Marukame Udon - Honolulu

Best Asian/Japanese style food in Honolulu. Very and cheap and yummy

An absolute MUST in Waikiki. Don’t be deterred by the line (there usually is one), it moves fast and is well worth it. We dined twice while visiting, once on the advice of a kind stranger and got the Kake with an egg (amazing), and then again got the Ontama (also amazing). My partner is vegetarian and they have a vegan option which looks spicy (and I think they claim it is) but is honestly relatively mild and quite delicious. The noodles are the real star here anyways. I was good with a regular bowl, no need for the large though my partner can be a bigger eater and finished his large both times. Tempura is pretty good too but the squid had a bit of a weird texture and I much preferred the shrimp. One of the best (and most budget friendly) meals we had while here!

Amazing restaurant. The environment is so cozy and the food is amazingly flavorful

Quick service, excellent udon and tempura and friendly helpful staff. We always look forward to coming here for a quick bite, it’s worth the hassle of dealing with Waikiki if you’re in the mood for good udon.

It was the best Udon I've ever had. I prefered the Nikutama over the curry udon
