Mappen is a self service udon noodle bar. We decided to give this place a try since it had good reviews and the price is relatively friendly. When we arrived there was a long queue, quite expected for a Friday night at the city, however, since it's a self serve place the line moved fast. The ambience of the restaurant made me feel like I was in Japan, something I enjoyed. It's quite small with limited seats however most people ate and left which I thought was considerate.
The menu had quite a lot of variation. We could choose between large or small bowl. I decided to get the large ontama bukkake udon's with two eggs. You could pick your own sides to go with your meal which costed around $2-$4. I chose tepanyaki balls and kimchi. In total my meal cost $12 which was fairly decent for a meal I thought.
I really enjoyed the udon noodles however the dish lacked soup, it need more of it. Since it's a self serve place, the soup was already pre made and my soup was lukewarm. The tepanyaki balls however were delish, crispy on the outside and hot in the inside. The 63 degrees eggs were made perfectly which I appreciated. All in all the dish was average. Would I come back? Yes, to try some of their curry udon dishes that appealed to me.
