    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~

I love being in pain, and when you ask for spicy, you will get spicy. My go to is the chongqing zajiang or the yibin burning noodles. I've also tried chengdu zajiang and the sour pickled mustard with shredded pork, the stir fried potatoes, and the chicken with chili sauce. All dishes were excellent.

We ordered the cold chicken and cold beef appetizers, and both were disgusting. They were cold, unappealing, and lacked the quality I would expect from a restaurant charging these prices. The chicken fried rice had very little chicken and seemed to have way too much soy sauce. The tofu with white rice was also bland and not appealing. The noodles were extremely al dente--almost like they were cooked for an Italian pasta dish. Meanwhile, the dumplings were overcooked. The service was another disappointment. Our server didn't even ask what we wanted to drink. We all ended up with water because the server never came back to offer us anything else. And then came something I found absolutely ridiculous: we were told by the servers that if the restaurant became busy, we might have to move from our table or share the table with other customers. What kind of dining experience is that? If I'm paying restaurant prices for my meal, I expect to be able to sit at my table and enjoy my dinner without being told that strangers may be seated with us. For the prices they charge, I expected much better food, preparation, service, and overall hospitality. Instead, the food was either bland, overly dependent on soy sauce, undercooked, or overcooked, and the service was poor. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would not return. Very disappointing from start to finish.

Honestly not much to brag about. I thought the noodles were cooked well but the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I believe it's served with chili oil, a mound of minced garlic and some vegetables. Outside of those ingredients I thought it needed more flavor or substance. The beef rolls were ok to me as well. I liked how crispy the roll was and size. Good portions of sliced beef served with cilantro. It was refreshing but the meat was generally cold with some warmness provided by the roll. But that quickly faded. Would prefer it to be warmer. The highlight was the pot stickers. Beef and onion were good. Really enjoyed the presentation of the dish. The edges of the pot sticker were really thick. Almost chip like. I enjoyed it as much as the dish itself. Would get it again. Overall I thought the food was ok. I'm sure there are better highlight dishes than what I ordered but they weren't selected this go around. Also the prices are a little higher than most dumpling spots so I just expected more.

The rolls were rather greasy and indulgent, and I would probably skip them next time. If you must try them, I'd recommend limiting yourself to one or two pieces. The Golden Prime Beef Soup, on the other hand, packs a serious kick. If you can't handle much spice, definitely let the staff know. Those bright red chilies aren't just for show; their heat permeates the entire broth. My conclusion is about the same as my introduction: the fare is inoffensive, but it's consistent and good.

I didn't have much room left, so I had to take a strategic approach... more like a sniper. One careful bite at a time. The monster ate, ate some more, and then ate even more. So satisfied there's only one thing left to do: go home, lay down, and not move for several hours.

    One of the OG's that have been with Haven City Market since they first opened and since I first…read morestarted going there. If I'm not sure what to eat, this is always a solid choice. Sizzling plates used to be THE big thing in the early and mid 2000s with lots of boba places having them as as specialty (RIP Coffee Break and MJ's Tea House), but now aside from a handful of businesses and Pepper Lunch, they're much more rare. Glad that the IE has Sizzlin' Place as one of their sizzling plate heavy hitters. Aside from the sizzling plates, they have other menu items including fried appetizers, soup and dried noodles, and sides like fries and takoyaki, but if you're going to a sizzling plate place, you gotta get a sizzling plate, you know? That's decorum. Service is welcoming and friendly, and efficient in the safest way possible with the scorching hot plates. Seating can get limited due to the nature of the meal, but I've never had an issues the times I chose to eat here. Ambiance can be relaxed and chill when the Haven City Market isn't busy, but during weekends or rush hour, it can get a bit hectic and there may be a bit of a wait. A staple that you can never go wrong with is the hot plate beef and if you're a carnivore or if you're sharing, you have to upsize and upgrade it. The slices of beef here are just slightly thicker than what I'm used to at Pepper Lunch, but that just means it'll shrink less and get less stuck on the hot plate as well. You get a hearty serving of rice with some corn on top, pepper, and green onions. Like other sizzling plate places, you can always get pasta or udon instead of rice, if you're feeling a bit more adventurous. Super hot, filling meal that's easy to eat. Not the most flavorful sometimes, at least with what I order, and in comparison to other competitors, but hits the spot when need be.

    Service: Very nice and courteous, it was our first time here and definitely a great experience…read more Ambiance: Very nice restaurant very clean, very esthetic. Food: DELICIOUS yes DELICIOUS! We ordered spicy Crunchy cucumbers, dumplings, chicken noodles, fried rice, egg rolls, cheese wontons and wings( kids choice) EVERYTHING was delicious, great flavors, good portions. Definitely recommended for a good bite.

    We decided to try Mr. Dumpling in Rancho Cucamonga and ordered the noodles, fried rice, and a few…read moredifferent dumplings. Overall, everything was just okay. The noodles were definitely my favorite part of the meal--they had the best flavor. The fried rice was decent, but my husband and I weren't fans of the dumplings. The wrappers were much too thick for our liking, which took away from the filling. The customer service was just okay, nothing memorable. The restaurant also didn't have any music playing, so it felt a little awkward hearing everyone's conversations while we were eating. The inside was pretty plain as well--not a cute or aesthetic spot if that's something you look for. One thing that really stood out was that they didn't provide us with plates, only small bowls, which made it inconvenient to share and enjoy our food.Unfortunately, this place just wasn't for us, and we don't plan on coming back.

    Usually Bone & Broth is a hit! The noodles today however tasted quite off. My mom's was undercooked…read moreand my partner's was overcooked. The broth was still really good. We brought my brother who has Celiac because previous reviews said it was gluten free. Be aware!!! The pho noodles are gluten free but the pho bone broth is NOT. He had to get it with veggie broth. Please note that the veggie broth does NOT come seasoned. We had to ask for salt on the side to season it ourselves. I'm not sure if they forgot to season it before bringing it to us, esp because the staff knew fish sauce was gluten free. It was honestly very disappointing. There was also a staff member who seemed new at the job that kept saying incorrect things without asking someone that knew more. He first told us that there was no gluten free menu option, which was later corrected by another more knowledgeable server. Make sure to ask someone who looks like they know what they're doing!

    I picked up my mom from the airport and she was craving for some PHO. So I searched on Yelp for the…read moreclosest PHO spot with high ratings and reviews. BONE and BROTH appeared on top of the search list so we decided to go check it out... SERVICE: Good Service! The guy at the cashier said we can pick any seat we wanted and he will bring us the menu. The only thing I didn't like was him calling my husband "BOSS" when I'm actually the one paying for the meal so please TAKE NOTE that not all men are the BOSS ok! Women are much more independent nowadays... PHO: 9/10 Really good broth and noodles. However, the tendons are tough. Really just enjoyed the noodles and broth. Brisket was ok and it had lots of fat... APPETIZER: 9/10 Spring rolls were good but, the peanut sauce was on the bland and slimy side. The egg rolls were ok. The filling of the egg rolls were mushy. The fried shrimp rolls were probably the best out of the others... There was a guy always standing by the restroom... There were no plates given when the food came out so we had to flag them down for that... They don't have desserts... NOT BAD BONE & BROTH!!!!! AMBIANCE: 8/10 Spacious and semi modern decor... FILET MIGNON GARLIC NOODLES: 8/10 It was just ok. The noodles were too soggy and everything was just wet. The filet mignon was really chewy...

Intoxicating, mouth watering aromas from the kitchen, I am impatient and cannot wait for the dishes to arrive at my table. This is my fifth time coming here alone and with friends. I've never had an issue with the wait or the service. Everything is tip notch and I just absolutely love this restaurant. Today I ordered, the green beans and it's simply the best I've ever had. Just the right amount of salt and garlic, and what a crunch. The hot and sour soup, authentic and better than Chinatown. It's salty, spicy, vinegary, bamboo shoots was crushy too. The roasted duck was spectacular, crunchy skin and flavorful meat. Perfect seasoning. The orange chicken is a must. Crunchy and so so tasty. Every chicken pieces were crunchy and no bad pieces in this batch. This is not your panda Express orange chicken or Panda Inn, this is your Mr Chows Beverly hills orange chicken. The quality is un-matched. I don't know what these noodles are but they are crunch and delicious. I am so satisfied, and I also love the prices too, very good for this quality. I'm getting such a great deal.

We are one large party and yet the staff messed up big. And they claimed the manager isn't in. They have good food when it arrives but it's not orderly or friendly. Lacking communication with kitchen and staff. They used to be better
