    Nikutama udon, tempura
    Jing M.

    Came for lunch on a Sunday just as they opened. It got busy fairly quick. Menu is not big but enough variety. You pick the style of Udon you want and they make it fresh right in front of you really fast. Once you get your order, they have a variety of tempura items you can get à la carte. I got the Nikutama and my daughter got the beef tomatama curry. Even though we got the regular sized bowls, we were glad we didn't get the large since we also got some tempura, and was a lot of food. We both had some leftover to take home. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. And the place was also very clean.

    Marugame Udon is popping up everywhere which is great. I do enjoy their freshly made udon plus quality toppings and tasty appetizers. I was in the Chino Hills neighborhood. I saw them and had to pay them a visit. It's located in the Rolling Ridge Plaza. Self-ordering kiosk is towards the back on the left side. If you're dining in, you'll want to walk to the right upon entry to place your order. Good and comfortable interior dining space. Condiments and water station needed some attention and care unfortunately. I used the kiosk to order. Got two udon bowls (Nikutama Udon and Creamy Broth Udon), a few appetizers (sweet potato, pumpkin tempura, tamagoyaki tempura, potato croquette), and one calamansi drink. Everything was very fresh. Taste and flavors were on point. Appetizers were in good size. Well done! Since I did take-out, I didn't have any interactions with the staff. My order was placed at the pick-up shelf. The wait wasn't too long. One small observation, the packaging could have been better. I asked for utensils and they were all over the place in the bag as though they were just thrown in there. When you see the photo, you'll understand what I mean. I'm usually not picky about this stuff, but it would have been nice if the staff offered some attention and care when packaging. Hence, 4 stars! Will I be back? Sure I will be back. Perhaps dine-in is best next time.

    Bolognese Udon & Nikutama

    Went to Marugame Udon with a few friends and had to try this SoCal location since I love going to the one in SF. This was the closest one to us, and it definitely lived up to what I was expecting. I tried their new Bolognese udon, and it did not disappoint. It had a really rich, savory tomato flavor that paired surprisingly well with the chewy udon noodles. It's a little different from the usual udon dishes, but that's what made it stand out. I would definitely get it again, especially since udon is one of my favorite types of noodles. My friends got the Nikutama udon, which was also really good. You can tell the udon is freshly made, with that perfect chewy texture. We also grabbed some of their tempura sides, and they were crispy, light, and super satisfying. The workers were really nice, and the whole setup runs pretty smoothly even when it gets busy. The space itself is pretty spacious with lots of seating, so it's great for groups. It has a casual, lively feel with people coming in and out, grabbing trays, and building their meals, which adds to the overall experience.

    This is a Lunch Line style service where you get your tray and request your food that is made to order, and once you order you can select some tempura add ons, I appreciate the fact you can request freshly made tempura if you'd like. The food was flavorful and very reminiscent of my time in Japan. The sauce station could have used a bit more attention since it was pretty busy and picked over, but over all it was a great experience and the food was again very delicious ohh and affordable which we love! The tables were well spaced apart and the seats were comfortable. I liked that while you could bus your own table there was still staff coming around offering to pick up your trays and finished trays for you. I have been to one other Marugame and enjoyed my experience there as well.

    Nikutama and Creamy Broth Udon-Tonkotsu Style
    Arielle H.

    Excited to finally get to try Marugame Udon! They have a classic simple menu with seasonal dishes that rotate. Its mainly self service cafeteria style. The udon noodles were perfectly chewy and there's a lot in a regular sized portion. The flavor is there and the green onions and tempura flakes give it an extra crunch. My only con is I wish the soup was hotter. A big star of the show is the tempura! There are many options of different vegetables and meats freshly fried. Its crunchy, its good, its amazing. Don't skip it!

    #5 creamy broth udon
    Ellen M.

    Pros: Good location with ample parking Lots of staff to help you guide your selections as you go down the line Lots of variety in their menu and you can customize as you wish They make their own noodles Cons: Ordering can be confusing hate getting nickeled and dimed to death arrived just when their promotional table was packing up, but she still would not let us play; we were there about 2 minutes before it ended broth lacked flavor Pro tip: Make sure you ask that your broth and noodles are HOT. The noodles are pre-cooked and hang around a while. They can be cold.

    We LOVE to come to this plaza as a pit stop on the way home. I like to grab some OMOMO matcha tea before heading home. This time we noticed that there was a brand new MARUGAME UDON that opened up right next door... NIKUTAMA UDON: 10/10 It was very Savory and featured simmered beef, onions and a soft-boiled egg. It was perfection in a bowl and the portions were big enough for 2 people to share with us what we did... SHRIMP TEMPURA: 10/10 It came out nice and hot. It also has a very nice and crispy texture in the outside while preserving the soft texture of the shrimp inside... SERVICE: It was mostly self service. You just have to get in line, tell them what you want to order and pay at the cashier towards the end of the line. Then, you just find an open table to sit at... My first time having Marugame Udon was in Hawaii and I always wished they would open up in California. Looks like my wish came true and I believe they are opening up more locations all over the country!!! KEEP ROCKN MARUGAME UDON!!!

    Got the kitsune which is my go to. The process is very easy: you go down the line telling the server which noodle broth you want, then grab the tempuras you want after. You pay and find seating. This location has more seating than the ones I've been to before. Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was good too, I was able to talk to my friends without it being too loud.

    Curry Nikutama with a soft egg. Really tasty!
    Amy K.

    We went again recently & I would give it a 4.5 stars. The noodles were nicely al dente & the broth was unctuous & flavorful as usual. The green onions & crispy tempura flakes all add to the texture & flavor. My dad & I both felt like the broth isn't hot enough. The dining room is kept at a pretty chilly temperature so by the time you pick your tempura sides, drinks & get down to the cashier, then grab utensils, napkins, dipping sauce before sitting down, the broth is almost luke warm. I like my noodle soups piping hot f steaming.

    Eel bento box and tempuras
    Chrissy R.

    Yummy, casual reasonably priced udon and bento box rice bowls, can also add tempura and other items à la carte. Freshly fried tempura available on request too. Got the eel bento box, and shrimp, and various veggie tempuras on the side. Box came w soup. Will be back!

    I came on a Sunday afternoon and they were packed but pretty fast and efficient. Inside was clean. The person in charge of the seating area made sure to clean quickly and helped bring our items to our table. They were having their 1 year anniversary and had limited edition items. I got their limited edition Mentai butter udon. It was pretty light in flavor compared to their other items but still good nonetheless.

    Marugame Udon is hands down the best hand made udon I've ever had. This is a new location that opened up in chino hills. The ambiance in this location is more squarish compared to deep and long one at the Costa Mesa location. The service is slower, but they have yet acknowledged and did a chant when I enter the restaurant. I ended up getting a kake udon regular with a soft boiled egg. I also added a crispy chicken cutlet at the end. I like how you can order, grab your food, and already sinking into my first bite in literally less than 2 mins. It's faster than fast food! The udon is soft, fresh, and chewy. The chicken cutlet crispy and juicy in the inside. This the definition of perfection. So good!

There's usually a wait during the dinner rush, but the food is absolutely worth it. Everything is consistently delicious & the quality keeps us coming back.

One of my favorite little traditions is starting the meal with their sake served in the wooden box. It makes it fun taking shots. If you're looking for fresh sushi, great Japanese dishes & a restaurant that's earned a loyal following for good reason, Ojiya is a must-try!

What stood out to me was the rice to fish ratio. The rice was small and the fish was generously thick, which made every bite super satisfying. I honestly can't remember having sushi quite like that before. The chefs are from Japan, so you can tell the food is authentic. We also ordered the teriyaki bowl. It was okay, but nothing special. The Chirashi bowl, on the other hand, was packed with fish and definitely worth the price. Overall, if you're a sushi lover, I'd highly recommend giving this place a try.

We were originally thinking about going to a barbecue place, but we changed our minds because we did not want our clothes to smell like smoke. Instead, we decided to try Sake2Me Chino, and I'm glad we did. when we arrived, the restaurant was already busy with the Friday dinner crowd, but the wait was not too bad. The atmosphere felt lively, but still comfortable enough to enjoy a meal. Even though it was a busy night, the staff handled everything well and made the seating process smooth. One thing I liked was the tablet ordering system at each table. It made ordering very easy because we could take our time looking through the menu and send in our orders without having to wait for a server every time. The system was simple to use, and it helped the meal move at a nice pace. The service was also very good. Multiple servers checked on us throughout the meal, brought out food, refilled drinks, and made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made the experience feel well organized even during a busy dinner rrush. The sushi was very fresh, and the portions were generous. The fish tasted clean and high quality, and the rice-to-fish ratio was nicely balanced. We also tried a variety of rolls and appetizers, and everything came out looking fresh and well prepared. Since the portions are pretty generous, I think it is a good idea to decide whether AYCE or à la carte is better depending on how hungry you are. If you want to try many different items, AYCE is a great option. If you only want a few favorites, à la carte may be enough. Overall, Sake2Me Chino was a great choice for a Friday night dinner. The food was fresh, the service was attentive, the ordering system was convenient, and the atmosphere was lively but comfortable. I would definitely come back again with family or friends.
