Marugame Monzo - Los Angeles

Pretty good udon. Had the vegetarian option. Not amazing atmosphere to linger after food and drinks were alright

Great quality food at a good price point. Wait is usually 10-30 mins for two people. Will be back soon.

I recently dined at Marugame Monzo in Little Tokyo and was thoroughly impressed by their udon noodles. Cooked to perfection, the noodles had an ideal texture that complemented the rich broth exceptionally well. The ambiance of the restaurant adds to the experience, making it a delightful spot for udon enthusiasts. While the uni udon was a unique twist, I found the uni flavor to be somewhat subtle. I expected a more pronounced sea urchin taste, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. Additionally, the portions were on the smaller side. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall dining experience at Marugame Monzo was exceptional. The diverse menu, friendly staff, and the standout udon noodles make it a must-visit for anyone exploring in Little Tokyo.

*Fresh Handmade Udon* Request to sit at the bar so you can watch them make the udon. It was fun to watch! Recommend: Sea Urchin Udon and Miso Carbonara Udon Long wait but it is worth it. Come early and put your name on the list.

Absolutely delicious! Every time I go, no matter the dish I choose the food is always spectacular! This place is worth the drive, time, and money.
