Perfect place to go to for a cheap but satisfying Japanese meal, however the prices do quickly add up if you decide to add the different tempura sides as they aren't as good in price compared to the udon bowls.
A big fan of this authentic Japanese ramen bar. They are always so packed, not so much now because of COVID but the meals here are an absolute gem to try!
I always go here to try their udon dishes:
Tonkatsu, Mappen udon, Tonkatsu Red & Black, Koro deluxe and Kake Dragon.
You can’t go wrong with the spice level and tasty chives kick in the Kake Dragon (see pic 👍) Also, they make the best ontama. Super soft, melts in your mouth, semi-runny yolk. Perfection ❤️
You should also check out their sister store next door - Oiden Bowl. Very very tasty dishes, but with rice this time instead of udon / ramen noodles.
So happy my friend introduced me to this restaurant because it is absolutely amazing! I adored the food, very warm and homely, quick service and also just overall very delicious and cheap! This is going to be my new go to place for lunch or dinner :)
Good restaurant! A bit crowded, staff are very friendly. Communicate in Japanese to the cook so there is a vibe of authenticity. Clear sign for where trays were to be put back (eliminates the awkwardness of asking), tempura would be my recommendation (perfectly crisp.)
Cheap, fast and delicious. Definitely worth the money.
My favourite place to go for some great, cheap and filling udon. There is heaps of different udon to choose from as well as lots of Japanese street food snacks in the counter. I love their tamago udon and have been going to this place for years. Great for a quick meal as it gets quite full and busy and seating fills up fast. I can never get sick of this place!
great budgeted noodle bar. Tried their ramen and rice set and all taste good. It is more like a fast food restaurant that you should finish your meal quick and leave the table for the queue.
Mappen Noodle has always been a favourite of mine for quick meals in the city. Service is quick and efficient, food delicious, and price very affordable! Always look forward to visits to Mappen.
Efficient service and a decent bowl of udon! Even though it was rather plain, it was filling enough. Order some of the tempura sides if you're really hungry.
Good price. Good taste. Variety of choice.
Just the seat is limited but is good for breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
I’ll definitely going back a for the next visit.
