    Mango, 2. Spicy Tuna S, spicy M5. Salmon Maki S

    The food at Hakata Ramen in Waltham is pretty good. My best friend and I visited on Saturday afternoon, and the restaurant wasn't too busy. There were plenty of tables available when we dropped in, and we were seated promptly. We both ordered the lunch trio special. I ordered a spicy salmon, a spicy tuna, and mango and cucumber roll, accompanied by a miso soup. The ambiance included aesthetically pleasing serving plates and bowls, as well as adorable photos of animals on the walls. The mango and cucumber roll was noteworthy, but the tuna and salmon were somewhat salty. As the lunch special/rolls I ordered may not represent the whole menu, I plan to visit again to try other dishes.

    Poke bowl
    John A.

    We came for the ramen, dipped into the rolls and poke and left happy. One by one friendly servers popped our dishes out with pride. The crunch on the soft shell crab in our spider roll was on point. My poke bowl evoked a bit of the freshness of Maui. I got the bowl loaded with everything because well-- why not? The ramen was steaming -- not too spicy -- but flavorful and filling for a mid-afternoon lunch. Down home Japanese on display here. Would love for them to spruce up the pictures of the food adorning the walls -- glass pictures or frames would go a long way here. Is Hancock the Dorchester of the South? Considering the top tier Asian food you can get on this strip -- looking at you Le Madeline and Boston Banh Mi -- Hancock seems to be doing just fine by itself, thank you. Hakata is good addition to the neighborhood.

    Pork dumplings

    It's been a few years since I've been back up in this area and had a chance to go to Hakata Ramen. It was everything and even better than I remembered. The vibe is a pretty small Homie type of place with about 8 to 10 tables, but the food here is outstanding. I started off with the pork dumplings, which were delicious and ended with the spicy Ramen and added some Chachu. The broth was so flavorful so good. I'd highly suggest this place for a great bowl of Ramen. Service is amazing. Food is great. Prices are reasonable.

    We stopped by Hakata Ramen on Monday night since it's one of my mom's favorite places to go. We ordered their ramen and tuna rice bowl. The food was delicious. The restaurant is small and it seemed like a very popular takeout place vs. dine in. The door is right at the center so it gets a bit chilly with a breeze when people enter and exit the restaurant.

    Hakata Ramen is a no-frills Japanese restaurant with reasonably priced sushi and great fish quality. If it says anything, we went here twice in one week! It's perfect for satisfying your Japanese food cravings, whether you're in the mood for sushi. We haven't tried the ramen so cannot comment on the quality of it. The service is quick, and the food hits the spot if you're looking for a quick bite. We went for lunch, but I'm sure it would be just as good for dinner.

    My S.O. has an unsophisticated tongue said this place is good. I was reluctant to go but I was hungry and this place didn't have a line. So I budged. The place is underwhelming but the staff members were very hardworking and always checked on everybody. The photos didn't look appetizing but I thought it would still be okay. However, a picture is worth a thousand words and in it, the truth. It was very mediocre. The food reminded me of something you'd get at a fast food joint at a food court. To be fair, my S.O. is a value seeker so for its price, it matches perfectly for its quality. I'm a quality over quantity type of person so to be fair, a solid 3 stars for its superb service and value for its food.

    Friday Special - Katsu Don, Sushi, and Ramen for $19!
    John H.

    Hakata is an ok option when you are craving ramen for takeout. I got the Friday special which came with ramen, sushi, and katsu don. The ramen was a bit sparse with the toppings but came with a garlicky broth that I liked. If you don't like garlic, go with a different broth. There were 3 pieces of sushi. It tasted fine. Nothing memorable but get the job done. I wasn't a big fan of the katsu don though. The curry was a bland and the katsu was soggy (probably because it was takeout and been sitting there for awhile). Getting a chance to taste all 3 dishes for $19 was a decent deal though.

    Our favorite ramen spot. It's fast, friendly service and food is served so hot! We love their Gyoza, Angel roll and R6 ramen. There's so much Ramen we always have leftovers

    Very thankful to live right down the street from here, because Hakata Ramen has truly become my comfort restaurant. I usually order takeout and have only dined in once, but the one time I dined in was great. Service was fast; cute little place. Food is always amazing!

    Quick and easy service. Enjoyed the hakata ramen bowl, with its flavorful and salty pork broth, ramen noodles, half of a hard-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, spinach, and pork. Extremely satisfying, especially on a chilly, rainy day. Only downside was they only give 1/2 a hard boiled egg, would've like a whole! Overall, will order this again!

    I stopped by for dinner after a long day of work and it was exactly what I needed! They have such an extensive menu but with really well thought out ramen flavors and combos for each day of the week. This ramen is my go to because of how comforting and rich the broth is. The toppings are also of decent quality and pretty delicious. It's sort of a well balanced dinner with greens, 3 slices of chashu pork, egg, and of course the noodles. The noodles were thick and wavy but not too heavy. Not the best ramen I've ever had but all of this for $12+ is so worth it!

    Food here was delicious. Not pictured was the salmon sushi burrito. So worth it! Highly recommend. The ramen was spectacular. Very good. I got the katsu ramen and the chicken came separately, it was not in the broth. Service was friendly. Def will come back.

I would go to the original Brookline location but this one is a little easier for me to get to. My go-to is the OG miso ramen, It's very rich and hearty, leaving you quite satisfied after eating. If you want a "cleaner" flavor, then shio is a good choice. The portions are rather generous and they don't skimp on the toppings. You actually get a 1/2 egg included, which is becoming rare these days. The karaage (fried chicken) isn't the crispiest I've ever had but it is really flavorful and tender. The marinating and using boneless chicken thighs lends itself to having those two traits. Service is generally friendly and prompt. The area inside is a little dark, and uses artificial lighting to stay somewhat bright, but it's fine. This is a less cramped space than the Brookline location and since it's in a strip mall, there's parking. The area is rather devoid of ramen shops, so this was a much-welcomed addition.

If you want, I can  tweak it to sound more casual, more hype, or more like a review with a rating.

A really nice salty and umami flavor that was perfect. The Tonkotsu & Kimchi were both quite good too. The Shio Garlic Ramen was a little lacking. The broth reminded us of a stock chicken Pho broth. It was decent, but nowhere near as good as the others. We also loved the location and the whimsical style of the interior. It had its own design style, and wasn't trying to be another me-too location. We look forward to our next visit soon!

There used to be a Bank of America ATM right across the street but it seems like it is no longer there unfortunately. Their biang biang noodles are fire & you really can't go wrong with getting the dry version or with soup. Honestly, this has been my favorite spot to get noodles lately. Last week, I literally went here almosevery day for dinner (I wish I was kidding). My favorite dishes to order from here include: - Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodles - Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodle Soup - Fish Filet with Chili Pepper - Chongching Chicken with Chili Pepper Visually, the dishes don't look like generous portions but actually they're quite filling! The cumin lamb Biang Biang noodles (w/o soup) is generally my go-to because it's SO FLAVORFUL. The lamb is cooked well & doesn't taste gamey at all. It's a tad spicy but won't kill you hahaha. They do have another version of this dish that comes with soup & it's a great option if you're feeling a soup. This also has amazing flavor but of course, not as flavorful as the dry version since it comes with soup. I highly recommend getting the fish filet with chili peppers if you love a fried fish! They make it incredibly crispy without making the fish taste dry. This is perfect with a bowl of rice. Now, the chongching chicken wings have to be the spiciest dish out of my favorites. This is a great snack! I usually get this to share if I'm eating here with a group or if I'm getting takeout, I'll get this as an entree.The pieces are crispy, spicy, and juicy.
