Is Udon Shin worth the queue? ๐Ÿคจ

๐Ÿ“Udon Shin ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

Udon Shin Singapore

๐Ÿœ Carbonara Udon - $24

Went for their signature with Bacon Tempura ๐Ÿฅ“

First few bites slayed (probably hunger talking ๐Ÿฅฒ), but it got lowkey gelat after a while.

Saving grace? The bacon tempura โ€” crispy, not overly salty, and balanced the gelat-ness really well.

Udon was thick & chewy, sauce creamy with buttery notes. Overall comforting, but not mind-blowing IMO & the price point highkey ex ๐Ÿซ .

Queue was long, but we got lucky since it was just 2 pax.

Would I try again? Probably yes when the hype dies down, & Iโ€™d definitely explore other dishes instead.

โœจ Worth a try if youโ€™re a foodie โ€” lmk what other dishes I should try next!! ๐Ÿ˜‹

Udon Shin Singapore
2/8 Edited to

... Read moreBesides the Carbonara Udon, Udon Shin offers a variety of innovative udon dishes worth exploring. From Tempura Cheese Butter Udon to Spicy Beef Udon, their menu blends traditional flavors with creative twists. Prices are on the higher side, so coming with friends to share several dishes can make the experience more enjoyable. If you plan to visit, consider going during off-peak hours to avoid long queuesโ€”especially if in a larger group. For those new to udon, the Kamaage Udon with dashi and raw egg offers a classic taste that complements their bold specialty options. Drinks like the refreshing Honey Lemonade or iced Calpis varieties pair well with the meal, balancing the richness of the noodles. Overall, exploring beyond the signature Carbonara Udon can reveal hidden gems in their menu. Give dishes like Tempura Kake Udon or Mentaiko Shoyu Udon a try for a fuller experience. From personal visits, the quality of udon noodles stands out with its thickness and chewiness, and the tempura accompaniments add that much-needed crispy contrast. Although itโ€™s slightly pricey, the unique flavors and presentation make Udon Shin a notable place for udon enthusiasts in Singapore.
