Bilingual menus make this restaurant accessible to English speakers as well as Japanese, and a variety of seating, from private rooms to the terrace outside, is available to suit different occasions.
3. Marugame Seimen
For those wanting some affordable but tasty udon and tempura, strut your way to Marugame Seimen at the Tokyo Dome City food court. For ¥400, you can now slurp pipping hot udon.

The udon at Marugame Seimen is made fresh every day, by the in-house noodle-making machine. On a chilly day, try curry udon; or on a sweltering and muggy summer day, the oroshi-shoyu udon with a hint of fresh lime should be your go-to. Accompany your udon with tempura, like ika-ten (squid tempura), satsumaimo-ten (sweet potato tempura), or even hanjuku tamago-ten (half-cooked egg tempura) with a gooey orange yolk.
