| - This small restaurant serves good ramen for sure, but the way they make it is so different from what I usually like that I can't say that I'd pick them next time I want to eat ramen.
They are pretty faithful to Hakata style, which consists of thin noodles and rich, creamy tonkotsu broth. The noodles are indeed very thin, just for comparison the size was similar to spaghettini maybe? I personally prefer a thicker, chewier noodle. The broth had a great taste, but it was very heavy. At first, I was disappointed because there wasn't a lot of it in the bowl compared to what I'm used to from other ramen shops, but honestly I don't think I could have eaten more since it was so rich. Finally, the pork slices tasted good and were a generous size, but at least half of it must have been fat. Taking bites that were 100% pork fat wasn't great so I didn't even eat all of it.
The service was great and the place looks really nice and authentic. Not great for groups since it's really small, but definitely a place to try if you're a fan of ramen.
