  • My second time coming here since their grand opening so I believe its time to finally give me first review ! For dinner, I tried the black tonkatsu (around $12) and the tan tan men red spicy (around $14) and a side of katsudon with rice (around $5). Both with wavey ramen instead of straight Black Tonkatsu - This both came quite warm and I was expecting the wavey ramen to be abit thicker but it came in a thinner consistency than I am used to. The broth was definitely rich and there was not an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts which I am not a fan of seeing at the regular ramen joints nowaday. However, as I began eating this bowl.. I felt that the broth seemed to get a little too strong for my liking. Could not drink the soup after finishing the ramen unfortunately. The quality of the Cha siu was good but the 2 slices was not enough as it seemed that one of the slices seemed quite small so I guess I only got 1.5 slices of meat in this bowl. Tan Tan Men - I was hoping that this bowl of ramen would be more spicy or at least had a bit of a kick in the broth but it was not spicy whatsoever (I am actually sensitive to spiciness). I've tried desperately adding the red chili pepper powders served on the side ....but it didnt help relief my spicy cravings. The flavour of the ground beef had a hint of sweet marinade and well garnished garlic flavour which I enjoyed. Unfortunately I was hoping for abit more in this bowl of ramen as the price of this was quite steep. Again the thickness and heaviness of the broth was too overwhelming to allow drinking afterwards. I felt quite thirsty after this meal. Katsudon - There was a total of 4 bit sized slightly larger than popcorn chicken katsus ontop of a bed of rice garnished with scallions and kupie mayo (amazing). The ratio between protein and rice was roughly 1/5 so I ended up eating rice with the remaining overpowering leftover soup which was not something I was expecting but it was alright.....certainly not worth the price of $5.5. The katsu was nicely cooked where the outside was crispy and the inside was still moist which I appreciated. Conclusion- Hakata has all the ingredients to become a strong contender in a competitive ramen neighbourhood in North York but I felt that they did not offer enough for the price that they charge ($40 after tax and tips). It is a shame to see less and less ramen joints offering the egg without extra charge. Nonetheless, the store was clean and the service was good. I hope they are prepared for more competition as more and more ramen joints are appearing every month. I am looking forward to seeing Sansotei Ramen come in this neighbourhood as they offer competitive fair price and portions for their meals. Please note that they do not accept Amex :(
