Marugame Udon - Costa Mesa

Great service, friendly stuff, very clean and well organized place. Came during dinner time thinking it would be busy as the line was very long and wrapped around the corner. Only waited about 25-30 mins, not too bad! Tried this place for the first in Honolulu Hawaii and was craving it! Fresh udon and tempura. Loved how the tempura didn?t taste like old oil! Definitely a must try when in California if you?re craving udon. We got the curry nikutama, kake, nikutama, and a

Finally, I tried this place as I've seen long lines formed in front of this restaurant on Sunday. The line was long as usual and the wait was about 20 min. before we ordered and sat down. The noodle was the best I have ever tried, fresh and full to chew in mouth. However, the soupbase was a little salty for me. My family ordered Chicken Curry Katshu and it was also too salty. Other than that, everything was good.

This was my first time trying this restaurant and I liked it. This is a self-served restaurant. You order your food, pay for it, and find an empty table to sit down. I ordered a large bowl of udon and its portion was good. There wasn't a lot of people might be it was still early and it was a weekday. In conclusion, I like this restaurant and will come back.

Today there was an attempt on my life. Someone wanted to give me kidney stones or high blood pressure. The curry udon had a lot of salt where I was drinking a lot of water. My co-worker also agreed. I think they did not measure the correct amount. That said, the udon noodles were perfectly cooked. Customer Service was good. Not sure if I'll return, the meal left me a bit salty about it.

Loved it. I definitely blew it by putting my tempura on top of my bowl. I am a total novice. I got the sweet tofu with a tempura egg and shrimp- absolutely delicious. I topped my bowl with fresh green onion, tempura flakes, and ginger. Could be 5 stars but I have no baseline. What I do know is that I need to go home and learn about the proper way to eat noodles ???? ????
