This modern noodle bar specializes in traditional preparation methods combined with premium ingredients, creating bowls that honor centuries-old recipes while meeting contemporary quality standards and dietary preferences.
The restaurant's signature offering centers on meticulously prepared broths that require over 12 hours of cooking, with the acclaimed braised beef broth taking 18 hours to achieve its rich, intensely beefy flavor using fresh beef marrow, bones, and traditional Chinese spices. Popular menu items include Braised Wagyu Beef Noodle ($19.50) and Braised Beef Tendon and Shank Noodle ($16.50), available in original, pickled vegetable, or spicy variations. The open kitchen design allows diners to observe the careful preparation process while creating an interactive dining atmosphere that connects customers with their food preparation.
Located at #B1-22 Funan and operating as part of the respected Paradise Group network, LeNu maintains the casual, authentic atmosphere of traditional Chinese noodle houses with small tables and stools that encourage quick, satisfying meals at any time of day. The restaurant has earned recognition with 4.5 stars on TripAdvisor and ranks among Singapore's top noodle destinations, attracting both casual diners seeking comfort food and serious food enthusiasts pursuing authentic Chinese flavors.

Cassia A
Honestly the beef was really tough and the broth was nothing special. Expensive for what it is, I think.
There was lots of space to sit on a Friday at 6pm and no wait. Seems like a good place for a family dinner.

Really good as always, tried the fish with salted vegetable today which was pretty good. And the tomato with chicken cutlet though I would say the cutlet would need more seasoning as it was a little bland today, Other then that side dishes were good as usual and staff were fast and swift.

Food was tasty and the ongoing promotion of 50% off the second bowl was a good deal.
The fried chicken had a really crispy exterior, which was lightly seasoned with pepper and five spice powder. The noodle was well cooked and coated with the aromatic scallion oil. The dumpling was fresh and generous with the fillings. The sauce was slightly tangy from the vinegar without being over powering.
Staff was prompt and friendly. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Donkey and I had a delightful dining experience at LeNu Chef’s Wai Noodle Bar in Funan. Despite our late arrival, just 45 minutes before closing time, we were warmly greeted by the bustling yet inviting ambiance of the restaurant. The staff, especially the attentive Charles, demonstrated exceptional patience and professionalism, addressing all our queries and offering insightful menu suggestions with care and expertise.
We decided on the Braised Wagyu Beef and Braised Marbled Beef, both served with generous portions of garnishes and chili sauce that added an extra flair to our meal. In addition, each dish was accompanied by an appetizer - one with Chilled Silke tofu with century egg and the other with braised beancurd in beef broth (warm). When I requested additional garnishes, chili, and napkins, the staff promptly catered to our needs with a smile, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction.
What truly stood out was the seamless teamwork and positive vibe among the staff. From the kitchen to the dining area, everyone worked together harmoniously to ensure a pleasant dining experience for all patrons. The genuine joy and willingness of the staff to exceed expectations created a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for diners.
Overall, our visit to LeNu Chef’s Wai Noodle Bar was characterized by exceptional service, delectable food, and a vibrant team spirit that made our dining experience truly unforgettable. We left the restaurant feeling content and grateful for the exceptional hospitality shown to us. The 50% discount on the second bowl of noodles was a delightful perk that enhanced our meal even further.

Service staff is prompt and friendly. Clean environment. Food is served within reasonable waiting time.
Noodles are flavourful. Chicken cutlet is crispy and not oily. Braised beef tendon is soft and yet chewy. Pork wantons 抄手 are good too. Non-spicy requests are acceded. Recommended.
Jing Jie Ng
Large portion of noodles served.
You can topup for an appetiser and a drink, which is worth it.
I ordered the beef tendon dry la mian, and they were generous with the tendons and the overall flavor was great.
The vegetable pork soup la mian was average at best.
David Dars
I’m happily impressed! We had chicken cutlet / soup and chicken cutlet/dry noodles. Shared appetizers were bamboo shoots and braised beef curd. I wasn’t expecting much from the appies but both were delicious particularly the bean curd. Location is a shopping mall so don’t expect much from the atmosphere but highly recommended if you want a nice warm bowl of comfort food!
J Chua
Simply love LeNu’s noodles. Get to eat more variety this time with my family. All are good in general except the fish fillet is plain by itself. My family likes the dry noodle best. Will definitely eat at LeNu again in the future but for 4 ladies, can just order 3 bowls with side dishes.
Li Ling Koh
The braised pork belly noodles is delicious! The pork is tender and flavourful. I always order a pork bone soup to go with it. Reminds me of the collagen soup at Beauty in the Pot. The silken Tofu with century egg complements the noodles very well.
Thomas Lim
Very nice noodle place. Lots of variety.
Staff are friendly and good services too. I really liked their braised beancurd, so addictive!
Must try the vinegarette noodle with dumpling.... you sure will come back for more.
They do run tea time promo where you get a set (main + side+ drink) for only $10.90. Really worth it!
Ling C
Food good as usual. Helpful and courteous staff. The pork and beef based soup are very tasty. Our order fried bean curd with fish paste was quite oily. I probably won't order that again.
Chen Family
Part of the Paradise group. Small but pleasant nook in B1, less crowded than other areas. Ordering via QR code. Service was pleasant and friendly. Beef tendon noodle soup was good, if perhaps lacking the final richness. No post MSG syndrome. Pork ribs were tender, if a little too fatty, while lettuce vegetables were simple and pleasant. Price was reasonable.
Dru Lu
Consistent good quality noodle. Easy option for a comfortable quick meal that is children friendly. Loved their chilli oil which automatically comes with delivery but you have to ask for it in restaurant.
Note that if you get spicy version of the noodle it’s “ma la”. I prefer to get plain version then add the delicious chilli oil myself.
