Marugame always hits the spot. Gotta say this place is a little bit behind the Hawaii and Bay Area location, but better than the sawtelle one.
Fast service and filling meal at a solid price point. The innout of udon for sure.

Fresh udon and it tasted really good. Just the right amount of flavor and it’s not too bland or salty. Good the creamy, beef, and tantan.

We had a good lunch here. There was a great authentic Japenease food selection. The staff was friendly and courteous. They processed our order quickly. The food was delicious. The tempura type food was the absolute best. It like being in Japan all over again!! The undon was especially good. The white rice with tempura flakes spread over the top was incredible.

Marugame serves well-portioned meals. Every time I visit, the udon warms my heart and the accompanying tempura taste and feel amazing to have. There’s usually a line but it’s genuinely not super bad. I went at noon on Sunday and it was less than 15 minutes to get my food.
Nikutama (L) – I definitely underestimated the portions. Giant bowl of udon with a rich broth – think sukiyaki but less sweet. I really enjoyed slurping on the noodles. The beef is made in bulk so they’re cooked thoroughly but wish it was softer. I added Tempura crisps that melt away into nothing so enjoy it first!
Dark Chicken Tempura – the piece I got felt like a whole thigh. The tempura layer added a soft crisp vs the typical hard crunch of fried chicken. The chicken itself felt very well seasoned and not dry inside.
Sweet Potato Tempura – this tempura was great. The soft, warm sweet potato was wrapped in a light later of tempura.

The food at Marugame Udon was fantastic! I was especially impressed with the tempura—it was huge and tasted delicious with the udon soup. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, the experience was great. I highly recommend it!

Marugame Udon delivers on flavor and freshness, no doubt about that! The udon was absolutely delicious – rich broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and super satisfying. The shrimp tempura was light, crispy, and had just the right crunch.
However, the seating area was way too cramped. It was a struggle to get to my seat, and the tight spacing made it a bit uncomfortable to enjoy the meal. If the layout were more spacious, the experience would be even better.
That said, the food was fantastic, and I’d still recommend it if you don’t mind a bit of a squeeze. 4 stars for great food, but not-so-great seating.

Authentic Japanese taste, quick service, great atmosphere. Marugame Udon is very clean and completely staffed. There are also plenty of seats and tables available. We went here around 1:00 pm for lunch. You get your noodles very fast because it’s a cafeteria style restaurant where you pick up your noodle order, move through the tempura bar for a topping, then drinks and cashier. I’ll definitely be back to try the other menu items.

Used to eat here frequently. Now they’ve decreased the size of the regular bowl, but increased the price. We asked for green onions to be put on top of our udon as they normally would, but we were told they were out “for the entire day.” When we finished our food, they had a brand new container of green onions sitting on the side. Come on man.. I get that you might need to prepare.. but don’t lie.

This location was 100% better than the UK Marugame I reviewed last time. Cold udon was firm and chewy like it suppose to. Squid and yam tempura was on par and fresh. Only the music wasn’t so loud. But overall restored my faith in Marugame outside of Japan and Waikiki location.
