my friends were raving over this as their favorite udon spot. I don’t really see the hype but maybe I need to try a different bowl. It is cafeteria style and I like their add on options. The dining area and where you get your utensils was very dirty. I don’t think I saw one person cleaning the dining room the whole time we were there

When I was in line and then was at the front, me and my friends heard the employee say there was no noodles and they closed in 4 mins but it was 8pm?? I think there was some kind of miscommunication but I wish the employee would have just said to wait for them to make more noodles cause we were under the impression they were sold out??
But I was able to get Dashi Broth with Beef. It was pretty good.

Customer service from the start of the line to the end was great, the food is delicious and the staff was pretty knowledgeable on answering all our questions on the food and menu. My girlfriends first time here and she rates it a 10/10 on flavor and portion size

This was my first visit. My daughter and I shared a large bowl of Nikutama. The beef was perfectly flavored, slightly sweet, and the crunchy tempura topping added a crunchy texture. There was plenty of parking, lots of seating, and we were able to talk without yelling. My only complaint was the tray we were given was dirty, my hands got sticky touching it.

Delicious udon and the ordering process was fun that they made the order right in front of you with this semi self-serve style. The soup broth was clear and flavourful. Curry soup was tasty and flavourful as well. There were plenty of side dishes to choose from, though unfortunately, most of the time, those side dishes were cold and weren’t yummy.
There’s usually a long line up in front of this restaurant, especially during peak dining hours, but they serves pretty quick, so the wait time won’t be long.

They close earlier now. It used to be 11pm, now 10pm. The restaurant was pretty busy with a short line at 9:30pm. The medium beef udon $12 is still good. Later at night, there aren’t a lot of tempura left. You can tell the staff is ready to go home. The chef overfilled my bowl with soup spilling it all over my tray. I unknowingly put the crispy tempura on the paper dish. When I got to my table, the tempura was soaked in soup. Also, the floors were dirty.
6/5/2025 update: 10 out of 10. No line at 10:30pm on a Thursday. I’m glad Marugame is open until 11pm. I often find myself hungry late at night. During Covid, the only place open near me was 7-Eleven. Slowly restaurants re-opened and most of them still close around 9pm. Tonight I had their medium beef udon $11.65. Tamago (egg) $2.85, zucchini $1.95 and chicken $2.85 tempura. Everything tasted fine. The selection of tempura diminishes later at night, as in my case. Their excellent shrimp tempura was no more. Plenty of seats and the restaurant was quiet. Service was excellent.
Original review: I’m usually not a huge fan of udon but Marugame has it down. I had the curry nikutama udon $14. They drenched it this delicious curry sauce/broth. Thick! I love how you can add tempura bits and green onions as toppings. The other attribute I love about this place is the self service tempura station. It reminded me of mall restaurants in Japan. The line moves fast because it isn’t a traditional sit down restaurant where you have to wait for a waiter etc. This was indefinitely a good change of pace and a good meal.

This place was a big hit when it first opened where lines were formed around the block and everyone was talking about this place. Upon arrival, I waited in line for a bit, but I do not mind since I am a very patient person. Finally when I entered the shop, I was met with the aroma from their soup bases. You order in line with many options to choose from, such as you can have a plain udon, have one of their specialties or add some of their freshly fried tempura items to your udon. The vibes do give you a bit of an authentic taste of Japan. Everything was made to order which is always a plus for me. And the staffs were welcoming, well trained and understanding which made my visit a satisfying one. I recommend this place to anyone on a limited time, if you need a quick bite or if you are looking for a laid back spot. I might be back to tryout the other options they have to offer.

I’ve been trying to find the best udon in San Francisco and I think I found it at last. Broth with real umami depth, udon with the right texture, and, though it was not one of my criteria, at a reasonable price.
Let me put it more simply: it’s just as good as what you get in Tokyo.
I also appreciate the no-fuss dining hall experience, the quick ordering, and just the general unpretentiousness with a complete focus on what matters: the best damn udon in this city.
