Place has good ambience, much like how you would find a Japanese restaurant. They make the Udon in house and you can watch the person make it right on the dining floor as you eat. I got the Beef Udon which was good, but the fish/sardine base soup was a little overpowering for me. Once the Beef flavor seeps into the soup, the fish taste became more bearable. The Seaweed Udon has a milder taste on its soup, so I will probably get that one next time. The takoyaki was on point! I will definitely get it again. As for the deep fried chicken skins, it was a little too salty for my taste. Went great with the Beef Udon, though. It cut out a lot of the fish taste. Great experience overall, the service was great and the server was really helpful. Would come back again.
best and fresh udon ever outside of Japan. i love this place. if only there's a location in my city! chewy al dente noodles. perfect consistency. i wish i could try all the different variations. i had the shiso mental cold udon. sooooo good. i also had the beef bukkuke. if you love noodles or udon, come here. so worth it. good lunch special too. not sure about the specialty udon--i like it more traditional and simple. also try their sides!
Marugame or marukame is apparently a location in Japan that is known for good udon and now every good udon place slaps it on their restaurant name.
Location - It's in the Chinatown plaza. It's on the side with all the restaurants. Don't go around in a circle like me. There was no problem parking and no line at 1:30pm.
Value - The pricing was surprisingly good. Every hyped restaurant in the bay area where I come from have jacked up prices. We are talking $6-12 udon depending on which one you choose.
Food - I really loved the Negitoro Wrap appetizer! That's what makes me interested in coming back to try others. I was confused when it arrived first but once you build and insert it, it makes sense. Fresh and crisp. Yes, the udon was chewier than most restaurants that use the prepackaged noodles, but don't expect too much.
Service - This was VERY GOOD! The waitress was very friendly and the workers all said thank you when I left.
