One of the best tonkotsu ramens, with super tender chashu.
-
The Hakata Ramen DX is one of the best bowls I've ever had — worth the long waitlist.
-
The broth was so creamy, all the meat really tender with a slightly sweet taste.
-
Got the tonkotsu with pork belly: the pork was flavorful, the spice level perfect, and the broth intoxicating.
-
I loved the spicy tantan men — a complex broth with just the right hint of chicken and spice.
-
Noodles and broth were perfection — rich and creamy, with a perfectly jammy whole egg.
-
If you like thinner noodles, this is the spot; amazing quality and service.
-
The vegan options are more than adequate — the spinach ramen is delicious.

Long line, but so worth the wait; the broth is super good.

Honestly, I've never had better ramen — the best in town.

Heads-up
Fast service, but several customers report feeling rushed to free up the table, even when the restaurant isn't full.
