The Noodle That Defines Comfort
Udon (うどん) are thick, white Japanese wheat noodles — chewy, substantial, and incredibly satisfying. While ramen gets the headlines, udon is the quiet workhorse of Japanese cuisine: the bowl you eat when you want something filling, warming, and unpretentious.
What Makes Udon Different?
Unlike ramen's springy thinness or soba's nutty buckwheat edge, udon noodles are thick and bouncy. They have a satisfying chew (what the Japanese call koshi) that holds up to rich sauces and hot broths alike. At Teriyaki Express, we serve our udon stir-fried with your choice of protein and our signature sauces.

Why Udon Is the Perfect Perth Lunch
Udon is filling without being heavy. The thick noodles provide sustained energy for the afternoon, and the stir-fried preparation means it's ready fast — essential when you've got a 30-minute lunch break in the Perth CBD.
Our Teriyaki Chicken Udon is one of our most popular dishes. The chewy noodles soak up the caramelised teriyaki sauce, and the grilled chicken adds a smoky char. It's the bowl that keeps our Raine Square regulars coming back.
