Maru Japanese Noodle Shop - Japanese restaurant in Tucson - 1370 N Silverbell Rd #180, USA

My official Review : Mary Japanese Noodle Shop Hello everyone, here it goes. So I came here twice so far. Let me tell you though my experience was okay at first and knew it was a bit there lacking from my first impression. Don’t get me wrong first time there wasn’t terrible it was just mediocre. So I thought hey try again it won’t do any harm . First off it’s not a place to really be catered to , you order at the front and have a seat while your food gets prepared which I usually don’t like but I let that slide. So yeah I went for a second time to hopefully get the better of the prior experience and hope for the best. Well to tell you, I’m very glad I did. I went and did my thing ordered and got my ramune and sat down. Just let me tell you though when I say down and had that first taste of that ramen I was in heaven. I immediately could tell it was made by a different cook. I mean it literally spoke and slapped my face in comparison from the bowl I had the first time, like this was made with love and a good technique, truly delicious. The last time I ate I didn’t even finish the broth but this time I ate it all , sipped that broth and was sad that it was over. I was incredibly pleased to the point I had to know who made my food. Her name was Amber, truly a sweet person and humble. Just know if she is working her magic back there you’re in for a good time. I highly recommend trying this place. I will definitely be back again. Thanks for the read.

Stumbled upon this place while driving home one day and it is my new favorite ramen/Japanese spot hands down! The place has a chill yet elegant vibe that makes you feel at home and the employees are all fantastic and seem to love what they do. I ordered some pork katsu curry ramen, potato croquettes, and one of their onigiri and let me just say my tatsebuds were in heaven! The ramen broth had a nice deep curry flavor with a little heat, the noodles were perfectly done, the egg was slightly sweet with a silky finish but the star of the show was the pork cutlet. With a level crispness I've only dreamt of I would highly recommend this dish 10/10 The potato croquettes had me on the verge of tears with how amazing the flavor was. They havr the same crisp exterior as the pork cutlet but with the most delicate potato mixture I've ever experienced, I would also highly recommend! Lastly the onigiri was hands down the best I've ever had 🙌 It had a whole egg, kimchi, and I'm not sure if it was beef or pork but my goodness it is sensational! Once again thank you to this place for the great experience, can't wait until my next visit! 🤙

I visit this noodle shop regularly. The food is always full of flavor. Good value and service! Will continue to come here for our favorite noodle dishes.

I'm so glad they've opened a midtown location. Amazing broth for Ramen, now with the high quality sashimi we remember of Yoshimatsu. It's already a popular place. Can get busy at dinner time, so plan ahead. Chirashi is excellent.

Walked in off the street and treated like an old friend!!! The manager asked if I liked spicy, i grinned from ear to ear and he said bet! He brought it and brought it good and delicious!!!!

The food here was great! Well seasoned hot and exactly what I was wanting. Huge portions so you will be leaving full. I saw them offering take out that looked just as good as what we got by dining in. At the front counter they also have some Japanese snacks and drinks available. Pricing was spot on in my opinion. Overall I would highly recommend them as a MUST EAT! for people asking for suggestions.

Honestly haven’t tried the food cuz when we walked in, nobody was telling us if we’re grabbing a table or someone has to assign us to the table so we just stood there for awhile until we figured we should sit down anywhere. No server was checking on us for like forever so I thought we need to stood on the line for the food order up, but apparently she had to come to me. There was 3 table that weren’t cleaned and there was no server to take care of them for like few mins, and one of them obviously left their food cuz they’re so unhappy with it. While I wait in line to the counter, the server brought curry rice to one of the table and I overheard a customer saying ‘this is not what they ordered and they’ve been waiting for their food for like an hour’. No music, no server or cook in the restaurant to take care of anyone, idk what their deal is but there was so many red flags 🚩 So we just left :/

Solid noodle bar for ramen and soba. Also had a spicy tuna roll which was decent. Broth was very flavorful.
