MUSASHINO UDON KAN

Bentleigh's handmade Musashino-style udon specialist, famous for thick, chewy noodles and karaage.

Cosy, compact Japanese noodle bar where handmade udon is cut in full view of diners; casual and warm, though it turns buzzy and cramped once the nightly queue forms.

In-house handmade udon noodles cut fresh at a visible noodle-making station, a range of dipping and hot-pot broths, and house-made mochi in flavours like matcha red bean and tiramisu.

Strong lineage signal. the owner trained in Japan and the noodles follow the Musashino tradition from Saitama Prefecture, with multiple Japanese-speaking reviewers rating it more authentic than udon they've had in Japan itself.

Mains mostly under $25 for handmade noodles, which reviewers call reasonable given the labour involved, though a few feel portions could be larger for the price.
