Mochi Cafe    萬豚屋  

This is simply the most delicious udon in Hong Kong, if not the world. The soup base was hot and creamy, the pork was succulent, and noodles were soft. Although the line was long, it was worth the wait. The waitstaff were patient and helpful in spite of being extremely busy.

It was my second attempt to go there. Give up waiting at dinner time. But since I heard a lot of good comments about it, so I went in for an early lunch.
I ordered a beef udon. Nothing special about it, I won't say it taste horrible but the beef wasn't a good quality one. Ofter all what do you expect from a 6x dollar japanese food?
Not mentioning what happen, I think the service is the worst thing about this udon place.
So I will never bother to wait again or recommend this to anyone, time is too precious for things that is not worth it.

The first time I came upon this restaurant was two years ago, the first time I had their udon I was absolutely blown away! It was the best udon I've ever tasted at the time. Since then, I tried other udon at other japanese restaurants as well as in the hunt of great udon in other countries (after trying the udon here, it made me passionate about eating udon!) but it was just not the same, two years after, I STILL THINK THIS IS THE BEST UDON PLACE EVER!

The best udon would be the beef soup noodle, made to perfection. The bowl is always served hot, the udon itself is nice and bouncy and chewy, the soup is just unexplainable, deeelicious! There are different grades of beef to pick from, I've tried all of em but personally, theres not much of a difference there.

The only thing I don't like about this restaurant is that its too small, always have to line up during dinner time >.<, but hey, I guess its well worth it for a great bowl of udon, right? The waiters there are polite, their always busy though, no one ever picks up for phone. If you want to make reservations, try to book as early as possible, last time when they actually picked up to recieve my call, they told me I had to wait one week in advance for a table, yiks!!

DELICIOUS! OMGGGGGGGGG

I cannot rave enough about the udon here. Seriously. For sure, the service isn't impeccable and don't expect a five-star setting, but the FOOD!

Udon is chewy, "fresh" almost, and the broth is sooooooooo good. I love having one piece of udon and a bit of soup in my spoon and slurping it in my mouth, where it belongs.

When the bowl arrives, it's tumbling and toiling and bubbling and boiling. Definitely hot. It feels like each bowl of udon is crafted with care. I have tried the stone pot pork udon and the stone pot beef udon. I've also tried the stone pot pork udon in spicy soup. They're allllllllll good. The pork knuckle one I think is better than the stone pot pork udon because... well, I still think that the pork pieces are wayyy too fatty.

As a broke college kid, 50-60 HKD for a bowl of udon does seem pricey at first. But holy moly is the udon here worth it!

Service and decor could be improved, but that's not stopping me from coming here again and again and again and again! Lines are long though, and remember that they're closed on Sundays!

PS. I would NOT recommend the snacks =P

Our last day in HK and we live quite close by this shop.
We walked pass a few times and wanted to get in (but very long queue.....).

Finally we can get in....still queue up for almost 1.5 hour.

Udon is very good - i-chi-ban in HK.....super i-chi-ban compare with Taipei!!!!

Must tell Taiwanese to try when i go back to Taipei.

May the boss please open one of this shop in Taipei!!!!! You will make big $$$

4 persons for dinner yesterday night, wonderful food!

we ordered:
1) fried oyster - very good oyster taste, a bit too much bread crumb
2) crabmeat salad - un-ususally used fresh crab meat, good taste!
3) pork chop cutlet miso soup udon - pork chop average to good la, miso soup little spicy but very tasty (we finished all!!!!)
4) pork soup udon - pork no.1, soup so thick (also 100% finished)

why no drinks and sake offer? otherwise, perfect......

this is a good place to dine but difficult to book!

why no branch yet??? make us waited so long.....

but still will go there again next week, hehe!

A friend of mine recommended this place, and I had longed to come. It was a cool Saturday, and a friend and I walked there for dinner. It is quite inaccessible and hard to locate. A long queue was already there, and I waited 1 hour (from 8pm to 9pm) before I could get in. The street is unpleasant, with rubbish dropping from the buildings above, and maggots. People were dining slowly inside, and many tables were simply reserved and left idle, so the no. of seats available to walk-in customers were very limited.

We ordered cold udon with pork ($51, I think), hot beef udon with black sesame ($53, I think), rice cake with shrimp salad ($38), and grilled chicken ($38), all of them are "signature dishes", according to the waitress. By the way, they do not have sashimi and many dishes from the menu were sold out and we just carried out "constrained optimisation".

All are quite good, though I hoped they had been bigger in size. The cold udon was very special, with sea weeds, and the pork was delicious. Their udon is extraordinary in that it is elastic. The chicken was grilled with onion and garlic, and tasted very hot and good. The rice cakes were creative and crispy.

Overall I think they offer quality food with peculiar style at reasonable prices. But it is not worthwhile to wait so long.

Went there with my friends today for lunch. Needless to say it was necessary to book a table in advance. But it is a very frustrating experience because they do not seem to answer the phone for 99% of the time ... ...

I tried the curry pork 烏東which is quite nice. The 烏東is cooked just right and the soup base is not too hot. The good thing is that they do not seem to use a lot of MSG for their soup. The hot pot is an ingenious device as it keeps the food hot for a long time, which will be great especially during the cooler seasons. The pork is very tender and literally "melts in your mouth", a bit like 扣肉really, which may not be everyone's favorite ... ...

Obviously the shop is very popular and when we left, I found a lot of people waiting outside already. But personally, I don't think that it is worthwhile to wait for more than an hour to have dinner there, as was mentioned by others. Well worth a try for lunch.

Having read previous comments, i decided to try this place out WITH a reservation.... but having called them on a daily basis for 1 WHOLE WEEK i was still unable to connect to their phone.... so finally my friend and i decided to just go wait and queue up on the day...

when we got there at 8pm on a monday night, there were still a small crowd waiting outside, so we took our ticket and waited in the bar next door, making sure we had a good view of the restaurant's front door so as not to miss our table when we're called. I asked the waitress why i haven't been able to get through on their phone for a week, and she said "it's broken".... 1 week and stil not fixed?! ng hai ah... my friend guessed that they just didn't want to deal with people making reservations so they just hung up the phone...

As usual, the seafood udon was gone, so my friend ordered the beef udon in sesame soup and i had the plain pork udon. When it came it looked like a volcanic eruption or a brewing cauldron - all bubbly and steaming hot. It took a while before i could actually put anything to my mouth and taste it. The pork was 50% fat and 50% meat, which isn't my cup of tea, and also it made the soup rather oily. The udon was nice, but not so brilliantly done as to warrant any exclamation marks here. My friend's sesame soup base was quite interesting and is worth a try, and the beef is quite tender and lean, think i'll try that next time if i feel like it again.

The couple next to us ordered a very large salad with lots of tobiko on it, and also a seafood okinomiyaki, which also looked quite scrumptous, perhaps i should try their non-udon items next time too.

Add $9 for a coffee/tea/soft drink, not bad for a quick casual dinner.

Booked a table for 4 on a Saturday afternoon and even though all 4 of us have arrived (5 minutes before we were meant to), we had to wait whilst other people who walked by were given seats. This included a couple who just happened to walk by the restaurant, came in, told the waitress they needed a table for two and they were immediately given a 4-seater table. We asked the waitress how long we had to wait and was told time after time to wait a little longer. That little longer ended up being 20 minutes. Having booked a table, having all 4 of us there, waiting 20 minutes whilst others can just walk in and get a table.. That is just ridiculous.

Apart from the bad service, the food was alright, definitely worth a try as their specialty, udon is rather different from other restaurants. A little bit of advice, don't order the ice lemon tea. Yeah it looked like every other ice lemon tea, but it pretty much tasted like ice water with pieces of tasteless lemon.

We go there at 8:30pm and need to wait for a table around 15 mins. Actually, I would like to try their famous seafood udon. Too disappointed as all seafood udon and side dishes were sold out. There is not much choice as we were informed some more dishes were also sold out. I don't understand why half of their dishes were not available. We just ordered beef undon, pork undon and a deep fried soft shell crab. I just like the testure of the udon and others are acceptable. Not full and we go for sweet soup at Jordan.
