There used to be in a Marugame near my college, but it has disappeared and since then, I’ve been yearning for it. Marugame’s noodles are bouncy and the soup rich in fishy flavor. I love the ability to tempura, but my tempura was a little too soggy in the breading. But overall, loved the experience and the food

Marugame Udon – Fast, Flavorful, and Filling (Mostly)
I stopped by Marugame Udon with a buddy for a quick Friday lunch after hearing great things about their freshly made udon and build-your-own-style setup. The line was long but moved fast, and I was curious to see if it lived up to the hype.
What I Ordered:
Nikutama Udon (Regular) – $10.95
A savory-sweet bowl of udon topped with tender beef, soft-poached egg, and green onions.
Tempura Shrimp, Pumpkin, and Egg Omelet – ~$2 each
Highlights:
Nikutama Udon Broth & Noodles:
The broth was rich and flavorful, with a slight sweetness that paired well with the sweet beef. The udon noodles had that perfect bouncy chew. Comforting and satisfying without being too heavy.
Tempura Batter:
Crispy and well-seasoned—but the pieces themselves (especially the shrimp and pumpkin) had clearly been sitting under the heat lamp too long. The texture was dry and lacked that fresh-fried punch.
Quick & Efficient Setup:
Despite the lunch rush, the cafeteria-style ordering moved quickly. You grab a tray, pick your udon, add sides, and pay at the end—great for a fast casual meal.
✨ Other Notes:
Toppings Bar: Free green onions, tempura flakes, garlic, and sauces let you customize your bowl to your liking.
Affordable for the Quality: Under $20 for a filling lunch with multiple items—good value overall.
⚠️ Areas for Improvement:
Tempura Freshness: The batter was on point, but the holding time under the lamp affected the texture and flavor. Would love to see higher turnover or made-to-order options during off-peak hours.
Though the portion of beef felt a bit sparse for the price. Still tasty and well-marinated.
Limited Seating During Lunch Rush: It was tough to find a spot during peak lunch—expect to hover a bit before you can sit down.
Tips:
Credit cards and Apple Pay accepted
Self-serve water and condiments available
Try to go before noon or after 1:30 PM to avoid the worst of the lunch crowd
Free parking in the shared mall parking lot and structures
Indoor/Outdoor seating and tables turn over pretty quickly
I’d definitely come back to Marugame Udon for a fast, reliable meal. Next time, I’ll try the curry udon and maybe skip the tempura unless it looks freshly made. If you’re in the mood for a customizable, satisfying bowl of noodles without the long wait of a sit-down spot, this is a solid choice.

We were at the Santa Anita Mall, my 7 year old and I, while her older sister watched a movie with friends. We saw Marugame Udon and decided that where we wanted to eat there. It was definitely a really good call. The food was delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend eating here. We got our food to go so we could eat at the food but the restaurant itself a great atmosphere a d it would have been great eating in there. It was definitely less crowded and had more room to eat and converse without all the background noise. My daughter had the soup with tempura shrimp and she really loved it. I had the soup with the meat, can’t remember the name but it was delicious. Last but not least we were sent home with cute instructions on how to reheat the food at home! It came in handy too since my daughter didn’t finish her food. We always have a hard time reheating food we buy at restaurants and I loved these little instructions. So a thoughtful addition to your take out experience!

Attractive noodle and tempura house at the east entrance to the Santa Anita Mall. High ceilings and good ventilation. Courteous and helpful staff. The food is fresh and interesting, liked the #2 beef, beansprouts and #13 tomato curry entrees. Lively atmosphere with plenty of seating.

We had an ehhh experience at the one in Hawaii, so I had to really convince BF to give the new Arcadia location a try. I think with this visit, I’ve successfully changed his mind!
I really wanted a beef bowl and couldn’t find a place for a decent one. So of course when I saw that Marugame had one on its menu, I had to order it to try. We also went against the grain of ordering the usual udon selections and tried one of their curry noodle options. And loaded up on all the tempura!
The gyudon (beef bowl) felt like a great value at $10.95 and that bowl is huge! Much better than our Yoshinoya here and sorta close to one in Japan. The large curry nikutama udon ($15.95) came with the same beef as the beef bowl and was also delicious. Lots of curry, so we actually dipped some of the tempura in the curry and scooped some of the curry into the gyudon.
We tried the following tempura and all were good, especially dipped in curry! Though our least favorite was the potato croquette, so we wouldn’t order that again.
* big chicken katsu $4.75
* zucchini tempura $1.95
* potato croquette $2.25
* shrimp tempura $2.25
* tamagoyaki tempura $1.95
* squid tempura $2.25
The line to order can look daunting, but it moves. Seating might also look limited but they do try to enforce the ‘no seating yourself until you’ve ordered and are carrying your food’ so by the time you pick up your food, there should be some free tables. Grab utensils and napkins on the side after you pay and bus your empty trays there afterwards too.
What a great addition to the mall! So glad there’s a closeby place for a decent beef bowl!

First time trying and sid not know what to order. I asked a guy what he was eating and he said curry nikutama.so I went with that. I didn’t know what I was getting into but that dish was perfect. It came with a boiled egg. I loved all the flavors in the bowl. The udon was cook to perfection.

Marugame Udon is a solid spot for fresh, affordable Japanese comfort food. The noodles are made in-house and have a nice chewy texture, and the broth is flavorful without being too heavy. I like that you can customize your bowl and add tempura on the side. It’s casual, quick, and great for a satisfying meal without spending too much.

An affordable and fulfilling lunch!! Highly recommend: 9.3 out of 10.
Visited on a Monday afternoon ️
Ordered the chicken katsu curry and some tempura To-Go!
The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside!! It came with green onions and tempura flakes on top. The curry was tasty and had a great consistency. Very delicious and a nice option for an udon eatery. I added to my meal from their tempura selection: zucchini, potato and egg. All delicious and crunchy!
I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10. It definitely satisfied my craving.
The inside was very clean! ✅
The staff were friendly, helpful and quick! The overall customer service was a 9.5 out of 10.
This place will now be a regular spot to stop by and eat at!
