We visited Marugame Udon recently and it was our first time trying their food. We were already there at exactly 10am but there was no one to attend to us just because the whole staff started their meeting at that time. So we left and went somewhere to buy other stuff. When got back, 10mins after I think, there was only one girl at the cashier area, others are in the kitchen already. Although the girl was kind and courteous enough to guide us as to how to order and what's best to order. So we tried their sukiyaki ninja udon, pork samurai, tempura kakiage, tempura tamago and cheese sausage tempura. Both udon are big enough per serving. Taste was good, the noodles were perfectly cooked, but somehow, both it were not hot enough. Tempura tamago was good, as well as the cheese sausage tempura. The tempura kakiage was big, tastes good, but it was too oily. I am guessing that since they just opened the shop, those fried products need to be drained still. The ambience was good, very Japanese mood. I enjoyed that little self-service spot where you get to fix your own dipping sauce, condiments, toppings, utensils, water and whatever you may be asking from the waiters. Will we visit Marugame Udon again? Yes. But I hope they change that morning staff meeting to an earlier time, like 930 maybe? And also, I hope someone monitors that big exit door as some customers who are also not familiar yet with them, enters through that door. Two groups who entered that time was able to order ahead from those who were already there, so, that somehow needs to be addressed, to avoid future customer-conflicts. Other than that, everything was okay.
