Westwood has an udon restaurant! Located on Gayley Avenue, across the street from Whole Foods Market in Westwood Village, Musashiya had its Grand Opening on October 28th.
The udon is quite good, though I’d place it below Marugame Monzo and Oumi Sasaya for now.
The service on opening night was (how shall I put it kindly?) decidedly slow. Very slow.
I’d wait until after the opening week before hitting it.
I think their “best udon in america” sign is a little prepature. Monzo and Oumi Sasaya are both amazing so the bar is high. Still, for the westside, definitely interested.
Premature indeed. Last night, at least, it was more like “the best udon on the Westside, IF you sit around long enough to for it to come out of the kitchen”…
I was about to ask you how the tempura was. Was it totally overrun w/ students? That is usually my great fear about going to any eatery in the Village…
