Today I tried Marufuku Ramen for the first time, and honestly, it was great. I've had quite a few ramen spots, but this is probably the closest I've had to an authentic Japanese ramen experience. Kevin was the man! He helped us with our order, explained the menu really well, and was super attentive throughout our visit. Great food, great service, and a really nice sake selection. Definitely a great overall experience, and this might just become my new regular spot! read more

The other day My mom and I went to try Marufuku Ramen in Dublin for the first time. The food was so delicious and I really enjoyed it. We ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu and the Shoyu Ramen. The Hakata Tonkotsu ramen was delicious and I enjoyed the thin noodles, it was very yummy, the finely chopped green onions and sesame seeds were also good and paired well with the dish. They also did a good job at making the Seasoned soft boiled egg as well. The Shoyu ramen is a new menu item that they are trying out. I think I found it on the back or front end of menu. Overall it was very delicious and I found it worth it for $17, for the quality bowl of noodle soup ramen. It had a clear broth that was umami-rich and very flavorful. The dashi soup broth had bonito fish flakes in there as well. I think they did a really good job with making the soup broth dashi. The other ingredients like the bean sprouts, green onions, and bamboo also paired well to make the dish delicious. I hope that they can keep this on the menu after introducing it. Having this item on the menu is a good alternative to those who don't want to have a thick rich creamy broth ramen. I know for me sometimes my stomach cannot handle a thick, rich and creamy broth, so having the Shoyu ramen is a good alternative. With the addition of this menu item They will be able to reach more different customers and be flexible (what I mean by flexible is giving customers the option to choose between a thick broth and also have the option to order a delicious clear broth). Hope the Shoyu Ramen can stay on the menu permanently! It was so delicious and I enjoyed it as well. Our server was Mariya, she was friendly and did a good job. For example she refilled the tea without having to ask for more tea and was the one who told me about this new menu item they are trying out. Overall, I had a positive first experience at Marufuku Ramen and I look forward to the day I can go back and eat there again! read more

I've gone to other locations of Marufuku Ramen in the past, but I've NEVER had the Wagyu Mazesoba until today... and it was ON Point. This has most definitely become my favorite location in the Bay Area of all time, and our server Kevin was very friendly and made the experience worthwhile. Will definitely be coming back, thank you! read more

My family's favorite restaurant! My kids love coming here all the time because of their tasty food, fast service, and kind staff. We've never had a bad experience, but this recent visit was the best! Kevin helped us today and he was generous and thoughtful. He gave us his recommendations, checked on us, and was attentive without being any level of overbearing. Always happy to come here. It's always super cold inside, too. Much appreciated during this heat wave. Great for everyone in the family. Wonderful kids meals. Their soupless special at this location is remarkable! Please make sure at least one person gets it. Then the next time, everyone will get it. Thanks again, Kevin! read more

I stopped by while charging my car and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the chicken karaage and the Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen. The ramen came with a rich and flavorful pork broth, along with toppings including chashu pork, soft-boiled egg, green onions, mushrooms, sprouts, braised pork belly, corn, and nori. The chicken karaage was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Everything was well-prepared and packed with flavor. read more

This place has very nice decor and seating. Everyone in your party must be present to be seated. I ordered the limited Chicken Paitan with the sizzling chicken thigh. I couldn't eat and brought it home. The chicken ramen broth was very tasty. My preference of noodles are usually the chewy thick wavy ones and that is not the noodle type here. It's almost like angel hair ramen. So unfortunately it won't be my favorite place to eat ramen. I will come back to try their appetizers as I didn't really have a big appetite at my recent visit. read more

Marufuku Ramen definitely lived up to the hype! We went on Labor Day and the wait was about an hour, so definitely get on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time. The A5 Wagyu skewer was flavorful, but honestly not quite worth it for me. The pieces were pretty fatty, and one piece was literally almost all fat. The Tonkotsu ramen was divine -- super flavorful broth with perfectly bouncy noodles. The chicken karaage was yummy with a generous portion, and the Tan Tan ramen was rich, spicy, and very good. But the WINNER was the A5 Wagyu soba! It was definitely on the oily side, and the Wagyu pieces were pretty fatty, but the flavor was incredible and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I would seriously come back just for this dish. Overall, a delicious meal and worth the wait. read more

I stopped by for a quick lunch when I had a craving for ramen while waiting for my son at gymnastics. I signed up for the waitlist on Yelp and was told about a 5-10 minute wait with a couple people ahead of me. Well being it was only myself I walked in and was able to get seated immediately at the bar area which was perfect! I was able to order within the first few minutes of sitting down because I've had their ramen at the Oakland location a couple times and already knew what I wanted. My food came out really fast! It was exactly what I was expecting. Warm creamy broth, perfect chewy noodles and a runny egg to top it. I also love the wood ear mushrooms because they add an extra crunch to a normally one texture soup, plus they are my favorite mushrooms. read more

Came on a Saturday night at 5pm and it was packed! We were able to seated right away but when we were done at 5:35pm, there was a line outside. We order a A5 Wagyu Maze Soba and a Hakata Tonkotsu DX. The Hakata Tonkotsu was good with thin noodle. Very minimal meat. DX has an extra meat which we didn't think it's worth it. A5 Wagyu Maze Soba comes with chili oil and vinegar. Without the sauce the soba was bland . Overall, it was not bad but for the price, the portion was small. read more

My favorite local Ramen spot, still very busy and popular(especially on weekends). You can go wrong with their ramens. If you're really hungry, I can recommend trying their Chicken Paitan DX which comes with a tasty chicken leg on a hot plate. Always excellent and efficient service and great food! You can expect pretty quick turnover, even if there is a line. 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

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

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

I've always wanted to try Marufuku and see if it's worth the hype and yup it 100% is. We totally lucked out coming on a weekend for lunch and barely waited maybe 10 minutes for a seat? Upon getting our seat, our waiter was attentive and quick and we got our orders done fast. I love love love the kids' ramen meal; it's reminiscent of our trip to Japan with our kid where the kids' meals have so much to offer (a bowl of ramen, popcorn chicken, edamame, broccoli, juice box and a little dessert thingy). He also got a coin after to get a toy from the gachupon machine. I've had ramen all over the Bay and the flavor here truly feels like we are back in Japan. We did also order takoyaki which I accidentally burnt the roof of my mouth on so be careful, it's hot! Overall, I'd definitely come back and my belly was happy. 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

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

Five stars. Amazing service is first. Even though we came in 15 min before closing usually when the kitchen closes, they still accepted us and took the time to explain the menu. The ramen as usually was delicious. Ingredients aplenty and broth was savory. The volume wasn't too bad so it's a great place to have a convo. The space they took over was renovated beautifully as well. Parking is also plenty as you can park in the back. One of the best Marufuku branches out t read more

Found out there is a Marufuku close by so gave it a visit while craving ramen in a cold and cloudy afternoon. There was a wait time of 15 mins when we went so we just walked around until it was our time. I got the ramen and my bf got a karaage bowl. The ramen was good, other than maybe too much green onions, it was really enjoyable. The karaage bowl, same problem, too much green onions, and so was the mentaiko bowl I got. I mean I do love green onions but the onion they put on everything was a bit much. It was pungent and all I could taste. I usually eat everything because I don't want to waste food, but I had to move some of that green onion aside. read more

Delicious ramen with rich, flavorful broth. Make a phone reservation, since it gets busy. Service is very fast, to the point that plates get taken before you're finished. One gripe: the server brought juices for our kids without asking and then charged us for them. Please ask before serving extras. We returned them, but it was avoidable. Otherwise a great meal. 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

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

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

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

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.

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
