About
Marugame Udon at Stonestown Galleria is operated by Toridoll Holdings, a publicly traded Japanese restaurant conglomerate founded by Takaya Awata in Kobe in 1990 that today runs more than 900 Marugame Udon restaurants across Japan and internationally. The fast-casual format faithfully replicates the Kobe-born concept: customers select fresh-cut, hot-rolled sanuki-style udon noodles at the counter, customizing with tempura items fried to order, seasonal rice dishes, and a full complement of Japanese condiments. The Stonestown location was among the first Bay Area Marugame outlets and remains a community destination for affordable, high-quality Japanese udon.
