It had been a while since I last visited Marugame Seimen, and the noodles were as delicious as I remembered - smooth and chewy! The prices are reasonable, which I appreciate. I usually add tempura as a topping, but this time I tried adding a soft-boiled egg and free tempura flakes. I may have piled the tempura flakes in the center of the bowl, making the photo confusing, haha. The fried eggplant and daikon radish with yuzu on top were refreshing for the summer. The cold pork slices had some solidified fat, but it wasn't a big issue. Honestly, the dish was so tasty that I can't remember much else. Limited edition menu items often feel a bit incomplete, with the simple regular menu being the best choice. This time, the slightly strong flavor bothered me a bit, but it might have been because I didn't mix it well with the grated daikon.

I went to my favorite Marugame Seimen after a long time! I went around 7 pm and there was a good number of customers, not too crowded. I ordered: - Spicy Kamatama Udon (large) 700 yen with onsen tamago - Pork Shabu Shabu Udon with grated daikon (medium) 740 yen - Chikuwa Tempura 140 yen - Squid Tempura 160 yen I love adding lots of green onions as toppings. I poured tempura sauce over the tempura and brought it to my seat to eat. For the Spicy Kamatama Udon, I added some soy sauce from the table and mixed it well with the mentaiko and green onions. The chewy texture of the udon is popular among women. Highly recommend! The new Pork Shabu Shabu Udon with grated daikon is delicious with eggplant and lemon. It's light and perfect for hot summer days. And of course, tempura is a must when eating udon! The only downside was that the size of the Chikuwa Tempura was smaller than before. But the taste was still great! I enjoyed my meal!

Marugame Seimen 2023.06.16 Today, I went to a restaurant that I don't usually visit because someone wanted to go there. It was my first time visiting Marugame Seimen in Obihiro, Hokkaido. They offer takeout options and are located along Route 38, across from the Subaru dealership. The exterior is a large one-story building, and the interior is spacious and welcoming for solo diners or families. I ordered the "Oni Oroshi Niku Bukkake" for 790 yen (tax included) with toppings of tempura squid and horse mackerel for 160 yen each (tax included). You order your udon noodles and choose your toppings before paying at the register. The nikudon was made fresh with the meat simmered on the spot, and the noodles had a slightly softer texture but paired well with the sweet meat sauce and broth. I will definitely come back here again. Marugame Seimen Obihiro Branch Takeout available - Opening hours: 11:00-22:00 (Last order 21:30) - Closed: No scheduled holidays

During my business trip, I had lunch as "bukkake (cold) for 390 yen & 2 tempura dishes for 300 yen". Spending my holiday alone on a business trip. Today's lunch was at the strongest udon chain in the country. Last week, I had already tried the rare Iyo-made noodles. To confirm the difference, I went to try it in person. To cut to the chase... I couldn't really tell the difference. The price was slightly higher at Marugame. However, they have a wider variety of free toppings here. The udon noodles at Marugame were a bit softer in texture. The tempura at both places left the same impression. My final thoughts after finishing the meal were... both were delicious (^_^;) It's quite difficult to compare and review.

This is my second visit to Marugame Seimen in Obihiro. I ordered kake udon, enoki mushroom tempura, chicken tempura, white fish tempura, and various other items. I also asked for the duck udon toppings to be separated. It was delicious, so next time I'll order the duck udon!

Chain restaurants are delicious, and the udon is so cheap! I wanted to eat meat udon, but I wanted to add toppings, so today I had bukkake udon, which is cheap and delicious. Plus, unlike Iyo-san, they offer unlimited green onions as a topping! This is irresistible for green onion lovers.

It was close to 2 o'clock and about 70% of the seats were taken. I had the Kake Udon (360 yen) with a bit more green onions, it had a consistent taste. The Vegetable Tempura (160 yen) was a bit over-fried, with a strong burnt taste overshadowing the vegetable flavor, which was disappointing. The Chikuwa Tempura (150 yen) was okay in terms of taste.

I visited Marugame Seimen Obihiro branch! It was a hot day so I chose the zaru soba. The price was very reasonable at 320 yen. They generously topped it with green onions and ginger. However, I noticed that the floor was a bit sticky. Maybe because they were frying tempura? The kitchen also looked a bit messy. I hope they can improve that. Anyway, let's dig in! The noodles were firm and smooth, just the way I like them. The length of the noodles surprised me, they were so long! Lots of ginger is definitely the way to go. It really gives you that summer feeling. Thanks for the meal!

I went to this restaurant with my usual partner for a quick dinner. We wanted something light to eat and decided to come here. We arrived around 6 PM and the place was a bit crowded. It's quite popular here. This was my second time at this restaurant, and I have been to Marugame in Mie Prefecture and Bali before. Wherever you go, the style and taste are the same, so it's reassuring. I always order the basic kamaage udon, along with squid tempura, fish cake with seaweed, and inari sushi, which comes to a total of 640 yen. It's super cheap. The atmosphere is not particularly relaxing or fancy, but it's tolerable. One thing I wish they would do is to have someone clean the tables right after the previous customers leave. Sometimes there are really dirty tables, which puts me off. There's nothing special about this place, but I appreciate the consistent taste and prices. I finished everything and will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

Recently, I visit this place about once a month. It's one of the few restaurants my 4th grade son wants to go to. The place is always bustling with customers! People of all ages and genders are enjoying their udon with smiles on their faces. Today, I had the egg and tempura udon set (udon with 2 side dishes) for 600 yen. It's fast, cheap, and delicious! The prices for their kamaage, kake, and bukkake udon are really reasonable. They also have a lot of limited-time offerings so you never get bored. Marugame Seimen has over 1700 stores in 36 countries and regions worldwide.

Marugame Seimen is the place I always feel like going to whenever I see their commercials. Today, I had a craving for udon, so I decided to visit. When I entered, I felt nervous about what to do. I looked at the staff and for some reason, I ordered the "Duck and Green Onion Udon for 690 yen". The kitchen seemed busy... The udon was served in a bowl, and I added some green onions and ginger. I started eating as it is, and it was delicious! Then, I added the green onions and ginger to change the flavor. It seems like ordering the large size would be good too! I'll try my best not to be nervous next time I order. Thank you for the meal.

◯ General Introduction This is the only Marugame Seimen along Route 38 in Obihiro. I wish there were more of them. ◯ Exterior and Parking The exterior of Marugame Seimen is the same at all locations, making it easy to spot. The parking lot is spacious. ◯ Interior and Seating There are counter seats and table seats. The counter seats are well designed. ◯ Ordering Process You order your main udon dish verbally, then slide over to the register to add side dishes before paying. This follows the Marugame style. ◯ Food Ordered I had the Marugame lunch set (kake udon set) for 500 yen. The kake udon (hot) is topped with plenty of broth, lots of green onions, and ginger and tenkasu as accents. I chose mentaiko onigiri and ebi tempura as side dishes. The lunch set allows you to choose two items from udon and side menu options. There is also an upgraded version of the lunch set available, so consider your budget and appetite. The lunch set was initially offered for a limited time, but due to its popularity, it seems to be continuing. I hope they keep it around for a long time. ◯ Drinks Self-serve water is available. ◯ Service and Discounts Install the Marugame Seimen app on your smartphone to use special coupons for discounts.

On weekends, this place might be less crowded compared to weekdays. It's a great ally for working people - cheap, fast, and delicious. The noodles are tasty with a nice texture. I ordered the Kama Tamago Udon and added some tempura for 550 yen. I sat at a vacant table and slurped up the delicious noodles with plenty of green onions and ginger. The broth was creamy and tasty with the egg. I finished it all. The portion size was just right for me, but men might prefer the larger size. If you add onigiri or inari sushi at this price, you can easily come back here multiple times.

Today's lunch was the last one of the year. I decided to eat at Marugame Seimen and kept it simple with kake udon. I topped it with seafood tempura inari, but it was just okay.

I went for lunch close to the end of the year and was surprised by how crowded it was! This place has sunken kotatsu seating, so it's baby-friendly. I ordered the crab omelette with sauce and duck and green onion udon. The green onions in the duck dish were nice and thick, but some pieces were a bit undercooked and tough. It seems like they cook everything in assembly line fashion, so it might be unavoidable. There was also a strong gamey taste in the duck, but without that, it would have been perfect. Thank you for the meal.

From Obihiro to Sapporo. Resisted the temptation of pork bowl and found a seat. Reliable taste.

Deep-fried Chikuwa (fish cake) for 390 yen, Isobe-age or Kaki-age (tempura) for 150 yen.

Curry udon large 580 yen with chikuwa, tempura, and inari.

It's good because it's fast and the portions are generous. However, it's a popular place so it's best to avoid it during peak hours. I'm from Kitami City, and this also applies to a similar restaurant called Iyo Seimen. The cold udon noodles are quite firm, possibly because they are inspired by Sanuki udon. This is the same as Iyo Seimen. The cold noodles might be too hard for elderly people. However, I like bukkake udon, and the dipping sauce is consistently delicious. One good thing about Marugame is that, unlike Iyo Seimen, they accept credit cards.
