Tempura Udon by Mizuya is, as its name suggests, a casual Japanese restaurant specialising in tempura and udon. The CBD eatery offers wallet-friendly tempura sets under $20++. There’s the Ebi Tempura ($17++), which comes with three prawns and four vegetables paired with your choice of mushroom rice, udon, or soba. Regulars love the light and crispy tempura batter that pairs well with the QQ udon noodles and savoury broth. The restaurant offers loaded chirashi don bowls and sushi too!

Tamoya Udon & Tempura is a popular udon restaurant by Chef Tamotsu Kurokawa, the “Sanuki Udon Champion” of a Japanese reality cooking show. They currently have 17 outlets across the globe, as well as two in Singapore: SingPost Centre and Plaza Singapura! The specialty restaurant offers fresh udon that’s made with a mix of three Japan-imported flours. The noodles are also hand-pulled daily, so they’re firm yet slightly chewy.

4. Tokyo Soba 

Despite not having “udon” in its name, Tokyo Soba also serves up a mean bowl of udon too. Mains here are relatively affordable for its Tanjong Pagar location; go for the signature Prawn Tempura Udon ($18), which comes with huge tempura prawns and a heaping bowl of udon noodles. During our visit, the noodles retained their springiness despite sitting in the broth for a while. The prawns were crispy and light too! FYI: this eatery originated in Tokyo’s CBD before opening its first overseas branch in Orchard in 2016.

They have four locations across Singapore: NEX, Changi City Point, Causeway Point, and Jurong Point.

6. ENchanko Hotpot and Kamameshi

While not exactly an udon restaurant, ENchanko Hotpot And Kamameshi is said to be the first restaurant in Singapore to offer the Tokyo-viral flat udon, AKA Himokawa Udon ($6.80++). Dunk this in their Signature Tori Chankonabe (from $30++), a collagen-rich soup that’s traditionally served to sumo wrestlers, for the perfect silky-smooth sheets of noodles. The broth also comes with other liao such as Mochi Kinchaku: tofu pouches that are filled with mochi and tied up.
