Our Signature Udon Creations

Specializing in meticulously crafted udon noodles and exquisitely light, crispy tempura, Onzen Udon and Tempura Bar stands as a beacon of Japanese gastronomy in the chilly embrace of the City of Pines.

Our commitment to authentic flavors begins with our signature udon. Each bowl of Onzen udon is a masterpiece, featuring hand-kneaded, perfectly chewy noodles swimming in rich, aromatic broths that have been simmered for hours to extract maximum depth and umami. Whether you crave the classic simplicity of Kake Udon, a clear dashi broth that highlights the noodle's texture and delicate flavor, or the savory depth of our hearty Curry Udon, infused with a harmonious blend of Japanese spices for a rich, comforting taste, every slurp promises a heartwarming and deeply satisfying experience. We also offer more adventurous options like Tempura Udon, where our famous crispy tempura pieces sit gracefully atop the steaming noodles, allowing their flavors to meld, or Kitsune Udon with its subtly sweet and savory fried tofu pouch that soaks up the delicious broth.

The 'Onzen' in our name evokes a sense of warmth, relaxation, and traditional Japanese hospitality, reflecting the comforting embrace of our hot udon dishes, which are perfectly suited for Baguio's cool climate.

The Art of Tempura

Beyond our soul-warming udon, prepare to be captivated by our sensational Tempura Bar, a culinary stage where artistry and the freshest ingredients unite. Here, an array of fresh, premium ingredients—ranging from the bounty of the sea to the finest seasonal vegetables—are delicately battered using our secret, light recipe and fried to golden perfection. This creates a symphony of textures and flavors that will tantalize your palate.

Indulge in our succulent Ebi Tempura, featuring plump, juicy shrimp that snap with every bite, or explore a vibrant selection of seasonal vegetable tempura, including crisp sweet potato, tender eggplant, fresh shiitake mushrooms, and vibrant bell peppers, each chosen for peak freshness and flavor. Every piece boasts an incredibly light, airy crispness that is never greasy, a testament to our chefs' masterful frying techniques and meticulous temperature control. Our expert chefs truly master the art of tempura, ensuring a perfect balance between the ingredient's natural taste and the delicate crunch of its coating. Paired with our specially prepared Tentsuyu dipping sauce, a delicate blend of dashi, mirin, and soy sauce, every bite is a delightful revelation, enhancing the natural flavors without overpowering them.
