Yudetaro Soba noodle restaurant

Yudetaro is without a doubt the most common Soba restaurant you'll find in Tokyo, they're a franchise with many branches that serve mainly Soba noodles, however you can always ask for Udon noodles if you prefer. It is a place of fast service, convenient payment system and decent Soba. The variety of toppings and Gohan dishes that you can have with it isn't bad too. Every time I come here the wait is no longer than 5 minutes and at times they only take a couple of minutes if it's not too busy. You are able to pay at the vending machine-like ticket dispenser and these are quite common in Japan, especially in these eat & go style restaurants. No matter which branch you go to you'll always get the same experience and food, kinda like Makudonarudo! The Soba here are more white in colour than the ones you'll encounter at typical Soba restaurants and they are boiled just right, not too soft or too hard, the Tsuyu here might be a little stronger too which I like. You'll be able to customise meals as you can select individual toppings like Ika-age or Tororo and if you're a first timer then there are realistic plastic models of the foods at the front of their restaurants. Yudetaro is relatively cheap compared to others places and all in all it's a place to get decent Soba and fast service.
