About Marugen Ramen
Marugen Ramen is renowned for its signature Aged Soy Sauce Ramen “Niku Soba,” which features a rich pork broth simmered with pork meat in small pots for each order. The noodles are made in-house with a springy texture, complemented by Japanese-style toppings such as yuzu pepper grated radish and green onions. The broth’s distinctive flavor comes from a blend of three types of soy sauce, creating a unique taste found only at Marugen. Popular variations include the seasoned egg Niku Soba and spicy Niku Sob
The menu also offers a variety of ramen styles, including soy sauce pork bone, salt, and miso flavors, ensuring frequent visits from fans. Side dishes like Marugen Gyoza, sizzling egg fried rice, and delicious fried chicken are also customer favorites. The dessert soft-serve ice cream is a popular way to finish the meal.
