• World’s biggest udon chain makes its UAE debut in Dubai.
  • Watch noodles made live at Marugame’s “Noodle Theater”.
  • Halal-certified menu tailored to UAE’s favorite comfort flavors.
  • Ten new locations planned across the UAE in five years.

If you think all noodles are created equal, Marugame Udon is here to noodle-slap that myth right off your taste buds. The world’s largest udon restaurant chain, with a cult following across 1,100+ locations globally, is making its grand UAE entrance—and trust us, this isn’t your average slurp stop.

First up, the vibe? Less fast food, more fast art. At Marugame, you’re not just ordering lunch—you’re stepping into what they call a Live Noodle Theater. Think chefs handcrafting udon dough in front of you like culinary magicians. It’s part performance, part tradition, all flavor.

Backed by big guns—Opal Food Concepts, Toridoll Holdings (the OG Marugame brain), and hospitality heavyweight West Zone Group—this launch isn’t just a one-off. They’re planning a 10-store udon takeover across the UAE over the next five years. That’s ten times the slurping, ten times the joy.

But it’s not all imported flair. Marugame’s debut menu has been spiced and stirred to suit local cravings. UAE-exclusive dishes like the Spicy Maze Udon and the Vegetarian Japanese Curry are setting the tone, while halal-friendly bites like the Chicken Katsu Curry Udon and Teriyaki Chicken Udon (kid-sized too!) seal the deal. Bonus: there’s a green chili condiment station for all those who like their bowls with a little fire.

Oh, and did we mention the price tag? It’s quality Japanese comfort food without the drama of a bill shock. Whether you’re a noodle purist or just dipping your chopsticks into Japanese cuisine for the first time, Marugame wants to make sure you feel like part of the family—with every warm, hearty bite.

So yeah, Marugame Udon isn’t just bringing the heat—it’s bringing the whole dang show. From Dubai’s foodies to curious tourists and families on the hunt for a quick but quality meal, this is the bowl everyone’s about to be obsessed with.

UAE, get your chopsticks ready, this is only the beginning.
