Marugame Monzo offers a Japanese atmosphere with udon, beer, and matcha dessert. This spot, located in front of Japan Town, serves exceptional vegetable udon and a creamy, buttery uni udon with perfectly chewy noodles, a must-try dish. While some find the udon creamy and lacking flavor, others enjoy the uni udon. The service is quick and friendly, with minimal wait times, though there can be a short wait at times. The chicken skins are an interesting appetizer, and the fried chicken skin is excellent. They also offer a selection of Japanese beers not found in many other places. The nabeyaki was fresh and healthy, though a bit salty, and the karaage was excessive and used regular mayonnaise. Overall, it's a decent spot to enjoy a meal, though the initial excitement may fade with subsequent visits.
