Tried maze soba for the first time. The noodles were springy but a little tough for me. The don was not bad; the clam was well-seasoned and paired well with the rice. The gyoza was okay, and the fried chicken was quite crispy and well-seasoned.

the most horrible experience i have ever had in a japanese (halal) restaurant. needed me to check on
This was the most horrible experience I have ever had at a Japanese (halal) restaurant. I had to check on my own orders, and they repeatedly took back my plates/bowls for not putting this and that. They came back with a 'Sorry, we are new staff.' While the apology was appreciated, it's definitely not a valid reason for such service in F&B. So what if you're new? I am a paying customer, and your food is not cheap compared to even tastier Japanese (halal) food I've had before. Secondly, I ordered the beef don with spicy level 2. I received a non-spicy dish and had to ask again. The waitress simply went to the kitchen and returned with chili/sauce, which I presumed was uncooked as it looked like a paste that should have been mixed with the meat while cooking. However, even if chili is served on the side, why have levels required before order submission? I just don't understand everything going on at this outlet at Centrepoint. Visited on 24/11/24 at 11 am; I was the first customer. I felt like telling others, 'DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR RUBBISH SERVICE & FOOD.' But I just didn't bother; everyone has their own opinion. My husband only received 2 pieces of chashu when we paid for 4. No add-ons were made, and no discount or refund was given despite informing them before eating. Horrible! This should be the last on the list of Japanese (Halal) restaurants in Singapore!

The new mazesoba restaurant in CCP falls short of expectations, leaving me disappointed with its execution and overall quality.
One of the most glaring issues is the preparation of the mazesoba itself. Instead of serving the dish as a dry noodle bowl, as it should be, the noodles arrived with about a third of the bowl filled with water. This diluted the flavors and created an unpleasant texture, making it clear that the chef neglected to properly drain the noodles after cooking. The lack of attention to this basic preparation step significantly detracted from the dish’s intended flavor and consistency.
The ramen, another menu offering, was also disappointing. The soup was overly salty, overwhelming the palate.
Overall, the quality of this restaurant leaves much to be desired. The inconsistency in preparation and the lack of attention to detail suggest that the kitchen staff needs more training to meet the standards expected of a specialty noodle shop.

Just average, seems hastily put together, especially since we were the last customers. The place itself is spacious and alright.

We went during weekend dinner time but were surprised at how empty it was. Only one other table was occupied besides ours. The staff told us the colour of the base – white, black, or red – is based on the colour of the noodles. This surprised me because the difference in Japanese mazesoba should be in their soup base (sauce), which varies in ingredients. The staff couldn't explain the difference. So, it seems their mazesoba isn't made in a closely Japanese style?
I ordered the white minced chicken mazesoba and the black cutlet mazesoba. Both were served warm, not hot. There was no discernible difference in taste between the two bowls. Their chilli oil isn't spicy at all. The chicken soup had a kind of fishy smell, which wasn't pleasant, although still drinkable. It was a bit disappointing, but the portion was okay for me, and I quite liked the noodles.
