I like this japanese noodle bar, it is close to 85degree cake shop. It also has a good neighbor for rice, Oiden, which I will write a separate review.
This noodle bar offers mainly Soba and Udon. I like the Udon here, hot beef Udon or curry Udon are both great. Cold udon or soba are also available, like the spicy miso mince pork with kimchi. They also offer side dish and tempura. The tempura here is very good because it come with the right sauce, I like the prawn, sweet potato and the fish cake.
Very good price and staffs are all very busy but friendly, you need to return your own tray after dine in.

I liked it here, enjoyed my udon noodles and loved my opportunity to pick out my sides of tempura. However I find the servings a little on the small side though the ambience was great.

love this place..... the atmosphere is really warm and feel like back in Japan's old time. The foods are very delicious. you choose what u want and top up with anything that you want. So you are only paying what you want to eat. That is brilliant. Love this place...

An incredibly good place to hit up for a lunch under $10 near the CBD. Love this place because it reminds me of those little noodle bars in Tokyo! Food is great and served on the spot as you go down the line. Seating can be tricky but is relatively ok for groups of say four or less.

This is one of the hidden treasures of food that you can find around the city. The restaurant serve japanese-styled noodles of the most amazing creativity with its main attraction being the different types of noodles and half boiled egg. This restaurant is styled to being a fast food but healthy noodle bar.

All in all, once you've tried this place you will never forget about it and always returning. A restaurant that cannot be missed.

Approximate cost: $6

Really nice little restaurant. The food is great and it is a nice atmosphere and fun with the trays. However, try to visit when it's not so busy or you'll be there with your tray forever!!

Mappen is the relative newcomer around here, from the people at Menya Noodle Bar. This little restaurant, inside the Skyview Plaza, looks like a little piece straight out of Japan. It's all communal tables with customers slurping noodles next to each other amid old school movie posters and decorations that take me right back to the earlier Japanese movie.

The concept is self-serve udon, soba and tempura as well as a couple of rice options. The cafeteria style, shifting along with a tray, is pure novelty to me, but when faced with a full queue, it's not a particularly speedy way of getting to the register to pay. The line is also held up when tempura sauce or miso soup spillages happen.

Quite an ordinary Japanese restaurant, and somewhat small. It's difficult to find a seat, and you can't save seats for your friends who are coming later. Nonetheless, food is good value for money.
