Ramen Hakata is all about Ramen - the real Ramen!!! Not that crap in the plastic bag that is all dried up like a smokers old face, real ramen! They import the noodles from California which comes from a specialty supplier who knows what they are doing in their production - these are the authentic ramen noodles. The broth is something to talk to about - in Asia, there are millennium broths. These are broths that never disappear from fire and are constantly added to....leaving an element (like a Solera method of wine making). Ramen Hakata is new to Dallas and no such claim can be made, but they can claim a broth that is 12-18 hours in the making and added too in the traditional method!
Hakata is a district inside the city of Fukuoka, on the southern side of Hokaido. They have a tradition of making Ramen and that tradition is present here.

These are the actual ramen noodles. They are put into everything ordered and the broth blends with the noodles to create an authentic (and rare) experience. This is the real thing.
These are an innovation in house based on a traditional Takoyaki. Fresh octopus is used in these Japanese versions of hush puppies! Ponzu cream and salted mayo cream accompany with panko flakes. The unique element of this is the use of fresh Octopus and the flavor is present throughout!
TUNA TATAKI - Partially cooked tuna with ponzu sauce, onion, garlic flake and pepper. Very refreshing and the quality is not missed.
CHASHU BUN steamed buns, grilled pork belly,mayo, spicy korean BBQ sauce, iceburg and fresh mayo cream.
GYOZA - Pork dumplings with fish sauce.
NAGASAKI SEAFOOD RAMEN - Nagasaki vegetable ramen w/ shrimp, mussel, calamari - this is the monster! This is why we go back and back and back!!!!! This is what it is all about! The soup is a secret recipe based on the pork broth and we were unable to obtain any detailed knowledge...this is their identity and their speciality! If you ask them what is their creme de la creme....they will say everything....but this is the one secret, the one thing that is their paramount product....this is worth ordering over and over again! And we admit...we stopped here...we have not ventured passed this.
