About Marugen Ramen
Founded in 1949 and established in 1969, Marugen Ramen is recognized for its signature dish, the aged soy sauce ramen known as
Nikuy Soba. Each bowl is crafted upon order, combining pork simmered in a rich broth with al dente homemade noodles. The dish is topped with yuzu pepper paste, green onions, and other traditional Japanese garnishes. Marugen Ramen's unique blend of three types of soy sauce distinguishes their Nikuy Soba from any other ramen available.
In addition to the Taiwanese Ramen, Marugen Ramen also offers popular variations such as
Ajitama Nikuy Soba and
Spicy Nikuy Soba. Customers can opt for a low-carb noodle option for an additional fee, and the menu includes a variety of healthy choices loaded with vegetables.
Side Menu Highlights
Marugen Ramen does not stop at ramen; it also boasts an impressive lineup of side dishes like
Marugen Gyoza,
Teppan Tamago Fried Rice, and delectable fried chicken. Their soft serve ice cream is a popular treat to conclude the meal. With spacious interiors that include counter seating, tables, and tatami areas, the dining experience is designed to accommodate everyone from solo diners to families with children.
