New udon place near Pho Kim Long and TruVape. The first time I was here , my friend and I split the miso carbonara udon (their most popular dish) and takoyaki appetizer. While the takoyaki was delish , I wasn't a big fan of the miso carbonara udon at all. The broth was waaay too heavy and creamy. I didn't like the bacon on top either. This dish may be for some people , just not for me.
I decided to give Marugame another chance today since I've been having a really bad sore throat lately and I thought a bowl of hot soup and noodles would be the cure. I'm happy I tried out this place again because I liked the dish I ordered this time a lot more. I ordered the beef bukkake udon (I guess bukkake is that you pour your choice of either hot or chilled broth over cold noodles). I really love the broth in this one and the noodles were nice and thick as always. You can definitely taste that their noodles are handmade. I added a tempura soft boiled egg to mine and I highly recommend getting it as a side. I never had tempura egg before & it made my bowl much more satisfying. My friend had the hot dragon udon and I tried some of his -- it wasn't too intensely spicy. The spice definitely still added flavor to the udon.
Probably my only drawback would be that this place is more expensive than I would to pay for a bowl of noodles.. :( Cheapest bowl would be 7$ but that's just the broth and udon .. An actual meal would be around 12-15$+. Decently sized portions though and the food comes out quick. It hits the spot when you're craving something savory. Their customer service is excellent. If you don't know what to order , they're more than willing to help give recommendations or explain the menu more.
