    So happy that Marugame Udon finally opened! I actually think the food quality at this location is better than the Chino Hills one. The overall taste is quite close to what I've had in Hong Kong and Japan. I ordered the #12 Kake Udon with the clear dashi broth. The broth was light but flavorful, with a really nice bonito aroma. The udon texture was just right -- pleasantly chewy without being too soft or overly firm. Adding the self-serve toppings like green onions, seaweed, and grated ginger made the broth even more flavorful. My only disappointment was the tempura selection. There were very few choices compared with Marugame locations in Hong Kong or Japan -- probably not even a quarter of the variety. The tempura counter is one of my favorite parts of Marugame, so I really hope they add more fried items in the future. Overall, I'm very happy with the food quality here and definitely glad to finally have this location open!

    So excited that Marugame Udon opened up in Victoria Garden! We came over for dinner after a movie date. We ordered Nikutama Udon, the beef rice bowl, and tempura: cheese, shrimp, and tamago. The service was really good, considering it was mostly self-serve. There wasn't much to choose from in the tempura section because most of it had already been sold for the day. The staff told us that if we didn't see the ones we wanted, they could freshly fry a new one for us. We ordered and paid, and one staff member even brought the tempura to our table after it was made. The nikutama were really good, with the perfect amount of udon and beef, and I loved the savoury, refreshing broth. The beef bowl was equally delicious, served with seaweed and sesame soup. The tempura was crispy and well made; two of the three we got were freshly fried. Overall, everything was delicious, and the service was great. There is even a condiment cart where you can get more tempura flakes, green onion, ginger, soy sauce, etc. There is also a self-serve water station

    Nice having something made by hand and not the same ol same ol. Menus thru out. Nice and bright inside. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Very easy to order, almost cafeteria style. Shrimp Tempura made to order. The food was prepared fast ava served really hot. Great flavor and portion size was good.

    8/9/2026 Combined review since I visited within a week. First time I visited, I ordered via self-order kiosk. The kiosk is for TAKEOUT ONLY. If you want to dine in, you need to go to the Order counter and order there. Ordered for early dinner at 5pm. No line. Take Out Order: BEEF GYUDON Added on the side: Shichimi Pepper, Ginger (both at no additional cost) Rice was done well. Not mushy. Beef was slightly dry, it was lacking that moisture and sweetness from the fatty bits of the beef. It could have had more fat in the meat. Fat also means more flavor. However, I do love that they gave a heaping scoopful of beef! The takeout container was big and it can be shared for two. SWEET POTATO TEMPURA Crispy, crunchy, not salty. Sweet potato had a good, soft interior. SHRIMP TEMPURA Crispy, crunchy delicious! I should have gotten two! POTATO CROQUETTE Crispiest of them all! Inside was fluffy with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots inside. This was my favorite! CALAMANSI DRINK Loved! Such a good drink! Very light in tartness, a very fruity, citrus flavor that reminded me of a cross between an orange and grapefruit with a hint of lemon. Second visit. I dined-in, I went as soon as they opened on a Sunday at 11:00am. There were a few people in line. But line moved quickly. Dine-In Order: BEEF UDON Fresh, soft, chewy texture of the udon. Very slurpable! Liked the light dashi broth. Such a comforting broth! The beef was not dry the second time being here and beef was tender and sweet. Really delicious and the portion was perfect for one! TEMPURA Also ordered the shrimp tempura, potato croquette and cheese katsu. Everything tasted delicious! Crunchy and crispy as expected. The cheese katsu was delicious, but one thing is that there was no cheese pull. It was basically fried mozzarella cheese stick. My favorites from both visits: - Beef Gyudon - Potato Croquette - Shrimp Tempura - Calamansi Drink STATIONS It is all self-serve. There are stations to add toppings at the center of the dining area. Another station had utensils, napkins, to go boxes and bowls. Then there's the Return Here station where you throw away the leftovers and leave the spoons, trays and bowls before you leave. It was a bit confusing where to leave the bowls, but you can leave it on the other side of where the trays are. Just push farther to the inside, so it doesn't fall into the trash bin. AMBIANCE + TABLES Casual and clean ambiance, no loud music. Easy to navigate and order at the Order station or at the self-order kiosk. There are plenty of tables both indoors and outdoors! There's a variety of tables. However, the indoor tables have a large bench style cushioned seat on one side for tables for 2 and also have tables for 4. CUSTOMER SERVICE Staff was nice and answered any questions I've had. LOCATION + PARKING Located at Victoria Gardens, right next to Brio Grille on Monticello + S. Mainstreet. Free parking, plenty of outdoor parking near the restaurant and you do not need to walk far to find a good parking spot.

    Marugame udon is a cool udon shop in Victoria gardens that is really unique! Most of the cooking and prep is visible through a clear partition, so you can actually watch them prepare your order, which is something Ive never seen before! Most of their options are udon variants but they do have some rice bowls and other items. One thing I really liked was there was a tempura bar where you could select individual items. This bar also had an option to get something freshly fried if requested. Despite the cool set up, I was not impressed with my meal. I had the #19 the chicken katsu yaki and my meal did not look like the picture. There was barely any veggies(only a bit of cabbage) and katsu piece I was given had a big section where I think the actual chicken fell out and there was only a fried empty crust. The crust was very well seasoned and delicious but the lack of protein and veggies was not ideal. Maybe I just got unlucky. I do want to shout out the staff though because they were so nice and welcoming when we walked in. The energy felt really good! Date of visit : Aug 6, 2026

    Curry Nikutama, Eel and Beef over Rice

    Marugame in Rancho is the awesomest thing ever. No need to go to OC or Chino anymore I can just walk over- Service is great and the system is run very tight. Interior and food line spotless. Prices are more than fair. This is the only place that sells eel over rice and it was really good. I very much love the Japanese business strategy of region-exclusive and seasonal items!! I wish this place great business for as long as I live in Rancho!

    Container with broth was not packed good. I wish they would of used plastic bag to wrap around the containers of broth so liquids wont leak out of papaer bag. I was excited to get home to try the udon but when i got home i saw the container of broth was partially open and leaked all over paper bag and onto my car seat and carpet. I couldn't even eat the udon to get the whole experience because the broth was all gone.

    My husband and I were here for their friends & family event prior to their grand opening. After that, we've been here a handful of times. My husband is not a noodle person at all. He doesn't typically eat udon or any type of soup noodles, but I think he's converted now and he'll even ask to eat here. It's cafeteria style where you order while you're in line and then by the end you order your drinks and pay. Then you can seat yourself. They also have an outdoor patio and we've eaten out there with our dogs twice so far. Customer service is usually on point when we've dined here. The times where I'm outside with the dogs, someone will help my husband carry the food outside with him. Other than udon, I've also tried their Nikutama Bento. The only negatives are the meals can be pricey, but worth it. You have to pay for the tempura pieces individually. Also I wish the broth in the udon came out hotter. The last couple times, the broth is already luke warm.

    Finally. A Marugame udon near my hometown & I no longer have to drive to LA or OC to get it! This udon soup always hits the spot. We even had it in London (& after eating Italian food for a week, I was grateful to have some Asian food!). This udon place always hits the spot no matter which location I'm eating at! The tempura had just the right batter. Fried to the perfect temperature. The soup was good but I wish they added more beef. There was more noodles than meat. My hubby & I got a large bowl to share & it was more than enough for us (since we got a few tempura with it). The total was around $27 which was kinda pricey considering we shared. Otherwise service was excellent. Quick & efficient. The location was in the heart of Victoria gardens making it very convenient to come in to grab a quick bite & go back to shopping. we went on a Saturday night around 6:30pm & there was absolutely no line. I'm glad Victoria gardens is starting to have more diverse food!

    Marugame Udon, now open in Victoria Gardens Rancho Cucamonga, is a fast-casual Japanese chain known for freshly made Sanuki-style Udon noodles and tempura. The open kitchen showcases daily handmade wheat-flour noodles and savory broths at affordable prices. The cozy decor, ample seating, and friendly staff make it a family-friendly spot. With attentive service and consistently good food, it's a convenient choice for Udon lovers outside LA. Highly recommended. In addition to the signature Sanuki-style Udon, Marugame offers a wide selection of toppings and side dishes, such as sweet potato tempura, shrimp tempura, and soft-boiled eggs, allowing guests to customize their meals. The restaurant's interior features warm lighting, wood accents, and traditional Japanese art, creating an inviting atmosphere for both individuals and groups. Customers can watch the chefs knead and cut noodles behind glass panels and select from various broth options ranging from classic dashi to spicy tonkotsu. There are vegetarian choices and kid-friendly bowls available, ensuring everyone finds something suitable. With efficient ordering and quick turnaround times, it's easy for families or solo diners to enjoy a meal even during busy hours. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Marugame Udon delivers a genuine taste of Japan with quality ingredients and welcoming hospitality.

    First time dining at this location of Marugame Udon, and it was just as yummy as the only other location (Oahu) that I've been to. Food was delish, and the service was good. Only difference is the line doesn't go around the block like in Hawaii...lol! To be noted: if you want piping hot fresh tempura (or other items of the sort), ask them to make it for you. I didn't last night and just pulled it from the self serve counter. It was good, but not sizzling hot like I like it. As for our dinner, we each ordered the chashu tonkatsu style udon and some other goodies. Everything was served fresh and tasty.

    Teppan Beef yaki
    Steve H.

    We visit Victoria Garden specifically for Marugame Udon because it's hot and new at Rancho Cucamonga. Restaurant is spacious, the layout is similar with other chains, open kitchen and you order and pay at the end. Mostly self service. They are friendly, and also very busy. This location has a special teppan yaki udon menu. We try the teppan beef yaki ; the chicken katsu looks good too. Other dishes we try are Nicutama udon, creamy broth udon, BK udon large. Basically all the eggs, meat are savory, and soup is on the sweeter side. Udon noodles are chewy and soft. It's tasty and most kids will enjoy it. This Udon place is good for quick meal. Most people will enjoy it. They also have some fritters (a bit less in my opinion).

    One thing i love about Marugame is how good all their locations are. I've visited the chino hills and victoria gardens location and they're both amazing. I was too hungry and didn't even take a picture but I got #2 per the server's recommendation and i absolutely loved it! It was a little creamy but not too much, just more than the dashi ones which is what i needed. I felt the dashi is abit too salty for me. The place has plenty of seating too, with a nice view of the outdoor mall so the vibes were very peaceful~

Everything tasted fresh, and I liked that I could try a good variety without having to commit to just one or two rolls.

The space doesn't remind me of a sushi restaurant and more of a sports bar, but the space was playing the World Cup and was fit for the occasion. Their AYCE is a great price ($39.99), excluding their premium sushi rolls. Since I refrain from ordering rolls at an AYCE, this part didn't bother me much. We maxed out all the limited items, which was very generous, however, I wasn't sure of how many rounds were available, or how many pieces total were going to be included in the limited items, so we ended up with a LOT of nigiri. Our service was great, but spotty at several times. I loved all the nigiri items, especially the peppered salmon, ikura, and halibut. I'd pass on the red clam nigiri, and the fried appetizers as they were big portions but very filling! Delicious melt in your mouth pieces of yellowtail and salmon were the highlights for me. My friends enjoyed their unagi, and our friend's daughter enjoyed all the cooked items. Overall, I could say I understand the appeal of the restaurant!
