Best Udon in Johor Bahru (JB)

Written by Updated ago

Day or night, rain or shine, we Malaysians are spoilt silly with a smorgasbord of noodle options. The udon trend has certainly taken off and we are indeed more than grateful. What started off as a consort for sushi meal or Japanese set lunch, today a good bowl of udon have patrons levitating over again and again. Just like pasta in Italy, these wheat flour strands are widely vouched in Japan as it comprises a number of health benefits too. In other words, it’s the best option when your tongue seeks shelter from oily, overwhelmingly spicy and overdone noodles which are more ubiquitous. Doused in a simple soup or stir-fried under high heat, we have scoured udon spots that steal your heart upon the first bite. And they are known to be easy on your wallet and waistline.

    Naritaya Japanese Restaurant

    A reliable Japanese restaurant that draws a diverse crowd all the time as its Halal certified. There may be a plethora of dishes to choose from but be sure of knocking yourself out with few bowls of udon noodles that are dead-drop delicious. These dense noodles come in various flavour profiles and the main draw is Kakiage Udon – a soup dish liberally loaded with vegetable tempuras made from julienned cabbage, onion and carrot. The tempura is crispy and complements the delicious broth which you will be scooping up deep spoons once the noodles have run out.
