Opinions de Marugame Udon San Francisco
The Creamy Tantan lives up to its name. The broth is rich and velvety without being overly heavy, with a deep sesame warmth and just enough chili oil to give it a gentle heat that builds rather than overwhelms. Perfect for a rainy day that found me looking for a warm lunch. The noodles have a perfect chew, the soft-boiled egg adds silkiness, and the ground pork brings savory depth to every bite. Paired with crisp, freshly fried tempura on the side, it’s the kind of bowl that feels indulgent but balanced - especially satisfying on a cold, rainy San Francisco day.
The food was great and the server was so energetic and kind! I would definitely come back to this location.
Been going to this Marugame Udon for a while now. The regular sized nikutama bowl is my go to, its just the right amount for a meal without feeling like too much, and the add-ons are great. It can get crowded around peak hours and the atmosphere is more cafeteria-ish as you need to bus your own dishes, but it's good. Sometimes I get the nikutama curry but I think simpler is better. My recommendation though is to NOT sit outside if you can, since the birds can be very aggressive and they also perch on the lights above. Risk it if you want, but stay inside if you want to avoid the little creatures approaching your table or getting pooped on.
12/2/2025: 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.
I used to avoid this place because the line outside looked insane. I’m not a fan of waiting, so I stayed away for years. But once I finally gave in, I realized the line moves way faster than it looks. The whole setup is like an assembly line, super efficient, and honestly kind of fun to watch. Since then, I’ve been back at least a dozen times. The food is always consistent — fresh noodles, flavorful broth, perfectly portioned bowls, and meat that’s cooked just right. My only gripe is sometimes the broth isn’t as hot as I’d like, but that’s minor compared to everything else they nail. For me, noodle soup is comfort food. Slurping noodles and sipping broth here feels like a warm hug, especially on stressful days. Prices are also really reasonable for San Francisco, and the sides are solid too. Bottom line: Marugame Udon has become my go‑to spot when I need a reliable, satisfying meal. Worth the wait every time.
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.
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.
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.
My go to Japanese comfort food Udon place. Best Udon in the Bay Area. I always order the regular size Curry Nikutama. Always made fresh and don’t have to wait long for the food and seating. Price is just right. I also been to the Berkeley location about 10 times. Taste is very consistent.

In terms of affordability, this is the best bang for your buck udon you'll get in town! The food is good, I also love how they cook the egg to perfection. The quality overall dropped a little in the past few years, I miss the days when they would all scream "irasshaimase" whenever you came in. But still a great comfort food spot, especially if you are at the mall running some errand. Expect self-serve kind of service, you go through the counter choosing your food in a kind of "assembly line buffet style" and pay at the end before sitting. Don't skip the counter with some extra toppings and cutlery!
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
Marugame Udon at Stonestown Galleria is a great spot for fresh, handmade udon! You can actually watch the noodles being made right from the counter, which makes the experience fun and authentic. The menu isn’t overwhelming, so choosing is easy. Just note—you line up first before finding a seat (instructions are posted at the entrance). Once you order, the udon is prepared in front of you, and you’ll be asked if you want toppings like tempura flakes (tenkasu) or bonito flakes. After that, you can pick from a variety of appetizers (priced individually), grab a drink, and then head to the register to pay. It’s self-service inside, with a station for utensils, napkins, condiments (including hot soy sauce), and even takeout supplies like paper bags and containers. The food itself is delicious—the texture of the udon really stands out. Simple, tasty, and satisfying. I’ll definitely be coming back!
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.
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.
Good food, atmosphere, and was quick! The service was quick and offered a free drink.
This branch is one of my favorite places, so I’d like to leave this comment with good intentions. 🙏 Recently, over the past year when I’ve visited, the udon noodles have been quite too firm, as if they weren’t boiled long enough. It makes the noodles not blend well with the soup and really affects the overall flavor. I kindly suggest reminding the staff to boil the noodles about 45 seconds to 1 minute longer so they can be softer and match the soup better. Thank you!
Good for a quick bite; the noodles were quite good, and the tempura sides were greasy for us. There is plenty of seating and a large enough menu for everyone to pick from.

couldn’t tell if this place genuinely had mold or not and i was out with friends so naturally i got distracted and continued on with my meal, however i’ve since been suffering bad allergies since eating here upon looking back on the photo i took while at the restaurant, there were visible mold spores in the area where they make the udon. i will admit the food tasted fine but i wouldn’t recommend eating here unless you want to get sick. also the fact that they get busy and there is limited indoor seating.
