The best udon noodles I have found outside Japan are at Kunitoraya, 39 rue Ste-Anne, in Paris. A Japanese friend who spends several months a year in Paris told me about this place a couple of years ago, and I try to get there once each time I am in Paris to enjoy the totally authentic kitsune udon. There is nearly always a line, but if you go after 1:45 you probably won't wait more than a couple of minutes.
Rue Ste-Anne, near Opéra, is home to dozens of Japanese restaurants, including the best ramen place I have found in Paris -- Sapporo -- which has a branch next door to Kunitoraya at number 37.

Thanks for the tip Bob! The udon was wonderful (as was the tempura and everything else we had there) and even though we had to wait a bit (even at 2pm in August -- probably because there were 3 of us) it was completely worth it. I can see why you go there on every visit and wish they were in NYC too.
