Marugame Udon

Fresh handmade udon! Free, plentiful street parking, and the bright signage makes this corner spot super easy to find. Inside is very casual cafeteria-style. The fun part is the open kitchen where you can watch the chefs knead, cut, and boil the udon noodles right in front of you. Just flour, water, and salt, made fresh on-site and served fresh every time. The ordering process is pretty straightforward: order your udon directly from the chefs, then move down the line for tempura and sides like chicken katsu, shrimp, and gyoza. There's a separate line for dine-in and to-go, plus a station for utensils, hot sauce, tempura sauce, ginger, etc. They even have a "How to Eat Udon" guide on the wall. Seating is mostly 2-tops, with a small outdoor patio in front. Since it's in a busy business area, it seems like a lot of people come here for a quick solo lunch. Restroom was clean and decent. I also like that they offer a free tempura or house beverage for completing their feedback form via QR code. It's nice that they're asking for actual feedback instead of just fishing for Google/Yelp reviews. I submitted mine and got a pineapple sunrise drink. Even better, management actually repl

Visited this University Avenue location and absolutely loved it! The Nikutama Udon is my absolute favorite—the beef is incredibly flavorful and tender, and the soft-boiled egg makes the broth so rich and creamy. Great portions and quick service. Will definitely be coming back!

I had a great experience at Morugame today. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly and efficient. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a nice atmosphere for a casual meal. We tried the Udon Curry, Chicken Katsu Curry, Rice Ball, and Shrimp Tempura Bento. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served hot. The chicken katsu was crispy on the outside and tender inside, the curry was rich and comforting, the udon had a great chewy texture, the rice ball was simple but delicious, and the shrimp tempura was light and crispy without feeling greasy. The portions were satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.

Nice atmosphere, delicious udon, broth. Tempura is less oily which is very good. Self order and service, No tipping required. Friendly staff. Tasty food. The beef bowls are kind of smaller portions.

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.
