Customer Reviews
It's a Chipotle of Udon with some flexibility and options. Quick build to order service. Fast food like self service. Casual place with medicare udons with bold salty flavor. Udons are freshly hot served. No table service. Good for kids, small gathering and meetups. Wide entry and paths inside make it accessible. Paid and free street parking available.
During Family Weekend, we wanted to treat our son and his friends to a special dinner, and choosing Marugame Restaurant was truly one of the highlights of our visit. When I called to arrange a reservation for a large group, Jordan answered and immediately put me at ease. He was patient, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful in coordinating everything over the phone. Planning for 14 people can be complicated, but he handled it effortlessly and with genuine kindness. Upon arrival, we were touched to see that he had prepared a beautifully arranged table for our group in a quiet corner, allowing us to celebrate comfortably and enjoy meaningful conversation. Throughout the evening, Jordan went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to. His attentiveness was seamless — present witho
The food was decent, but they have started offering extra veggies and sauce without saying that it costs extra. They also advertised a promotion for 2$ tempura, so I tried to get a crab stick tempura, but then the cashier told me it only applies to shrimp tempura. I would consider that false advertising (see attached picture). So in general you can expect decent udon but I would be careful not to get tricked into spending a few extra dollars.
This looks absolutely delicious! The Tomatama Curry udon is such a comforting and flavorful choice — rich tomato curry, a silky egg, and that crispy katsu on top make it the perfect mix of hearty and satisfying. Marugame Udon never disappoints with the quality and presentation, and this dish looks like a must-try for anyone who loves bold, savory flavors with a Japanese twist. Great pick! 🍜✨
I'm so happy there's finally a Marugame Udon location in the mid-Peninsula. I ordered the creamy broth udon, and it was delicious, rich, flavorful, and comforting. Their tempura and fried sides were crispy, fresh, and not greasy. It's great that you can pick and choose what you want to go with your noodles. The service was quick, and the setup is efficient and casual. Perfect for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. I'll definitely be back!
