At this West Seattle spot, Tempura Udon pairs a bowl of hot udon noodles and clear broth with pieces of battered and fried shrimp and vegetables served either on top or alongside. The kitchen offers several udon variations, and the tempura version benefits from their focus on keeping the batter light so it contrasts with the soft noodles and clean soup. You get the interplay of crisp coating and tender seafood against the gentle, comforting warmth of the broth, making it a satisfying one-bowl meal. Food writers have noted that Kamei’s lineup of mixed vegetable, vegetable tempura, and shrimp tempura udon gives guests plenty of ways to tailor their noodle-and-tempura balance.[4]
