I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with dried shrimp added and the broth was rich and full of flavor. If you love seafood, I highly recommend this ramen. If you prefer your ramen more plain, get the original tonkotsu. Both did not disappoint. I just wish they had a location in California. Their only U.S. location is in Seattle, Washington.

Good thing they have good service - you can read their menu ahead of time and order right away once you are seated. And the menu is only a small selection - choose a ramen base, toppings, thickness of noodles. I chose the black squid version, with thick noodles. The broth overall is very strong and thick. A lot of flavours hitting the palette. The noodles were done to the right level. Inside the restaurant is very small, probably around 15-20 people. Pricing wise was around $15 CDN.

Even the ground meat was covered in squid ink! This was a really good ramen, even if I did feel kinda thirsty afterwards. The noodles were Chinese rather than the Japanese ramen, which was ok, but it would really be better if they had the latter! The pork belly was so fat and thinly cut though, oh my gosh. You could add pickled radishes and veggies from little jars on your table (one was spicy and the other was very salty)-- both were delicious. You share that as well as any more spicy seasoning and communal water. My bf got the Red King and it wasn't as spicy as he thought it would be, and it is more chili oil than actual chili powder. His soup was salty as well. I quite like this place for its novelty ramen. If you know what you like, you can also customize your ramen!

We came on a Friday evening around 7:50pm and waited about 30 minutes. The ordering is now done via QR code and not a written sheet.

This is must go place if you are in this area. The place is tiny ( can fit about 10 people ) so at peak times they will be queues sometimes 20 min wait maybe more depending on day and time. Definitely worth the wait though. They have different type of noodles. Spinach noodles , shrimp noodles .... And different types of soups as well. The portions are great. And the price is affordable.

Without any…read morereal plans to venture out to the city at 7am, we sort of just walked the airport for snacks and food when we felt hungry. We were mostly occupied with playing Pokemon Go at the airport, so that kept us entertained until about lunch time. Our initial plan was to eat the peking duck restaurant next door, but lines were long and the menu seemed daunting ($$), so we decided to keep it simple. We ventured through the food court next door and found ramen to be the most appetizing menu there. The cashier was a bit short in tone and basically just took the order without asking for anything more. I got the miso veggie ramen with a choice of drink. However, cashier didn't give you a choice and just gave you a coke, lol. Like, I get I'm a tourist and all, but at least let me choose. The veggie assortment was pretty standard with carrots, bell peppers, bamboo and cabbage. Broth was a little salty for my preference, but better than expected. Decent meal, but I wouldn't say I'd come back again to this location. If it was a restaurant location instead of food court, I think I would feel differently about it.

Who would've thought that airport ramen would be good? Baikohken is either has 1 Michelin star or…read morehas been recognized in the guide. Either way, it was tasty. It's very simple menu and this airport location basically forces you to get a combo with soda (and no, you can't get water or tea instead.) I ordered the shoyu charsiu ramen. I asked if it was possible to get it spicy & the gal working said no. I still enjoyed much more than I though I would. Great Q to the ramen itself & the broth was tasty - even though I drowned it in chili oil. I ate it all & drank every drop of broth. The only spicy option here is the miso spicy charsiu ramen. The Miso spicy is VERY soy bean forward and pretty dang spicy. Also, unlike the shoyu charsiu, it only has pieces of meat. If you find yourself at HKG and are looking for something to eat, don't miss out on Baikohken! It's a little further down from the main eats (Ajisen, McDonald's, etc.) but worth the small airport trek! 152/365

If that's no indication of how good the place is, perhaps the food will be a better one; I ordered the squid-ink ramen and was utterly beyond satisfied. The order form they have you fill out is laden with customisation options, so the broth comes as rich as you want it to be and same goes for noodle firmness, spice level and condiments. I went for a rich broth with normal firmness on the noodles. The broth definitely has a dominant squid-ink taste yet it's well-balanced with a robust creaminess. The pork belly was tender and succulent and ordering extra noodles makes it even easier to finish the rest of the broth. I would most definitely recommend a visit to Butao! P.S: the seating can be rather limited at times so expect to be sat close next to strangers.

While we waited, we see a big cloth hanging that tells you the restaurant is from Japan's Michelin Recommended Takano. The kids meal was the most impressive. They ate well that night! They got a small bowl of yummy ramen, delicious fried fish cake, gyozas, salad, and a strawberry cream waffle dessert AND a Yakult which they loved. All for HKD$92. The Aguni Island Salt Ramen we ordered was full of flavor and quality ingredients - the staff said this was the ramen with the lighter broth. Finally the Tsukemen that arrived last was just OK to us. The ramen was much thicker, and served slightly cold; best part of the dish was the dipping soup which had tasty protein in it, but I would stick to getting their ramen in the future. Apparently all their ramen are handmade. The service was slow so be ready for that. The kids meals came out first and the adult's ramen came 10-15min later and we were so hungry the adults started eating off the kids' plates. The Tsukemen took so long to come out I had to follow up with the staff if they've forgotten the order, but they hadn't... it just took that long.
