How we read reviews →Melbourne CBD udon institution with bowls from $6 and a build-your-own topping bar.
A no-frills, fast-turnover self-service udon counter on Bourke St. order, collect your own toppings, eat quickly and return your tray; cramped and loud at peak lunch and dinner but never precious about it.
Self-serve free toppings bar (spring onion, pickled radish, ginger, tempura flakes), a pay-then-collect ordering system, and an on-request soft-boiled egg add-on for the broth.
Multiple reviewers who have lived in or visited Japan compare the udon and broth favourably to what they had in Tokyo, praising the self-service system as authentic to Japanese udon bars.
Exceptional value repeatedly cited by reviewers. most bowls sit under $10-15, with several calling it the cheapest satisfying meal in the Melbourne CBD.
