Tag-ulan nanaman and that means, it’s the best time to enjoy hot soup and noodles! My husband and I found ourselves stranded in SM Aura as the rain poured heavily outside. All we could think of was ramen but we both know that a bowl of ramen can be expensive. Walking around, we checked out the restaurants at the Ground Floor of SM Aura.

Nadai Fujisoba had a very interesting store front. They even have an interactive screen where people like us can check out their menu and of course, prices. We were surprised how affordable their ramen was, which it turns out is actually Japanese Udon. According to the staff, Japanese Udon uses buckwheat noodles which is more affordable than ramen but is actually more healthy!
I was sold, mura na, healthy pa! So we decided to have our accidental date at Nadai Fujisoba and here’s what we ordered.
What to Order at Nadai Fujisoba Menu
Here’s all that we ordered at Nadai Fujisoba, we got carried-away by the affordability plus – gutom talaga kami! But of all the items, here are my top 4 must-order at Nadai Fujisoba.
1. Aka Fuji Udon P280 – this is the spicy version of Fujisoba’s bestselling udon. It’s perfect for the rainy days and I like how the red miso paste with chili makes this dish exciting to eat. Sometimes, eating a bowl of noodles can be quickly satiating but this Japanese Udon was great until we reached the bottom!
Tip: Enjoy a bowl to share so you and your date or companion can taste a variety of Japanese Udon. It was fun tasting different versions and talking what our favorite was.
2. Ebi Ten Tempura P240 – each serving at P240 already lets you enjoy 3 huge pieces of prawn tempura. It was very light yet tasty, one of the best tempura I had! Nadai Fujisoba made me forget all the other tempuras I had in my life, ganon kasarap!
This is perfect to enjoy side by side with your Japanese Udon noodles. Very satisfying and enjoyable to take slurps of your soup and soft udon noodles, then follow with this crispy tempura dipped in sauce.
3. Salmon Belly Donburi P280 – new on the menu, this rice meal is so good on its own. For just P280, you can enjoy melt in your mouth salmon belly in tasty teriyaki sauce. If you’re on a budget and want to dine at Nadai Fujisoba, this is it!
4. Matcha Ice Cream P100 – at Nadai Fujisoba, you can stay for dessert. Their matcha ice cream is worth trying, it is quality matcha that’s very creamy and flavorful. I’ve tasted other matcha ice cream from other restaurants that are not as tasty and in fact, not really feel like ice cream but are very icy. Nadai Fujisoba’s matcha ice cream will not disappoint, it’s very packed with matcha flavor, creamy, and stays solid long until it melts in the warmth of your mouth.
The only thing I hope Nadai Fujisoba would have is coffee! We coffee addicts love to enjoy good food with coffee, maybe Nadai Fujisoba can introduce Japanese coffee in their menu? I can only imagine enjoying their rice meals with hot coffee, they also have pudding but it was sold out during our visit.
Overall, our Japanese Udon experience at Nadai Fujisoba in SM Aura was fantastic. We didn’t expect the quality of food at such affordable prices, lalo na yung Salmon Belly Donburi and Aka Fuji Udon! We can’t wait to come back again and bring our son with us.
Domo Arigato Nadai Fujisoba!
