the cheap and cheerful udon masters. don't expect the most amazing meal you have ever eaten if you are heading to marukame udon but what you can expect is a long queue that moves quickly, hearty food that will keep you going for long after you eat there, a cheap bite to eat (an uncommon commodity in waikiki), traditional japanese udon that are home made, and a tasty soup. i enjoyed my meal there with my mum and we both ordered different soups, mine was the curry udon and mum's was the beef udon. i preferred the beef udon with the delicious beef broth. i found the curry udon a bit heavy, certainly if you are eating a large one! there are also tempura options to pick up on your way to the final counter where you pay. i certainly think marukame is worth visiting while you are in waikiki though it should be considered as a fast-food option rather than a restaurant dining experience.
