I love a place that lets you customize your ramen pretty well and here you definitely can. Your noodle firmness, toppings and add ons, seasonings, etc. Black Garlic: Get! The regular tonkotsu is good too but this one is where the flavor is at. Just an amazingly flavorful broth combined with very firm noodles to give it that extra bite and mmmmm this just makes my day.

I used to frequent shin sen gumi regularly but the lines are always outrageous there. Hakata Ikkousha doesn't have lines, at least the times I've been and the ramen is just as good as sin sen gumi. My family and I love to frequent here because we know what to expect. I will say on my latest visit, the ambiance was not it. Why? Well, because while everything else was on par, the music selection was highly inappropriate for a restaurant. Tupac's unedited Hit 'em Up was playing loud as we sat and ate, i had my kids with me. Look, I'm by no means a snowflake and hyper-sensitive to profanity-laced music, but this was completely unexpected at a family-friendly restaurant. I still plan to eat here in the future, but I just wasn't feeling the vibes during the last visit.

We ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Yamadaya Ramen, and the Katsu Curry Bowl. The portions were beyond generous and the Katsu Curry Bowl was exceptionally large - would be great to share. Perfect amount of spice in the Tonkotsu; the broths for both were silky, light, but deep in flavor. Another Yelper gave a shout out to the Shrimp Temura roll and it was delicious. The gyoza was decent. Service was quick and focused, and the waitress was very pleasant.

I ordered the regular-sized salt ramen with the cha siu pork combo, and it was so delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles had a great chewy texture, and I especially love that the soup was served hot in temperature. After ordering, you're given a pager that buzzes when your food is ready for pickup. I do wish the food court had a water station, but it's easy enough to grab a bottled drink or iced tea from inside the market. After tax, my meal came out to just under $25, which felt like a reasonable price for a quick and satisfying meal.

The pork was very tender. Note that the soup can get salty by the end of your meal.

I ordered Tonkatsu Ramen and Yuzu pinacolada. The broth was so good and rich. There was just enough noodles in the bowl that it gave the perfect balance of the broth, egg, and noodles. Eventhough it was pretty hot outside, I still enjoyed the warmth the ramen brought. The Yuzu pinacolada is a treat in itself. It's rich and tasty! We live closeby and will definitely come back!

Seating is limited and it fills up quickly so we got there at 6pm on a Tuesday and secured a table with no problem. The selection of ramen is quite large and the staff is friendly. We all ordered the Garlic Bomb with Spicy Miso broth. They offer spice levels from 1-10. I got a spice level of 3 and could have gone 1-2 levels higher. The ramen does come with 1 chashu piece, so I ordered an extra 2 pieces and the boiled egg. It definitely is really tasty and worth waiting in line for.

Rakkan Ramen completely changed how I think about ramen…read more We first came here because I was craving ramen and wanted to try a place that specializes in it, and I'm so glad we did. Everything from the flavor to the experience just feels a step above. The (always-vegan) broth is rich and well-balanced, and you can really tell the focus is on quality. One thing I really appreciate is how accommodating they are with customizations. I usually ask for my ramen without nori (seaweed) and skip the egg, and they get it right every time. It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference not having to send anything back. The atmosphere is also a big plus. It's cozy and inviting, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a warm bowl of ramen. The first time we went it was pretty busy, but it still felt comfortable. The second time, we went earlier in the day and it was quieter, which made the experience even better. At this point, anytime I'm craving ramen, this is where we go. Consistently delicious, customizable, and a great overall vibe; definitely our go-to ramen spot now.

The noodles, meats, and other topics come separate from the broth which is my preference, otherwise they'd probably be soggy by the time I got to it. The broth was really good.

I also got their gyoza, fries, and sausage appetizer. It was okay. The fries weren't the best, the gyoza was a little dry, but the sausages were smokey. I'm looking forward to visiting in person to try their other options!

It was quiet and nobody else was in the spot when I went, but I was there at an off time. Everybody that works there is super nice. Lots of open seating in booths or tables. Looks like one room has singing or karaoke at night?! The Ramen I got totally hit the spot. I love garlic Ramen. There were a lot of great flavors and textures in the Ramen and I was able to adjust the spice level on the miso. I think I went with medium it was a good level, not spicy. The karage chicken was crispy on the side moist on the inside. Love the bite-size pieces. The gyozas were OK, but I kind of found the inside a little bit mushy which left the flavor a little bit flat. But the outside texture was great. Still, I would definitely go back and try other things and go for the ramen happy hour!
