This is an easy review Their food contains E621, better known as MSG which is not a particularly healthy thing to put in food. It’s a food enhancer which makes you want more. If you want at their chicken katsu or it will be contained in their sauces. Try to avoid it if you can and look at the effects as it’s not good/ Personally I avoid any restaurants with use it. I blacklist places that use it because it means I can’t trust them and need to check their ingredients. Wagamama by way of comparison do not use it. They do use it is their mistro soup only. That aside the environment of the restaurant is not bad. I find it too much like a canteen than a restarant. Similarto McDonalds. Also, everything here is fried. Nothing grilled but their noodles are made fresh so that’s a bonus. Shame they put so much emphasis on the noodles but not the sauce. I actually signed up to their club but I never want back after I found out they use msg. Shame really but I wouldn’t call this Japanese cuisine. It’s more western food in my opinion. Now the argument here is the tempura should be grilled but for a lot of Asian style foods I prefer steamed for allot of dishes like gyoza. Fried is not healtthy due to free radicals. Wagamaa steam theirs. Healtier and much better tasting. Why do I compare? The food is very similar but I prefer wagamama lot more . Better food, service and atmosphere. No MSG. Marugame take note.There are better places out there but I guess people put too much emphasis on trust. You need to check what you are eating. Some places like Leon are also very open about ingredients. When you order there is an entire section on their machines about ingredients and nutrition. They are very open. I’d like all eating places to do the same. marugame treat it like it's secret. I want to know what I am eating. Customers need to know what they are putting in their body. It's very easy to put this information on your machines when we order. You just choose not to. I had to ask a chef about E621 and even he did not know and had to look at the ingredeitns of the Chicken Katsu sauce. Not a place I can recommend so I never go there to eat.
