Marufuku Ramen Redwood

I was already a fan of Marufuku’s Japantown spot, so I finally checked out the Redwood City location and it did not disappoint. What surprised me was the Veg Up section on the menu with low carb options. I am not sure if that is new or unique to this location, but I tried the chicken paitan from that section and it was honestly excellent. Instead of noodles, it came with a flavorful broth over cabbage, loaded with mushrooms, green onions, sprouts, tender chicken, and a soft boiled egg that made the whole bowl feel hearty and wholesome. It did not feel like a compromise at all. We also tried the vegetarian ramen, which was rich, comforting, and packed with vegetables and tofu. Flavorful without being heavy. The space is quite spacious yet still bustling and nearly full, which shows how p

It's our first time eating here and we decided to eat outside for lunch. Hostess and servers were super attentive. Tables were bussed right away, orders were taken, and they even checked on us while we were waiting for our food. We ordered: 1. Gyoza: Crunchy and flavorful 2. Takoyaki: My niece loved this and literally scraped the plate. 3. Kakuni bowl: This was soft and tender. It was nicely marinated. I kind of wished you get more than 1 piece. My niece had rice left over. 4. Hakata Tonkatsu deluxe: This was delicious on the semi cold afternoon. So hearty and flavorful. I can't wait to come back soon. Highly recommend this place.

Had the chicken paitan at Marufuku and the broth was incredible. It was rich and creamy but still felt clean and balanced, not overly heavy. The shrimp tempura bao was just as impressive.

Good quality of food. Ramen and fry chicken were very delicious - egg, meat, noodle & soup were very good. Fried chicken were using new oil to fry as I could taste. Restroom was clean. I will come back to this place for Japanese ramen.

I love Hakata style ramen noodles and this place hits the spot. I think Ichiran’s noodles’ texture is still a little better but this place is also very good. Their noodles somehow taste a bit bouncy. Soup is good with the right flavor.
