San Francisco-born Marufuku Ramen has brought its popular bowls to the Pruneyard shopping center in Campbell.
The restaurant chain was launched in S.F.’s Japantown in 2010, then grew to include locations in Cupertino in 2023, as well as Oakland, Redwood City, Southern California, Texas and New York’s East Village. The most recent addition has been Las Vegas, in January of this year.
The restaurant’s Hakata-style Tonkotsu pork and Chicken Paitan bowls feature rich, opaque broths — 12 hours in the making — and thin artisanal noodles. The DX version of paitan comes with a large grilled chicken leg on a sizzling plate, and only 15 orders are available each day.
