Marufuku is located inside Blok M area near Filosofi Kopi and Papaya Supermarket.

Gyu Karubi Ninniku IDR 92k
This dish was heavenly delicious! Tender meaty beef grilled nicely and seasoned with savory yet sweet sauce with pleasant aroma of garlic and onion, so addictive! If they serve it over bowl of fluffy Japanese rice, it could become an awesome donburi, just imagine when the tasty juice/ gravy soak into grains of rice. Oishi!

Ebi Tempura Roll IDR 50k
This sushi roll dish was satisfyingly yummy with nicely seasoned rice and delightful crunchy texture from the deep fried prawn.

Grilled Beef Curry IDR 75k
Egg was baked perfectly with runny egg yolk but it took us around 40 minutes to get this order served, was it worth the wait? Nayy! I’m gonna say no unfortunately. It wasn’t bad at all only it was way below my expectation, the beef was tasty and tender, only the curry was just okay and not memorable also rice was too mushy. So far Akane’s baked curry rice is still our top favorite.
Ahhhh we should have ordered the chirashi sushi don instead #instantRegret.

Overall Marufuku could be a nice place to visit for those who are looking for Japanese restaurant with wide variety of dishes and casual Japanese ambiance, also if you’re looking for Japanese restaurant for late lunch or early dinner since it opens all day long. Let’s Jajan!!
