About
Japanese udon and tonkatsu spot in Guui known for firm housemade Sanuki-style noodles and crispy pork cutlets.
Set along Achasan-ro between Gangbyeon and Guui stations, Machoya commands attention with high ceilings, spacious seating, and an open kitchen where cooks in hygiene caps prepare house-made Sanuki udon. The spotless, airy room fills quickly at lunchtime, drawing neighborhood families and diners who queue outside on designated waiting benches or register via tablet. The core draw is the house-extruded noodle, kneaded and cut on site for pronounced elasticity. In the cold bukkake udon, the thick strands retain a firm, muscular chew, served alongside a bottle of tsuyu broth to pour over the bowl and a piece of inari sushi. For hot variations, the toriten udon tops springy noodles with fried chicken thigh that enriches the broth with savory oil, while the ebi tempura udon pairs crisp battered pumpkin and plump prawns with a gently salty hot soup. Fried cuts receive equal attention. The loin tonkatsu uses domestic pork seasoned and aged for over ten hours before coating in coarse, airy breadcrumbs; thick-cut yet tender, it comes with salt and fresh grated wasabi to balance the natural richness. Early visitors eye the limited cheese tonkatsu, an item capped at just ten servings per day that reliably disappears during the opening rush. For larger appetites, set menus like the assorted katsu or ebi tempura sets arrive with generous portions, pairing crisp shrimp resembling miniature lobster tails alongside full-sized bowls of soup rather than the customary miniature side. Orders and payments are handled via personal tabletop kiosks, keeping lunch service brisk and efficient.
