Marufuku Ramen - Dublin - chicken paitan - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

After our group's hike at a regional park in the area, we had selected Marufuku for lunch on a recent Friday. I've been to the SF location and was looking forward to dining at this new location. I joined the waitlist on Yelp shortly before arriving. It's located at one end of the Ulferts Center and we parked right in front. Walked up at 1:35pm and the list on the iPad in front had me second on the list. It was a wait of about 5 minutes before we were seated. Our server Irvin asked if it was our first time here and he went over the menu with us. After checking out the menu, we placed our orders, which came out in about 5 minutes. I went with the Hakata DX - the Hakata style ramen with rich pork broth comes with chashu pork, a seasoned soft-boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts pickled ginger, corn, sesame seeds, nori seaweed and the item that the regular Hakata Tonkatsu doesn't have, the braised thick pork belly. It's been years since I dined at the SF location, but the taste of the flavorful broth brought back memories. The thick pieces of pork belly were so tender. The ramen had a nice chew. All the toppings made this so tasty. The bowl might look small, but I was very satisfied after finishing it. Service was friendly, water glasses refilled. Will be back if in the area. read more

Food: first time trying Marufuku! Personally I like lighter but flavorful broth, which their paitan is thicker than I expected. However, overall the flavors are good and their limited maze noodles are especially tasty! It's only available here so you must give it a try! Service: very friendly and helpful staff. Ambiance: clean and casual. Quiet most of the time so it's a good place to catch up in a small group and enjoy a quick meal of ramen! read more

I have been to the one in San Jose and this is the first time trying the Dublin location. There was a short wait when we went for lunch but wasn't bad. The interior was not huge but spacious enough. Very simple minimalist decor. 6 of us we ordered 2 appetizers, 3 mazemen, 2 ramen, and 1 tonkatsu curry rice. The portion was generous and most of us couldn't finish our plates. I liked the texture of the mazemen and both the chicken karaage and ika appetizers were quite good. I do want to mention a couple of areas they could have done better. With the Wagyu mazemen, overall it was very tasty and good, but out of just maybe 6 pieces of Wagyu beef, mine had one piece was mostly fat. I know Wagyu can be fatty and I enjoy some fat but this was basically a piece of fat with a little bit of meat. And the other thing is we had to ask for service several times including for water and to go boxes, while it wasn't that busy. The food is tasty here but it's also on the pricy side. Once in a while is okay. read more

Delicious. Taste just as good as japantown albeit quieter and staff in not such a rush. Came here in two separate days. Tried the paitan, tonkatsu, and the Wagyu dry noodles. Also had the Wagyu skewer. Paitan is my favorite with whatever that red powder was. Tonkatsu a second. Wagyu eh. Tender and juicy but honestly it's not it. Would rather you use salt and pepper instead of that house teriyaki sauce. Nonetheless. I enjoyed it and am glad I don't have to drive too far for great ramen. read more

Average food, not as good as expected but really nice interior, bathroom, and dishes and excellent kids menu. Therefore 4 stars. Friendly and attentive service at first, later on less attentive. (3 star food, 5 star interior, 4 star service) Kids menu very good $10 for a choice of small bowl of ramen vs chasu rice bowl, karaage chicken 2 piece, handful of fries (ok), honest juice box, pineapple jelly dessert. And gatcha coin! Free toy bracelets and cars. Katsu curry- crispy pork Katsu with nice creamy Japanese curry and perfect short grain rice with fukushinzuke. 5/5 Gyoza - great, not deep fried, very juicy and classic Japanese taste. Perfect sauce 5/5 Salad - disappointingly bland. Had a small bug in my salad which was fine, but the flavor was just ok. Had cut bell peppers, half tomatoes, and onions. 3/5 comes with a sweet plum dressing and tuna broth soy dressing. Tonkotsu broth- disappointing bland. Needs more flavor. 2/5 Karaage - dry and not flavorful. 1/5 read more

I recently tried Marufuku Ramen in Walnut Creek, so I didn't feel an urgent need to visit the Dublin location. But I wanted to take my parents there, and I'm so glad I did because I had no idea they offered a Dublin exclusive menu item, the Wagyu Mazesoba, $20 as of July 2026. It's a brothless mixing ramen with chopped Wagyu beef, thick noodles, soft, boiled, egg, green onions, red on, garlic chip, Kaiware (which are daikon radish sprouts), and a side of chili oil and vinegar. This ended up being something I super duper enjoyed. The noodles were thick, chewy, and incredibly bouncy. Even without adding the chili oil, the bowl was already packed with flavor. At the bottom of the bowl was this rich, savory sauce/oil that coated every strand of noodles perfectly. The Wagyu beef was marinated and cooked beautifully, and it paired so well with the noodles. I also really enjoyed the soft boiled egg. With that said, if only they offered a raw egg yolk as an option, I honestly think this could rival Kajiken. The whole dining experience was wonderful because the service was excellent too. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I also really liked the atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant. It felt bright, spacious, clean, and well organized. The air conditioning was especially great on a hot summer day. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dining experience. read more

Our server today was very attentive, I think his name is Nathan. Wavy short hair with glasses. The weekday lunch crowd started to be packed around 12:17pm. The sizzling chicken leg is as good as the many times that I went or the Oakland location. The 'new to me' Waygu Dried Noodle was very good. Might be even better if pieces of Waygu was lightly bigger and two or three more pieces. Then the combo between meat and noodles will be perfect! Chicken Karaage was good. Huge difference when a server is doing his job with heart and attentiveness or not. Huge shoutout! Ambiance is always nice. Clean bright and huge store. Will come again for the dry noodle special. read more

Food was excellent as usual! Savory soup with chewy ramen noodles. Our waiter, Kevin, was super patient and helpful, explained the entire menu to the newbies in our party. He suggested ordering soft noodles when we told him our preference for non-al dente texture. And Kevin's suggestion for the soupless ramen was amazing! We will definitely be back to try all the other items! read more

Loved that we were getting a ramen place in the Tri-Valley ! I've had Marafuku in Oakland so my expectations were quite high. I do really like that they have the waitlist option on yelp so we didn't have to wait too long on a Friday night. The restaurant aesthetic was modern contemporary and had lots of tables and a bar seating area. The servers were fast and attentive. I ended up getting the gyoza and the Hakata Tonkotsu DX. This is where it fell short for me. The crust on the gyoza wasn't crispy, it tasted burnt and had a chewy sticky texture to it despite the looks of it. The noodles and the egg were overcooked. I asked for ultra spicy but it tasted very mild even with the chili oil. The broth itself is very creamy which I liked but it just felt lacking. read more

The service was very attentive and the ambiance is nice. This is my first time at marufuku and it's honestly alright. The noodles aren't really ramen noodles and the soba doesn't have actual soba noodles. I'm sure this location is just like the rest, so nothing against the Dublin location, but I think this is really just okay for a ramen place. The ramen selection is pretty minimal too. No beef ramen or even a classic black garlic is kind of a shame to see. Again, nothing against this location, but a little disappointed to see the price of ramen compared to the ramen/ soba we got. read more

I am so happy that Marilou Ramen opened a new restaurant in Dublin . I used to go to their San Diego restaurant and San Francisco Japan town restaurant whenever I visited those cities . I love their rich broth and the curved ridge of the ceramic bowl , that is their signature look of ramen bowls . I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen: Char Siu pork belly was simmered , green onion , seaweed , seasoned soft boil egg , kikuyu mushroom and bean sprouts. You can add extra toppings for a fee . There are some interesting drinks on the menu like rainbow peach or lychee soda , melon cream soda and Sakura lemonade. There are other options in the menu besides ramen ( curry rice , small bites , mazesoba with Wagyu beef , etc ) Spice powder can be requested to come on the side ( very spicy ) . Now they have gluten- free noodles . A must try Ramen restaurant for the good food and good service ! Parking is just at the front door. It does get filled up by lunch time. There are only more parking in the back of the plaza . read more

Glad to see a good ramen spot open up in the area! The lines looked long for dinner on a Friday around 5:30pm, so definitely get on that waitlist online as soon as it's available. The restaurant opened for dinner at 5pm, got on the waitlist at 5:15pm, and were seated by 6pm. Their Chicken Karaage appetizer was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and crispy. The tangy dipping sauce was perfect. The Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen was delicious and the broth was well-balanced and perfectly rich, without being too much. The texture of the noodles is not my preference. I prefer more of a bouncy, chewy texture. But the tender meat, toppings, and broth were my favorite. Friendly service! Expect it to be busy, loud, & a little chaotic inside. Would love to come back to try their specialty items and other dishes. read more

I recommend adding yourself to the yelp waitlist before you drive over to the establishment. Once I arrived and was seated, I asked a lot of questions about the menu and asked the waiter to give an overview about the menu. They gave a great overview on what the specialties are and the style of ramen. They also detailed the drink options. It felt very lively and bustling. I sat at the bar style seating (there must be a better name for that). I got the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. The chashu was very tasty; it tasted light but hearty. Overall the ramen was very balanced and hearty and a perfect single person meal in terms of proportion. I believe this is the best ramen spot in the trivalley possibly. read more

Great to see that they opened in Dublin. Don't forget to join Yelp waitlist before heading over, it can save you a significant amount of waiting time. Despite how busy the restaurant gets, they run a very efficient operation. Service was friendly, attentive, and impressively fast from start to finish. Our food arrived quickly, and the staff did a great job keeping everything moving without making the experience feel rushed. The standout for me was the wagyu mazesoba. The brothless noodle dish was packed with flavor, rich and savory without being overly heavy. The noodles had the perfect texture and held up well against the sauce. We also ordered the squid appetizer, which was cooked nicely and great for sharing. Definitely worth checking out, can't wait for my next visit. read more

I went here on a Saturday evening and the wait time was about 45-50 minutes. So heads-up whenever you want to go to Marufuku ramen, make sure you have a reservation. The wait staff was kind,understanding and patient enough to know people have been waiting outside for long. The service is quick once you are seated. I had the edamame and vegetable ramen. The edamame came with a sprinkle of salt and that added to the taste The vegetable ramen had loads of toppings and additionally I got mushrooms and tofu. The broth was spicy and the green noodles had bright color. Visually it's a treat. The tofu is big and chunky. Overall liked the food and the staff - will be back read more

Excellent ramen. We ordered vegan ramen. We went with spinach noodles as the base and several healthy topings including bean sprouts, tofu etc., The food came with few creative sauces as well. The tofu was so well made with ginger flavor. The greens were also pretty fresh. With such fine ingredients for the base taken care already, we would like to see more elaborate vegan menu. That would make us repeat our visits to this place Good stuff! read more

We've been to the Oakland restaurant many times the past couple years, and it's nice to not have to drive to Oakland. This Dublin location has better parking, safer neighborhood, the restaurant itself is more spacious and inviting. Excellent job with the decision on opening here! It's not my favorite Ramen restaurant, but definitely my top choice, especially considering the limited options in the Bay Area. It was our first time trying to curry Wagyu. The flavors were good, but the meat to rice and sauce ratio was really off. I feel like they could definitely charge more and give more meat, considering how much sauce was given. I also appreciate the yelp waitlist very much. I added my name on the waitlist before I left the house and when we got there, we only had to wait about 10 minutes or less. And when we left the restaurant, it looked like there were a lot of people outside waiting. So don't forget to take advantage of the waitlist! read more

Wow, the ramen here is 10/10. It is packed with flavor they give you a lot for the price and the waiters are very knowledgeable about each different kind of ramen on the menu. The edamame and wagyu were also delicious. I will say that, unless you make reservations, it is a wait. Also, they do have the option of faster wait time or regular wait time but if you do faster wait time, they sit you at the bar just a heads up. That's something that we didn't know when we went to eat here. The place is nice inside, and a modern feel to it! There are multiple tables and it is nicely decorated. read more

So glad to see that more hot restaurants are opening in our area. Marafuku Dublin has a modern interior, fast service, and a solid menu. We shared the tonkotsu ramen and wagyu mazesoba. The ramen was fine but I did wish the noodles were more firm- they quickly got overly soft for my liking. The mazesoba was TOO good. I hope it's a constant staple on the menu. Overall- awesome spot in this area to satisfy the craving. read more

went on a sat night and was able to join waitlist on yelp so got seated a few minutes after we arrived which was rly nice. the server came over right away and the food came out shortly after we ordered. there was two of us so we got a large salad to share and the portion size was pretty generous. they also gave us both of the sauce options on the side which was nice but i think they gave way too much as the sauce was quite salty and it felt a bit wasteful. the salad itself was a simple spring mix garnished with cherry tomatoes, onions, and some yellow bell pepper if i rmb correctly. for the ramen we both got the spicy tantan which came with green onion, an egg, the ground chicken, spring mix, and bean sprouts. overall i'd say it was a decent bowl of ramen but nothing special imo. it was quite salty and heavy which i suppose is pretty authentic. unfortunately it's just not my preferred style of ramen. read more

Marufuku Ramen - Dublin - Hakata Tonkotsu with spinach noodles - Ramen Near Me - Dublin, California

Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen is the specialty here. As of 3/2026, this is one of the new locations of a shop that originally opened in SF's Japantown. So as you can imagine there was a lot of excitement and therefore lines/wait times. I was in the area visiting family and wanted to come here on a weekday. It was still pretty busy and it took a while to get in. Once I got in though it was surprisingly serene inside. I got a seat at the bar counter. And it being my first time here, I definitely ordered the Hakata Tonkatsu Ramen. I also ordered a melon soda float which was as fun to drink as it was tasty. The Ramen itself had a thick flavorful broth with really well cooked noodles. The egg was perfectly cooked and all the other toppings were great. A great bowl of ramen. Definitely a great place just be prepared to wait unless the hype died down a little. This location shares the parking lot with various other popular eateries so parking might come as a premium around here read more

Yelp WL for the win! I checked Yelp wait time and it quoted me 52-67 minutes. I joined the WL and was 19th in line but 21 minutes later, I was #3. Stopped by for dinner at 6 pm with my family. Service was fast and great! Restaurant was clean and plenty of staff to move patrons in and out quickly without forgoing hospitality. I love that they bring orders out very fast and piping hot! Items ordered: Lemonade- as expected Iced matcha tea- loved the strong nutty flavor and the fact that it was unsweetened. (free refills also ) Takoyaki- I am usually not a fan but these had the flavor and texture down! Well done! Gyoza- I thought they were fine. Hubby felt it was not salty enough but we usually differ in how salty we prefer our food. Chicken Karaage- always a solid choice! Kids love these! Kids tonkatsu ramen- love the presentation and items that come with this meal for my light eater (drink, water, edamame with corn, jelly, 2 small pieces of chicken karaage). Hakata Tonkatsu DX x2- 1 non spicy and spicy. Love the broth and mix of meats and veggies! Paitan ramen- chicken was so flavorful and not dry!

This is my third time at marufuku. Previously I dined at the Oakland and Japantown location and both experiences were good. We had the tonkatsu ramen and tantan noodles. Parts of it the noodles of my dandan ramen were lumped together which made the texture slightly off. The onsen egg was a bit too cooked to my liking and the minced meat were a bit too mushy. Also the server spilled the broth to the plate and it was not a small amount. So overall, my expectation was high but my experience could have been better. They were busy during lunch time and would kindly kick you out with your check. read more

Walked in to a nearly empty restaurant at 4PM on a Sunday. We were in and out in around 45 minutes. I've had the ramen at another location, so decided to try the Wagyu Maze Soba. Food came out relatively quickly. I was extremely disappointed with the protein portion, especially with half of my meat being pure fat. The noodles themselves were cooked well and tasted flavorful. As a whole, the dish definitely needed way more protein, especially for the price. Friendly + attentive staff. I unfortunately will not be back. read more

The noodles, the pork, and the egg were good as well. I would come again to try the mazesoba (which our server said was specific to their location) and other dishes.

Came here on a Tuesday at 7pm for dinner party of 2. Put my name on the waitlist about 15 min before and had to wait maybe 5-10 minutes. It was nicely decorated and clean inside. Service was excellent! Our server was Kevin and he was a funny cool dude! Service was super fast!! I ordered a rainbow packed peach soda. It came in a bag with a glowing light! So fun! Reminded me of Asia. We ordered the chicken paitan deluxe and hakata tonkatsu deluxe. The chicken pairan came with a sizzling chicken plate. It was maybe a sweet soy sauce. Crispy and tender inside. The hakata tonkatsu had plenty of charsu pork and pork belly. It was so soft. Both broths were rich and creamy with plenty of veggies. My egg was slightly overcooked but maybe I left it in the soup too long. We ordered spicy but it wasn't that spicy. We were able to add extra spice in h the r soup on the side. Highly recommend!

Came here for my biweekly Friday lunch date with the wife and was greeted by a line. It moves fast though - we were in 12th place and it took at most 20-30 minutes. Is it worth the hype? Not really, since we found their thin Hakata-style noodles to be a bit too soft and soggy. We actually prefer a slightly chewier ramen, and found the ones at Fujiwara (located in the same Ulferts Mall) and Ramen Hiroshi (City Center) to be more our liking. We also found the broth to be on the saltier side. The best dish we ordered was the chicken karaage, which came with a extra thick, crispy batter while maintaining the soft, juicy meat inside. The Chicken Paitan DX was a minor letdown. They only make 15 of these per day and its basically ramen with grilled chicken breast and a bbq, bone-in chicken hindquarter. It was like Chinese Char Siu BBQ pork (red, sweet soy sauce), only its prepared for a chicken on a sizzling iron platter. A bit too sweet for our liking, but kudos for novelty. You're basically pairing a mild tasting, borderline bland ramen with an intensely flavored BBQ chicken. Other than that, Marafuku Ramen does have some unique features - such as alcoholic beverages, create non-alcoholic Japanese soft drinks and juice mocktails, and A5 Wagyu skewers. They also feature curry and a bunch of rice bowls, although do note is plain rice and not sushi rice. read more

We loved loved loved our lunch. Kudos to our most kind and helpful server, Steven. He recommended the mazesoba (soupless noodles). The menu indicates Limited Offer for this dish. I sure hope it doesn't go away because it was pretty spectacular. Since it was nearly 100 degrees outside, I was not in the mood for eating a bowl of hot ramen so this was just the ticket for the three of us. Steven did warn us that the wagyu meat in this dish is fatty so if you're like me and don't like fatty meat, please be aware that it is supposed to be this cut of meat for this dish. I did not eat all of the fatty meat in my bowl but when it's mixed well with the noodles and garlic chips, it does wonders to this dish. There was a soft boiled egg on top of my perfectly cooked noodles. The noodles are the star of the show, a touch thick and the sauce clings perfectly onto each strand. Halfway through, Steven stopped by to ask if we had tried it with the vinegar and chili oil. He said it will be extra tasty so I gave it a try and he was right! Can a bowl of noodles get more delicious? I must say, it sure did. I wanted to return the next day with my husband! This parking lot used to be horrendously busy but there is parking in the lot now. Located on the corner directly under Foot Reflexology. read more
