I'm in New York for a few weeks. Anyone know where to get good unadon?
I thought unadon was noodles?

Me to.
They have good lasagna made with fresh noodles
I guess its a bowl with eel and rice
There are a number of places in the East Village that have decent una don. Sobaya for example.
In USQ area you can try Ootoya.
If you have access to a car you can try Umeya across the GW bridge in NJ. Overkill for just unadon but their omakase is ridiculously underpriced.

That's udon.
>>7188979
that's udon
unagi + udon = unadon
>>7188979
That's udon.
Unadon is unagi (eel) donburri (rice bowl).

suffix -don means rice bowl. you might be thinking of udon, which is a type of noodle?

Afterthought - there is a place off USQ called Ennju which is inexplicably popular and also highly mediocre. You might hear people recommending it, especially the younger crowd.
It's a convenient lunch spot when you just want something hot and Japanese-ish, but if you're on a mission to eat good unadon don't get trolled into going there. Unless you have flyover-tier standards you're not gonna like it.
I wouldn't go there just for fucking eel, but Yakiniku West is probably the best (affordable) Japanese place I've been to in Manhattan.
I can't remember if it's on Tuesdays or Thursdays, but one day a week things are half price; I'd probably make a reservation.
It's (obviously) primarily a yakiniku place, but I'm pretty sure they have a good selection of other things as well. Last time I went we got a side plate of beef tongue sashimi.
