I had the Tan Tan, the only vegan option, and it was delicious. We accidentally received gyoza instead of the beans, but the service was excellent and they quickly replaced it for us. A wonderful lunch!

Delicious and freshly made udon! Love the setup where you see how noodles are made and get your order as you through the line. The tempura are also better than most standard japanese restaurants I have tried across the states. Will definitely repeat.

cafeteria style Udon where you get served on a plate and can add your own optional tempura Ala carte. relatively cheap by 2023 standards. it's a winning formula and as long as they keep the kitchen well oiled this is probably one of the best quick lunch places in the area.

Great addition to South Bay. It is interesting when there was only one Marugame udon at SF, I never visited it. I visited that on just last year. This place is smaller than the one at SF. We arrived when they just opened, and lines are building. It took a while to get to our turn. We ordered tan tan udon, curry udon and tempura. We also ordered the fruit drink. it seems like the tempura options also lesser than the on at SF. The tan tan tan is vegetarian and the meat look like from tofu. They are yummy. You have to wait until you ordered and paid before you can find a seat. the Worker is monitoring that. One thing need to be improved is the restroom. It ran out of paper, and no one is available right away to reflll it.

It’s fast food udon. Is it amazing? It’s okay. Is it terrible? It’s not. It does the job, hits the right spots but it’s not anything to line up for out the door like at Valley Fair. It’s definitely something fast and convenient. A good spot for when you can’t figure out what to eat or your partner says “I’m good for anything”

I literally love love love it here, the noodles are so good and tender, the curry is AMAZING, Services is fast for dine in a bit slower for take out, but still great and friendly service overall

I love udon and so I'm biased, but I'm a fan of Marugame! The service is great and the udon is good. Udon here vs Honolulu is a huge price difference. I ordered too much, but I finished it all! 🤣 I recommend this place and will be returning!

Perfect place to get a quick meal if your children are hangry and the line is way too long at the sit down restaurant you were originally planning to go to. Line moves lightning fast, and you get to eat immediately after paying. Reasonably priced for Japanese food. Food is on the sweet side but I'm impressed at the quality of the food given how many orders they're cranking out. Tonkatsu was my favorite and the tempura zucchini and shrimp are great. We'll get the katsu chicken bowls again and ask them to halve the sauce. The beef udon isn't as yummy as the entire bowl of soup becomes very sweet and oily, like gyudon sauce. But overall, the dining space is really clean, bright, and not too noisy despite the number of people inside.

Fast food style udon. Not expensive and taste great. Large has a lot of noodles but not a lot of protein. The soup of the tan tan is not warm e ouch.

Note to self: don’t go 30 minutes before closing, not many tempura items available If you have had Marugame in Oahu the Bay Area locations do not compare. Probably the reason why I’m a little disappointed with the Bay Area locations. A huge difference I have seen is the size of the tempura especially the shrimp and squid. So much bigger in Hawaii. The shrimp at this location was so small. Smaller than the frozen Costco size. Also both the shrimp and squid were on the soggy side and didn’t offer much crunch so I would like to try when they are freshly made. Remember price adds up when you add the tempura. The Nikutama sauce was great! Worker gave us a little more since they were closing. I appreciate that service from the worker. But there is something different about the combination of free soup and eating hot crunchy tempura in Hawaii. Location has lots of seats which is a plus and I like the counter that offers … water, to go cups, tempura sauce and etc. I’ll still go back but for some freshly made tempura!

Pretty good udon place with a good variety of options for broth or sauce. Got the tonkatsu broth udon which was pretty flavorful. Would’ve liked my udon a bit chewier though. Also got the tan tan which has soy meat but you can add side of beef or chashu - per my friend, not very spicy but she has high tolerance. Atmosphere and service is great - very efficient.

Food was great! Went on a Friday around 1pm and it was fairly busy. We waited in line for about 15 minutes before we ordered. Ordering is a cafeteria style. You place your order and then one person warms up your plate and the noodles, another adds the broth and toppings and then puts your order on a tray that you slide past a self serve section of fried options all the way to the cashier. You take your tray to an open table and then clean your own table. Wouldn't say anyone was particularly friendly and enthusiastic but also not rude. I got the miso udon which was great and I'd come back for it.

The worst noodles I have ever had. The vegan tan tan noodles was cold. I was expecting to have something hot on a cold day. The service was even worst. They made me feel insulted. This was my first time here and they didn’t even guide me properly. The server was very cold, had a poker face all the time and was acting like I’m an alien. I was saying I’m here for dine in repeatedly but he still couldn’t get it. The food was terrible. It was supposed to be vegan but it had this raw fish smell. I couldn’t even eat a single bite. Being vegan, I was expecting something more when I saw minced soya but the soya was cold and had a strange smell. Worst experience. I don’t know why did I spend my money here. They definitely need to have better customer service and food. Also the black tray smelled disgusting. I don’t know what that smell is but it ruined my entire mood.

Terrible experience – please check your order before leaving! I usually trust restaurants to maintain food quality, especially places like Marugame Udon where I expected a proper standard. But this time, I was extremely disappointed. I ordered two Teriyaki chicken rice bowls for takeout, and both portions were unacceptable. The chicken looked and tasted like it had been deep-fried in burnt oil – possibly even refried. It was overly dark, dry, and had a bitter aftertaste, as if the oil hadn't been changed or the chicken had been cooked multiple times. This isn’t just about taste — it’s about food safety and basic quality control. It’s truly upsetting to receive food like this, especially when you rely on the restaurant to serve something edible and safe. ⚠️ If you order Teriyaki chicken rice to-go from Marugame Udon, I strongly recommend opening the box and checking the chicken before you leave. Don’t assume everything is fine just because the packaging looks good. I really wanted to support this place, but after this experience, I’m not sure I’ll return. Disappointed and concerned.
