    Food stand at farmers market.
    Victor G.

    Kunugi Noodle sells many varieties of Udon noodles, they also have tempera shrimp, inari sushi. they're here at the foster city farmers market saturdays till 1:30 eats: 1 piece tempera shrimp (2) -nice thin breading of panko crumbs on the outside. slightly oily -juicy tender piece of shrimp within the panko crumbs. was planning to eat elsewhere initially. that's why ate only 1 tempera shrimp. many other food vendors also here.

    BEEF UDON
    Jaimee B.

    Super yummy beef udon and inari sushi! Have always wanted to try this place from the Foster City Famer's Market. The broth for the udon is really tasty and comforting. There's a slight sweetness which conpliments how savory it is. The beef is tender and has a great bite and adds great flavor. The udon noodles are a satisfyingly chewy. The inari sushi rice is a nice appetizer to snack on while your udon is being made!

    Udon time!

    Delicious cue cue udon noodles with green onion and kake broth. We ordered their most basic version because it was our first time trying them out. However, if you're a chicken, beef, or shrimp tempura fan, there are definitely more expansive menu options for you. They also have pairings with some other menu items too. We'll definitely return the next time we're in the area to try more of their options. The broth is light and savory without being too salty and the noodles have such a nice chew. I saw they also do online ordering, so if you want to skip the line, you can use Yelp or DoorDash to cut a few minutes off your wait time.

    Wow, what a gem. What a find! Came here on a gorgeous sunny Saturday morning to discover homemade udon noodles in this pure, balanced, and flavorful clean broth with scallions and crispy, warm shrimp tempura. The udon and broth is so light and delicious, nothing like the oil-and-salt- heavy broth you sometimes get at restaurants. You can sit at a table while the kind owner/chef cooks next door. I cannot wait to try the other udon soups here and am yelling from the rooftops to friends and fam how great this spot is. Welcome to the neighborhood! 5 stars!!!!!!!!

    Handmade udon noodles. They usually sell out before the 1pm closing time. You can taste the difference in the noodles chewy and light very different than the frozen ones. One man show. This isn't going to compete with a 100$ udon speciality restaurant in Tokyo. There are very few places where you can find fresh hand made soft/chewy noodles made to order in front of you. Hopefully the owner/chef hits it big. Chicken Udon: fresh hand made udon noodles in a soy sauce style broth + chicken thigh. Little salty like all Japanese food.. but good Different Japanese udon soups; everything is made on coleman type propane stoves in front of you in a tent. There is also a stir fried udon noodles and other hand made items like inari and shrimp tempura. The inari is made fresh; it doesn't have that canned slightly MSG sweet flavor you find in most Japense delis. Problem w/the togo orders is the udon soaks up the broth and the noodles turn mushy vs. chewy. Owner chef is from japan. He is makes the noodles before opening. Like the alley way noodles shops in Japan. One person trying to make a living. Insane amount of work for 1 person. Only 1 day per week on Sat only. 9am-1pm This is part of the farmers market every sat in the orchard supply parking lot. There is one costco type fold out table w 4 chairs on the side where you can sit and eat. You can eat there from a plastic bowl or take it to go. Look for the farmers market in the parking lot and walk the booths till you find him at the end

    A very wholesome spot - you'll always see a small crowd waiting around this stall during the Foster City farmer's market, due to Jack's wonderful customer service and delicious food! Though him and his assistants are certainly busy keeping up with the many food orders, he always takes the time to say hi and is incredibly kind! Absolutely one of the highlights of the farmer's market. My bf and I have been regularly stopping by for a few years, and every single time, we have to get the shrimp tempura (it's seriously so good!!). You also can't go wrong with the udon or yakisoba. Full of flavor and tasty! I'd recommend placing your order first and then walking around the rest of the market while you wait :) Enjoy!!

    Shiritaki wakame (zero cal yam noodle and seaweed) with tempura prawn
    Nathan T.

    Coming here for awhile. Always enjoy the soups and the nice chef; it's become a new Saturday AM ritual. We like the shiritaki wakame soup as it's filling and almost zero calories, will keep you going all morning. Throw in a few tempura shrimp for kicks. Disregard the karens in the other comments whining about bags and Doordash, or the weather, or whatever else peed on their rug; it's immaterial. Soups come in a container for take-out, you won't get cooties. My only issue is by the time we get home, it can be a bit cooled off, so we nuke in the microwave for 1 minute and it's smooth sailing. Bonus: you might get a couple Hi-Chew in the take-out for dessert.

    Perfect Shelter In Place takeout!!!!
    Nate K.

    Probably the best udon in the Bay Area! Souper simple beef broth and amazing curry dishes. Whether rain or shine, this small stand at the end of the Foster City farmers market is the perfect Saturday morning spot to satisfy your noodle addiction or a great spot to grab and go, as we are all sheltering in place these days.

I think they use a waitlist (Barcodes at the door) once the restaurant is full which it was by the time we left. A beautifully designed Japanese themed restaurant with regular tables and chairs as well as the Japanese seating style "horigotatsu" which features a low table set over a sunken floor, allowing diners to sit comfortably on the floor while letting their legs dangle into the pit like a traditional chair. They also have bar seating if that is what you prefer Staff was diligent bringing menu, water and table setting once we sat down. They were also very attentive with topping up water and checking on us throughout the meal. Several servers catered to us serving, cleaning and answering questions, They work together well as a team. We ordered... Large hot sake just to wet our whistle! Hamachi Carpaccio... surprisingly thick slices of raw hamachi smothered in onions and sauce. Very good Kodawari Roll... Tons of Yellowtail, Avocado, Salmon, tuna and Tobiko with a spicy mayo sauce. A fish lovers dream Chicken Karaage... tender nuggets of chicken deep fried. Savory and juicy served with a creamy spicy mayo dipping sauce Chirashi Don deluxe... Super fresh assorted fish over flavored rice. Salmon Belly, Hamachi, Scallops, Tuna, Shrimp, Ebi and more. Amazing! Premium Beef katsu... This was the show stopper. Breaded and gently fried tender beef brought to your table 80% rare. They provide a sterno powered grill plate for you to finish the grilling the beef slices to your liking. Served with salt and two kinds of dipping sauce. Bowl of white rice to accompany the beef. The meat was extremely tender and very flavorful. $35 well spent. We did question the price but its well worth the price. We ate it all and came out rolling... we were going to get dessert but no way was that going to happen with all that food.

Everything we ordered was absolutely scrumptious and worth the price. Our favorites were the Crunchy Lobster Roll, packed with lobster salad, salmon, avocado & cucumber, tobiko, and topped with crunchy flakes and house sauce (a fresh roll) and the Wagyu & Sea Roll, which combined shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, and seared Kobe beef (a cooked roll)! Super rich and satisfying!! The Scallop Butter Yaki was also delicious, with very tender and naturally sweet scallops and seared mushrooms in house-made butter sauce. We also ordered Oyster Shooter, a good combination of oyster, ikura, quail egg, ponzu sauce, and sake. Shot was not too strong but very well combined! The highlight of our meal was definitely Beef Tongue Skewer (a daily special). We're very impressed, as the skewer was incredibly tender, fresh, and melted in our mouths. We paired everything with a Sho Chiku Bai Nigori sake, which is soooo warm and comforting, complemented our meal nicely. Service was very quick, and the staff was very attentive throughout our visit. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! This is my 2nd time here and and I'll definitely be back for more.

Here's what we had: Steak Tartare: Very small portion, but it was the only dish that tasted okay. Mentaiko Udon: Dry, like very dry. The noodles were oily but somehow still lacked moisture. I think this dish would work much better with sauce rather than just oil. Sizzling Ribeye Beef: I was really looking forward to this dish, but the flavor was just... weird. It was overly sour and salty. Maybe it's just not my taste. Kamo Rosu (Pan-Fried Duck Breast with House Sauce and Mustard Seeds): Unfortunately, this dish missed as well. Duck meat had a strong odor that overpowered the seasonings, and I think it didn't seem to be prepared properly. To be honest, all dishes were expensive for the quality. None of them stood out enough to make me want to return. In fact, most were just disappointing. Staff were friendly tho. But based on this experience, I would not come back.
