazing and the udon wasn't handmade or anything like that (that I can tell). It's just pretty pricey for a non handmade udon dish compared to others I've had. I think the ramen spot or the curry spot is better here in Japan Village. read more

Gohei - Niku and gyusuji udon - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Definitely one of the worst udon/noodle places I've tried. For the chicken dish, the chicken breast was extremely tough and flavorless to the point where it was inedible and painful to eat. For the other dish, the meat was overly salty. The udon for both was alright but not really hot, just warm. But the lack of vegetables then lack of edible tasty meat really made this one of the not so good meals I've had in the area just to be aware of. read more

BLUF: Good Niku Udon soup. We were impressed with our first visit to Gohei, a purveyor of udon and soba noodle soups in Japan Village. They seem better than their 3.2 rating on Yelp in mid-August 2023 suggests. We ordered a Niku Udon (a beef noodle soup) for $13.78 ($15 with tax), with an add-on serving of chicken karaage (fried chicken) for $3.21 ($3.50 with tax), to go. The beef was thinly sliced, sweet, somewhat fatty, and a large portion. The broth had a meaty sweetness to it, but could benefit from more scallions. The udon noodles had a nice bounciness and chew to them. I like how Gohei and Japan Village displays post-tax prices on their menus, as this is the amount most people actually pay. Prices are displayed post-tax in Japan, too. While we took our order to go, it may be better to dine in, to experience the noodles and soup at their intended temperatures. We would definitely return for the Niku Udon, and to try other dishes. read more

This was one of the stalls in the Japan Village food hall within Industry City. I ordered their gyusuji. It was udon with beef tendon, daikon, and stewed konnyaku. I liked that the broth was clear. Sometimes I'll need a break from a thick rich broth. It wasn't used to the flat udon. It looked more like regular noodles. It wasn't anything fancy. It was a pretty basic bowl of noodles, but it was good if you like eating tendon. If you come at a busy time, you might need to hunt for a spot to eat your food. read more

Wow, the mentaiko creamy udon is out of this world. It's like if Japan discovered mac and cheese but elevated it to the 7th dimension. It's so flavorful, and there's a nice texture of the fish eggs. Really goes well with the udon. I wish more restaurants had this style of udon! This place is tucked away inside the Japan village building, so don't miss it! The portion doesn't look big , but honestly I'd probably die from cholesterol from how creamy it is if it was bigger. read more

Definitely a place to get good handmade noodles. These were delicious! Had the sliced beef over noodles. Long thinly sliced strips of beef were tender and nicely marinated. Soup had a good flavor, slightly sweet. Noodles were awesome, smooth and silky with a nice bite to them. Perfectly cooked. Marries perfectly with the soup. This is even made better with many different add ons, that are available, like boneless fried chicken pieces (kaarage). Only negative is that there is a thin layer of oil on top of the soup. So delicious though, I would still get this dish again though. Location: this is a stall inside the food court, which is across from Sunrise Mart, within Industry City. Seating: There is a few seats at a low counter, surrounding Gohei's cooking area. For more seating, get this meal to go, and walk deeper into Industry City for outdoor and indoor seating, throughout the complex. Service is fine, no issues, but do remember to say if it's eat in or take out. Enjoy! read more

I REALLY loved the udon from this place. All the noodles are handmade and slightly chewy. It's a stall inside the Japan Village so it's like getting affordable food court food but at very high quality. It might be hard to get seating immediately since it's shared with all the other stalls but you shouldn't have to wait too long. I ordered the tempura udon which came with tempura shrimp, vegetables, and peppers. The tempura was also really good: crispy and not oily. For the price that you pay (about $15) I'd say the portion sizes are fair too. I also got to try a little bit of my friend's mentaiko cream udon which was flavorful and delicious. If it weren't for the long commute from Manhattan I'd try to eat here every week. read more

Go to Japan village to shop and stop by this udon & soba restaurant at the food court. The udon and soba are homemade and are pretty good. However, the duck soba soup is a little bit too salty. Otherwise everything are good and quick if you don't have much time to eat. I see many people come to eat during lunch time. It's so lucky to eat some authentic udon and soba in Brooklyn when you can't travel to Japan. read more

Atmosphere: 4 The restaurant is inside the Japan Village food court. They have bar seating around the restaurant which is really reminiscent of restaurants in Japan. They also have spicy powder around that you can add to the food. I took 1 star off because the bar top is really sticky to the touch. Portion: 5 The portioning is perfect for me. I ordered the Niku udon and there was a ton of meat. There is a lot a good amount of noodles. I added the vegetables as well and there is a lot given. All together, it was a good bowl of noodles. Flavors: 5 The flavors really hit the spot because it's exactly as I remember the flavors to be in Japan. Unfortunately, just like Japan, the meat was really fatty. I didn't take a point off because this is also exactly how they serve it in Japan. Very authentic! I think the noodles are handmade! It has a nice chew to it! Overall, I'd go there again if I am missing the authentic Japanese flavors because it's so accurate to how I remember them. I'd recommend going there to try! read more

Saturday 7PM Wanted to check out Japan Village, was slightly disappointed at how many things weren't open or how unclear the signs were. Industry City is such a great concept I hope it gets better after more tenants move in and more ppl come. Was wandering around looking for a seat until got four seats here. Technically you can grab the food and eat it anywhere else. Each eatery has some seats around them. Outside Japan Village and in the other buildings there's more seats, but I guess you wouldn't want to carry your food around too much (don't think people get trays even if they're not sitting right in front of the place) I got the tempura udon because it seemed like there was a good variety of tempura. The man said it would take 15 minutes because it's freshly fried. Cool. It ended up only taking 10min. Was disappointed. Broth is bland but tolerable. Not hot. Tempura got all soggy even though I picked up the noodles immediately after the buzzer rang. I've had tempura in soup noodles and stuff before where it doesn't get soggy THAT FAST. Otherwise, the actual ingredients were solid. The eggplant and pumpkin were sweet. The sweet potato was slightly undercooked. The two shrimps were of good size and nice shrimp flavor. Udon itself. They say it's handmade every hour.... great but it's SO STIFF and you taste the rigid edges as if it went through a machine. It tasted stiffer than this packaged udon from Australia (forgot brand) I wish the places in Japan Village did a better job to attract people into this great complex. Sighs. I wouldn't say I'm offended but definitely really disappointed 2.5* read more

Of all the places in Japan Village food court, this is my favorite. There is one dish I've discovered that is my absolute favorite - the Mentaiko Cream Udon! I usually get that with a side of beef or Karaage (fried chicken). I've even compared the mentaiko cream udon to other places and this stands out as the best one I've had so far. It's such a simple dish, but tastes so unique and good, their udon is fresh and not too thick with the perfect texture. The beef can be a little oily, but tasty. And the Karaage was good, although I've had better, it's not the best. They have seating to the side that's reserved for this particular restaurant. Limited seats, but people don't stay too long. Price is not very cheap, and recently gone up, but still worth it in my opinion! read more

I really wanted to give this place 4 stars because the zaru udon was really good and you can tell the udon was not some machine made dried noodle you can buy at the market next to this place. However at $10 for the portion I received and how long it took for me to get a simple zaru udon (3 people who ordered after me got their food first) I'm giving the place 3 stars. For $10 you should pile on the udon, after all there's basically nothing else: udon, chopped green onion, sauce (poured out of a bottle, I saw), and wasabi. Taste: 5/5 Wait time: 1/5 Value: 2/5 read more

Decided to try this place as it was right next to Ramen Setagaya, where I was getting food from. The pictures of the food caught my eyes and ended up ordering the mushroom cream udon for $12. First thing I noticed was how small the portion was. On top of that, the cream sauce was very bland. It really tasted like thick milk with some mushrooms mixed it. I don't think I'll give this place another try :( read more

Gohei - Mushroom Cream Udon - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My brother and I are here at Industry City in Brooklyn. It's a large group of connected buildings housing a large variety of restaurants and shops. Japan Village and the Gohei food stall are located in building four. Chris and I split a hot bowl of soba noodles served in their signature broth of Kake which is based on fish, seaweed and scallions. We ordered the tempura version and added three extra large tempura shrimp at a cost of $3.67 each. The bowl also included pumpkin, sweet potato and eggplant. The bowl plus two bottles of water was $31.00, pricey for a food stall however it sufficiently fed the two of us and this seems to reflect a "New York price premium ". Service was friendly and we received our food quickly. We arrived here on a Wednesday at 1:45pm and the common area for all the food hall is only 30% full. We dined at the small bar area connected to Gohei and it was clean and spacious. Other reviewers have complained about crowds and lack of seating however it's a snowy day here and it's after peak lunch time so we have lots of space. My one quibble is that the entire food hall lacks bathrooms, a huge mistake in design. The closest bathrooms are reached by exiting the building and walking an inconvenient distance to the opposite end of building four. Chris and I are very pleased with the food quality at this stall and recommend it!!! read more

This place is a joke. We were attracted by the sign about their house made udon and soba which are made every hour, but the quality is really lacking here. I ordered the niku udon (11 bucks) with an extra topping of fried tofu (2 bucks extra). The fried tofu came out as the frozen tofu skin you can get at the freezer section at 2 bucks for 8 pieces. This is not fried tofu! It's misleading. The niku beef was dry, over cooked and super salty - probably because it was cooked hours ago and had been sitting there for ages. This really is a joke! The ramen next door was mediocre as well but at least the ingredients are better quality. Avoid this udon/soba stall! read more

If you're looking for good food at Japan Village in Industry City, then I recommend that you save your money and skip Gohei. There are plenty of other options to choose from in Japan Village. Gohei primarily serves noodle dishes such as ramen, udon, and soba with various toppings. It was a hot day when we visited, so we ordered the cold soba for $10 and bought a bottle of water. The food was underwhelming. They cut the soba noodles into small pieces which made it difficult to dip properly. The noodles were also poor quality--you're better off going into Manhattan if you want good soba. Service was also lacking. We specifically requested our food to-go because we wanted to eat at one of the outside tables, but we were given dishes on a tray. When we told the staffer that we requested to-go he just stared at us wide-eyed for a bit before giving us a closed container of dipping sauce and telling us to just use the tray and return the dishes afterwards. The customer in line after us also asked for to-go containers and instead was told to make do with the tray and dishes. They clearly had closed plastic containers available, so I don't know why they weren't giving them to customers. To top it off, the staffer who took our order forgot to give us the water we purchased, and we had to go back to get it. He didn't even apologize for forgetting. read more

I came on a Thursday at around 1pm and Japan village had quite a few people but the food booth itself did not have anyone so luckily we did not have to wait in line. The food here was great. Out of all the dishes we got, I highly reccomend the beef tendon udon. The only downside was that for pricing, it's not entirely worth it. The portions for the creamy udon dishes were pretty small as you can see from the pictures. read more

Gohei recently opened up for limited capacity indoor dining which was such good news. I decided to give it a try with my friend. We ordered a quick meal of Nabeyaki udon and shrimp tempura udon ( when I came last time it was sold out so I made me want to try it). It was also raining today so I was banking on a nice bowl of udon to warm me up. The food came efficiently and it was aesthetically pleasing especially the clay pot the nabeyaki udon came in. HOWEVER the quality of the food itself was very upsetting. Shrimp tempura udon- $15 Soup base was quite salty. Not too flavorful. Udon- excellent texture; chewy and soft( for me just the right portion) Shrimp Tempura- TERRIBLE!- the tempura was premade and was left under a super small heat lamp. During these times I guess I should not expect high volume turn over for freshly deep fried tempura but the shrimp went bad. It was close to being rotten. Made me wonder if it was from left over from yesterday. The plump and firm texture I expected was nowhere to be found. The shrimp was MUSHY and it wasn't from soaking it in the soup since they serve it separately. Nabeyaki udon - $18 Soup base- very delicious. Rich in flavor. Udon- once again very excellent in texture. Toppings- once again shrimp was mushy and close to rotten. We thought maybe because the tempura was sitting out for too long that it wasn't good but these should've been fresh shrimp. Even if they were thawed out frozen shrimp the texture shouldn't have been mushy. We peeled into it and the shrimp meat was already coming apart with the shell. Whatever was left was mushy. I ended up spitting it back out and that wasn't the best sight. The rest of the condiments ie : egg,spinach, mushroom was very tasty. Overall the udon was delicious but since both dishes had shrimp and the shrimp was just plain BAD I would give this location 1 star. For a Japanese restaurant a staple condiment:shrimp should not have failed so badly. read more

Delicious broth, homemade soba and udon noodles and enjoyable specials! My fiancé had the mushroom cream udon and I had the kake udon. We both LOVED the broth of the kake. I'd drink that alone every day if I could. The noodles are homemade and they had a great consistency. We also really enjoyed the shave in the mushroom cream dish. Overall we thought it was delicious and can't wait to go back. Yum! read more

Not sure why the bad reviews but my experience here was quite solid. Keep in mind this isn't a full service restaurant. Had the beef tendon udon and the creamy mushroom udon. Both were delicious and udon was nice and chewy. You can tell it's not the generic store bought udon as it has a bit of a chew to it. The beef tendon udon was pretty good, soup was a bit on the saltier side which I don't really mind and pieces of beef were flavorful and tender. I really enjoyed the creamy mushroom udon, had a nice earthy mushroom flavor and was very creamy albeit on the heavier side. Both udons came to $25 and portions were just right and quite filling actually. I would recommend this spot and may come here more often since it has a shorter wait than the ramen spot next door. read more

The noodles themselves were very good, nice and chewy with the right amout of thickness, but the portion of noodles could have been larger, and the toppings were very disappointing.

Yeah, not great. I've had Ramen Setagaya several times before, so I wanted to try something new. Gohei was right next to it. Needless to say, I should've went with ramen. The guy at the counter was nice. And they give you a buzzer to know when your food's ready for pickup (or you can sit at their counter). I got the gyusuji (beef tendons) with udon (you can also get soba. Both are made fresh daily). It was a ton of food (and a lot of weird tallow-y bits I couldn't identify), but just fine. The broth is a bit thinner, but there's a lot of it, so not really an issue. The noodles themselves were pretty good though. read more

Amazing handmade udon and soba noodles. I am so happy to finally find a really good, authentic Japanese restaurant in brooklyn. I got the mushroom cream udon and it was very good. The handmade udon was really good and a little firmer than typical store-bought udon. The sauce was very rich and full of flavor, but could have used a little more mushrooms.

Oh it's very bad :( After walking in hot outside, I craved for cold soba - so I ordered Zaru Tempura. Soba is so choppy and tasteless. Tempura has SO MUCH batter on it - so heavy and super oily.

Soft opening had a 40 minute wait. Gohei has their own noodle machine. I ordered the shrimp tempura soba and Gyusuji. Shrimp was freshly fried. Shrimp tempura waited for soba to be cooked, made the tempura cold. Soup base was good. Gyusuji is beef tendon and beef braised over soba. Beef serving was a palm full. Beef was soft. Soup broth is much flavorful than shrimp tempura. Gohei spoon is very oddly designed. Ceramic spoon is straight, making it very difficult to spoon soup. Each soba is $13.00 read more

When I confirm with the cashier he said I need to pay extra for the side, which I need to pay a few bucks more than what I originally ordered. That could be a miscommunication, that's fine.

Another visit to Japan Village, this time to try the udon at Gohei. I chose the Niku Udon and added tempura flakes. Broth - pretty good fish and seaweed base, A little sweet but that is expected. Noodles - thick and with a satisfying chewiness. Good. Toppings - the beef topping was plentiful but as sweet as advertised. Perhaps I should have added the beef tendon instead of tempura flakes to punch up the umami. The scallions help but, you'll need to add the table side pepper for balance. On the whole, this is a decent value for $12, so I recommend if you;re in the area. read more
