About Mappen - Bondi Junction

Mappen serves up swift, steaming udon bowls and crispy fried sides straight down an interactive canteen counter. Grab a tray, pick hot or cold broth, and slide along the line to load up on freshly fried prawn tempura, spring onions, or crunchy tenkasu flakes. Regulars lean into the three-mini-bowl combo—pairing teriyaki chicken rice with chewy udon and small sides for an easy midday fix—before paying at the register. Wash it down with a cold Asahi on tap or house green tea.

  • Canteen-style tray line: Order noodles at the counter, then slide your tray past fried sides, soft-boiled eggs, and tempura flakes before paying at the register.
  • Three mini bowls combo: A $13.90 set combines three smaller dishes like teriyaki chicken over rice, udon, and sides for broad tasting in one go.
  • Rapid counter service: Piped-hot noodle bowls and quick cafeteria service make it a seamless stop for tight lunch breaks in Bondi Junction.

    One of my favourite noodle & curry houses. Been here many times over the years, hard to not go if I am in and around the Junction.

  • Welcoming for Unplanned Visits

    Accommodating counter service makes it easy for guests to walk in without reservations and enjoy freshly prepared food even late in the evening.

    Everything was freshly made and the place was super clean. We went there 10 mins before the closing time having no idea when it would be closed. Staff were really respectful and gave us time to finish the food.
