    Freshly made udon can be found at Southcenter Mall at Marugame udon. This Japanese chain udon is well known for its sanuki udon, chewy strands of delicious freshly made noodles. Step up to the counter to order your bowl of udon, where it is prepared right in front of you. Add additional tempura or toppings as desired, and pay for your food before finding a spot at one of the many tables inside the spacious restaurant. I ordered the Shrimp BK and it came with two tempura shrimp on a portion of udon and broth.

    You can't really going wrong with a simple udon soup or any variation of it. I'm glad it's a standalone place adjacent to the mall, giving it ample interior dining space. You queue in a line as you enter the main door and order cafeteria style. Once you get your dish on a serving tray, you top it off yourself with green onions and tempura flakes to your liking. Then proceed to pick your accompanying sides before paying at the end and grabbing your own table. The tonkotsu broth paired well with the udon, with a solid pork chashu and soft boiled egg. Knocking off a star since the price for the tonkotsu felt steeper for what you get, especially for a fast casual setting. The simple kake udon is toddler-friendly and affordable for a regular size at $6.35. For the sides, the shrimp tempura is the way to go, while the tamago tempura and chicken katsu were bland without accompanying sauces. Don't sleep on their calamansi juice; surprised to see it offered, but not complaining.

    Located in the what is traditionally the northern entrance of Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, Marugame Udon has taken its place! A side store near the entrance, Marugame has quickly become a favorite of those visiting the mall to fuel up for their shopping trip, or the casual diner who wants something more hearty than what the Westfield Southcenter Mall Food Court can provide. When you enter, you are bombarded by the stunning open kitchen, ordering menu at eye-level, and food choices while you are orchestrated down the line when constructing your perfect meal at Marugame. Many affordable options are available for this very fast-casual, Japanese influenced restaurant. However, I'm hungry, so I pulled out my credit card, and started ordering. For me, I chose the Beef Udon, as well as the fried pork cutlet in curry sauce. Yummy! I also ordered a side of stewed veggies and a soda to complete my choices. The selections are far too many to count. But needless to say, the line can get long depending on time of day, weather and season you attend. I came in the late fall near Christmas, at night. So the line is long, and definitely got crowded. But most importantly, the meals are tasty, and the visuals are inviting you to eat and stay. Come to Marugame Udon. Check it out. You'll love it once, twice and every time!

    Really pleasantly surprised by this place, especially since it is attached to a mall! This is kind of a fast casual, self service sort of place where you order in front and find your own seat/grab water/utensils. They have different udons as well as some tempuras that you can grab and pay for at the cash register. We tried an udon and I was so pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the broth was. The udon itself was chewy and tasty and it was a great light lunch for us.

    I did a takeout - and BOY it was quick! Ive had Marukame many times in Japan during high school days and this definitely brought me back! Price is higher compared to Japan (very fair) but taste was exactly the same and I enjoyed every bite of it! I wish the they had like a to-go ginger option, but I assume I forgot to stop by and check the counter where they offer spices and utensils. Would also love for them to bring the Mentaiko udon like Japan! That's an all time favorite for most! Definitely coming back and trying others!

    Marugame Udon was introduced to me by a friend in LA when we visited. I didn't quite grasp the hype at the time but I've grown to appreciate it. Udon is fresh, fast-food style, and fairly affordable. Add-ons such as tempura can add up quickly, but aren't needed for a solid meal. Even if the line looks long, they're efficient and move quick. With the fast food style, there's not much service so be sure to bus your own table afterwards. Plenty of parking being the Southcenter Mall, and plenty of activities to do before or after. Lots of dessert, Round 1, and the entire mall is easily accessible. Washroom (restroom) available inside the restaurant not tied to the mall, which is nice.

    Coming here the 2nd time to this place and ordered the Cheese Katsu Udon with side of delicious tempuras of shrimp , Zucchini, mushroom and sweet potato pairs really well with my udon noodle bowl plus enjoyed a delicious beverage of calamansi mixed half and half with pineapple such a good taste in my mouth. Service was great. The place was packed earlier but things have started to get more cozy and less crowded which I prefer coming on days when it is less crowded anyway. Look forward to coming back here next time. ごちそうさまでした! またね

    We finally got to try this place and it did not disappoint. We came during lunch time and it wasn't too busy. They have a large dining area so there was plenty of seats and it wasn't too loud. Food wise, you order the bowl you want first and then tells them any add ons you want. Then you get to choose if you want any fried stuff. We decided to try a few. Since we don't come to this area often, we splurge a little and got more things and it adds up. 2 bowls + 3-4 fried items for $46. If you are just coming for the udon, the prices aren't too bad. We got: Nikutamaa : love the broth, but it can get sweet after a few bites. Egg was soft and nice. Meat was a little tough Creamy udon: broth was good, chasu was on the tough side. Udon was good. Tempura: we got egg, shrimp chicken and a katsu chicken. I was surprised at how juicy the katsu was. The egg one was probably the favorite among the tempura items but they were all pretty good We ate these a little too fast so we definitely felt the fullness really fast as well. Overall, a pretty good place for udon. Would come back if in the area.

    This was my first time at an udon restaurant and I ordered the kake broth with an egg. I LOVED the chewy noodle texture, the mild flavor of the broth, and the perfectly soft boiled egg. I tried a couple of the fried foods and the potato croquet was yummy, but I didn't like the breading on the chicken. I don't love fried meat in general and I wished that they had more non-fried, lean meat options to add to the ramen since I don't eat red meat, but aside from that I enjoyed this meal!

    Marugame always hits the spot. Every time. It's so good. The tonkotsu is amazing. Flavor is amazing. Service is so fast. Inside seating is plentiful.

    when i first had Marugame Udon in hawaii, i was OBSESSED. the noodles, the broth, the tempura everything was just mwah, perfect. it honestly became a must stop every time i visit. so when i saw Marugame Udon, i had to go... but it just didn't hit the same. i don't know if it was an off day or what, but i left kinda disappointed compared to what i remembered. definitely skip the tan tan udon that one was a miss for me. it just doesn't taste the same as it did at the hawaii location. the nikutama was okay, nothing crazy but still decent. i'd probably give it another shot another day to see if it was just inconsistent, because i know how good it can be.

    We stopped here to check this udon shop out. It's like a cafeteria style setup. You tell the m what you want. The noodles are all handmade. On a tray. They put the noodles with the broth you choose. And then you go down the line and pick what additional add ons you want for an additional price. It was a very tasty udon noodles. I absolutely didn't need any add one and just savor the yummy udon and soup. The udon was springy to the mouth. Very tasty and delicious Highly recommend this. Easy for a quick and go lunch. Especially when you are at the mall.

    Kake udon with tamagoyaki and imitation crab tempura
    Michelle L.

    One of the most affordable, but satisfying meals in the area! I ordered my usual Kake Udon and Tamagoyaki tempura. Also grabbed a giant Imitation Crab tempura which I haven't seen at my usual location in LA. They do allow you to request fresh tempura if the kind you want isn't ready, but be prepared to wait 5+ minutes if you choose to do so. As with other locations, the water and condiments were all self serve. Despite the lunch rush, we were able to find a table easily and the restaurant itself felt clean. The quality and taste of the food were great as well. I definitely walked out with a warm and full belly!

    Is this kids friendly place since they don't allow you to grab a table and sit down first? I have two toddlers and we just can't all stay in line to order and take the foods. My husband will need help getting the foods since I have to hold two kids.

    Yes they probably would let you if you have kids

    Do we know an opening date yet, information I was able to collect said maybe September?

I ordered a combination noodle dish, and although it included brisket, the meat was so chewy I could not bite through it and almost choked. I ended up having to pull it out and discard it. The thick homemade noodles were spongy and tasteless, and the soup itself had very little flavor. My wife's vermicelli dish, priced at $25, was okay, but it did not include the rice paper wraps that are commonly served at many Vietnamese restaurants. When I asked the woman, who I believe is the owner, whether the large drum in the back was used for making noodles, she confidently replied, "Of course, we only sell what we make." I can appreciate the effort of making noodles in-house, but I personally wish they used more traditional Vietnamese rice noodles and a richer broth made with real bone marrow. Instead, the thick noodles just felt off to me. After adding four egg rolls to the meal, our total came to $87, and unfortunately the overall experience did not feel worth the price. Between the bland soup, chewy brisket, and inconsistency with the vermicelli setup, I do not think I will be returning. I honestly hope they take inspiration from Pho My Chau and Hoang Lanh, which do a great job capturing a more traditional Vietnamese flavor and balance.

My's is best known for their banh mis, but they also serve pho, fresh rolls, and other Vietnamese dishes. I ordered the CHICKEN (#10) BANH MI ($8 and change plus tax and tip). The toasted baguette and pickled carrot and daikon were all fresh and crispy. However, I wished they put more vegetables inside. I also was disappointed by the chicken as it was shredded and not grilled. It tasted like canned chicken and was overall kind of bland. Had I known the chicken wasn't grilled, I would've gone with the grilled pork instead. Additionally, there was too much pate (which reminded me of melted salted butter, but gooier - almost like the texture of brie cheese) slathered on the sandwich and so I ended up scraping most of it off. Compared to Yeh Yeh's in Lynnwood, this banh mi unfortunately missed the mark for me (although it is convenient). With that said, I'd give them another try and try the grilled pork next instead with light pate. My mother tried the fresh rolls, and thought they were kind of small for the price. The peanut sauce was decent. I took my lunch to go, but the interior atmosphere is cozy. Service was decent too. Overall: 3/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3.5/5 for atmosphere
