This Butao in the Sha Tin location is nestled right next to Din Tai Fung (a one-star Michelin…read morerestaurant) yet still manages to attract a waiting line of equal length. 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.

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.

I can't say this place is as amazing as their name says. It may not be the most delicious place…read moreyou'll eat, but it's still pretty good in my opinion. For your information, they do not have an English menu. I do suggest you to learn some Chinese characters or bring someone who can understand or read Chinese. The location is a little sketch, but it's not too dangerous looking. Also, the restaurant is a little cramped, so I don't suggest a huge party with a lot of baggage. I had ordered the 一鳴拉麵 for 68 HKD. Which comes with half salted soft-boiled egg, 3 slices of char siu, seaweed, and noodles. They had the option of (direct translation) straight noodles or cooked noodles. Cooked noodles is the regular noodles you'd get from any ramen place. Straight noodles mean thinner noodles. I opted for the straight noodles because I had no idea what it was until I got my order. You also have the option of adding green onions or making the noodles spicy. Unfortunately, I had forgotten the rest of what the order paper had, but this is the gist of it. I also ordered gyoza. It was just like any gyoza. Nothing special. Service: Teenage. Why did I write teenage? Because it was very obvious the waiters there were teenagers. You can see them being in a rush or slapping down items on the table. You could barely hear a person speak to you when explaining the menu, and they were very on top of trying to get the finished food off your table. You knew they weren't as experienced as a waiter, but they were trying to be considerate. Kudos for trying. Overall, it's all right. I don't mind coming back again.

Located in 2F on the K11 Musea Mall, we came after watching the 8pm lightshow from the Avenue of…read morethe Stars (right next to the mall) and there was a short line up. 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.

Soup was great (almost finished it all) and the ramen was firm. The egg was cooked about right. This place is one of my favourite spots now because they have a wide selection of ramen. I really wanted to try their limited edition sake kasu ( only makes 5 bowls a day) but I was craving for seafood. Paid $155 for it which compared to other places it is a bit expensive but can't complain. Service was quick because I guess we were the only ones there. Place is small and we came late as they there half an hour until closing which is at 12am.

It's not their most recommended ramen, but it's still pretty delicious, especially their Pork. It just so soft. Mm... What I like most about this shop is that they're not joking around with their spicy level. For the noodle that I ordered it comes with their "Jigoku sauce" meaning "Hell sauce", it ranges from 0.5 to 3. Most people should be able to handle 0.5 spicy. Level 1 spicy kicks it up a notch where you kind of can handle it, but you'd need to drink more water. If you got level 3 spicy, you'd probably have a stomach ache from it's spicy content. I'm probably overreacting, but you could try it out yourself.
