Hadn't been to Fudo Dori for a while and we decided to grab a quick bite before heading to the movies. These days there are quite a few options for Malatang in the city, but it was still quite a good fit for the Asian cuisine in fudo dori.
By now the process is almost automatic. Grab a bowl and a pair of tongs, pick up whatever you want and then line up to have it weighed and pay. The range was fairly extensive but of course not the most extensive I've had before. I like the fact that it had a good variety of veggies, seafood and offal on top of your usual meat, noodle and tofu options.
Filling our bowl to our heart's content, it was hard not to over order.
At $31 per kg, the prices were fairly standard. I was grateful that there were options for reduced spicy soup.
Getting a buzzer after we ordered, we picked up our bowl when it went off. There was a very small sauce station with one of the most limited condiment stations I had ever seen, so I didn't go for too much other than soy sauce.
With a mild amount of spice, it had just the right amount of zing, but the soup was definitely comparatively bland and one dimensional. The potato starch noodles were cooked al dente with good bounce to it. The beef was a bit overcooked but the mushrooms and veggies were quite well done. I don't consider this to be a stand out option in the city, but it was a fairly decent meal for the price.
