They got this high school canteen-style layout streamlining everything from menu selection to payment.. They conveniently displayed heaps of sides for you to freely pick up as you mindlessly shift towards the cashier. I snowballed from under $10 Curry Udon to God knows what (reminds me of my mid-quarantine credit card bill). They are good. But you gatta appreciate their hustle though.
Doesn't change the fact that this place is a decent no-brainer joint to squeeze in a quick meal. As long as you remain semi-conscious, your meal shouldn't cost you more than $10. Quick, friendly service and tables were just sticky and stained enough to give off that all too familiar "I don't get paid enough for this shit" vibe. Classic. But who cares? Food was tasty. So let's not get greedy here - you get what you pay for.
The price was an absolute bargain, but I'm willing to pay 1 or 2 more dollars for hotter soup.
Very simple yet satisfying meal, the broth is very much like a sukiyaki styled broth, light sweet but so tasty, I got my udon with beef and onsen egg plus tempura on the side

This is the place to go if you want a quick fuss-free meal. Here's what I love about it:
1. Very clearly defined range of meal options. I always go for the noodles with half boiled egg. Prefer if the eggs are warmer, but otherwise at $5.9 it's a steal!
2. Well-marinated fried chicken. It's clear that chicken karaage is their forte - the miso taste made munching on the fried chicken oh so satisfying. Only costs $1.5 per chicken
3. Unlimited bonito flakes and spring onion
4. Options for curry udon and rice bowls, but i always go back to an udon soup because it's so heartwarming on a cold day.
5. Quick meal! I'm in and out within 20 mins.
Money saving tips: Come at 11-11:30am and get a free tempura. Cheap $5.9 for all dishes after 8:30pm (late dinner noodles? yes please!)
Would def. return!
Fresh & tasty hot or cold udon with free toppings (spring onions, bonito, seaweed, chilli crunchy tempura batter plus a couple more) and hot/cold tea .
Price will vary depending on the size and any additions you might pick up on the way to checkout. (assortment of tempura, beef sukiyaki, egg etc)
This is the only restaurant I know of in Melbourne that only serve udon noodles and it is good.
I love the beancurd served in both of two Udon Yasans very much, other foods are also good... Can anyone recommand something similar in Sydney?
Restaurant located on Bourke Street just before Russell Street. Very friendly service. Love the their ordering system. Very quick and simple. We ordered sukiyaki udon and udon prawn tempura, Vegie tempura and fried chicken... the food so simple and nice... we will be back again
Food - you can choose udon set, either big (pay extra $2) or small (normal price at $5.90). Then you can take others as well. Tha taste was overall good.
Price - it was much affordable with the any portions of the ramen (big and small). We have ordered total $21.90 for the whole meal.
Services - They provided a very friendly services but a bit disappointed of not allowing a cash pay after made a decision of paying by card due to the surcharge.
For simple Japanese food at rock bottom prices, this place ticks all the right boxes.
The ambience is not the best but the tasty food at unbelievable prices more than makes up for it. The Japanese curry rice was nice and fluffy with just the right amount of umaminess in the curry sauce. The udon was springy and the broth was full of flavour. The side dishes were fresh and in particular the tempura was extremely crispy.
For a quick no frills meal, Udon Yasan is the place to be!
This is one of my favourite lunch spots in city if I am eating alone.. I always order the plain udon soup and will add some fried chicken & tempuras on the side.. there is also a condiments counter where you can add these condiments such as spring onion, bonito flakes, radish mince, ginger mince, crispy crumbs & etc for free.. I love the fried chicken there as the quality is pretty well maintained every time I go and it never disappoints me.. the chicken is flavourful on the outside & tender juicy inside.. the udon however was not the best but the price of udon is very decent...
Love the chicken curry and udon beef noodle soup and eggplant crisps. I will def be back but will skip the crab meat nugget and chicken. I’ll try other side dishes next time. The free condiments def added more flavour to the food. Take advantage of it. The soup is so good for the cold weather
Pretty descent, got the #2 Sukiyaki Udon ($8) & an ebi tempura ($3).
The soup was quite light but pleasant, the beef wasn’t great quality with a lot of fat, but the tempura was good & the udon portion was very nice.
Worth it? 4.5/5
Taste? 3.5/5
A Self Service restaurant offering freshly made, quality, "Sanuki" style Udon at pocket friendly prices.
If you are like me, who like udon, but not the supermarket pre-packet variety, then you are in for a treat at Udon Yasan. Fresh, thick, chewy and eminently slurpy. Max comfort food. There are also several rice dishes, tempura and other side dishes on offer.
This is a self service restaurant - you take a tray, place your order, pick up your bowl of udon and pay. At the end of the meal, your place your tray and bowl at the rack provided. If you have been to a Ikea restaurant or a university canteen, you know the drill.
we got the kake udon (#1), sukiyaki beef udon (#2), prawn tempura, crabstick tempura and crab cream croquette on the side.
the udon is super worth the money. $5 bucks for a plain udon and the portion was good! just a note, the udon is rather thick compared to other places. the shop also has a condiments section but if you want mayo it’s 50€ more. the prawn and crabstick tempura were good. we’d definitely recommend getting the crabstick at least! the crab cream croquette was 99% cream but at least it tasted good. for the price we really can’t complain. will be back to try more items! sugoi 🤩
The prices have increased and they no longer have free cold green tea but still my favorite place to go for udon (*˘︶˘*).｡*♡
Cheap, consistant and delicious. Have visited maybe over a dozen times.
Perfect location too so I hope they don't relocate despite it being a small diner. It'll probably fit max 20 people seated.
There are options you can add, as shown in my photos I picked out fried fake crab meat and fried eggplant. Sometimes theyll have fried half boiled egg and it is amazing.
There are soft drinks/tea/water and you also get a wide selection of free condiments (spring onions, minced white raddish, chilli flakes oil etc)
I wish I could give this place 6 stars! Instantly one of my favourite Japanese eateries. The quality and quantity of food far exceeds its humble pricing. 🍜 I tried the kitsune udon, the broth was light, udon just the right texture, and both the sukiyaki beef and beancurd packed a load of authentic flavour. The tempura eggplant was super yummy and so satisfyingly crunchy!! They also have a condiments station which has sides like spring onion, bonito flakes and various sauces, so thoughtful and generous 💛 I will definitely be back!!
