" Coming from a Japanese background, I am very particular when it comes to the authenticity of my udon. Marugame Udon pleasantly surprised me with its close resemblance to the udon I grew up with. The texture was spot on, and the flavor was authentic. Although I did find the sweetness in the broth a little exaggerated compared to traditional styles, the overall balance brought me back to my childhood. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere made this dining experience splendid. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Marugame Udon was positive. I tried the kitsune udon, which had a sweet and packed flavor profile. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the noodles. The service was quick, and I appreciate that the employees were helpful and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Just be aware that the atmosphere can get quite busy during lunch hours, so expect some hustle. Looking forward to trying more dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a bit of a mixed experience at Marugame Udon. The highlight was definitely the udon, which had a lovely chewy texture, but the broth was a bit too sweet for my taste compared to what I'm used to. Also, I was slightly disappointed with the portion sizes since I expected a little more for the price. The service was okay, but it could use some improvement as the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed due to the crowd. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment I walked into Marugame Udon, I was thrilled by the inviting atmosphere. The menu had a wide selection, making it hard to choose! I ended up with the Nikutama udon. It was delightful - rich and satisfying. The accompanying tempura was a nice addition, though I think each piece could be a bit larger for the price. The staff was attentive and made the experience more enjoyable. I'll definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Marugame Udon and it was absolutely wonderful! The self-serve tempura station was delightful, and I couldn't get enough of the shrimp and sweet potato tempura. I ordered the Tonkotsu udon, which was rich and comforting. The ambiance was vibrant and lively, making it perfect for a casual lunch. I think I might have found my new favorite udon spot. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had such a fantastic experience at Marugame Udon! The Nikutama udon was heavenly, with the right balance of sweetness and umami. I also tried the tempura shrimp, and they were crispy and fresh. Despite the busy rush, the staff remained friendly and attentive. The self-service dips were a nice touch. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu options. Truly a gem for udon lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Marugame Udon, I was impressed with how clean and orderly everything is. The staff was welcoming, and it is a great environment for a casual meal. I ordered the chicken curry katsu rice, and it was pleasantly filling, but I felt the chicken pieces were a bit smaller than expected for the price. The udon noodles themselves were thick and satisfying, but the curry was a bit on the sweet side. Overall, a good experience, and I would recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)
