Maruju — Restaurant in Iwakuni

So many great things to say about this place! I like their ramen, gyoza, yakiniku bowl, and yakisoba so far. Their yakiniku bowl is my favorite so far. I love it so much that I’ve ordered it four times in the last couple of months. I will be trying everything on their menu because it all sounds delicious and I’ve been really happy with the items I’ve had so far. It’s also nice when you want ramen and your family does not since they have some great options. It’s a very small place with only counter seating. The owners are super nice and friendly. They have English menus. Prices are very reasonable. They do takeout also. They charge a little bit for the containers, but I feel that is reasonable. Parking is available right in front, but might be challenging if you have a large vehicle. Also, there are not a lot of spots and it gets busy at certain times.

This is my number one place to visit. It used to be more secret. It was only a matter of time before everyone else soon figured out how good the food is. Owners are very kind and helpful.

Gyoza is incomparable to anything else... it is AMAZING. I always think I can eat the large set, but the medium set has plenty of food. Good value for your money. Parking nearby is numbered and reserved, so you may want to ask the owners. I usually park at 7 eleven, buy something from it and walk over. Self-serve cold green tea or water. Very clean...

Excellent Ramen at Ramen Marujuu! Mom & pop shop, very local, highest recommendation. In my opinion, much better than Rai Rai Tei - which seems to be the “most popular” / “most well-known.” Ramen Marujuu does not seat as many (bar seating for about 10), and is a little off the beaten path (past Kobutaya) - both probably contribute to this place being less well known.

The ramen is fantastic, the broth is amazing, and the couple that runs it are incredibly kind!

The fried rice is delicious! And the gyoza is also great! The meal options are very reasonably priced! Well worth your trip, highest recommendation.

To be of note,...
