Was immediately greeted by a very friendly server who spoke to me in Japanese, which always feels reassuring when I enter a Japanese restaurant, phew! Yay for authenticity! Kids had Hiroshi Ramen, (tonkotsu broth) and I had Yuzu Ramen (soy sauce chicken broth). We all really enjoyed the chashu, which was so tender and fatty! I really loved all the vegetables (lotus root, bok choy, bamboo shoots, etc) that accompanied it. The ramen noodles were the thinner kind, cooked al dente-very good! Side note: Also was impressed with the variety of drinks they had: Calpico, melon cream soda in a bottle, ramune, bottled Japanese beers,

This time we tried the Mizuna mustard greens salad and it would've been good but they accidentally overdressed it by a lot. So super sour and tart. But I could tell the mustard greens were super fresh. Perhaps ask for the dressing on the side if you decide to order.

Great soup ramen here, though I typically come for their Hong Kong cafe selections. They make the…read morebest iced lemon tea in the whole bay area, which actually tastes better than the ones in Hong Kong also. Perfect tea intensity and sweetness, plus the lemon has a unique citrusy flavor to it. Their Hong Kong milk tea is also great (can't beat the Hong Kong version but is authentic nonetheless). And we love their Ovaltine french toast - it's a must-try! They typically don't get too busy and bar and table seating are always available. Prices are also very reasonable. It's family run and we want to support them as much as we could, especially given the ramen chain just moved in next door in the same plaza.

So slow, in fact, I was ready to leave. I ended up staying because their croquettes ended up being delicious. Super crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside. I was in heaven and ate them all. After I finished my croquettes, I waited for my ramen. Took about 40 minutes for it to come out. By the time it came out, I was underwhelmed by the presentation. A lot of ramen places take pride in presentation but Fujiwara called it a day and sent it out. I was skeptical until I took my first bite. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very good and not heavily seasoned with salt. I enjoyed it. Will definitely come back.

I love how fast and simple Marugame is! Came here for a quick solo lunch and got the kake ramen…read morewhich was about a lunch size portion for a small. But don't underestimate it because it's still really filling. I picked the shrimp tempura and potato croquette which I put directly in my soup because I like when it absorbs the flavor of the soup but there's a container that you can get it on the side. I love the light, yet rich taste of the broth and the dipping sauce and spices you can get on the side to complement it. Overall my dish was under $12 which is a steal these days and I left full and happy!

I haven't been here in a few years. Maybe more. But earlier this week we were craving cold udon,…read morehaving come back from Hawaii, and did a Yelp search. Who knew they had it here . Ordered takeout since we were so tired after tennis. It was nice that they have a seperate door to pick up take out so while I waited on the curbside DD ran into pick up. Easy peasy. When we got home we immediately inhaled it. Loved how they separated the filling from the udon and packed the broth separately. Poached egg was creamy still and blended well with the beef and noodles. We came back again yesterday but wanted to actually dine in. There were no longer long lines from when we last dined in years ago. The line went smoothly and the lady was quick and efficient to take our orders and even gathered Hubs' take out rice bowl for later. The gal at the pick up windown was also proficient as her job and even telling me my clams and ginger udon had just ran out so she gave me a number for my table. The tempura station was always one of my favorites. They just ran out of imitation crab but we snagged the last shrimp tempura. Also got a sweet potato and my favorite, pumpkin . 4/5 crunchy not too oily and naturally sweet. No sauce needed We found a table right away which was wiped clean. DD was half way through her udon when mine barely arrived. After the first sip of broth, it quickly reminded me of why we haven't been back in so long. Warm soup vs piping hot. That's why. Fresh cooked clams and butter ginger melted into the broth was a nice change from the usual. The taste was great and flavorful. Clams were blanched nicely with a few unopened shells that I didn't eat. There was also a few with some sand inside which was expected for a fast foodie style place where clam is ordered. 3.5/5 The other downside from the overall dish for both of us was the over sprinkling of green onions. It left a literal bad taste in both our mouths. Clean restrooms. Overall, 3.5

The space was neat, simple, and we loved watching a big screen, showing the process of making yummy Korean sweets. They were very kind, and served us some items on the house as it was my special day! The food was also delicious. I ordered spicy beef soup, and it was very filling! Some other Korean places only have small amount of ingredients in it. Here, the bowl was filled with shredded beef and vegetables. My husband and my son ordered Bulgogi and Galbi, and both came sizzling on metal plates, ready to be eaten. We had enough left over to enjoy their food today. I am happy to find a new Korean place for us to come back again.

Before ordering, we asked if the wings could be made boneless since my dad doesn't eat chicken with bones. They told us yes, so we went ahead with that, but when the dish came out, only about 5 pieces were actually boneless. I wish they had clarified that beforehand, because I would've chosen a different dish. Flavor-wise, everything leaned much sweeter than expected. The galbi-jjim in particular was quite sweet, and even the kimchi had a noticeable sweetness that was more than I was used to at other Korean restaurants. Overall, I can see why people may like this place, but it just didn't quite hit for me.

So incredibly overpriced and disappointing. Their "premium" nigiri (10 pc for $75) was not premium at all. In fact, it was worse than basic/cheap nigiri you get elsewhere. All the pieces were tiny, half of them were chewy, and not at all what the menu said they were supposed to be. For instance, the "king salmon" was "sad" salmon and garnished with some kind of orange marmalade-bizarre and gross. I had to choke down the "Wagyu" nigiri because it was so chewy. I couldn't believe how bad it all was. I should have known the dinner was doomed after I ordered their "Crab amuse," which was three pieces ($18!!) of shredded IMITATION crab wrapped in the thinnest piece of tuna you've ever seen, then placed in a weird, sweet cream sauce. Even the miso soup (which I've never received with nigiri omakase, but ok) was barely room temperature and totally watered down. Sorry, Ukai. I have no idea how your reviews are so high, but you have no business operating as a "sushi" bistro or whatever you want to call yourself. Sigh.
