Food Quality

Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "Food is delicious and comforting. Staff are friendly. Oddly empty as Marugame Udon from other locations are usually packed but that only means a faster service."
• "Speedy, great value and a very calm, stylish and utilitarian dining room."
• "The portion of their udon and rice meals are quite large, a great value for your money."
• "Really good place. Staff were so nice and friendly. Very organized and quick."

Cons:

• "Pricey for a regular food joint. Good for occasional food trips as the food prices are slightly above the norm."
• "The menu is weird and offers breakfast items which are then swapped on collection."
• "The pork tonkotsu wasn’t the best, the pork was quite tough and the broth didn’t have much flavour."
• "We got pork tonkotsu, katsu curry, and chicken teriyaki (and some tempura!). It was all half price due to opening weekend."
