Marugame Monzo - Los Angeles

*Fresh Handmade Udon* Request to sit at the bar so you can watch them make the udon. It was fun to watch! Recommend: Sea Urchin Udon and Miso Carbonara Udon Long wait but it is worth it. Come early and put your name on the list.

Absolutely delicious! Every time I go, no matter the dish I choose the food is always spectacular! This place is worth the drive, time, and money.

Pretty good udon. Had the vegetarian option. Not amazing atmosphere to linger after food and drinks were alright

Food: 5 The food was all very delicious! The udon noodles were made and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed various udon bowls, including their white wine clam sauce, their duck broth, and their beef with fluffy egg. We also got their signature uni cream udon, which we liked it but not as much as we expected to. The uni is cooked so it has a milder flavor and firmer texture rather than the creamier texture you may have in sushi, and the cream sauce is decadent but quite heavy. We also enjoyed their karaage and assorted tempura which were both masterfully fried and delicious. Service: 5 We arrived at 11:30am on a Tuesday and waited about 15-20 minutes. You can put your name on a waitlist outside the restaurant, but you must have your whole party there and can’t wander away since they call your name manually. We had a very attentive and kind waiter! Atmosphere: 5 Great vibes overall. You can venture to the back of the restaurant to watch them prepare the food if you’re interested!

Great quality food at a good price point. Wait is usually 10-30 mins for two people. Will be back soon.
