Signature Dishes

Marugen Ramen’s standout dish is the “Aged Soy Sauce Ramen Meat Soba.” This dish features house-made, chewy noodles served in a rich pork broth, cooked with succulent pork on-demand. Topped with yuzu pepper, grated radish, and fresh green onions, this dish showcases a unique blend of three types of soy sauce that sets it apart from competitors. The incredible balance of flavors makes it a must-try at Marugen Ramen.

In addition to the meat soba, variations like the “Flavorful Egg Meat Soba” and “Spicy Meat Soba” have gained popularity among regular patrons. Diners can also opt for a 50% reduced-carb noodle option for an additional fee, catering to health-conscious customers. The diverse menu, abundant in vegetable options, further enhances its appeal, making it a frequent choice for families and individual diners alike.

Side Menu and Atmosphere

The dining experience is complemented by an array of popular side dishes, including “Marugen Gyoza,” “Iron Plate Egg Fried Rice,” and “Delicious Fried Chicken.” For dessert, guests can enjoy soft-serve ice cream, rounding out a fulfilling meal. The spacious and bright interior is designed to accommodate a variety of diners, featuring counter seating, tables, and tatami areas, ensuring that everyone—from solo diners to families—can relax and enjoy their meal.

It’s worth noting that while most locations offer ample parking, certain branches, including Kanamachi, Kawagoe, and several others, may have different seating arrangements or limited parking. Therefore, checking the specific store amenities beforehand is advised.
