Funny how we looked for them in foster city, but then actually had their food at the Farmers Market in SF on Sundays. We tried the omu..yakisoba. Egg omelet wrapped around yakisoba. Tasty! Easy comfort Japanese food! Something our kids would easily eat up! read more

Came here at around 12:30p during the Foster City Farmer's Market. They were the first food vendor you come across from the main parking lot. At this hour, they had already sold out of chicken and shrimp. We ordered a beef udon and a beef stir fry udon. I will however say for the price I wish they gave more noodles. I was still hungry and it wasn't cheap by any means. Beef udon 4/5 The broth was flavorful and had a lot of umami. It was also very hot which was prefect for eating outdoors. The noodles are perfectly chewy and go well with the broth and the beef (although small because it got broken up) was tender and yummy. Beef stir fry udon 4/5 This was also good. The flavors are slightly on the sweeter side and sweeter than I had expected. The noodles were delicious and it was hot as well like it was right off the pan. I liked the beef mix with this but it comes in a pretty small box. Overall, if it's a nice Saturday, go support your local farmers market and warm up with delicious udon. Just don't expect it to be cheap! read more

Excellent food and service! Try the okonomiyaki and the omurice - both were so good. My daughters liked the simple udon in broth and shrimp tempura onigiri. Highly recommended!!! read more

Food - we've been to this booth at farmers several times and have had a chance to try various items. The only dish that is worth writing about is the udon with tempura. It's pricey, but everything is these days. Be prepared to wait 20-25 minutes for it though. Service - HORRIBLE! The white lady taking orders is so rude, and constantly gets orders wrong. We were thinking it's a learning curve, but no. When we politely asked for an item that is missing she kept saying it was in the bag as if we would lie. Another time it was simply a sauce. She rolled her eyes and insisted we show her the container. There is really no need to get that unpleasant over tempura sauce ma'am. As long as she's employed there, we will not be back. It's not worth the interaction. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Kunugi Noodle - Udon time! - Japanese Near Me - Foster City, California

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!!!!!!!! read more

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 read more

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!! read more

Love japanese food and LOVEEEEEEE noodles so when I stumbled across this udon stand at the Foster City Farmers Market I was really excited!... Also a little hangry. They offer cash, credit or touchless payments but their machine was down when I visited. No ATMs around so their work around was photographing your credit card to bill you later... Don't like the idea of a stranger with a photo of my credit card number. They definitely need to figure out a better system if this happens in the future. They also dont have venmo, PayPal or any other online payment system set up yet. It didn't stop them from getting customers though, as they never had an empty stall. As for the food, they make the broth at home with no preservatives or MSG. Noodles I think are store bought but they're cooked perfectly. We got the beef tempura udon and their beef curry udon with an order of 6 takoyakis. Udons were really good but wished they separated the noodles from the broth since they're only offering takeout. As for the takoyakis, they weren't anything to write home about and completely cold by the time we got home (5-ish minutes later). Taste was meh compared to other places I've had. NBD, I'll skip this for next time. Only slight negative is that I thought they were kind of pricy at $17/bowl. read more

To start off , the food is always yummy ! I especially love their pork miso udon and curry udon. The owner, who I believe is named Jack, is always so friendly and personable. The customer service is always warm and friendly. I will say it does take some time for them to prepare the food so go in knowing that it could take 15-20 minutes. I like to order asap and spend my time shopping at the farmers market so I'm not just waiting around. It is more expensive than I would like to pay but I do like to treat myself every now and then here. read more

Located in the farmers market in Foster City. We got the beef udon and beef curry udon. Both were decent, simple, and flavorful but the broth was a tad oily and the items were a bit pricey for a bowl/container. I think one might not be enough to fill you up if you don't intend to drink the oily yet yummy broth. read more

Moved to Foster City a few months ago and this is by FAR our favorite find. The stand is in the Saturday Farmers Market, and from what we know the chef home-makes his udon noodles and broth and home and prepares them per order at the market. The first time we tried it, we Doordashed our order and we loved both things we tried - curry udon as well as tempura udon. Went back in person to walk the market; we did go a little late so he had run out of the tempura shrimp. I tried the chicken instead. Still awesome. The care he puts into his cooking really translates to comfort in every bite. Would 100% recommend to all family and friends. Already looking forward to next Saturday to order again! read more

I've been enjoying the noodles (and tempura shrimp!) at the Foster City Farmer's market for over two years. Very often, this is the only reason I make a trip to the Farmers Market. I usually get two orders of noodles, one to take home and eat right away and a second to eat a day or two later. I also get an order of 5 tempura shrimp. When I walk up to the booth, the chef (Jack) offers a very friendly greeting and asks if I want "the usual"...and I always do! :-) If you've already tried the udon from KunugiNoodle, good for you. If you haven't tried them, you should...they're good for you and they're SO GOOD! (I won't tell you specifically what I order, because then you'll order it and he might be out of ingredients by the time I get there!) For the past couple of months Jack has also been at the (same location, many fewer vendors) Wednesday Foster City Farmer's Market (3pm - 7pm), so now there's a compelling reason to attend the Wednesday market as well. :-) read more

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. read more

Kunugi Noodle - Shiritaki wakame (zero cal yam noodle and seaweed) with tempura prawn - Japanese Near Me - Foster City, California

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. read more

really delicious! the broth is flavourful and light, and the noodles are super chewy, reminds me a lot of the udon we've had in japan. my favorite thing to get is the sweet tofu udon which has a lighter flavor, but if you want something more intense try the curry udon!! the owner is really friendly and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in his food. he has a lot of loyal customers (including us!!) and coming here has become part of our saturday routine :) pro tip: during peak hours it gets pretty busy, so we like to order first and then shop at the farmers market while we wait. read more

Kunugi Noodle - sweet tofu udon and shrimp tempura - Japanese Near Me - Foster City, California

So amazing. Definitely worth going to the farmer's market just to get some food from this place. Simply amazing and top notch comfort Japanese udon. Taste of house beef udon and teriyaki beef udon was so exquisite, savored every bit of it. My boyfriend was very happy to be brought this food and we enjoyed it very muc read more

I just got the breakfast special (8-10am) which is an udon and 3 shrimp tempura. It was so simple and delicious! This is the first time I have tried Kunugi and now I want to go every weekend! The tempura was perfect and the udon was al dente even though it was packaged in the soup. read more

We were craving Udon Noodles, found this place on Yelp and went right over to the Farmer's Market to check them out. I ordered the teriakyi chicken noodles and my friend had the tempura shrimp udon noodles. I would order both again but my friend let me have some of her soup and now I would order that instead. Perfect comfort food for these cold months. We will be back again! read more

the food is ok. But the customer experience is not good, always told wait for 15min but actually wait for 30-45mins. What it is worse is that we order yakisoba, but they run out of yakisoba in the last min and told us to change it to sth else that we don't want. We wouldn't waste our team if it's not yakisoba. read more

I love their beef udon. The broth is rich and flavorful. The shrimp tempura is crunchy but this time when I ordered it was a tad bit oily. Overall great food and great service. Thank you. read more

The stuffs are good. Good udon. I got some good Kake Udon (udon with broth). It was super good! Their beef is super fresh and they make it right in front of you! You can get noodles to take home and boil or they can boil right in front of you! They also give you some free Hi-Chews per order and drinks come at a small price. The service is very good and the stand manager (Jack) is super nice and welcoming. He gave me lots of free samples...:-) ONE OF THE BEST UDON IN AMERICA! read more

To start with the portion and quality of taste compared to prices it is very not worth it! Also I had 5 plates ordered and was told it will take 20-25 minutes. I was taking them back to my coworkers. I went shopping in the farmers market and came back after 30 minutes to see that they have not started on my order yet. Again, They said 10 more minutes so I stood there just waiting. I asked again it had been another 20 minutes and they kept saying 5 minutes so I do not ask for refund or to cancel. I had to wait another 40 minutes watching they just refried everything and warmed up the noodles only the eggs were made fresh so I waited total of one hour and 10 minutes and paid $24+ a plate for warmed up food that was not even that good. read more

there's always a line or small crowd gathered around this place at the farmers market. we tried several times and they were either sold out on this and that or it was a long wait because they seem to work very slow. the chef has to walk to the other side to get containers which it just seems like a waste of time and an inconvenience for them. the girl at the cashier is way too soft spoken and lack of customer service. I finally realize the reason that they are always sold out is a result of poor planning. Out of the 5 things we tried so far, none of them stood out. the udon was still a bit cling to each other. the takoyaki was from a frozen package and the sauce they provided was lack of ingredients. (where's the bonito flakes to say the least) read more

Fabulous food. Inari was the best I ever had. Blows away most restaurants. Treat yoself! read more

Good udon and noodles! Broth was pretty flavourful for their udon. Just don't get the veggie broth with tofu skin, it was a bit bland. The curry version was delicious though, and the noodles are wonderfully chewy. read more

So delicious and you can really taste his craft. The best part of the meal was his service. The only thing I can say is more chairs please! Excellent! I hope to see him get his own restaurant one day read more

Legitimately the best udon in NorCal, and just in a humble little tent at the farmer's market. The soup is incredible, we usually use the leftovers for cooking other dishes, and the noodles are nice and chewy. Best of all, the chef has such an infectious energy. He works very hard cooking for everyone is makes sure each customers gets the toppings they want and always asks if you want some candy or snacks. read more

I am sooo very disappointed at Kunuginoodle in this location. Methinks not is the right description. I ordered lunch for my family, granted it was through DoorDash, took my order and even charged my card, and yet decided to cancel my order upon their own discretion because they're closing. I made the order early enough, and granted it was through DoorDash, you must have anticipated when your restaurant closes. It's like taking in more patients with appointment and realized late that your office closes at 12 noon, and you have to tell your patients they have to either come back later or another time. It doesn't make sense! You just make people upset all around. You may have good food, and good following, but remember, you have a lot of competition within a 5 mi radius. read more

The udon here is authentic and very delicious, I almost came here every Saturday and I love curry beef most

Wow! I tried this stall out of a whim at the Foster City's Farmers Market. First off the bat, the customer service is exceptional. Super friendly cook (maybe owner?) and cashier. I tried the beef curry udon and Karage and both were delicious. The food did take a little bit longer then expected, but no complaint from me. While they did realized the wait time took longer the expected, to my surprise, they compensated with delicious tempuras. :) Even if I didn't get the complimentary tempuras, the udon and Karage are well worth the wait. Overall, great food and service. What more can I ask for? read more

If you want to eat authentic Japanese Udon, this will be one your best choice. The chef comes from Japan, and all the foods are homemade. You no need to worry about the noodles will taste bad because there will always be many free samples for you to try. Also, the chief is very skilled. He can cook many kinds of flavors, such as curry Udon, beef Udon, seafood Udon, etc. And you can also buy Tempuras, Cola cake and Sushi. Highly recommend. read more

Very nice man selling udon. Tried both the chicken curry and the shrimp tempura udon. Taste of the broth and texture of the noodle is comparable to frozen udon and broth made with store bought concentrated broth. Curry is also average and tastes like what you could make at home with a Japanese curry pack. Shrimp tempura was tasty but breading was too heavy. Ate at the table by his stall. Probably would not go again but it is probably worth a try for those who aren't as familiar with making this food at home. read more
