We popped in here before doing some grocery shopping. My son noted we HAVE to come back to get a sushi boat and the yellow tail rolls are his new favorite. He also noted that he normally doesn't like Brussel sprouts but the tempura sprouts were so good! Service was attentive and quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We went during lunchtime and the service was okay. When we were ready to order, we told someone that we were ready to order and they told us to wait for the person that was taking the order of another table. I guess there was only one person taking order. I got the samurai ramen $22 with Bok Choy add on ($1.50) and the pork bun ($7). The ramen was disappointing for the price. It wasn't very flavorful and the strip steak was pretty chewy. The Bok Choy add on was just one piece of Bok Choy... I don't know what I was expecting. I asked for the ramen to be spicy, but there was no spiciness to it. The pork bun was okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was spacious with plenty of parking since it is located at a shopping plaza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would not go back, as there are better restaurants that specialize in ramen. read more

We wanted to eat healthy and not make a big deal of it and so landed here. We had sushi and takoyaki balls which disappeared before they could be photographed. :-) both weee very good. The naruta ramen with chicken and spicy pork hit the spot. I also added some green onion, cabbage and had a very satisfying meal. The vegetable broth was the perfect base and made you want to savor it and also packed a little heat to let you know it was there but not enough to miss all the other flavors going on. The Hakata chicken ramen with spinach was a bit more Plain Jane but held its own and the next time my companion will add more to it. We arrived after the dinner crowd and the service was efficient. I will rethink the idea of ramen joint in a strip mall. This place was terrific and wish one was located in my neck of the woods. The degree of takeout orders waiting at its own table also spoke to its popularity and we were not alone as late arrival diners. read more

Came here for lunch and really liked it. Great sushi spot in the area! Service was friendly and quick. Portions are huge. We ordered a California roll for an app and regretted it because the bowls we got for our entrees were massive. I got the sashimi poke bowl. Sashimi was great and I loved the sauce in it. Husband got the pork chashu bowl and also loved it. Only wish we were able to finish! read more

So here's the deal we were just cruising the area, not really expecting much, and rolled up on Hakata around 8 PM, not knowing the kitchen closes at 9. We figured we'd get the usual end-of-night rush job. But NOPE this place? Total vibe. Vibe check? Passed. We were seated quickly, no side-eye for being last-minute stragglers, and the staff still brought that warm, welcoming energy. Now here's where they really earned my respect: the food didn't taste rushed. You know that "meh, they're just trying to close out" flavor some spots give late-night? Yeah, none of that here. The food came out hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. We sampled the goods: * Calamari? Crispy, not chewy. * Fried chicken? Juicy with the right crunch. * Pork buns? Soft, flavorful, and that sauce?? Yes, please. * Chicken potstickers? Solid. Could've eaten six more. * Chicken fried rice? A sleeper hit. Well-seasoned and portioned just right. Pricing? Not bad at all and for the portion sizes? Absolutely worth it. Parking? Open lot, easy breezy which is always a bonus. They didn't rush us, didn't make us feel like we were inconveniencing them, and they let people actually enjoy their meal. That alone makes me wanna come back. Final verdict: Hakata's got that late-night chill, full-flavor magic. I'll definitely be back, next time, maybe not so last minute. Or maybe exactly last minute, because they clearly handle it like pros. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Not bad for a strip mall but not perfect either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It wasn't that crowded, and there were empty tables, but for some reason, getting seated took longer than it should have. It also took quite a while for our server to take our order. She was good about refilling water glasses though. I got the salmon poke and enjoyed it. Salmon was fresh and there were a good amount of toppings. There's nothing worse than when the poke bowl is almost all rice. My date got the spicy tofu ramen and found it too spicy to eat much of it. There were A LOT of red pepper flakes in it. Order that one at your own risk. read more

This place is okay, the staff is nice. I specifically went there for the ramen, the pictures make it look so tasty. Sadly the ramen was extremely bland and lacked flavor. I also ordered the Kami salad which was surprisingly delicious even though it didn't look that way. read more

Haven't been to Hakata for a while. Although the potion has shrunk over the years, they generally manages to provide some decent food in this category. The health score is pretty good too--I tried to avoid places that score below 90. read more

Love this spot. The food is always good, from the sushi to the ramen. Delicious and consistent.

The food and service at Hakata is absolutely wonderful. I visited for lunch one day and ordered the Hakata Beef Ramen, Pork Gyoza, and Takoyaki Octopus Ball. I enjoyed everything except the octopus ball (I wasn't a fan of the flavor and texture, but that's just my personal palate). Overall, I had a very positive experience & will definitely visit again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Arrived after 8p and the place was still busy - good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Tonkotsu with the chasu- the spice level was ok - noodles a bit stiff, green onions were lonely. Mrs. U. got the Miso - the Ooo needed more mami - broth "was not very hot."- that will likely delay a return trip. The chicken was flour coated - chewy not crispy. Maybe they do better on the sushi. read more

Ordered two ramens, the Hakata Tonkatsu Black Ramen and Shaki Shiaki Ramen. Both had good flavor, but not spicy at all although it was labeled spicy. I also liked that there's an option to choose your noodle, I prefer thick udon noodles in my soups so I appreciate the option to swap out the ramen noodles. I also ordered the Spicy Cucumbers hoping it would be like the ones you get at Chinese restaurants but it wasn't. On me for sure, just want to warn you against getting it. Not worth $9 at all. Better off getting any other appetizer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall nice interior and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu was pretty large so lots of food options to choose from. read more

There menu has a lot of options as well as nicely sized portions. I had the Miso soup, and the Spicy Tuna on crispy rice and Shrimp Tempura Rolls. Both were very good options. The soup was larger than miso soups I have had elsewhere and I did feel like it filled me up before the rolls. The Spicy Tuna on crispy rice was my favorite. It was a nice mix of flavors with the right amount of spice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything came out quickly and the restaurant had a lot of setting with a very welcoming ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great place for a quick, good lunch. read more

I have been here twice now for lunch. They do sushi very well here. I've gotten different rolls and salmon sushi. It is all very fresh and tasty. The other day I decided to finally try one of their chicken ramens and it was just okay. The broth was lacking flavor and just tasted like a diluted chicken broth. There were chunks of chicken in the ramen that were also tasty and just pieces of chicken breasts. The toppings were spinach and fried onions. Just kind of boring dish over all. I think it's a hit or miss depending on what you are ordering. My coworkers have all enjoyed their meals here. read more

Ugh, the one/two star review, sad but true. Not sure why they changed everything, but today I had some sad ramen. Tasteless broth, crappy bland noodles and sad chashu (pork belly). The buns were tiny, with little meat and stale, when the bun breaks and doesn't bend - you know they are stale. Oh and how do you mess up fried rice, well Hakata found a way. If you run a Ramen Restaurant, I think it should be mandatory to visit Japan or at least watch Tampopo. We liked this place last year, but will not visit anymore. read more

We ordered the Samurai Ramen: Pork Broth.New York strip steak, bean sprouts, green onion, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms) & seasoned egg. It was phenomenal!! We also had the spring rolls, & my son had tiramisu for dessert (which I sampled). All were amazing! I can't wait to come back to try the sushi! We loved our experience here. read more

Dined in for lunch during weekday. As fas I could tell, no lunch specials. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean, roomy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Choices hot and cold ramen, rice bowls, poke, and sushi. Ramen good enough but nothing special. Broth adequate. Add ins fresh enough. Noodles good enough but probably not freshly made on site. Lot of customizability with many choices for addins for an extra charge. Sushi rolls above average. Tasty. Well priced. Generous size. Nice sweet sauce for shrimp tempura roll. Ginger slices a particular standout. Would definitely come again for the sushi, dine-in or takeout. And occasionally for ramen. read more

Delicious, flavorful ramen. Service was very fast and friendly. Really enjoyed my meal here.

Busy place . Waitress not very good helping . Ask for soft shell crab she say no and walk away . So weird . Then I saw on the menu have soft crab bun . I ordered that and a spicy ramen . Flavor is not strong enough , more like catering to American taste bud . Ramen portion a bit small but meat quantity is good . Broth is ok mildly spicy . The soft shell crab are small and tasty .overall it's decent food . read more

Ramen broth tasted pretty bland tbh. Nothing horrible just really meh. Kids tried the sushi (Cali rolls) and they seemed to like it.

Happy to see a ramen spot in Wayne. We tried the tonkatsu black ramen, which comes with a thin ramen noodle, pork, egg, black mushrooms, and green onion. We also tried the shiaki shiaki ramen, which comes with pork, egg, fried Brussel sprouts in a curry broth with thick wavy ramen. They were both good except that the egg was over cooked. They give a reasonable portion of pork unlike some places but it is also priced a little higher. I really like the combination of ingredients in the shiaki ramen but wish it came in a regular broth without curry. The kids did not like the chicken ramen. It would be better if they had a more authentic pork ramen option for kids as well. The kids meal has a combo option to add a couple pieces of chicken nuggets with fries. This was ok overall. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Service is also wonderful. They are very attentive and fast. Located in a shopping plaza with lots of shops and parking. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I'd been here seven years ago and wrote a review about how loud it was. I went today for lunch, and it still is loud, but the service was good and food very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Speaking of noise, there's a pretty loud beeping that goes on intermittently. A timer, perhaps. It sounds like you're eating next to a construction site and a lot of trucks are backing up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Restaurants do such much more takeout business than they did in 2018 that I can see why they wouldn't be too motivated to make changes. read more

*Indoor dining Review* We came here for a quick lunch during the weekend. Overall good experience. Restaurant: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 4.5 Parking: Free parking lot -Restaurant- The ambiance is pretty relaxed and comfortable, nice decors and booths are pretty clean. -Service- Staffs are pretty attentive, was able to answered all of our questions and provided good service overall. -Food- We ordered the following... -Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen (Good) -Spicy Umami Miso Ramen (Good) -Shrimp Shumai (Ok, not the best appetizer) Broth is tasty, temperature is perfect. However for the amount of sides and protein you get, it is a bit pricey compare to other Ramen restaurants in the City. Also if you want Shrimp Shumai, you're better off going to a Dim Sum restaurants, it did not taste as fresh. We did not order the Sushi to try. Overall if you're outside of the City, this is a good restaurant to go for Ramen. read more

I visited Hakata Ramen last Friday. I had been meaning to check it out since it was previously recommended by another ramen afficianado.

I came here for my birthday with my family and everything we ordered was delicious- and we ordered nearly all the appetizers to try as a table! lol. Everything was appetizing, well-cooked, and tasty. The sushi was some of the best shrimp tempura I've had. The ramen was delicious, well-balanced, and filling! It was even delicious heated up the next day. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was great. I loved the decor and it's a really nice find in Wayne. 10/10 would recommend as my new top ramen place. read more

This is a nice little ramen restaurant in a strip mall. We started with an order of pork buns. I was disappointed by these. There was almost no pork on them. It was mostly lettuce and cucumber. It got better from there though. We ordered a Hawaii Roll and Hakata Tonkotsu Black Ramen (hot). We also tried a couple pieces of our friends Golden Gift Roll. We really enjoyed the sushi. Both rolls were unique and very good. I'm not sure which I liked better. The ramen was also good. I've had better broth, but it was still good. Ours was spicy, but didn't burn your mouth. The ramen noodles were interesting. The thin ones were thinner than normal ramen and the thick ones were thicker than normal ramen. If you're looking for ramen or sushi, I would check this place out. read more

Came here for a late lunch on a weekend. The waitresses were very nice, answering all of our questions. We ordered the pork bun for appetizer. It was okay to me... my husband had the shiaki shiaki ramen. The soup taste very different from the traditional ramen soup. We ordered mild spicy and it was pretty hot... I had the yaki ramen (stir-fried). The flavor was good but just too salty with too much sauce in it. Overall, it was nice coming back to this place. read more
