The heavy Asian guy who is the dishwasher needs an attitude adjustment. I was putting my bowl and tray back at the tray return, throwing away the disposable items, when he started shaking his head and rolling his eyes at me. Don't know what I didn't do to his satisfaction, but it's not like I left a mess. Maybe he was having a bad day although it was only 11:45. I ordered the value deal promo for $14.99. It's a good bargain with regular or large sized udon (same price), choice of one meat, two pieces of tempura, and a drink. A lot of food, good price, and got to try some new things. read more

Great beef udon, I find dining in is a lot better than take out. If you see a line for dine in, it moves pretty quickly. For dining in, you go down the line and order, then grab any additional tempura if you want, then pay! The calamansi lemonade is refreshing. I've tried the tonkatsu udon as well but it's not as good as tonkatsu ramen from other places so I've been sticking with the beef :) lots of seating and even more parking in the back. Overall, yummy but I feel like they don't add enough broth. It costs $3.25 for extra broth but as shown in the picture it's still so little I asked the staff if I could get more since I paid for extra and they said there would be more in the noodle container but that was incorrect. When ordering to go, you order at the kiosk to the right. But there's only 1 person making the to go orders so it can take longer to pick up. read more

The good: I tried the beef udon, potato croquette, chicken katsu, and mushroom tempura. My daughter loved the katsu. My picky son ate the udon two nights in a row. Our order was takeout and the packaging was easy to use and understand. The broths were labeled with matching stickers with the udon. The green onion and fried panko crumbs were all separate. It was nice how the meat/sauce was separate from the udon. The broth had an umami flavor with some sweetness. The bad: Both the curry and beef udon had a lot of cooked onion which my husband isn't a fan of so we picked it out for him. The interesting: I've been to their NorCal location. They sell gift cards online. read more

I hate writing this because Marugame has been our go-to since it opened in Torrance, but our last visit matched what recent reviewers have been saying. The staff seemed like they didn't want to be there, and customer service no longer felt like a priority. We came at an off hour and were the only people in line, yet it took about 10 minutes just to order. The person taking our order acted like he was doing us a favor, and the cashier clearly had better things to do than help customers. I'm not sure what changed recently, but it was sad to see. I hope they get back to the friendly service that made this our favorite spot. The udon is still worth coming back for if they can fix that. read more

Finally got to try this place out. We came on a Saturday around 430p. It wasn't crowded and we were able to take our time deciding what to get. First you order at the counter, then you move onto the tempura bar where you can pick different fried items to add to your entree. These items are an additional cost. Then after that you pay. I got the nikutama which is one of their best sellers which comes with beef and a soft boiled egg. I loved the taste of the beef and the broth was really delicious. Noodles were cooked to my liking. I wanted to love the tempura bar but I wasn't a fan of my tempura being cold. I prefer it being hot and fresh and since it was just sitting there it got cold after a while. I will definitely be back to have more udon. But maybe skip the tempura bar unless they have an option in which I can order it fresh. Restaurant was spacious and clean. Bathrooms were clean as well. read more

This is our second time coming to this Marugame location (almost two years later!). The line went by quick, we came at the rush but the staff moved very efficiently through orders. We tried their new item the Cheese Katsu Tomatama udon. The broth was flavorful and thick; it had some sweetness with a kick of spice. The katsu was really crispy and felt freshly fried. The katsu is a pork katsu! The cheese is a cheese sauce mixed with egg. Definitely a more interesting udon dish -- felt reminiscent of a play on tomato and egg dish! We also got the curry nikutama udon which is a classic and my fave! Nothing unusual, the curry soup was thick and had lots flavor especially with the toppings (tempura flakes and green onion). They have a lot of beef in the large portion too! The gyudon was packed to the brim with rice and a lot of beef! They had the sauce on the side and asked us what we preferred. I'd rec getting it on the side in case you're not a fan then you can just not eat it! There's a ton of seating inside and outside! Would definitely recommend coming here and they have different seasonal menu items so always something new and fun to eat :) read more

On my way to an appointment this place caught my eye. I was famished so I decided to stop in. It was my first time here so I went with their most popular bowl, the Nikutama, loaded with braised beef, tenkasu, green onions, and a soft onsen egg. The noodles are thick, chewy, and clearly made fresh. Broth is clean and dashi-forward. Solid bowl. I also got a spam musubi. It was fine, but the spam-to-rice ratio was not enough in my option. The tempura add-on bar is genuinely a nice touch. Crab meat, cheese, sausage, gyoza, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, potato croquette, chicken katsu, all ranging from about $1.99 to $4.99 per item. Lots of ways to build out your bowl. Service was fast and friendly, Japanese pop in the background, low-key atmosphere. It's a good spot. Not destination dining, but absolutely worth a stop if you're nearby and want something warm and fresh. read more

Marugame is my go-to for a quick and light bowl of udon and delicious tempura! I'm pretty basic and usually get the BK noodles hot, which is just noodles and a poached egg, and a side of kombucha tempura. Make sure you grab tempura dipping sauce and utensils from the self-serve bar! Marugame's cafeteria-style concept requires you to throw away your own trash and return your tray and dishes to the kitchen's return area window. read more

If you're craving comforting Japanese noodles in the South Bay, Marugame Udon is always a solid choice. I stopped by their Torrance location recently and was reminded why this place is so popular. The cafeteria-style setup keeps things moving quickly, but you still get freshly made udon that tastes like it came straight out of a cozy spot in Japan. You walk down the line, choose your udon, then load up on tempura and sides -- dangerous in the best way. We ordered the basic Kaka udon and the classic Nikutama (beef and soft-boiled egg) and the broth was rich, slightly sweet, and deeply savory without being too heavy. The udon noodles were thick, chewy, and perfectly cooked -- that ideal bouncy texture that's hard to find elsewhere. The onsen egg melted beautifully into the broth, making every bite extra silky. Pro tip: don't skip the tempura. The shrimp tempura was light and crispy, not greasy at all, and the vegetable options (especially the sweet potato) were just as good. I also love that you can customize your bowl with green onions, tempura flakes, and sauces at the toppings station. The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and casual -- great for a quick lunch, low-key dinner, or even a solo meal. It does get busy during peak hours, but the line moves efficiently. Overall: affordable, filling, and consistently delicious. If you're in Torrance and want quality udon without the fuss, this spot definitely hits the mark. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Great curry udon, I like the Kalamansi juice too. Big place, long lines, worth the wait. It's like a cafeteria style line, and they put together your udon as you walk down, you can add fried tempura and other finger foods as you walk with your tray. Play area outside. Food was was a good value. Would come back. read more

Food was mid but this review is strictly for the service. I ordered about 40-50 dollars worth of food. When i get to the cashier I wanted to order a drink and asked what flavor was the yellow lemonade with a weird name. The young asian girl that seemed like someone peed on her cereal looked at me with a straight face and said "lemonade." I was about to call her out like if she could be more specific but her straight face told me she meant to be rude. I was with my wife and baby and didn't want to ruin the day so ordered a different drink and moved on. Still, throughout my stay there she kept staring at us from the cash register as if she had something against us. I regret not calling her out, but if you read this post, you are customer service, treat people that spend money there with more respect. Needless to say, I won't be spending money there ever again. read more

The calamasi iced tea is also very refreshing and good! Service- excellent service!

My go to when I'm craving udon! I like how each bowl is made to order. I always go with the nikutama, which has the perfect amount of beef and udon in a flavorful broth. Portion is pretty decent that I still had some to take home. I also like their variety of tempura options as a side because it gives a nice crunch alongside the softness of the udon noodles. Service is welcoming and prompt. Plenty of seating both inside and outside the restaurant. I appreciate how they have the condiments bar on the side with the ginger/sauces along with the water and take out containers/bags. Also, plenty of parking outside. If you're around the area, then I'd highly recommend coming here for lunch! read more

Came through on a sunny afternoon and this meal totally hit the spot. The food was awesome, decent portions of flavorful seasoned meat with udon, a perfectly soft-boiled egg, fresh green onions, and just the right spicy kick. The crispy tempura shrimp on the side was golden and addictive. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Service was quick and friendly. The outdoor patio vibe is super chill too, bright red chairs, plenty of seating, and nice open views. Perfect casual spot. read more

Love this chain of udon. I love that it's fast (cafeteria style, you get to go through the line with a tray and you pick what you want...especially the tempura!) and put in the condiments that you want on your order. It's so customizable to your taste. It may be fast, but the soup and udon is delicious. Nothing is greasy or oily. It feels light but fills you up like a warm hug in winter. Every Marugame Udon I've been to has been the same experience, the consistency is key.! read more

I came to this restaurant on a rainy day so soup was the perfect meal choice. There were outdoor seats, all soaked from the rain but we were able to get a table inside. The restaurant is set up almost like a cafeteria where you order, grab your food and whatever else you want on a tray, pay, and then sit to eat. The bowls come out quickly as everything is already prepared and they just assemble everything. I got the tonkotsu udon bowl and my husband got a katsu chicken curry bowl. The broth of the udon was nice and creamy and not too fatty. The noodles were nicely cooked and it came with a few pieces of charsu and an egg. The meat isn't the best quality I've had but the egg is delicious. The katsu chicken was a bit dry and the curry wasn't anything spectacular. I like that they have a toppings area where you can add green onions, flakes, or garlic to your bowls. We also got a tempura tamago which was delicious and tried a few of our family members tempura as well. Overall great place for a quick hearty meal but I wouldn't eat it all the time. read more

My daughter was feeling sick and I asked her if she wanted ramen or udon noodles, which is her favorite. She opted for udon and I was super stoked to find Marugame Udon located in Torrance. Like when did they open this new location? Found out they opened two years ago, so still fairly new. My first time experiencing Marugame Udon was at their original location in Waikiki, Hawaii. It's almost like an udon version of Chipotle. Lol. We ordered our food online for pick up and it was ready quicker than anticipated. Love this option as it's super convenient ordered our food for pick up at 5:15 PM and it was ready at 5:05 PM. Arrived at the location, which is located in the Hannam Chain Supermarket Plaza in the corner. The spot was spacious and very clean. Typically, you can go up to the counter and order: 1. Choose your noodles. 2. Choose your tempura. 3. Choose your drink. 4. Pay at the cashier. 5. Customize your toppings. 6. Enjoy. Our order was ready at the takeout pick up area next to the cashier. There is also an area to grab utensils and sauces/toppings. The takeout containers kept the noodles separate from the broth, so the noodles were not soggy. Smart. I will say there was minimal beef broth, and curry sauce and wish there was a little bit more. My daughter ordered the beef udon which was quite delicious. The caramelized onions added a nice hint of sweetness to be udon dish. I got the curry udon and added fresh vegetables to my order and as usual the curry was tasty but didn't have enough sauce. I actually ended up adding some chicken broth to lighten the curry sauce and it was perfect. All in all, the udon noodles are always fresh and the flavors are done well. Love me some Marugame Udon! read more

Going downhill. I haven't ate here in while due to the hot weather. It wasn't busy, walked in and was the only one in line. The people working behind the counter weren't attentive or friendly. After I ordered the self serve area was really dirty, all the tables needed to be wiped down, and even the outside area had trash everywhere. I came home and immediately had a stomach ache. I'm so disappointed because this place use to be clean and had great customer service. I went on yelp and noticed similar reviews about the quality and cleanliness going downhill. read more

Marugame always hits the spot if you're craving soup (esp after a climbing sesh just 5 min away). Around 1:30pm on a Sunday tho, it was busy! All the tables were taken, but luckily were able to snag a table for 5. The line was probably like 8 parties in deep, but it goes fast because they have an efficient system (similar to a factory line lol). Essentially the first step is to order what udon soup you'd like, what size, and if you want all the complimentary toppings (tempura flakes, green onions) or want to add any (spice ball, egg, etc). Then the tempura sides are self serve and they charge you at the end. -Beef, regular ($11.65): I'm actually not a big fan of the meat bc it's sweeter than I would like. I would just get the regular Kake next time Tempura squid has a slight chew to it, and the shrimp is fresh tasting. Dipped in the warm tempura sauce is perf! - BK, large ($7.29): Simple and tasty. Chicken Tempura is nothin special imo. My only gripe is that at this time, they're slow to stock on their tempura. There was only one or two of the ones that I wanted: squid, shrimp, tamago, and chicken. There wasn't any croquettes left tho. There are signs that state to let them know if what we wanted isn't out, but they were so busy. read more

Stopped by on a weekend for early dinner. For those not familiar with Marugame Udon, its a Japanese chain with locations in Japan, hawaii other locations. Super popular in Honolulu. I love their concept. Its fresh made Udon Noodles. You pick your broth & toppings or select from their signature styles. Although noodles are not hand made, they are fresh made by machine then combined with the broth to serve. I tried the Curry Nikutama Sanuki style. It was delicious. Curry was mild, not bad at all. Fresh noodles, green onion and the boiled egg is the chefs kiss. Its walk-up counter with assembly line set up for personalization. No servers at table service. You order, pay and take your food. Like I said love the fast-and-fresh atomization. The Calamansi drink was delicious btw. Kind of random but yummy. read more

Quick and friendly service, just keep in mind when you add tempura extras, the costs add up fairly quick. read more

I previously reviewed the West LA location, which reminded me of udon shops in Kobe (Japan). The Torrance location has a different vibe, it a bit more sleek, but the servings are still very good. The udon continues to be the "good stuff," quality noodles with the right amount of chewiness. The kake udon broth complements the udon well, light and not overly salty. I highly recommend adding a scoop of the grated ginger. I've tried the curry udon, it was good but I prefer the lighter kake broth. The tempura is also quite good and surprisingly reasonable for what you get. The chicken tempura continues to be a star, dark meat that's tender and juicy. The shrimp has improved, there's more meat and a bit less batter. My parents are both from Japan and approve this meal. It's not the same as what you'll get in nearby Gardena, but it doesn't have to be. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This is probably the worst Marugame ive been to. Probably the dirtiest... We stopped by around 730 on a Sunday so maybe its a Sunday closing so they just wanted to get home. The lady who made our bowls was super friendly and nice. She was quick and we were out the line. However, the tables were absolutely disgusting and covered with liquid and food and our tray was probably NOT cleaned because we found egg whites when we didn't order eggs. Do I want to know how long the egg whites were sitting there? Probably not. There were a lot of staff working just literally standing in one spot and zoning out. Felt like they were getting ready to close for the day. The food itself was good, same as other locations. Parking is plenty. Located in a plaza. Nonetheless... Probably one of the dirtiest restaurant ive been to... NEVER again at this location. Really unsavory. read more

Marugame Udon - Katsu Bowl on a dirty tray with semi raw egg whites.... - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

INCREDIBLE! AMAZING!! Craving udon and invited some friends. It's a quick moving line: you tell the first person what you want and they start preparing it and move you down the line so you can pick toppings and then tempura or gyoza or katsu. SO COOL!!! I got the nikutama udon with shrimp tempura and lemme tell you..it was wonderful. A little sweet n savory with a good portion of quality beef and fat udon noodles. Even overnight they dont lose their quality and disintegrate. Everyone was very helpful. Its a smaller place but they have outside seating too and a place for extra sauces and to go containers, etc Im already thinking about when i can come back!! Well worth it!

Marugame Udon - Nikutama - Japanese Near Me - Torrance, California

Review #846 2025-018 Food Order: Nikitama (sanuki-style udon, sweet beef, soft boiled egg, umami-rich sauce) with Scallions & Tempura Flakes, Gekikara Fireball, Gyoza, Potato Croquette, Bok Choy, Sweet Potato, Calamansi-Ade Depending on entry point, Marugame Udon is either located in Harbor Regional Center (Village Ln.) or Village Del Amo (Hawthorne Blvd.), taking over Marie Callendar's spot. And I've been waiting to try them for ages ever since my foodie buddy Michelle W. reviewed the Sawtelle location, noting tech is used to executing a perfect bowl of udon. The restaurant was still in its soft opening days when I first ordered takeout: 03/21/24: The online order system menu differs from physical menu availability, & staff manning the phone doesn't take phone orders even with kiosk & online system issues, so I had to come in the restaurant to place my order at the register & waste extra time when I could be working. They use a Chipotle-style assembly line ordering format with a cubicle wall to pick-up takeout orders. I opted for the udon bowl to be packed separately so each ingredient retains its flavor & the egg unbroken. In addition to an exasperated order, I checked my bag at a red light & had to turn back for the missing fireball sauce, & noticed my refreshing calamansi-ade was more ice than drink but it was good & recommended. The noods were stuck together (extra time from driving back) & gummy (overcooked); the udon sauce was tepid & mild in flavor, not flavor packed as claimed; the beef was a little overcooked/dry if a bit bland; the croquette was nice & crisp, but needed to properly drain or blot off the excess oil; only the egg was a perfect soft boil so you get that yolk ooze to coat the noodles & beef when it's broken. Overall, it was a poor 1st experience/impression. I chalked it up the experience to soft opening blues & came back 1 year later. The online system works! I mostly repeated the same order & a large udon order; bok choy is no longer on the menu & added sweet potato. They're no Sanuki no Sato... Marugame's udon is decent for a takeout order, & the sauce/broth is alright. The large had more sweet beef but it looked to be the same amount of udon? I liked the crisp croquette & sweet potato, but it's a stretch for 1 small piece of root at $1.95 (especially when a whole potato is the same price or less) or for the other sides. Yikes! Nikitama's sweet beef was tender & not dry on the 2nd go. The menu offers a decent selection of udons with a couple of rice bowls, & a good selection of tempura & sides; however the online menu doesn't match their POS system (like bok choy being unavailable). Price points are fare for the mains, but feel like I'm being gouged for the tempura & sides ($2 for 1/2 egg?!). Or maybe I haven't focused on ramen dining that I'm out of touch? Takeout is a-ok. I believe Marugame Udon would a better dine-in experience than takeout... just not sure when I would return. Recommended: Nikitama, Gekikara Fireball (if you like a l'il heat, get this), Gyoza, Potato Croquette, Sweet Potato, Calamansi-Ade (ask for less ice or that's what you're most getting). read more

Marugame is a great addition to the Torrance casual food scene. It's in a convenient location on the corner of Hawthorne Blvd & Torrance Blvd (where the old Marie Callanders was) with plenty of free parking. You order at a cafeteria style line so you get to watch them make your bowl and pick what you want added, or left out LOL Then you move along and can pickup some sides and drinks before you checkout ant the end. The staff are very helpful if you're not sure what you want or how to order. But they are also quick and the line moves right along. The seating area is good sized and kept cleared & clean. There are also some tables outside if the weather is nice. I had the Tonkotsu Pork Broth & my Son the Curry Nikutama plus we both had some potato tempura yum :) Both bowls were delicious with rich flavorful broth and the noodles were cooked perfectly with just the right bite to them. We enjoyed our meals and plan to make this a regular spot. read more

It is the kind of soothing, hearty dish that tenderly closes out a great day. read more

First time here at Marugame Udon!! I kept seeing it advertised everywhere online and finally gave it a try! Customer Service (10/10) Lupe, Imani, manager, and chef were very sweet, smiley, kind, and friendly. They were all very well-knowledgeable about the food items when I had questions about it. Ambiance (10/10) The location is tucked in such a beautiful plaza. I love the exterior and the building. When you enter inside, it already feels like an experience and not just a place to eat. The murals were absolutely beautiful. I wasn't sure how to order, but the set-up was actually extremely cool and easy. Then, the tray is slided to you. They ask you what you want and then you can pick your sides. The process is very functional and easy. There are many tables you can sit at whether it's outside or inside if you are coming with a big group. Food (10/10) I ordered: * Regular Sized Tonkatsu Udon * Calamansi Drink * Potato Croquette * Cheesestick * Tempura Chicken The udon soup was creamy and delicious. The udon noodles weren't overly cooked and were freshly made. The texture was excellent. The eggs were golden and soft. The potato croquette was crispy and savory. The cheesestick had a nice pull and flavor. The tempura chicken had a nice size and crunch. I love the long chopsticks that made it easy to grab my noodles. There is a cool tempura sauce dispenser. The soup spoons were so cool. I only spent around $25 and gave a tip. For anyone thinking it's an unreasonably expensive, I actually thought it was very reasonable. I've gone to other Japanese establishments and even have paid for a regular sized Udon soup for $21 alone. This place is definitely on top of my udon places to eat. Next time, I will either try the Nikutama or Gyudon.. read more
