The Kineya Mugimaru Menu offers an authentic and refreshingly straightforward introduction to Japanese udon cuisine, making it a standout among quick-service eateries at St Pancras Station. What makes this establishment particularly noteworthy is its self-service style combined with freshly made Sanuki udon - a regional variety known for its firm texture and chewy bite. This commitment to traditional preparation is a key differentiator from competitors offering pre-cooked or imported noodles.
Visitors are greeted by a clean, fast-moving assembly line where they can select from hot or cold udon options, ranging from Kake Udon (served in light dashi broth) to Beef Udon, which layers tender slices of marinated beef over perfectly springy noodles. One of the highlights is the Curry Udon - mildly spicy, deeply savory, and ideal for comfort food lovers. Vegetarians aren’t left out either, with options like Vegetable Tempura Udon and customizable toppings.
Speaking of toppings, diners can personalize their bowls with tempura flakes, green onions, grated ginger, and more. The side selections add a delightful crunch and contrast - particularly the Prawn Tempura, Chicken Karaage, and Pumpkin Croquettes. Portion sizes are generous without being excessive, and prices are quite reasonable given the central London location and freshness of ingredients. Most mains sit between £6 and £9.
For travellers or locals seeking a quick yet high-quality meal that doesn’t compromise on cultural authenticity, Kineya Mugimaru succeeds with a simple formula: quality noodles, clean flavors, and efficient service. While not a sit-down experience for long lingering meals, it excels in what it sets out to do-serve honest Japanese food that’s fresh, fast, and flavorful. If you're near King's Cross, it’s a smart culinary detour worth taking.
