This used to be my favorite ramen restaurants, However I recently experienced very bad service that left a terrible taste in my mouth from a very rude server and when I asked for a manager they told me he was out of town. I'm very disappointed my family and I used to love this place.

Go to ramen spot. They have a matcha IPA that is very hard to find elsewhere.

We had lunch here with my son, and we absolutely love ramen—having tried countless varieties over the years. This place is amazing, and the ramen deserves a solid 5+ rating!

They've decorated the place really nicely. The chicken ramen is so creamy that you can't even tell it is chicken. Usually, chicken broth isn't this good. The chicken karaage was crispy and juicy. The hakata ramen was so good, I'd say it was better than Hiro Nori. Give it a try!

Plus, they have Bruery and Harland on tap. A+

Overall a pleasant experience but some small points of frustration.

I visited during a fairly quiet time for an early dinner.

Some cons include the food being undercooked (noodles still cold and raw, broth tepid), and parking in the plaza being incredibly limited even at 5 pm.

Some pros include the staff being very sweet and considerate, and the decor being quite nice. Price was reasonable for upscale ramen.

It is possible the kitchen was not ready for someone to come so early for dinner service and that the food is not normally undercooked as I do not see other reviewers complaining about the issue.

Parking: Some parking is 15 min, 30 min, 2, or 5 hours . Read carefully for each spot.

Cute ramen shop. Nice outdoor or indoor seating with fun decor. Usually quite busy so aim for a reservation or be comfortable waiting a bit.

This is our go to ramen spot in our area. The spicy tantan men is my go to dish. My husband loves the hakata tonkotsu. So happy to have great ramen so close by. The service can definitely be lacking depending on who you get, they're not the friendliest. But the food is great so we continue to come back.

Only about four strips of thin sliced meat in my pho bowl but the broth was good.

The Karaage bowl was pretty bad. Never had chicken so tough and dry. My daughter could not bite a piece off and only ended up eating the rice.

Decent Ramen, but they got the spicy order mixed up. Very little meat. Chicken was dry.

The tonkotsu ramen was divine! It was so creamy and smooth. I really enjoyed the ramen at Marufuku. We had placed our name on the list and was waiting but found out we could sit at the bar instead of waiting which was better.

We went to Marufuku last Sunday after a movie at Spectrum. When we arrived, there were lots of empty tables, without cleaning yet. You can see broth and leftovers on the table.

The food was OK, we had ramen and fried chicken. I like the broth of their ramen. The service was not that good, 6 dishes for seven people, couldn't remember our orders and left our group out there without collecting the check, the most “amazing” part was, even after my friend asked for the waiters to come get a check, they still could leave us to wait there.

Would be my first time and last time to visit.
