Amazing udon restaurant! The udon noodles are freshly made from scratch and have the perfect chewy texture. I really liked the spicy cold niku udon. Service was great and speedy. They give you a rating after you finish (“perfect” if you finished everything and “good job” if you finished all the noodles). The restaurant is really small and would not be good for big groups.

‘Yume’ in Japanese is ‘dream’ in English, and after trying this place for the first time, I will certainly be seeing their udon noodles in my dreams. Their cold Udon Noodles are their specialty, and I must say it did not disappoint one bit! All the ingredients they use are fresh, and their noodles have that perfect smooth, chewy, bouncy texture you want in a noodle. And of course, it wouldn’t be the same without their soup/broth, which has a refreshing, umami flavor that sets the foundation for the toppings and dish itself.

Worth the wait in line. The cold niku udon has a perfect balance of chewy noodles, crunchy tempura bits, and flavourful toppings and broth ( adds a touch of tartness). The broth in the spicy udon was rich and tasty.

Very enjoyable udon! The host who seated us was very nice and the place has a very friendly atmosphere. It really shows that you don’t need a fancy place or a huge menu to have a good food experience.

This is hands down the best cold udon I’ve tried in the greater Boston area and I imagine it’s gonna be very hard beating this place. The udon was cooked to the perfect texture leaving it with a very pleasant chew and incredible slurp. The broth coated the noodles well and imparted it’s deep beef flavor. The beef on the side was the nice and tender and was the best accompaniment to the noodles because the noodles were undoubtedly the star. I got the spicy cold niko noodles and it was the perfect level of heat that didn’t impede on the flavor of the broth and beef. The spice coated each noodle so well and made the dish a touch more savory. Service is quick and food gets to your stomach so fast, but if you stop by at a busy time be prepared for an intimidating line. But even with the potential line it’s well worth the wait!

The house-made udon had nice firmness and consistency. The soup was also nice. The only problem with the food was that noodles weren’t drained properly, and I tasted the water the noodles were sitting in before they were plated. Almost perfect.

We got the spicy cold udon and the non spicy hot udon. I like the spicy cold one more, it tasted less heavy for a summer day. The udon itself is really good, and it’s even more chewy since it’s in cold soup.

The customer service there was awesome. The food was good, but I didn’t really like the cold udon because I guess I’m just not use to eating cold noodles. But nevertheless it was really good.

A lovely little place for udon. A very simple menu that focuses on its specialty udon. Relatively cheap too!

The best udon I’ve had in my life. So much fresh flavor. The restaurant is extremely small and it gets way too busy. Recommend against the onset egg.
