Cinta

Stepping into Marugame Udon & Tempura on Teuku Umar Street in Bali feels like a warm embrace from the past, a nostalgic journey back to the flavors of childhood. The moment you enter, the friendly and kind staff greet you with genuine smiles, making you feel right at home. It’s a bustling place, and while it can get a bit chaotic during peak hours, the abundance of tables ensures that you won’t have to wait long to savor the delicious offerings.

Last night, I found myself reminiscing as I indulged in their Spicy Tori Paitan, a dish that dances on your palate with its rich, authentic flavors. Each slurp of the thick, chewy udon noodles transports me back to family gatherings, where laughter and love were served alongside hearty meals. The mid-range prices make it accessible, and the free refills on drinks are a delightful bonus that adds to the experience.

During my visit, I noticed a family enjoying their Chicken Katsu Udon and Beef Udon, their faces lighting up with every bite. The atmosphere was filled with the sounds of contentment, as children giggled over their ice cream and pudding desserts. It reminded me of my own family outings, where food was not just sustenance but a way to bond and create memories.

One couple shared their joy of finding this gem after returning from Japan, where they missed the comforting taste of udon. The husband, unfamiliar with the differences between udon and ramen, was pleasantly surprised by the hearty noodles that filled his bowl. They appreciated the cozy ambiance, the spacious parking, and the thoughtful layout that accommodates both non-smoking and smoking areas. The unlimited refill of Ocha was a cherry on top, making their meal even more enjoyable.

While some may find the prices a bit steep for two dishes, the overwhelming consensus is that the service and food quality are exceptional. The reviews echo a sentiment of satisfaction, with many declaring it as the best service and food they’ve experienced. The flavors are not just good; they are awesome and excellent, leaving a lasting impression on every visitor.

As I reflect on my experience at Marugame Udon & Tempura, I realize that it’s more than just a restaurant; it’s a place where memories are made, where the essence of Japanese cuisine meets the warmth of family and friendship. Each dish is a reminder of the love that goes into cooking, and as I left, I felt a sense of gratitude for the moments shared and the flavors that lingered long after the meal was over. Marugame is not just a dining destination; it’s a heartfelt experience that touches the soul.

One visitor noted, “The service is fast, they prepare your order right away. Wide variety of side dishes and desserts. Clean and spacious dining area, nice staff, and great atmosphere. It’s a good place to go whether you are alone, couple, or together with family. Last but not least, the udon tasted great :)” This sentiment is echoed by many who appreciate the quick service and the variety of options available.

Another reviewer praised the restaurant’s thoughtful amenities, stating, “It does have a dedicated praying corner. I put 5 stars without hesitation for food, service and atmosphere because the foods are good, staffs are friendly, there is separated smoking area and sufficient parking. If I may add, it’s also easy to locate.” This highlights the restaurant’s commitment to providing a comfortable dining experience for all guests.

However, not all experiences have been flawless. One customer expressed dissatisfaction with the service, recounting an interaction with the chef that felt abrupt and dismissive. They mentioned, “Just earlier, I simply asked about the availability of a menu I couldn’t see displayed yet your chef responded rather abruptly, saying, ‘Wait for this customer first,’ while pointing at us, and did so a little loud in front of both of us.” While the food quality remains consistently excellent, this incident serves as a reminder that customer service is just as crucial as the culinary offerings.

Overall, Marugame Udon boasts a perfect score of 5.0/5.0 for food, service, and atmosphere. With a price range of Rp50,000-150,000 per person, it offers great value for a satisfying meal.
