It's definitely SUMMER and there's lots of fun foodie stuff happening in August!
The FIRST location of the infamous Marugame Udon from Japan is officially open at South Coast Plaza! If you've never heard of Marugame they're famous for their cafeteria style udon! Served up using fresh in-house made noodles with so many varieties of broth and proteins to try that there's something to please everyone! They also have an impressive row of tempura and misubis - also freshly made as you're going down the line. The best part? Most of the udon are around $10 and the sides are between $1-$2 so you won't be breaking the bank here! Marugame is located in the lower level of the former Sears wing in South Coast Plaza, near Casa Barilla. For more info or to peruse the menu check out their website: https://marugameudon.com/
