UDON, Spain’s leading chain of Asian restaurants, continues its U.S. expansion with the Jan. 21 opening of a location in North Miami’s Aventura Mall. After debuting in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood in 2022, this will be the second South Florida location for the internationally renowned brand. A third location will open at Dadeland Mall in 2025, underscoring the popular appeal of UDON’s flavorful, healthy Asian cuisine.
In celebration of its grand opening in Aventura, UDON is launching an exclusive promotion from Jan. 21-26. The first 50 guests each day each will receive a complimentary Corral Chicken Yakisoba when they sign up for UDON’s official loyalty program, UDON Lover.
“We are thrilled by the overwhelming response to UDON’s flavor-packed, nutritious, responsibly sourced Asian cuisine at our Wynwood restaurant, and we look forward to building on that enthusiasm in Aventura,” said Jordi Vidal, CEO and Co-founder of UDON. “With this expansion, we hope to share our love of Asian cuisine that emphasizes flavor and health with even more South Florida locals and visitors.”
Traditional Asian noodles – udon and ramen– take center stage on the menu at UDON Aventura, which will be open for lunch and dinner in the third-level Treats Food Hall at Aventura Mall. Inspired by 400-year-old traditional Japanese noodle bar recipes and driven by continued innovation in preparation techniques and sustainability, Culinary Director Alberto Gómez creates UDON’s original recipes using only fresh, high-quality, often organic and locally sourced ingredients that are cooked to order.
Fan-favorite noodle dishes include Corral Chicken Yakisoba with cornflake-breaded chicken, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, Japanese onions and yakisoba sauce, and Curry Ramen with ramen noodles, marinated pork belly, a mixture of miso and curry, bamboo, shiitake mushrooms, marinated soft-boiled egg and Japanese onions. UDON’s menu also offers a wide variety of Asian-inspired tapas, from Pork Buns to Prawns Tempura, along with rice bowls, and the inventive, made-to-order Noodle Rolls – sushi rolls prepared with noodles instead of rice. Plant-based guests enjoy a selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
UDON Asian Food currently has 74 restaurants across Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Ecuador and future openings in México and Chile.
