Marugame Udon Expands in Southern California

On April 2, 2026, Marugame Udon, a renowned fast-casual Japanese restaurant, will unveil its latest location at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga, California. This grand opening is set to take place at 11 a.m., marking another significant milestone in the restaurant's mission to deliver authentic Japanese cuisine to the U.S. market.

Located at 12375 S Mainstreet, this new establishment will continue Marugame Udon's journey to serve handcrafted Sanuki-style udon noodles and fresh tempura to a diverse clientele. Victor Hisao Misawa, the CEO of Marugame Udon USA, expressed enthusiasm about the opening, emphasizing the restaurant's commitment to engaging the local community. He stated, "We're thrilled to open at Victoria Gardens and share the energy of our udon kitchen with the Rancho Cucamonga community. From the moment guests walk in, they can see, hear, and experience how each bowl is made fresh. It's that connection to the craft that defines Marugame Udon."

The culinary experience at the new Victoria Gardens location will be heavily centered around Marugame Udon’s open kitchen philosophy. Guests will have the opportunity to watch skilled chefs expertly prepare the udon noodles, from kneading the dough to cutting and boiling the noodles. This transparent culinary process aims to create an engaging atmosphere, allowing diners to truly appreciate the craftsmanship behind their meal. Upon entering, visitors will be led on a step-by-step culinary journey, starting from the selection of freshly made udon and tempura to customizing their bowl with a variety of garnishes.

The menu at the Victoria Gardens outlet will feature the restaurant's signature dishes—including kamaage udon, kake udon, and a rotating selection of tempura—offered throughout the day. Excitingly, the new location will introduce an exclusive menu item: Teppan Yaki Udon, which will be stir-fried with fresh vegetables and savory sauce, served hot on an iron plate. Upon opening, guests can choose from Plain and Vegetable Yaki Udon, while additional options, including Beef and Chicken Katsu Yaki Udon, are expected to be added soon.

To commemorate the grand opening, Marugame Udon is launching a Free T-Shirt Giveaway promotion. Diners who visit the restaurant three times will receive a complimentary Marugame Udon T-shirt, while supplies last. This promotional initiative aims to build excitement and encourage local patrons to experience the newly opened restaurant.

Choosing Victoria Gardens as the site for its new location was a strategic decision for Marugame Udon. The shopping center is known for high foot traffic and serves as a popular social hub within the Inland Empire. This makes it an ideal spot for attracting a diverse clientele and continuing Marugame Udon's growth trajectory in Southern California.

This opening at Victoria Gardens will mark Marugame Udon's 22nd U.S. location. The restaurant prides itself on its dedication to providing authentic Japanese dining experiences without compromising on quality.
