Marugen Ramen — Restaurant in Zama

Marugen Ramen is a successful chain restaurant that is fitting for both the solo ramen eater as well as families/groups. There is lots of parking outside and lots of seating inside. They have booths and a smaller area where you can sit on the floor if you so choose. I got a more family friendly vibe because they serve soft serve ice cream here too 🍦

They have the standard ramen restaurant fare: utensils, spices, sauces, green tea, tissues, all at your sitting area.

I was impressed with their translation and ease of access for the menu. There was a QR code for everything.

I got their spicy tonkatsu ramen and it was very delicious! Exactly what I expected. The speed of the ramen being delivered was surprising. I had my bowl within two minutes. The energy of the staff was...

Good ramen for it’s price that is family friendly.

I wouldn’t say this places is mind blowing, but I like it and for its price and family friendly menu, it gets a four star.

I come here with my family one every two months or so. Usually if we are close by and we need to find a place where we can get a seat pretty quickly this place wins out.

They have a kids menu where it is pretty cheap. And they have a combos for lunch and I get the fried rice and ramen set.

I recommend it for families, but if you are a hard core ramen fan, this might not be the place for you. If you like good ramen with a family friendly vibe: this is the place for you.

Plus they give you coupons for next time and you can get stamps too. Makes it worth coming...

I like their nikusoba. It’s taste good and refreshing because it has some kind of yusu topping. It has a lot of garlic too which I like. A bit salty to my liking but overall it’s good. I ordered their chahan and its presentation was unique. Although the presentation was unique the taste was so-so. Been here twice and I always order their popular nikusoba. Their deserts are inexpensive but the taste was so-so. will definitely come back again...
