I visited this restaurant again after remembering that the fried rice was too salty to eat last time. It has Hakata-style ramen for 630 yen, and the fact that PayPay can be used is convenient. The ramen was served in 2-3 minutes after ordering. It had a basic appearance. First, I tried it as it is. The soup was a light tonkotsu broth with a slight odor (personally, I associate it with Nagahama). The noodles also had a smell. It may not be suitable for everyone. I ordered an extra serving for 100 yen. You can show the PayPay screen from your seat to order it. The extra serving includes plenty of pickled vegetables, red ginger, pepper, and garlic. Including the extra serving, it costs 730 yen, so I think it's a good value for ramen these days. When you're hungry and want to eat something quickly, it might be a good choice.

I visited this restaurant for the first time in the area near Omori Station. It was well past lunchtime, so I decided to have a late lunch. The restaurant is located in an arcade shopping street. Inside, there are counter seats and box seats. The menu offers a variety of appetizers, which explains the abundance of box seats. I purchased a "Ramen and Fried Rice Set" from the ticket machine and handed it to the staff. Shortly after, the ramen and fried rice were served. The ramen was a standard Hakata ramen with a slightly strong saltiness. The fried rice was fluffy and quite to my liking. The set menu combinations are plentiful, making this restaurant a good value for money.

JR Oimori Station East Exit, a Hakata ramen shop in the arcade shopping street "Milpa". It's about a 5-minute walk from the station, and I visited around 8 p.m. There are 6 counter seats in the front and 4 table seats in the back. There were 3 customers before me. The ticket machine is immediately to the left, and the main menu consists of Hakata ramen in white, black, and red. They also offer other options such as house ramen, tsukemen, and set meals. Today, I ordered the basic Hakata ramen in white and a half fried rice set for 750 yen, and a highball for 300 yen. I sat at a spacious table seat. I handed the ticket to the Chinese staff and requested the noodles to be firm. While sipping on the highball, the Hakata ramen arrived first, followed by the half fried rice. First, the Hakata ramen: it looks like the typical cloudy Hakata ramen. The soup is a thick Hakata tonkotsu broth with a noticeable pork bone aroma, and it is quite fatty and salty. The noodles are very thin and straight, with a firm texture. The toppings include chashu, seaweed, green onions, garlic, pickled mustard greens, red pickled ginger, and sesame, adding a nice balance of flavors. The half fried rice is exactly what you would expect from a Chinese restaurant. It's a bit mushy, but it's satisfying and I ended up feeling quite full.

Today's lunch adventure took me to the area around Oimori Station. I exited from the central ticket gate of JR Oimori Station, walked straight ahead, descended one floor down the stairs on the left side of the east exit, and continued to the right. With the white signboard of Yamato Securities Oimori Station East Exit Building on my left, I passed through the gap between the buildings, crossed the traffic light, and after a short walk, I arrived at the Milpa shopping arcade in Oimori Ginza. I turned left into the arcade and walked a bit until I saw the restaurant I visited today, "Hakata Ramen Nagahamaya Oimori Branch," on my right. I entered the restaurant at 2:20 PM on a weekday. Inside, I checked the menu at the ticket machine on the left. The menu included various sets, ramen options, rice dishes, toppings, drinks, and snacks. Some of the popular items were the Hakata Ramen Set, Hakata Ramen, Hakata Chashu Ramen, Red Hakata Ramen, Black Hakata Ramen, and Tsukemen. They also offered rice bowls like the Mixed Meat Supreme Don and the Yarou Don with options like Umachahan and Kimchi Chahan. In addition, there were various side dishes, drinks, and toppings available. Overall, the menu was extensive with a wide range of choices to suit different preferences. The prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. It was a delightful dining experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Hakata ramen in the Oimori area.

It was forecasted to rain in the afternoon, but it started raining after 10 o'clock. Plus, there was an earthquake around 9 o'clock, making it a discouraging Sunday. I went for a walk in Omori today, or rather had some errands to run. It's been a while since I visited Omori, so I was wondering what to eat. I hesitated and went to the most popular shop in the area, but the door wouldn't open. The lights were on, but no one came out even though the staff noticed me, so I decided to move on. I thought about going to "Yudetaro" next, but it was closed. With more errands to run, I ended up visiting this place at the end of the shopping street. I ordered Hakata ramen from the ticket machine and asked for it to be cooked "normal." The light soup had a Hakata-like taste, and the thin noodles were definitely Hakata ramen. Oh, I forgot to order the wood ear mushrooms. It was a normal taste without any excitement, so I left the shop without getting an extra serving.

When I tried the ramen at Fukufuku in Matsudo, it was cheap but didn't quite have the authentic taste. The sauce was strong and salty, with a hint of pork bone flavor that was a bit faint. The noodles were firm, almost like they had been boiled too much. I'll have to go back to Fukufuku tomorrow to give it another try!

How are you all spending this afternoon? We offer ramen subscription service, hoping that this bowl will blend beautifully with you. Today's recommendation is the standard Hakata ramen with gyoza set for 800 yen. Sometimes there are no shortcuts on the ramen path, so why not try Kyushu ramen for a change? Thank you very much for your meal. Address: 1-29-6 Omorikita, Ota-ku, Tokyo, Ishiwatari Building 1F.

I ordered Hakata ramen with firm noodles. They used a cooking timer to boil the noodles, which is good, but I think they didn't consider the setting time for firmness. The noodles ended up being soft instead of firm. It might just be a one-time thing, but next time I'll order them firmer than I imagine.

Probably a chain ramen shop that I have seen somewhere before. It is located in front of where "Nihao" used to be. "Nihao" seems to have disappeared at some point. It was past lunchtime and there were only about 3 customers. They had 3 types of ramen - black, red, and white. I went with the safest option, white (regular tonkotsu ramen). You can choose the firmness of the noodles from 6 options - very firm, firm, medium-firm, regular, soft, very soft. Since it was my first time, I went with regular. I handed the food ticket to the energetic Chinese staff and waited for the ramen to be ready. It arrived fairly quickly. The appearance looked appetizing. Now, let's dig in. The noodles were the typical thin noodles for tonkotsu ramen, and there was oil floating on the surface of the soup. Toppings included seaweed, green onions, and one slice of chashu. The taste was not bad, but I felt like the tonkotsu flavor was a bit weak. Also, there were too few noodles, so I would need an extra serving. Considering the original price was cheap, the cost performance is overall average, I suppose.

Hakata Ramen for 600 yen at Omori Station is located in an area with many ramen shops, but there are frequent changes in establishments. Among them, there is a new shop called Nagahama-ya Omori (Omori, Ota-ku, Tokyo) that opened in February this year. Upon researching, it seems that "Nagahama-ya" has quite a few branches. I didn't know that. I tried their standard Hakata Ramen, with the noodles cooked to a firm texture. The service was a bit questionable, and the lack of a large pot simmering with pork bones in the store was noticeable. The menu structure seemed typical as well. I wonder if they are actually cooking it here? Despite requesting the noodles to be firm, they turned out quite soft. Maybe they weren't timing it properly. Well, it could be just a one-time thing, so I might try other branches as well. Thank you for the meal. - 2nd bowl / March 1, 2019

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen is 600 yen when ordered alone, but it is 750 yen when ordered as a set with half fried rice. Adding small dumplings (5 pieces) for 200 yen made it a three-item set for 950 yen. The ramen is not the typical thick and smelly soup that often comes with Hakata ramen, but has a good level of richness. The straight noodles have a great texture and flavor. You can choose the firmness of the noodles from various options, and I chose "firm," but they softened as I ate, so I recommend going one level firmer than your usual preference. The fried rice is fluffy and has a good amount of egg and pork, almost like a full portion rather than a half. The dumplings have a crispy skin and taste better than many dumpling specialty shops. It's rare to find a place where all three items - ramen, fried rice, and dumplings - are delicious. I will definitely come back again.

Around 1:00 PM, the restaurant was surprisingly empty. I ordered the ramen and fried rice set meal for 800 yen using the ticket system. When asked about the firmness of the noodles, I requested them to be cooked firm. It had been a while since I had eaten such thin noodles, as I have been eating medium-thick noodles more often recently. Being born in Kyushu, I was reminded of the local ramen and felt nostalgic. I thought that the thin noodles allowed the flavors to blend better. The fried rice was also delicious with a nice texture. There were various condiments on the table such as pickled vegetables, grated garlic, red pickled ginger, sesame seeds, vinegar, etc., which I found to be abundant and enjoyable for changing the flavors.

On this day, I had lunch in Omori. I arrived at this Hakata ramen shop. The location is a corner of Omori Ginza shopping street, about a 5-minute walk from JR Omori Station East Exit. This shop opened on February 24, 2019, in a space that used to be occupied by a restaurant called Teishoku Daruma. It seems to be a chain store with the main branches in Nagahama and Sasazuka. However, those branches are marked as "publication pending"! Teishoku Daruma had been trying hard while changing its business format, but it seems like it has finally closed down for real... There is a menu posted outside, so I first checked that. The main menu items are Hakata Ramen for 600 yen, Red Hakata Ramen for 680 yen, Black Hakata Ramen for 680 yen, Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen for 680 yen, and Tsukemen for 750 yen. They also have rice bowls and set meals, but they were not available when they first opened. I made my choice and purchased a ticket from the ticket machine on the left as soon as I entered. After double-checking all the menu items, I bought Red Hakata Ramen for 680 yen and handed it to the staff. You can choose the firmness of the noodles from options like 3 seconds for soft to 60 seconds for extra firm. I chose the 10-second firmness. I would like to try the soft noodles someday... Inside the shop, it was almost the same as when Teishoku Daruma was there, with a counter for 6 seats, 2 tables for 2 people, and 3 tables for 4 people. It was run by two men. There was no background music, but there was a TV. The noodles are cooked in 10 seconds, so it only took about a minute for my order to be served. The Red Hakata Ramen (10-second firmness) had a passionate red color on the surface, served in a bowl with a pig logo. The toppings included chashu, seaweed, green onions, and white sesame seeds. The chashu was a bit dry. The noodles were extremely thin straight noodles that are typical of Hakata ramen. Since I chose the firmness, they were perfectly al dente. However, with such thin noodles, there was quite a difference between the beginning and the end of eating. By the time I finished, they had softened to a medium firmness. The soup is made from whole pig heads, creating a thick and creamy tonkotsu broth. I couldn't detect any pork bone smell, probably because I ordered the spicy version called Red Hakata Ramen. The bright red soup was dominated by chili peppers and chili-based sauce. Even as a spice lover, I found it satisfying, so I think it would be considered very spicy for most people. It doesn't reach the level of the Polar Bear from Moko Tanmen Nakamoto, but it's close. I like it even spicier, so I added some chili oil from the table. There is also spicy pickled mustard greens and red pickled ginger on the table, which I enjoyed as well. All this for 680 yen. It's a decent value. They have five basic ramen options and a variety of toppings, as well as rice bowls, set meals, appetizers, and alcohol, so you might not get bored with their menu. I wonder if this new shop will last long? I hope it can stay open for at least a year. Thank you for the meal! (As of May 9, 2019, no points awarded)

The usual tonkotsu ramen + fried rice set for 890 yen. It's neither good nor bad, a bit cheaper would be nice, but it's still reasonable in this day and age. Thank you for the meal.

The white pork bone ramen with fried rice set is now 890 yen, it has increased in price but it somehow tastes better. The pickled mustard greens are very spicy so be prepared to sweat. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Hakata ramen with fried rice set for 800 yen. It's a bit salty here, but not bad. Thank you for the meal.

Tonkotsu ramen + half fried rice set for 750 yen. A bit salty but quick, cheap, and delicious. Thank you for the meal!

On Sunday night. It was dark at the entrance and the buttons for ordering were hard to see. I chose the regular ramen, but the button layout made it difficult to find the regular option. The TV was showing gourmet food, but the stream would sometimes stop and the sound would cut off due to poor signal. An alarm beeped and the ramen arrived. The flavor was strong, making me want to add some pickled ginger. I noticed that all the toppings had a strong flavor and looked discolored, possibly due to the soup being overcooked, which made it hard to enjoy the different flavor combinations. The lighting in the restaurant was dim, requiring me to strain my eyes to see. Additionally, I was disappointed that the prices were higher than at the nearby Aomono Yokocho location.

I recently came across the Hakata Ramen Nagahama restaurant in various places in Tokyo. I tried their default White Hakata Ramen near JR Oimachi Station. It was a pork bone ramen that wasn't too strong in flavor. They had various condiments like garlic for flavor customization. The taste may vary slightly depending on the location, but the Oimachi store was quite delicious. The char siu was tender and the noodles were thin, typical of tonkotsu ramen, and they mixed well with the soup. Thank you for the meal.

I had the impulse to eat Hakata ramen and came across this restaurant. I entered around 2 pm, but it was a big disappointment. The kitchen staff, a Chinese man, and the female staff in the hall were having fun, but the ramen was not delicious. It was at the level of cup ramen. I compromised too much in a fiercely competitive area.
