Great option for a quick bite. The menu is located on the wall. You make your option, order at the counter and keep it moving. The grab and go style makes for a quick moving line. I got the beef udon which seems to be one of the more popular items. The udon noodles has a great bouncy chewy texture. It tastes freshly made. The broth itself was flavorful but I did also add some extra spice. (I like my broth spicy) Paired that off with a calamansi drink that can be compared to a style of lemonade. It was tart and sweet going perfectly with the beef udon.
The line here took about 15+ min to get our food. The service is not really existent because you get everything yourself. Seating can be hard to find after you get our food. The udon was bouncy and freshly made. The broth is delicious. The meat wasn't tender as how I remembered it though. The seasoning made it really sweet for some reason. It's not like the Waikiki location. Udon was still good but I wouldn't make my way out to Stonestown to eat this anymore.
Nothing to write home about here. Quick service, tray with soup that just missed the mark. the broth was tasty but cold like barely lukewarm so sad. the udon was ok but I prefer ramen, the thickness is too much. The tempura was fresh though & served hot which saved this place. Good prices, fair but adds up with tempura. Not a huge fan glad i finally tried but I wouldn't return ...
There's always a line out the door. Fortunately, they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, thus, as soon as you're in the door and grabbing your food, it goes pretty quickly. Udon is freshly made in house. Orders are made to order. The flavor is a bit different from others I've preferred prior like in Japan and Hawaii. Regardless, the udon noodles are always perfectly chewy and soft. There's plenty of tempura to choose from. You really can't go wrong with any of them honestly. My favorites is always the fried shrimp tempura. This was not our first time here and won't be our last.
Stopped by Marugame for lunch today and left happy! We ordered the Beef Udon ($11.99), Nikutama Udon ($13.49), Shrimp Tempura ($2.29), and a refreshing Calamansi drink ($3.50). Everything was served warm, fresh, and comforting. The udon noodles had a great texture, the broth was rich and flavorful, and the shrimp tempura was crispy and delicious. The Calamansi drink was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. For the quality, portions, and overall experience, the prices are hard to beat. If you're looking for a satisfying, warm meal that won't break the bank, Marugame is definitely worth a visit. It's a great spot for anyone on a budget who still wants fresh, tasty food. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
The food here is really delicious and very flavorful broth. Upon entering you wait in line and you first order the bowl you want then pass on to another worker to ask if you want any complimentary toppings. After that you are given a paper bowl to choose the variety of tempuras they had. We got the crabmeat tempura, shrimp tempura and zucchini. This place is more of a cafeteria style. After you pay and get your food, you find a seat to eat. They also had a section where you can get your tempura sauce and ginger. The beef udon and spicy tomato beef udon are great options. I would definitely be coming back!
The food was fresh, but because of the time it takes to eat the udon with the broth, the udon gets really soggy. Somehow, they need to nit overcook the udon and realize that the udon is still cooking because of the warmth of the broth. The egg was nice and runny. I am still glad I tried it. I got the original creamy which is the most popular. I also got a side if fried chicken katsu and pumpkin. The texture was great. Both were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. My friend got their clam seasonal special which I thought tasted amazing.
Marugame Udon is a solid place for a quick and satisfying meal. The udon noodles were fresh and had a great chewy texture, and the tempura was crispy and tasty. The prices are reasonable!
I have always been a fan of Marugame but I've never tried this specific location before. So much bigger than the other locations Ive been to. Fresh noodles, fresh broth, fresh toppings! There is a flavor for every single profile and I also tried the new bolognese flavor from my friend which was surprisingly good as well. Plenty of seating and parking in a great area. So much stuff to do after! Would definitely recommend:)
I've been going to this location since it opened, and it is outstanding. During the pandemic, I ate a lot of delivery Marugame, and let me say that being in person is a million times better. When you can see the steam from the noodles escape the front door on a cold day, you know you're in for a comforting, cozy, and tasty treat. The udon is really good. The noodles are silky and smooth, and they also have a great chew to them. About 90% of the time, I get the Nikutama: the broth is deep in flavor, the egg is wonderfully poached, the beef is thinly sliced and sweet. When served hot and accompanied with the tempura crisps, green onion, and grated ginger, it's out of this world. I love making the perfect bite in a deep spoon of noodle, beef, egg, and toppings. The fried sides are all pretty good, and I think the tamago is particularly good. The only tough thing is the potential wait time and difficulty finding a seat, though I've found the line moves at a speed such that you can generally find a table where someone is leaving right as you've finished paying (if you're a group of 2 or by yourself).
This is always a go-to when we want some udon! My go-to is the nikutama and I always ask them to add green onions and tempura flakes (no added $!) It's self service so you grab a tray and tell them your order and they will place the bowl on your tray after. You can also pick what tempura you want after! I like the pumpkin and tamagoyaki.
I was at Stonestown, and since the weather was cloudy, I thought it would be nice to have some hot broth. When I visit a noodle restaurant, I expect the broth to be hot, not warm or lukewarm. I ordered the Beef Dashi Broth - Beef Served with sweet beef ($11.95). Unfortunately, the broth was only warm and not hot at all, which was disappointing. The beef was shredded beef, but it didn't really taste like beef. Next time I visit, I won't order the Beef Dashi Broth again.
TLDR: Excellent Udon and Tempura in a Quick Serve Cafeteria-style setting. I love the tempura and curry udon here especially. Line moves quickly. Backstory: Marugame Udon is a chain of Udon restaurants that started in Japan, but for us, we discovered it years ago while on vacation in O'ahu. Known as Marukame (but with a "K" in deference to local Hawaiian tradition) in Hawaii, Marugame Udon is best known for affordable delicious bowls of udon noodles made from scratch using flour from Japan. Fast forward several years, and we could not believe our eyes when Marugame Udon was opening shop right here in Stonestown Galleria. Marugame Udon has since expanded their menu from just udon & tempura, to also include rice bowls to address a wider variety of appetites. Walk up, and you'll typically find a longish line out the door around lunch and dinnertime, especially on the weekends. The line moves relatively quickly. Once inside, Grab a tray, study the menu and order up with the cook behind the counter. They make and cook the udon fresh right behind the glass. You are served cafeteria style, so once you get your bowl of udon or rice planted onto your tray, pick out some tempura items to go with it. Lots of different tempura items - freshly fried before you, including chicken and shrimp (my top 2 favorites) as well as vegetarian udon selections that are also good (zucchini, eggplant, etc) My favorite udon here is the curry udon, but you really can't lose with any of the udons here. I generally order a small curry udon and a couple of pieces of tempura. Yum! Once you reach the end of the tempura counter, pay up at the cashier, and find a table. Outdoor seating too, but hey.. it's kinda cold and breezy in this part of town most of the time, so take your pick. Verdict: All said, while this isn't a fancy place in the least, I enjoy coming here for the food. The service is courteous and fast and the udon and tempura is consistently good here.

Beef udon is my go to! It's super flavorful and they give a good amount especially if you get the large. I would recommend eating right away since the noodle does soak up the soup. Line is always moving and fast ordering. read more
Delicious! Freshly made noodles and soup. Get in line, look at menu on wall, order, move along, grab any extra fried sides after, grab drinks, pay The broth is pretty salty. Makes me thirsty. My go to is the Nikutama udon. Love the crispy fried flakes, good crunch before the broth gets it soggy. The Calamansi juice $3.50 was super good! read more

Oof, was I unimpressed. I caught them right before a Sunday dinner rush, so the line wasn't outside. When I was asked for my order, I went with a regular beef bowl. Due to chaos parents in front of me holding up the whole line, they had to re-make my order at the presentation area because everything had gotten out of whack. Ok, very normal when a dad with 3 kids is in front of you in a line. But since I had extra time to look at the line, it was really messy back there with food everywhere. If I had an allergy I would worry about cross-contamination in a big way. I pulled my tray forward onto the rails and it had been set down in a pool of dashi right in front of the employee passing them out. At a minimum, wipe it down when it all gets sticky as it is just going to sticky up the whole line. As the business owner, tweak your rails so the tray goes over the puddle! The tempura station was a chaotic mess, some things completely overflowing and clearly sitting a bit while multiple options were completely empty. The tongs were also once again sticky. Checkout was checkout, nothing to call out there except multiple signs asking for reviews and offering comped beverages if you did. But the real problem was the dining area. The condiment station was a disaster with no clean spot to place your tray, random cardboard boxes there, empty napkin holders, sauce on the floor by the dish return, etc. So many tables had trash on them or spills, and the patio area had birds plus trash blowing around. My Udon was perfectly fine, my piece of egg tempura room temperature, and my hands sticky when leaving since the dish return area was sticky too. I get that this is mainly problems that other customers create, but as a mega-chain, you need processes for this. One might be figuring out how to keep children from messing with things. But I think it all comes down to being understaffed which is on management. And don't give me the "we can't hire" line, this location is right by a train station that connects with the rest of the city and BART while being near a college. Pay more if you have to! read more

I've been here multiple times since they opened. I would've given them 5 stars before but I'm taking a star off now since things have changed. What kept me coming back often before was the low prices, the unlimited self serve tempura bits, green onions, etc, but they took that away. I didn't like how the serving trays were all very wet and gross looking. And I wish the egg yolk was runny and not well done. Also, I wish the bowls were bigger for the smaller size. It's a struggle to eat when the soups filled to the brim, but please don't give less soup based on this comment lol. Overall I still like the fresh udon and I like that they've expanded the menu. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner while at the mall. It wasn't busy, super quick, friendly, and delicious food. The broth is flavorful, meat tender, and noodles with good texture. Lots of seating inside and like the self serve area so you can get things at your leisure. read more

Food was delicious! I'm usually not much of an udon person and didn't have high hopes, but I was pleasantly surprised! I got their classic clear broth udon which was satisfying and filling. The noodles were soft and chewy, and not tough or undercooked. The soup was very rejuvenating and perfect for a chilly day My partner got the beef tomatama which I believe is seasonal. The sliced meat paired well with the tangy, salty broth. We liked both noodles dishes and would recommend! They also have a la carte dishes you can grab yourself as you checkout which is very convenient. We got a side of fried pumpkin which was quite bland. I'm not sure if they purposefully don't season it but it was missing either some sugar or salt. They have a pretty spacious indoor and outdoor seating as well being next to the mall. read more
I've been to this udon shop many times while shopping around in the Stonestown area. On a Friday evening, the lines were pretty much continuous, but the turn around time for the tables were quick. I tried one of their most loved udons, their Nikutama Udon. The noodles were springy and thick and fresh, and the portion size was generous. i loved the crispy fried onions sprinkled on top along with the soft boiled egg. The sweet beef was also good and complemented the rest of the dish. However, the broth was a bit too salty for my taste. I love how everything is made fresh in front of you, and you have the option to customize with sides or tempura (I grabbed one shrimp tempura which was good and crunchy). read more
Always soooo delicious, especially on a chilly Fall/Winter day! Line was long on Sunday around 1pm - we waited around 25 minutes. We did get samples of their calamansi and Pineapple Sunrise drinks while in line. The calamansi was pretty good, but I'm not a fan of the Pineaple Sunrise - it tasted a bit medicinal to me. I got a large Kitsune Udon (with all included toppings) along with cheese tempura and shrimp tempura on the side. I usually get the tamago tempura but I've never seen the cheese tempura so wanted to try that. Udon here is always solid quality, and the kitsune is so deliciously sweet and soft. Portions are filling and relatively cheap. Love coming here when I go to Stonestown, and I'll definitely be back. read more
Been a while since I had Marugame Udon and they had a lot of new dishes to try. The Bolognese Udon was interesting, not quite a favorite. It was definitely a pasta with udon noodles, it was good to try, but wouldn't order again. Also got the Kake with green onions, tempura flakes, and tempura sides. I chose the Pork Katsu and the Potato Croquette tempura. The pork was very tough and hard to bite off, but the potate croquette was tasty and would order again! Love that they make the udon noodles here! read more

Marugame Udon first won us over on a trip to Oahu, where the line was literally out the door. After one bite, it all made sense. Their udon is incredibly fresh, chewy, and satisfying. I usually go for the tonkatsu variety, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the bowls since the noodles are freshly made and consistently delicious. Living in Denver means we don't get to Hawaii very often, so I was thrilled to discover they also have a San Francisco location. I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town, and my most recent dinner visit absolutely delivered. The service was impressively fast, even during a busy dinner rush, and the food came out hot and flavorful. The ambiance at the SF location is probably the weakest part. It's inside a larger mall complex, so it's not exactly cozy or memorable. But honestly, I could care less because the udon is that good. Already looking forward to my next trip to San Francisco so I can come back again. read more
U-don expect a cafeteria-style place to be consistently fulfilling with top tier craftsmanship, but Marugame hits! This Stonestown location is NorCal's first Marugame Udon, and so there were long lines in the first couple of years. These days, it's thankfully pretty chill with the same great quality and more side options, but less udon flavors. I've been able to try their entire menu since I used to live pretty close, as well as a few seasonal broth offerings. Parking at Stonestown is usually kind of annoying, but you'll eventually get it. Line up, take a tray, pick your udon (or rice bowl if you don't want udon at an udon restaurant), ask for complimentary tempura flakes and sliced green onions (this used to be self-serve in the past), pick any sides and tempura, pay at the register, and seat yourself. You get your own utensils, sauces, water, and such in the area near the end of the line. You also bus yourself when you're done. Quick, efficient, and easy. You're not going to find anything fancy here, but it's good ol' comfort food at a very cheap price in this economy, and especially Japanese food?! Yeah, that's why Marugame Udon is an easy 5 star local favorite (taste-wise, I do prefer other places, so affordability and accessibility are huge factors here). Where else can you get a bowl of freshly made noodles for $6 (used to be even cheaper)? Their udon noodles are most likely the best in the bay, with an amazing chew and thickness that's pretty hard to find. Their most popular flavor is the nikutama, which is sweet beef slices with caramelized onions atop a concentrated shallow broth, and an onsen egg. It's pretty flavorful but a bit too sweet and soy for me, so I prefer the other flavors. I think the curry version just tastes like curry soup - also not my preference as I like it more thick, and their chicken katsu is way too hard and dry. The tonkotsu style broth is a cute hybrid with udon in a soup base designed for ramen, and they've recently made the change to chicken-based broth, which was not an upgrade. If you like creamy, heartier soups, it's satisfying; their seasoned eggs used to be hard-boiled and sad, but their yolk game is getting better. I do like their soft and supple chashu. I personally am partial to the classic dashi broth or sauce udon, and add an extra tempura or two if I'm hungry (shrimp is probably the most solid choice, but to each their own!). As an aging adult, I'm usually full from the regular size but can tackle a large if ravenous, which is really just extra soup and udon. Marugame's seasonal flavors have been interesting, and I hope to see more unusual concoctions. They've done things such as broths flavored like tom yum, Thai green curry, and most recently a dashi mixed with some egg salad/tartar sauce topping that made it creamy, with some orange chicken thing going on. read more

*No more cold udon option* Let me be clear that I actually really enjoy eating marugame. I do not actually think it is a 1 star. However, they have recently removed the cold udon options without any notice. When I went to order and asked for cold udon, they told me that they are no longer serving it. I had to do a double take back at the menu, as it still says they have cold udon. I highly doubt I will come here as often now. read more

Thank you for the detailed review, Jacob. Your feedback means the…
After our first experience at Marugame Udon on Oahu, I was pretty stoked that they opened a location at Stonestown Galleria. I finally got to check out this San Francisco mall locale on the evening of Friday, July 11, 2025. Located at the mall, there is plenty of free parking in the lot. Similar to its sister eatery in Waikiki, if you plan to visit and see no line, jump in right away as a long queue can easily grow out the door within a blink of an eye. This is exactly what happened to me when I arrived shortly before 7 PM on July 11. Wait time to get to the counter to order is not long, though. On the day of my brief visit, the venue appeared clean and tidy. Marugame is cafeteria-style self-service; grab a tray, tell the cooks on the other side of the counter what bowls (udon and/or rice) you are getting, pick up any tempura items you want as you traverse along the counter, and place your drink orders with the cashier when you pay. You carry all of your items to your table or to the separate counter where you can pick up sauces, utensils, etc. Similarly, if you dine in, there is a designated area for returning your dishes before leaving. Below are what we ordered for take-out: GYOZA ($4.49): A great price for five pieces of these crispy Japanese potstickers. To my pleasant surprise, they maintained their crisp by the time I got them home to eat. SHRIMP TEMPURA ($2.29): Good. I was happy that this piece did not become soggy by the time I got it home. PUMPKIN TEMPURA ($1.99): DJ enjoyed this. VEGAN BROTH TAN TAN (LARGE for $14.99): Yay for a fully vegan option! DJ got extra scallions and tempura flakes for this at no extra cost. He appreciated that they automatically packed the soup contents separately from the broth for to-go. CURRY NIKUTAMA (LARGE for $16.65): The sweet beef and soft-boiled egg were also packed separately from the curry sauce. The meat was a bit too fatty for me, unfortunately. Good thing that I ordered a side of Kitsune-Age for my bowl. Kitsune Age ($3.59) - Yummy! I gotta admit - I did not enjoy this take-out order nearly as much as when we dined in at the Waikiki restaurant...even though I ordered the same bowl there. Perhaps it just comes down to the fact that food to-go can't compare to eating in-house, fresh from the kitchen. Though the sweet beef seemed less fatty in Waikiki. If we return, I'm going for the Kitsune. I wonder if they'll let me order it with Creamy Broth? read more
They close earlier now. It used to be 11pm, now 10pm. The restaurant was pretty busy with a short line at 9:30pm. The medium beef udon $12 is still good. Later at night, there aren't a lot of tempura left. You can tell the staff is ready to go home. The chef overfilled my bowl with soup spilling it all over my tray. I unknowingly put the crispy tempura on the paper dish. When I got to my table, the tempura was soaked in soup. Also, the floors were dirty. read more

Hi Jeff,…
I had a steaming bowl of creamy tantan ramen on a rainy Sunday and it was the most comforting meal in the last month. It was rich and nutty with chili heat, thick noodles, jammy egg and tempura shrimp so crisp they crackled against the rain outside. Highly recommended! read more
Loved this in Hawaii and was super ecstatic with one opening up in Stonestown. It was so good when it first opened, then it started going downhill with all the broth tasting warm and overly salty. Its been a few years since I visited and today when I went, there was many newly added items. I still stuck with the original, the Nikutama. This time the broth was hot, BUT.... did their portions shrink? I typically get the large and decided to get the regular this time because it was a late lunch and dinner was coming up. I supposed it was a perfect "snack" because the bowl was gone after 3-4 scoops. They weigh their noodles so I'm not sure how this could even happen. Will probably come back when I forget about how small the portions are. read more
I came here for a light dinner while shopping at Stonestown over the weekend. The line moved reasonably fast, and eventually, I got inside and ordered a regular sized bowl of the dashi broth udon. After paying, I searched for a table to sit at and took care to avoid tripping over the multitude of random children chaotically running around the restaurant. It was honestly a really stressful environment, and for that reason alone, I'm not eager to return. Once I was seated, I tried the noodles. I've had Marugame Udon in Hawai'i and SoCal too, and I can attest the quality and taste are the same. What always strikes me about this chain is how salty the food is. While the udon doesn't taste overly salty, I can sense it and need a lot of water and tea after. This time was no exception. read more

Will the origiris ever come back?? I miss it so much especially the mentaiko!!
What is the difference between ready to eat packaging option and the no option when trying to order delivery?
That means that all the ingredients like the broth, udon, protein are all mixed in one container already. Personally I prefer mine not like that so I could reheat the broth separately at home before adding everything else. I feel like the udon seems…
Do they still have the vegan udon:(?
Just went on 6/1/24, and had the vegan udon. It was delicious!
Do they still have onigiri?
I wish! When I went 2 weekends ago, they didn't have it.
Is Marugame offering cold udon for takeout?
Yes they are. I'd actually ordered "hot" noodles but received cold instead recently. Check their website for options.
Do they have vegetarian options, as all the meat broths are fish or beef-based? Or when will the vegetarian alternative be back?
Yes they have dishes with no meat. The Kitsune is what I normally get when I go. It's udon noodles and tofu... And then I add plenty green onions to it.
Do any of the dishes contain dairy?
This Japanese Udon place serves genuine food and I've never heard of Any Japanese food mixed with dairy....I'm highly sensitive to dairy myself and I am lactose intolerant myself too as well and nothing happened to me while i was eating here but I…
If you placed an order online for pickup. Where is the pickup? Do I wait in line or go straight to the register?
I was confused the first time too. If you order and pay online then when you enter, go to the left and there is a long table with pickup orders. Customer pickup is on the end nearest the register.
Does your delivery work? Can I order food now?
Hi Aaron, Our delivery should always be working. Please know that we do not control any delivery…
Does anyone know if Marugame is selling all of their snack sides (chicken katsu, masubi)?
I was there a couple of days ago and bought sides of tempura and croquettes
Do they have all the spam masubi and onigiris during this time? I would like some hand snacks, but don't want to drive all that way only to be told they're limiting their menu... *edit* they don't
No, I was there two weeks ago. They have chicken katsu sandwich's though.
Hello Marugame! Do you have any *vegan options yet? What are they specifically? Past reviewers said your other branches have vegan options. This is NorCal, so I'm sure it will be appreciated by many including my friends! Thanks!
Yes they do! They have an Edamame Salsa Udon! Personally haven't tried it but heard good things about it!
Can the tonkotsu udon be non-spicy? (I.e. no chilli oil)
Yup! They add it at the end so you can tell them to hold off on the chili oil
