Great place for delicious Udon served hot or cold in a fast manner. Lunch hours are not too busy but dinner and weekends tend to pick up more.nPerfect level of freshness and soft udon, love the sauce bar and friendly staff
Such a great place for a quick bite. We came here before seeing a show at the QE. I was surprised by the value. It’s good value even if you’re not downtown. If you see a line it’s because it’s a cafeteria style restaurant and you collect your food before you sit. Upon arrival you can see why this major chain has been so successful. Benefitting from a small menu, each staff member has a specific job In the assembly line that allows them to pump out a high volume of delicious udon soup. My udon was cooked perfectly, while the broth and beef were full of flavour. They also have an add-on area where you pick up various Katsu, tempura and gyoza. My kid said it best the next day. “You know that udon we had? It was so good!”
Cozy night in Vancouver with a bowl of steaming hot udon from Marugame. A taste from Honolulu Marugame right here in this city!nnWe usually eat here before heading to Vancouver Canucks game. The lines now better a bit now which is great! The service is quick! Once you get to the front line and order for udon, pick up a tray and tell the staff your order. Before paying, you will see more snacks eg. tempura shrimp, tempura zucchini, gyoza etc... before paying your order. The hard part, trying not to spill the udon soup while finding a table. : The restaurant is very spacious, clean and bright. There is station where you can get water, utensils etc...nnHeading back to Hawaii next month and will be back to Marugame Udon!nnNever disappoints! 5 stars.
This was a huge disappointment as it was so highly raved about at the Hawaii and LA locations.nnBut the food was very instant meal tasting. The soup wasn’t even hot… the noodles were over cooked and on the soggy side. The tempura options was very slim and because it’s just sitting under a heat lamp it was mostly cold and wasn’t even crispy anymore.nnThe dining area is self service which is fine by every table is not cleaned up and after my friends and I ate. I noticed while we’re there there was not a single employee on site to clean up after patrons left…nnThe self serve utensils area was super unsanitarynnOverall the concept is great, but execution was not there… I feel this may be a location / worker issuennLikely won’t come again… this is definitely one of those “IG vs Reality” moments
Super yummy.nnWe've had the one in Hawaii. It's so yummy. They make their noodles fresh. I always get the curry beef. But my friend ordered the chicken katsu and it was juicy and delicious. The tempera was fresh. The squid one was great. The fried chicken bowl was a little dry.nnYou pay up front and have to clean up after yourself. We went there at opening so no wait.
