Noodle Bar Near Me at Aventura Mall: UDON's Black Truffle Udon

UDON's Aventura Mall outpost at 19565 Biscayne Boulevard is the chain's literal noodle bar: the company files it as a quick-bites format rather than a full-service restaurant, and the kitchen serves homemade udon, yakisoba and ramen from 11 am until 9:30 pm Monday through Saturday. The Black Truffle Udon is $20. If you are standing in the mall searching noodle bar near me between store visits, this is the fastest bowl of fresh noodles.

UDON was founded in Spain in 2004 by Jordi Pascual and Jordi Vidal, and the brand now says it runs more than 80 restaurants across ten countries, from Spain and Portugal to Mexico, Chile and Puerto Rico. Its first United States location opened in Wynwood in 2022. Aventura followed on January 20, 2025, according to Fast Casual's report that week, and a Dadeland Mall restaurant came after that.

The two current US locations are deliberately different. The company's American site describes Dadeland as a bar plus full-service restaurant, while Aventura is labeled Noodle Bar with the tagline quick bites, same flavour. Fast Casual's opening report said the recipes draw on traditional Japanese noodle-bar cooking going back roughly 400 years, adapted by culinary director Alberto Gomez with fresh and often locally sourced ingredients. In practice you order quickly from a compact menu and get back to shopping.

The Black Truffle Udon is the dish to try first: homemade udon tossed with cream, parmesan and tartufata, with an option to switch to shrimp for $2 more. It is rich enough to share as a second plate. The Short-rib Beef Yakisoba or Yaki Udon is also $20, stir-fried with bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, carrots and Japanese onions, and most wok dishes let you choose thin wheat yakisoba or thick, chewy udon.

Corral Chicken Yakisoba, $18, is the brand's signature stir-fry, with cornflake-crusted chicken breast over noodles, shiitake, carrot, zucchini and Chinese cabbage. This season there is also a Sunny Corral version at $20 that adds a grilled egg. Pad Thai uses rice tagliatelle and comes three ways: Marinated Chicken at $18, Tiger Shrimp at $20 or Short-rib at $20. The vegetarian Yasai Yakisoba is $16 and carries broccoli, wild asparagus and bok choy.

For broth, Nabeyaki Udon at $17 is the most traditional bowl, with sliced marinated chicken, dashi, prawn tempura, spinach, a marinated soft-boiled egg, shiitake, bamboo and nori. Kimchi Chicken Udon at $18 brings a soy and kimchi broth with breaded chicken fingers, bok choy, broccoli and asparagus. The ramen side is smaller: Miso Ramen and Curry Ramen are $17 each with chashu, and Chicken Miso Ramen is $18.

The one dish to skip on a first visit is the Udon and Cheese at $16, which stir-fries the noodles with cheddar, blue cheese and parmesan and finishes them with tenkasu crumbs. Three cheeses on thick noodles is a lot of weight for a shopping break, and the truffle udon delivers the creamy idea with more finesse for $4 more. Rice eaters are covered with fried rice from $18, an Oyako Don at $18 and a Vegan Karee and Tofu bowl with plant-based chicken tenders at $16.

UDON prices its combos to include a drink, which is where the mall crowd saves money. The Wok combo is $24 for two pork dumplings, a Corral Chicken or Short-rib yakisoba or yaki udon, and a drink. The Ramen or Udon combo is $23 for edamame, Kimchi Chicken Udon or Miso Ramen, and a drink. A Noodle Rolls combo is $19 with three takoyaki and a drink, and a Rice combo is $22.

On the small-plate side, Takoyaki is $12 for six octopus balls with tonkatsu sauce, Japanese mayonnaise and katsuobushi, while Prawns Tempura is $10 for five pieces with sweet chili sauce. Pork Dumplings are $8 for five, Edamame is $6 with a choice of togarashi, truffle oil or Himalayan salt, and Miso Soup is $4. Sapporo and Estrella Damm are $6, and the house lemonade is $5.

Dessert is a single option, and it suits the format: the Coco and Yuzu Ice Cream is $6, a coconut base sharpened with citrus that cools things down after the Kimchi Chicken Udon. Soft drinks are $4 for Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero or Sprite, San Pellegrino is $5 and still mineral water is $4. No single noodle dish costs more than $22, so two people can share a combo, a truffle udon and takoyaki for well under $60.

Kitchen hours are 11 am to 9:30 pm Monday through Saturday and 11 am to 8 pm on Sunday, so Sunday shoppers lose ninety minutes of dinner compared with the rest of the week. Because this is a counter format inside a busy mall, the easiest moments are usually right at the 11 am opening and in the last hour before the kitchen closes. The surest way to skip any queue is to order ahead on UDON's Toast page for Aventura and collect the bowl when it is ready.

If you want a slower meal with a bar and table service, the brand's Dadeland Mall restaurant is the full-service option, though it sits in Kendall at the opposite end of the county. Aventura diners who prefer delivery can also find this location on DoorDash and Uber Eats. UDON also runs a loyalty program called UDON Lovers through its own app, available for iPhone and Android, and posts its current Aventura offers on a separate page of the US website.

The address is 19565 Biscayne Boulevard, Aventura, FL 33180, inside Aventura Mall, and the restaurant's phone number is (305) 974-2613. The menu is labeled for spice level, raw items and soft-boiled egg, and an allergen filter on the website lets you hide dishes with gluten, shellfish, peanuts, sesame, soy and more. Vegan diners should look for the Vegan Karee and the Yasai noodles.

The company's US site no longer lists the original 2022 Wynwood restaurant, so do not head to NW 24th Street expecting a bowl. Families with mixed tastes do well here, because the combos let one person take ramen while another takes yaki udon, and a plate of takoyaki is easy to split. After lunch, Aventura Mall's public art program, including Carsten Höller's spiraling slide tower, gives you a reason to linger before the next store.
