#53 MARUGAME UDON & TEMPURA

There are so many japanese restaurants in Jakarta, but there's no one with udon as its specialty. Most of them got sushi as their specialty or even ramen which is so in the sky-high position until now. In Here it is, the first japanese restaurant with udon as its specialty, Marugame Udon & Tempura.

The first interesting stuff here, they got a self-service concept. You'll be able to pick your own Udon, then choose the tempura you want. Other than that, there's an open kitchen here, so that you can see the cooking process. They guarantee to serve you the best of the best. Every food that's not taken for 20 minutes will be thrown away. I think there's no more doubt about the freshness. All the food here's originated from Japan, but it's made to fit our Indonesian taste.

For the udon itself, Marugame got 8 choices, range from Kamaage Udon, Kake Udon, Zaru Udon, On Tama Udon, Tori Baitang Udon, Niku Udon, Beef Curry Udon,  to Mentai Kamatama Udon. If you wanna something cold, you should try Zaru Udon. For the hot one, my favorite is Mentai Kamatama Udon

Beef Curry Udon - IDR 50K

Mentai Kamatama Udon - IDR 50K

Niku Udon - IDR 45K 

So many people think that tempura is only the one that's made from shrimp. Actually, it's more than just a shrimp. Marugame got many kind of tempura to complete your udon experience. For me, the one that stands out is Broccoli Tempura. I've just never seen something like this before. It's a must-try!

For the price, I found it so reasonable and worth spending. It ranges from IDR 33k to IDR 85K. I also love the culture here. Each of us must get back the dishes to the cleaning corner after enjoy the meal. Yes, it's everything about self-service. Good food, good price, and good place just made it into a great dining experience. Have you tried this? Tell me what you think!
