thoroughly impressed by the udon and tempura here. i hadn't heard of marukame udon before walking past it on vacation, and after seeing the line, i just had to try it. the queue moved much faster than i expected, only a short 15 minute wait! the udon noodles were bouncy and chewy, just like they should be, and the broth was clear, simple, and satisfying - the entire bowl was harmoniously flavourful! i will definitely be back, and highly recommend for anyone in the area.
nikutama udon: 9.5/10
