Reviews for Marugame Udon in Costa Mesa, CA
Finally, I tried this place as I've seen long lines formed in front of this restaurant on Sunday. The line was long as usual and... the wait was about 20 min. before we ordered and sat down. The noodle was the best I have ever tried, fresh and full to chew inmouth. However, the soupbase was a little salty for me. My family ordered Chicken Curry Katshu and it was also too salty. Otherthan that, everything was good. Read more
This was my first time trying this restaurant and I liked it. This is a self-served restaurant. You order your food, pay for it,... and find an empty table to sit down. I ordered a large bowl of udon and its portion was good. There wasn't a lot of people mightbe it was still early and it was a weekday. In conclusion, I like this restaurant and will come back.

Today there was an attempt on my life. Someone wanted to give me kidney stones or high blood pressure. The curry udon had a lot... of salt where I was drinking a lot of water. My co-worker also agreed. I think they did not measure the correct amount. Thatsaid, the udon noodles were perfectly cooked. Customer Service was good. Not sure if I'll return, the meal left me a bit saltyabout it. Read more
Loved it. I definitely blew it by putting my tempura on top of my bowl. I am a total novice. I got the sweet tofu with a tempura... egg and shrimp- absolutely delicious. I topped my bowl with fresh green onion, tempura flakes, and ginger. Could be 5 stars butI have no baseline. What I do know is that I need to go home and learn about the proper way to eat noodles ???? ???? Read more
The location was extremely fast. When I went there today it was quite busy and there was a 5-10 minute waiting line. The curry... broth was extremely delicious and the tempura was crispy. The ginger berry oolong tea is unique and won't be of taste foreveryone, though I enjoyed it myself. The food was extremely good and filling. I will be coming back when I visit South CoastPlaza.

Feels like a hole in the wall place. Line was long, but the food is soooooo good. The line was long because of the quality of... food. Udon was so fresh. Staff was awesome taking care of everyone. There is sitting, but can be a challenge. Read more
The noodles were super fresh, the broth super tasty and sadly the young girl on the cash register super slow.. which meant the... delicious hot noodles went cold from when they were plated to when they were paid for. Hungry prospective patrons lined upoutiide, not because the restaurant was full - there were plenty of empty tables - but because they were stuck waiting for thecashier. We felt bad for the girl, she needed more training and should not have been working during peak hour. BUT still, thefood was really good, the tempura prawns and squid really fresh and delicious. Highly recommend, but be warned, you may wait ata time you don't expect to! Read more
Great service, friendly stuff, very clean and well organized place. Came during dinner time thinking it would be busy as the... line was very long and wrapped around the corner. Only waited about 25-30 mins, not too bad! Tried this place for the first inHonolulu Hawaii and was craving it! Fresh udon and tempura. Loved how the tempura didn?t taste like old oil! Definitely a musttry when in California if you?re craving udon. We got the curry nikutama, kake, nikutama, and a bunch of tempura to share! Read more
