Marugen Ramen's Signature Dishes

One of the highlights on the menu is the rich and flavorful Ajitama Nikusoba (seasoned soy sauce ramen with meat) that is made to order. Each bowl is prepared with a meticulously crafted broth of pork, combined with high-quality noodles that have a firm texture, and garnished with unique toppings such as yuzu pepper paste and green onions. The secret to the savory broth lies in a balanced blend of three types of soy sauce, which makes the Nikusoba a standout in the ramen scene. In addition to the classic, variations like Spicy Nikusoba and Ajitama Nikusoba have also gained popularity.

Notably, customers can choose to switch to a low-carb noodle option at an extra cost, adding to the appeal of Marugen Ramen's health-conscious menu that features many vegetable-rich dishes.

Popular Side Dishes and Dessert

The menu isn’t just limited to ramen; it also boasts a variety of side dishes that pair perfectly with the main courses. Favorites include Marugen Gyoza, Teppan Tamago Fried Rice, and delicious fried chicken, making them worthy accompaniments to a fulfilling meal. To round off the dining experience, the restaurant offers soft-serve ice cream, a treat that has quickly become a customer favorite.

The overall ambiance of Marugen Ramen is warm and inviting, featuring a spacious interior that includes counter seating, table seats, and traditional Japanese-style tatami seating. This makes it an ideal spot for everyone, from solo diners to families with children, ensuring a relaxing dining experience.
