It’s a great place to pick up a new LV purse then wait 3 hours for some udon and top it off with a $70 pizza

The udon is great for what it is but not worth that kind of wait; however, you may be interested to know Marugame recently opened a location up the street in Cupertino and so far at least it hasn't been nearly as busy, at least on weekdays.

  This may be a vast misinterpretation on my part, but I read the comment as a way to point out the absurdity, not highlight the quality of any of the three. I think a 3-hour wait is exaggerated, but I agree this quality of udon is definitely not something you should have to wait this long for. Not sure what $70 pizza refers to, but it's very believable you might pay that amount for a pizza. All after buying a new LV purse.

    Heh, that's fair. I read it as being something OP would be interested in getting if not for the hassle. FWIW here in the southbay it's already pretty easy to blow $30-40 on an average, not even amazing, large pizza.

      I wonder what anyone coming from other parts of the world thinks when they just arrive. How long does it take until they accept as normal this cost of living with respect to received mediocrity? Don't forget to tip that 20%! Other quality-of-life concerns aside like good weather, good tech opportunities abound, etc., from a food-pricing POV, it must seem like a bad deal to an outsider just coming in, or maybe they already know what they're signing up for when they decide to move and it's no big deal.

        And it's not like the waiters make significantly more. No, the majority of costs is the friggin' rent of the establishment.
