Fast food udon joint has buffet-style condiments

Sany0627

When you're hungry in Tokyo in the middle of the afternoon, your options on where to eat are limited. We tried getting sushi or yakitori, but it was 4PM and most places didn't open until 5PM. We finally stumbled upon this fast food buffet-style udon joint on Dogenzaka. We walked in, and a guy took our order for the style of udon we wanted. I got hot onsen tamago. After that, we went down this cafeteria-style row filled with fried stuff—kakiage, squid legs, fish, chicken, eggplant, konbu, etc. I topped off my custom-made meal with a mentaiko-mayonnaise onigiri, and that was it. Was it yummy? I was so hungry at the time that I thought so, but in retrospect, I give it a 6/10.

Update: I forgot to write about the price. Pretty cheap. The basic noodle bowl was something like 250 yen for a Medium bowl (which was huge). Each condiment was between 30-150 yen (30 for a slice of lotus root, 150 for jumbo shrimp.) There were three of us, and we got three bowls of noodles stacked with fried stuff plus two beers. Total was 3000 yen, or about $30, so $10 each with a beer, and we couldn't even finish all our food.

But how much was it?

omg, what a great idea. What's the exact location? Or maybe they have a website?? I wanna check it out next time.

Wait so it's not really a buffet as there's price tag on top of each ingredients, right?

I second icis, where is this? I need to try it out!
