Changing my review because as I’ve gone back - I’m noticing the food isn’t that good - idk if quality has gone down or if I’ve just been trying other ramen places and now noticing this isn’t high quality. It taste like factory made that’s just being heated up and presented nicely - doesn’t taste fresh or homemade. I wouldn’t say it’s bad - but it’s not special and there’s lots of much better options around for ramen. The marafuku bites were really bad - taste like chicken salad with extra species inside a bun. And the Goyza taste like frozen you can get at the grocery store. There’s a lot of better Asian places around. Don’t waist your money here. The pros is the take out comes out in nice packaging and it’s fast
Prior review: Great ramen for take out. It comes very well packed. It’s a bit of a chain so know that. But overall it’s still great. The inside does get very loud and crowded so I find it better for take out

Went here with my partner and a couple of friends for a birthday celebration. Used Yelp to RSVP. Service was great. The food was delicious. Atmosphere festive. As someone who is gluten intolerant but not celiac I was taking a little chance. Brought extra digestives, ordered the gluten free noodles. And I was fine! So for anyone in similar boat as me, take your digestives - double them up and enjoy the ramen! We had a great experience.

Incredible service, very attentive and helpful wait staff! Fantastic food and a restaurant that somehow doesn't get too loud despite how busy it is.

STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES!!! This restaurant does not take major food allergies that could be life threatening seriously and employees there will lie or give you their best guess if they don’t know. You cannot trust anything they say.
We ate at Marufuku tonight to celebrate my son’s birthday. My daughter has a gluten allergy so I made the effort to call the restaurant earlier to ask if they have gluten free ramen. “Yes we have gluten free ramen” was the answer I got.
When we arrived I confirmed with a waitress that they have gluten free ramen. “We have gluten free noodles but everything else has gluten in it” was the response. Great; so not only was I lied to earlier, but the restaurant makes the effort of having cold plain gluten free noodles with absolutely nothing to eat them with. What’s the point?
When we asked what is gluten free we were told salad, edamame, and shishito peppers. When we asked if the plum salad dressing had gluten our waiter, to his credit, said he had to check. Not so much to his credit or the credit of the other staff, he came back and told us that it did not contain gluten.
The salad and shishito peppers arrived along with the sauce you use for the peppers. “Does this sauce have gluten in it?” We asked the person who brought the food. No was the answer. That was a lie. Another employee told us it does have gluten. We wouldn’t have ordered the dish if the main flavoring wasn’t edible for our daughter. So she was left with a plain plate of peppers and a salad. After eating a few bites of the salad she decided she should ask the manager, again, if the plum dressing had gluten in it. He had to check and told us that IT DID! The opposite of what we were told earlier.
She had to stop eating immediately, her belly is now swollen and she has to lie down for a few hours until the pain goes away.
Absolutely inexcusable lack of knowledge and a blatant willingness to lie or just guess when they don’t know the answer is putting customers in danger. If my daughter had a life threatening allergy there would be serious consequences for her and for the restaurant. You CANNOT trust anything this restaurant tells you and it is not worth risking it to eat there.

Popped into this place for a quick lunch and sat at the bar—they’ve got a super friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu and the Chicken Karaage as a “small bite”. I kind of ordered the chicken on a whim, but man was it tasty! I highly recommend both! Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for quality!

Totally wanted to be impressed. Noodles were delicious, not gonna lie. They were a great tenderness and consistency. The broth was a lot less oily than I was expecting for a Hakata/Fukuoka style tonkotsu. I'm still trying to get used to canned corn kernels in ramen. I know people dig it. I'm just not there yet. Attentive staff. Coming from Hawaii/Japan, Marufuku was just ok for us.

My wife wanted to try this place as she's a big fan of ramen. We both got a bowl of the Hakata Tonkotsu DX. But not before starting with a few appetizers, like their Marufuku bites and classic Takoyaki. The food was filling but I liked the appetizers more. I would try their curry next time. We tried their hot sake but it wasn't a favorite. We would try their cold ones next time. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Kept our water glasses full and made us feel welcome.

I have been to Marufuku multiple times and it has always been top tier ramen. The atmosphere is so welcoming the moment you walk in and the whole staff greets you. Brittany was such an amazing waitress and answered all our questions. The broth is so rich and the chasu has the best soy flavor around. Highly recommend for a date night or just a quick lunch.

I ordered takeout on doordash and had their Hakata Tonkotsu, which came with a rich pork broth, chashu, seasoned soft boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms, and bean sprouts. Everything tasted really good, the broth was thick and full of flavor. For me, the noodle texture was a too firm, but aside from that, everything else was great!
