No frills udon but amazing quality and flavours. The line is usually long in the evening; however, it’s usually not too crazy before lunch time. We went to there thrice before lunch time and we got a spot immediately. They do have some veg options but not a lot. Would absolutely come back again in the future.

Don't cheat yourself,if you are close and hungry, stop in here. Udon is made fresh, is perfectly al dente and the flavors are fantastic. It's super efficient getting your order cafeteria style. I had the large Tan Tan bowl and shrimp and zucchini tempura along with an iced green tea Matcha. I left in pain unwilling to leave anything unfinished. Excellent value for the money too.

This to me is and always be the original Marugame Udon and tastes a little bit more special than the ones we have in the Bay Area. The line also tells the same story as each day lots of people wait on the sidewalk to get their own bowl of udon noodles.
You can’t go wrong with any option but the Nikutama is my favorite every time. All the tempura is tasty so grab a few that appeal to you. Prices here are also one of the benefits as it is all affordable.
Overall, it’s worth the troubles as the noodles are so chewy, the broth umami, and the add ins the right complement to the meal.

I’ve been here many years ago and come back to this original udon shop. Quality and taste is all still there and affordable. Delicious, fresh udon, and solid grab for a meal. Tempura as a side with the noodles, is nice too.

Amazing udon in the heart of Waikiki. This place is awesome, food is great and reasonably priced. Udon is made fresh right in front of you and the tempura is also made fresh. Don't be turned off by the line, it goes quick. Whenever I'm staying in the area I find myself here multiple times. Cost for 2 people including drinks was about $45, hard to beat in Waikiki. Do yourself a favor and make your way there!

Probably the longest line I’ve waited in while visiting Oahu, and definitely worth the wait. The most comforting meal you could enjoy on the island! I tried the curry udon and it was exactly what I wanted. I do wish, when the bowl was served, the food would be hotter. By the time we were seated, the soup was quite lukewarm which took away from the enjoyment. But a large bowl was more than enough for 2 people to enjoy! Would wait 45 min again for this popular spot!

The line is worth the wait. Simple, tasty, and affordable food in Honolulu! On a Saturday night, the line wrapped around the block. It was a 20 min wait, which for Waikiki and no reservations was excellent. Everyone was concerned about seating, which was unfounded.
Watching the noodles being made was an assurance of good quality. Lots of soup choices-spicy, sweet beef, soft boiled egg, etc. Our group tried 3 different soups.
Tempura voices were over the top! Katsu chicken was amazingly moist and the crab tempura was done perfectly.
Curry BBQ sauce was amazing, but the tempura sauce was only “all right”. There are free glasses of water as well as different sodas and traditional lime/lemon drinks.
Seating rotated quickly as we found a booth as soon as we received our food. They have staff bussing the tables as diners finished. I highly recommend the Udon here, it’s worth the wait😎

Line looks long but it moves pretty fast. Very good udon. The texture is perfectly bouncy and soft. Worth the wait! Love the self serve tempura!

Very busy place, get in when you can. No reservations, lines do get long. The line moves really fast. Extra seating out back. Fresh made noodles. Place is awesome.

The food was excellent! Easy to notice that this place is popular from the lines extending to the end of the block. Fortunately, everything moves extremely quickly inside the restaurant so the lines moves fast as well. You order as soon as you walk in, take whatever sides/drinks you want, pay and find a seat yourself. There is really no other service beyond this. One major drawback for me was that the restaurant did not have a restroom. And I did not see a hand sanitizer station either. Apart from that, the food was excellent and worth the wait in my opinion.
