I have been doing some heavy late-night East Village dining lately, it's something I love to do. St. Marks and its vicinity is filled with some great Japanese bites, and one place that should not be overlooked is Udon West. This is basically an Udon bar, a place to get your Udon soup on, and that is just what I did a last week at around 2am. A soothing, extremely hot, bowl of udon was placed in front of me, with shrimp temura, and I slurped the heck out of it. It was perfect.
