We arrived as a party of four on a Saturday evening, a public holiday to boot, and were only just able to be seated at the bar seats overlooking the kitchen. The line outside becoming a steady flow and rotating as diners finished and new ramen hunters sat down. There's a sign on the door that sets the expectation of a potential wait outside while seats become available. Ordering your ramen happens as soon as you enter so make sure you've taken a look at the menu before entering. There's several styles of ramen including salt or miso. For $11-$12, your bowl of broth is an affordable morsel of soul restoring food. Totemo oishii desu!

There's water and some condiments that you can self serve. Overall, the soup was rich but a bit too salty for my taste. The portion is not that great either as it only comes with half an egg and a sheet of nori. It was definitely a filling meal. After the meal, you can pay by bringing the bill to the counter. I saw some physical menus on the counter so if you don't want to order through the iPad, you can go up to the counter.

You order at your table on a iPad. I order the fire tonkotsu and holy crap the broth was so delicious. Silky, spicy, rich and everything in between. So good! The noodles were outstanding! Such good chew to them. We also had the chicken karaage and pork dumplings. They have a free pickled style seaweed condiment that I could have ate a bucket off haha. Seriously this place rocks!

Try the ever tasty Hakataya Ramen they said. And boy were they right. I went on my merry Yelp way…read morewith a fellow Brisbane Yelper Marianna S to experience what this newly opened shop had to offer. Marianna got the classic ramen and I got the char siu ramen (just has more meat in it) and for the $10 and $13 dollars we spent respectively, and what we received in return was nothing short of a taste sensation. The noodles so fresh, the soup in all its brothy goodness and the meat... that just melted away in our mouths. How? What? Where? Why? Wow. The ever so friendly and boisterous staff were friendly, courteous and very welcoming. They showed us the menu in their plain as day Japanese English to the best of their ability and opened their arms to shout that we were welcome and to please come in. COME IN! The shop itself is quite small but there is an outside seating area as well. I also ordered the Gyoza and it was both fresh, hot off the grill and ever so tasty. One thing about Hakataya, if you want another serve of noodles it's absolutely free on one condition. You must yell 'KAEDAMA' in order to get it as the staff laughed and told us. KAEDAMA I yelled and another fresh ramen noodle was on its way. They give you a little saucer of spicy preserved vegies to go with your soup (Marianna ate mine) as a side and did I mention they are so friendly? As Marianna pointed out 'they are actually talking to us! They don't talk at the other place!' (other place being the Hakataya across the road in Sunnybank Plaza owned by the same people). Super great and fresh tasting Ramen, easily the best Char Siu you will ever eat. KAEDAMA!

You're also able to get free extra noodles if you so wish. I would eat ramen here daily if it was viable

The curry karaage ramen was outstanding: a rich, flavorful curry broth with chicken that was perfectly seasoned and fried crisp. The only letdown was the curry fries, which weren't golden or crunchy and could have used more seasoning. Ordering is simple--you place your order at the kiosk and are seated as tables free up. The process is efficient, and the staff are consistently polite and helpful. This spot strikes the perfect balance: delicious ramen, generous portions, and affordable prices. A must-visit when in Brisbane!
