The dust hasn’t even settled yet after the widely popular udon-specialist debuted in Liverpool Street last month and Marugame Udon is already expanding. They're setting their sights on a second opening at The O2 in Greenwich on September 13 and will be bringing more of their signature fresh handmade udon noodles to the Icon Outlet inside the music and events venue. In the wise words of DJ Khaled: another one.
Site number two is going to be a beast. Spanning two floors, the 4500 sq. ft restaurant will have enough space for 150 covers including a stylish mezzanine for dining in and an open-style kitchen for lucky diners to catch a glimpse of each dish being made right in front of your eyes.
Menu favourites include Beef Nikutama (udon with beef and caramelised onions in a dashi broth with a poached onsen egg), Two Pork Tonkotsu (udon with char siu pork, spicy miso pork mince in a rich tonkotsu-style soup topped off with a soft-boiled egg) and for the udon purists out there the Kama Age (plain with kake-dashi broth) is the pure and simple way of eating.
Besides noodles, plenty of light, crispy snacks to accompany booze are available too. The signature chicken karaage, prawn tempura and a selection of veggie tempura all freshly battered and fried gloriously golden brown. The ideal place for pre-dinner shows.
