4.0 out of 5 starsnot huge, but noodles are soft and thick- pencil size.

These are the best I have been able to find in terms of thickness. I cant find the super thick Udon noodles that I get in restaurants, but this is pretty good. Like the size of a pencil. They've got that odd chewy texture that I think so many of us go for. These should hit the spot for you.
I like that they are so easy to work with and do a great job of picking up and taking on flavor of sauces and seasonings. While I can find this brand in a grocery store, I still live bit of a drive away to get to it. I am much more likely to have it quicker ordering it here than making a special trip to buy it. This multi pack is a reasonable price. Some sellers gougem which makes me just take the trip to the store instead. There may be better options out there, but I haven't found any to try. It has to be thick soft noodles. That is what I am craving when I think of these Udon noodles. Not the same with dry, flat uncooked noodles.
Each package is a set of two, and there are 6 packages (of 2) in this "pack of 6". Any time I have purchased from the store, I pick up 2 packages (which is 4 small packs) as I have a huge appetite, and when I have Udon noodles, the focus in on consuming the noodles and not so much as the add ins. There are left overs, of course. And that is the best part- eating these the next day after the flavors have melded together. MMMM. When I made a dish for my husband and I recently, I again used 2 full packages and added in beef strips, snap peas, hoison sause and a couple other goodies. We each had a good sized serving, he went for seconds, and I packed up the rest for him to take as a work lunch. Sad for me as I didn't get to have a second round.
Preparing is easy. I dump them into a colander, rinse them with warm water, add them to a pan with sauce and let them pick up the flavoring. Some of the noodles stick together at first and may break- or if you let them warm up in the sauce they will un stick.
