Reviews
The vegetarian Ramen was good. My friend had the Hot stone pot Spicy pork. He said that good and flavorful. Hope they could have a vegan/vegetarian menu with 5-8 items. they can attract a large plant based crowd.
Next time I go, will try to ask if they can do the hot stone pot or other dishes with Tofu.
The service was great. good atmosphere.
The staff here are very attentive, fast, and super friendly . I ordered the beef rib ramen and pork ramen — both were delicious. The meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and served hot, just the way ramen should be .
I also tried a tuna sushi plate and the Japanese pancake with shrimp and squid. The sushi was fresh, and the pancake was crispy on the outside but soft inside — very tasty and enjoyable!
Overall, great service, delicious food, and a pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended! ✨
The decor, layout and vibe of the restaurant was pretty laid back. It wasn’t too loud so you can easily hear each other when you’re talking. Quiet/comfy environment> loud obnoxious ones.
There are booth and open table seating arrangements – so choose (when not busy) to your heart’s desires.
The servers were prompt, kind, and asked to refill our pitchers quite often, which I’ve noticed isn’t as common in certain restaurants. If you need clarification regarding the menu, they seem likely to help and clarify.
Maybe after dinner you want to buy Pokemon cards and accessories, I believe towards the front (as of 12/29/2025) they had pokemon packs.
The booths are spacious and bright next to big windows. The parking is plentiful.
The online menu and in restaurant options are different. They need to update the website. The lunch menu prices looked great.
Tonkatsu = fried pork cutlet. Torikatsu = fried chicken cutlet. Tonkotsu = creamy pork bone ramen.
Overall, I would eat here again and I would also recommend it for a quick affordable bite.
Braised chicken ramen: broth was decent but pretty flavorless. The WORST part about the ramen was it genuinely had the most DISGUSTING chicken I have ever had in my life. One bite was enough to ruin my whole meal.
Shoyu ramen: the chashu was the worst chashu I have ever had from any ramen place. It didn’t even look like chashu. Broth was insanely mediocre with bland flavor.
Chicken karaage: all batter barely any chicken. The seasoning in the batter was not good and it wasn’t fried properly. The only thing that made it bareable was the spicy mayo sauce.
Shrimp tempura roll: mediocre roll. 5% shrimp and the biggest roll of sushi. More than half the roll was avocado.
I would not recommend this restaurant at all. There are much better ramen places around the area. The feeling after eating everything made us very nauseous and sick to our stomach.
Overall, we were highly disappointed and disgusted.
The tonkatsu was crispy and satisfying, though it played a little shy on flavor until I gave it a generous drizzle of katsu sauce. After that? Let’s just say we became very good friends.
But the real headliner? The miso ramen. Our crew ordered it every which way — pork, chicken, vegetarian — and not a noodle was left behind. Bowls were practically licked clean (classily, of course).
The eel sushi had nice flavor, though it was a bit light on, well… the eel. Tasty, but left me wishing for one more smoky-sweet bite to finish it off.
Bottom line: Marumen is cozy, hearty, and dangerously good at convincing you that “just one bowl” of ramen is a reasonable life choice.
