Marugame Udon - Noodles & Tempura - Strand

Marugame Udon on the Strand brings the bustling energy of a Japanese noodle house right into central London. This popular pit stop has earned a solid reputation among office workers and theatre-goers alike for its fast, freshly made udon and tempura. With a Food Hygiene Rating of 5, it's a spot where you can tuck into a steaming bowl of thick, chewy noodles without a second thought.

The real draw here is the made-to-order udon, from the classic kake udon in a gentle soy broth to the richer, more robust curry udon. Pair your bowl with a piece of their famously light, crispy tempura — the prawn and vegetable options are consistently excellent. It's self-service, quick, and satisfying, making it ideal for a solo lunch or a pre-show bite. Order at the counter, grab a tray, and find a seat in the bright, modern dining area.
