A shop that competes with miso ramen in the midst of many tonkotsu ramen shops. They also have salt and soy sauce flavors. They don't have gyoza, but they have fried rice. Depending on the waves, there are times when you can enter without waiting, but a few minutes later there may be a line. If you time it right, you can easily get in. You purchase a ticket at the ticket machine at the entrance before entering, then hand it to the staff and they will guide you to your seat. The miso ramen has a stable taste and satisfying noodle texture. It comes with plenty of bamboo shoots. There are table seats and counter seats, and at the table seats, there were overseas tourists and several colleagues from a company having a lively conversation. The staff were also friendly.

While waiting for the Shinkansen, I visited this restaurant and ordered the miso ramen and half-fried rice set. The medium-thick noodles and delicious miso soup went really well together! Adding the garlic provided on the table made it even more delicious! The fried rice also had a lot of onions and was very tasty! Thank you for the meal!

This month I can't eat ramen! I have exceeded the self-set limit number of times haha. Let's try something different today and go for a plate of udon noodles! It's rare for me. I walked to Deitos which is only 5 minutes away. It's cloudy today so I managed to go back and forth without sweating too much! Is autumn almost here? Anyway, I paid for the large serving of plate udon using my electronic money aupay, and it cost ¥1,000. I only had to wait outside for about 2 minutes. No problem at all! I entered the restaurant and got the large serving. I hope it's delicious. If it's not, I'll cause a scene (just kidding). Today's dish... good! I could tell it was good just by taking a bite! The amount of soup was just right. If it was too much, it wouldn't be plate udon, right? I enjoyed eating a lot today. The vegetables were fresh and the noodles were chewy and delicious. It's been a while since I last visited, but there wasn't the lively older sister I used to see. There were more men today. I miss hearing women's voices these days. I'll come back again. Thank you for the meal!

I was debating whether to have ramen as my first meal back home during summer vacation, but everywhere was unusually crowded for lunch, so I ended up having Do-san-ko plate udon instead. It's irresistibly delicious with its rich flavor. It's a bit salty, but it's the kind of dish you crave every now and then.

I had dinner at JR Hakata Station and casually stopped by the Ramen Street on the second floor. I bought a ticket for 850 yen for miso ramen and was guided to a counter seat in front of the kitchen. It was around 8:30 pm on a weekday and there were only a few customers. I was intrigued by the name of the shop called Dosanko, as there are only a few places in Hakata where you can eat miso ramen. The waiting time was about 3 minutes, but I was bothered by the chatter of the kitchen staff. They were talking loudly about TV topics from the previous day, which was a bit of a downer even before eating. The miso ramen that came out was not like Sapporo-style miso ramen, but it was decently tasty.

I chose the Hakata-style plate udon and half-chan (no set menu), which is known for its soft noodles. The plate udon had a unique taste, like a soupless champon, with a perfect balance of saltiness and lard. The fried rice was also delicious, with lots of vegetables for a new eating experience. Both dishes were incredibly tasty. I heard that the miso ramen is their specialty, so I can't wait to go back and try more dishes, maybe even two types of noodles next time.

After a long time, I came back to Hakata. I used to go to the Nakasu Kawabata shopping street a lot when I lived here, and now Dosanko-san is at Hakata Station! I was torn between miso ramen, but decided to go with yakimeshi as a half order seemed incomplete. I enjoyed the reliable taste. The soulful stirring of the pot was hard to see, but the soul was definitely poured in. Thank you for the meal.

At "Hakata Kawabata Dosanko Hakata Deitos Store" on the 2nd floor of Hakata Mengai in Hakata Station Central Street, I had the "Hakata plate udon". Since the opening of the Tenjin Solaria Stage store about a year ago, the decline in the "cooking skills" of Hakata plate udon has been noticeable, and my visits to this store have decreased. In my previous review, after a long time, I enjoyed it and gave the cooking staff a passing grade. However, the cooking staff during my visit this time was a complete failure! As you can see from the photos, the vegetables were stir-fried too much, resulting in no crunch, and the vegetables released moisture when the noodles were cooked in the soup. Additionally, the finishing touch of sesame oil emulsification was lacking, leaving the bottom of the plate soggy with moisture. In one word, "not delicious!" The face of the cooking staff who made it very delicious last time (maybe the new store manager?) is firmly imprinted in my mind, but the face of the cooking staff who didn't make it tasty this time is also firmly imprinted... Thank you for the meal today! I'll come again! \(//∇//)\

"Hakata Saramen" at "Hakata Kawabata Dosanko Hakata Deitos Store" located on the 2nd floor of Hakata Dateos in Hakata Station Central Street. After the opening of the Solaria Stage store in Tenjin about a year ago, the decline in the cooking skills of Hakata Saramen has been noticeable, which made me hesitant to visit this store. However, today I visited for lunch after a long time. This time, the saltiness, the stir-frying of vegetables, the simmering of the soup, and the emulsification of sesame oil at the end were all up to par! I enjoyed it deliciously after a long time. However, the biggest drawback is that the taste can vary depending on the cooking person in charge, depending on the time of visit. Recently, just by looking at photos on other people's SNS, I can tell the quality of the dish. Overcooking the vegetables until they lose their crunch, the vegetables releasing too much moisture when simmered in the soup, and insufficient emulsification of sesame oil at the end, resulting in a watery bottom of the dish, are all signs of it not being delicious. It was very delicious this time, as you can tell just by looking at the photos. The impression of the staff has also changed drastically, and I wonder where the handsome guy, the tall guy (nicknames I've given them), and the store manager have gone? (//∇//) I have firmly memorized the face of the cooking person in charge this time, so I plan to visit regularly to check the taste. Thank you for the meal today! I'll be back again!

I visited a ramen restaurant on a weekday when I took a little trip. It was located in an area called Ramen Street, where many noodle shops gathered in Fukuoka. The place was popular among locals, business travelers, and tourists, with Shinshin having a long line, and Ikkosha having a moderate line, but other shops were not so crowded, making them a good choice. I ordered a plate of udon and half-fried rice, and I was surprised by how soft the noodles in the udon were. Although it was labeled as Hakata plate udon, I was expecting crispy noodles, so it caught me off guard. However, it was delicious! It resembled the thin udon used in grilled ramen from food stalls, but it still had the rich flavor of tonkotsu broth. On the table, there were condiments like shichimi, vinegar, soy sauce, sauce, and garlic, allowing for various flavor combinations, which was fun. The half-fried rice was more like fried rice than regular fried rice, but it had a gentle flavor that I enjoyed. Overall, I once again felt the depth of Hakata's cuisine. Thank you for the meal. I think I'll be hooked on Hakata plate udon for a while.

The plate udon is full of the savory flavors of pork bone and vegetables, which are soaked into the noodles making them delicious. However, the noodles are a bit too soft and mushy rather than chewy, which is a bit disappointing. Next time, I will try ordering them firm. The special salt butter ramen is my favorite among the ramen options at this restaurant. I recommend trying it with the garlic and pepper on the table for flavor variation! Order: - Plate Udon (¥850) - Special Salt Butter Ramen (¥850)

On the third day of GW3, to finish off a night of drinking, I went to Dosanko-san. Normally, I would have ramen, but this time I went for alcohol and plate udon! It was delicious. Plate udon is amazing! I've had plate udon a few times recently... it's so good! I ate and drank too much today, so I'll focus on working out for a while (laughs). See you again!

I often pass by "Dosanko" in Kawabata Shopping Street, but there is always a long line during lunch time and I never find a good time to go in. A branch opened in the basement of Solaria in Tenjin and there is always a huge queue there too. However, when I passed by the one in Hakata Station's Ramen Street on a business trip, there was no line – lucky me. It was my first time trying it out. I bought a ticket for the Special Miso Ramen for 850 yen, and then I asked, "How is it different from regular Miso Ramen?" – a bit silly of me, you usually ask that before buying the ticket, right? Apparently, it has minced meat in it. The noodles that came out had thick slices of chashu, plenty of green onions, and even bamboo shoots, with a hint of miso flavor but it seemed to be Tonkotsu-based. I liked the taste. It was quite rich, but I managed to drink a lot of the soup, which was not too thick and didn't make me thirsty later. I enjoyed it.

This is a shop located in Deitos right by Hakata Station, part of the Hakata Ramen Road. Since the tonkotsu shops were crowded, I decided to try this one. I ordered the special miso ramen with half fried rice set for 1150 yen. The fried rice was delicious. Thank you for the meal! ^_^

I finished work early, so I decided to have dinner around Hakata Station before heading home. I decided to visit Hakata Deitos, where I found a restaurant I had been wanting to try. It's a famous non-pork bone ramen and fried rice shop in Kawabata Shopping Street. It had been over 6 years since I last visited when I lived in Ehime. I arrived at the restaurant around 19:15, with about 3 people in line at the ticket machine. There seemed to be plenty of seats inside, so I joined the line. I bought my meal ticket at the machine and handed it to the staff. I ordered the ramen and half fried rice set with a seasoned egg. The staff informed me that I could choose miso, salt, or soy sauce for the ramen, and I chose miso. The restaurant had many customers at both the table and counter seats. I was seated at the counter and waited for my order. The miso ramen arrived in about 5 minutes, followed by the half fried rice. The miso ramen soup was delicious, with a mild and flavorful taste from the pork bone and chicken broth base. The noodles were medium-thin and curly, a rare find in Kyushu, and had a chewy texture. The chashu was slightly thin but tender and juicy. The seasoned egg had a rich, runny yolk. Other toppings included bamboo shoots, green onions, bean sprouts, onions, and more. The half fried rice was also delicious, with a light and fluffy texture and simple yet flavorful ingredients. It paired well with the miso ramen. I quickly finished my meal, understanding why the restaurant was so popular. It wasn't just because they offered unique miso and salt ramen in Kyushu, but because the food was genuinely delicious. I later found out that the special ramen had a richer flavor, so I regretted not trying it. Next time, I'll go for the special ramen and half fried rice set or the salt butter ramen. As a side note, I remembered watching the Fukuoka International Marathon while visiting a shop in Kawabata Shopping Street. I saw the lead group of 6 runners pass by around the 20km mark, with only Japanese runner Yuki Kawauchi among them. Despite running with an injury, he finished in 3rd place. It was impressive, and it made me proud of Fukuoka. The meal cost me 1220 yen, a bit pricey but worth every yen for the delicious food. I'll definitely come back again.

The famous restaurant "Hakata Kawabata Dosanko" has been known for its miso ramen for a long time and reigns in the Nakasu Kawabata shopping arcade. Despite their policy of not opening branch stores, they opened "Hakata Deitos" a few years ago and "Solaria Stage" last year. While their signature dish is miso ramen, their plate udon is also said to be delicious. With positive reviews from customers, it's natural to want to try it. However, the problem lies in the location of "Hakata Deitos." As a terminal facility directly connected to Hakata Station, it sees a high number of daily visitors, resulting in long lines. Despite the crowd, the reviewer found it relatively easy to get a table at the restaurant. The plate udon was served quickly and was generously portioned with plenty of vegetables. However, the broth was too watery for the reviewer's liking, lacking a crunchy texture in the vegetables. The seasoning was strong but slightly harsh, and the flavors felt one-dimensional. The reviewer ended up adding garlic for a more enjoyable experience. Overall, the reviewer felt that the miso ramen, the restaurant's signature dish, would have been a better choice. Personal rating on Tabelog: 3.1

The taste is a bit lacking in depth, but it's almost there! In my opinion, adding lots of garlic and vinegar made it refreshing and enjoyable (laughs). It might be just me, but there was a slight Fukuoka vibe, with a hint of greasiness, which made it fresh and delicious.

Once again, I had plate udon at Dossanko in Hakata Station. I stopped by for lunch before heading to Niigata this day. I wonder why fried noodles taste so delicious when soaked in soup like this? Lately, it feels like I haven't really experienced Fukuoka unless I eat plate udon.

Hakata Station Hakata Menkaido is a ramen shop inside the station where you can enjoy delicious and famous Hakata ramen. The shops along Hakata Menkaido were clearly divided into those with long lines and those without. As a tourist, I wanted to try the shops with long lines, but I was too hungry to wait so I went to a shop without a line. 1) There were too many bean sprouts in the ramen, making it hard to distinguish between the taste of the ramen and the bean sprouts. Some people may like it, while others may not. 2) The rice in the fried rice was unbelievably hard, almost like it was undercooked. I think it was definitely a mistake in cooking. It made me realize that there must be a reason why some shops have long lines while others do not. Overall, it was an interesting experience.

Recently, during the company's lunch break, I noticed that there were a lot of people and all the ramen shops on the street were crowded with long lines. I thought maybe I wouldn't go there anymore! But today, I happened to have some business in Hakata on a Saturday, so I decided to go around 11 o'clock! I chose "Kawabata Dosanko," a ramen shop with always cheerful and lively staff. It had been a while since I last visited! I ordered the special miso ramen in a large portion! Since it was right after opening, I thought I could get in on the first round. When my turn came at the ticket machine, the staff guided the previous customer and didn't come back! I use electronic money, so I couldn't place my order without the staff's assistance! I had to call out for help. Finally, I got my ticket and was guided to a table. The staff at this place is always cheerful and bright! And they seem to serve a lot of half-fried rice. A call came out for "6 customers waiting, 6 bowls of soy sauce ramen." The kitchen staff paused for a moment because everyone ordered soy sauce ramen at a miso-based ramen shop... that was surprising! While waiting for my ramen, the staff was standing right behind me! It felt uncomfortable to have someone so close to me. The ramen arrived! I took a picture, but the person behind me... well, it was a bit awkward. I finished taking the photo and started eating. Sprinkled some shichimi spice and dug in! As expected, I really like the miso ramen here. It's not as rich as Sapporo Dosanko, but it has a strong oiliness and hot miso flavor, which I think is the Kyushu style miso. I like it! The chashu is a bit dry, but I think it goes well with this miso ramen (´ε｀) There's plenty of menma in it, with a good thickness and crunchy texture. There's a bit of bean sprouts and a little bit of onion... I think the right amount is good! The special miso ramen also has minced meat in it, which is a distinctive feature. I like this minced meat, but it tends to sink in the soup towards the end and I end up leaving quite a bit uneaten. It would be nice if they could improve this somehow, like providing a spoon with holes (like Linghut does). Is that difficult? But overall, it was a delicious meal at Kawabata Dosanko in Hakata after a long time! There were some frustrations, but it was a good meal. Thank you for the meal!
