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.

๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ Co Chung: Is it worth the 30-min queue? ๐Ÿœ
Honestly, I came here because a friend wouldn't stop raving about it. We hit the dinner rush and waited about 30 minutes, which had me wondering: Is the hype actually real? Short answer: YES. ๐Ÿ’ฏ If your knowledge of Vietnamese food starts and ends with Pho, you are seriously missing out. T

Japan Popz Restos: Were They Worth The QUEUE?
Japanโ€™s great but the downside is the over-tourism and since we were travelling as a family of 10, it was really tough to pre book all our meals so we followed some recommendations that allows us to walk in. Of course we wanted to try highly raved restaurants and see if itโ€™s really worth the hype!
