About

Marugame Udon is a casual, counter-serve Japanese eatery known for its fresh udon noodles and quick service. The spot is popular for its affordable and sizable portions, especially the vegan Tan Tan udon which features a spicy broth and soy protein.

Vegan tempura options exist but come with cross-contamination concerns due to shared oil use.
