While this meant those of us in line to order would have to wait longer to be seated, it did not hinder the excitement of trying their much sought-after bowls of soup. Usually offered at Japanese or sushi restaurants, udon is a type of thick-cut wheat noodle, served in a mildly flavored broth with beef or chicken and vegetables. Unlike ramen and pho, which have largely taken over the dining scene, udon has not had its own rise to fame. Marugame Udon is looking to change that. Located next to McDonald’s in the Glendale Galleria food court, it’s only the third location in the Los Angeles area but among more than a 1,000 restaurants worldwide, mostly outside of the United States. Their quick service approach seems to be working; with customers lining up in droves at the Galleria. Marugame Udon serves its food cafeteria style, where patrons line up, pick up a tray and begin the ordering journey. When I finally visited, a staff member stood at the front of the line and called customers up when there was enough room to seat more. Despite the wait and its small dining area, the line moved more quickly than I expected. There were also enough signs around explaining the proper steps to make one’s way through the line, and friendly staff to further guide in the right direction.
