With udon beginning to gain traction, at least on the West coast (and hopefully will soon leave ramen in the dust), this guide I just stumbled across will help you order udon like a pro.

That was cute. Most places you eat udon they have pictures or plastic models of the food, so you can just point.
We just got our first self-serve udon shop in Los Angeles. It’s pretty fun.
Marugame, righjt? They just opened a branch in SF. We also have an indepemdent, Kagawa-ya, a self-serve sanuki udon shop which opened last Spring.

“Superhero Of Culinary Justice”. We need more of those…
This is clever and taught me something new! I much prefer udon over ramen. Actually my absolutely not even a little bit authentic guilty pleasure lunch is the udon station at the big deli near my office (the larger midtown delis often have various counters for mix n match ingredient dishes, this one also has a counter for bibimbap, tossed salads and various sandwiches). You can order a broth, then they basically just rewarm already cooked udon and add whatever ingredients you choose.
