The concept behind Hakata Ton-ichi is simple: to make ramen an essential part of everyday dining by making it accessible and affordable for everyone. They want to change the notion that ramen is pricey and can only be eaten during special occasions (or after payday).
The star of their menu is, of course, their Hakata Ramen. They have four different types: Ton-ichi, Aka-Ichi, Black, and Miso-ichi Ramen. All of these can be served in three different sets namely Hakata King’s Set, Essential Ramen Set, or Ramen Don Set—which differ in the choice and number of side dishes included.

The Hakata King’s Set comes with your choice of ramen, Hakata Fried Rice, a choice between salad and sushi, side dish, mixed fruits, and iced tea. With how good (and big) it is, this meal will surely fill up not only your tummies but your souls as well.
Included in this Hakata King Set is their Ton-ichi Ramen made with Ton-ichi broth, oil, and chashu pork, topped with onion leeks, kikurage mushrooms, and egg. Its rich soup matches well with the noodles and toppings, while the tender chashu pork won’t disappoint as well. Add a bit of chili oil if you want that spicy kick!

On the side, you can order the classic Japanese dumpling Gyoza stuffed with a tasty ground pork filling. You can even upgrade it to Cheese Gyoza if you like!

Aside from ramen, Hakata Ton-ichi also takes pride in their rice meals.
Try their Gyudon: thinly sliced beef, onions, and mushrooms simmered in a sweet and savory sauce, served over a bowl of rice. If you love anything beef, you’ll definitely enjoy this dish.

Hakata Ton-ichi’s overall aesthetic is a combination of traditional and modern Japanese elements, thanks to a combination of wooden tables and chair; an open kitchen, where diners can watch as their ramen is prepared; walls plastered with different pop artworks; and a neon “Hakata” sign.
Not to mention, it’s very Instagrammable as well!
