What an amazing place to try on a cool, rainy day before the typhoon hits. I came late after a long flight, about 30 minutes before closing after the lunch rush at 230 p.m. The staff greeted me with a smile and were happy to seat me. The menu has some great options, but as a frequent flyer of many years here, I went with the classic No.1 ramen. Highly recommend! I've never had broth like it -- it's always rich and delicious. Like you don't want to leave any in the bowl good. The pork chashu melted in my mouth, and the noodles had the perfect bite. Washed it all down with an ice-cold Coke Zero in a glass bottle - how cool is that!? I highly recommend it. This is the real deal, not hype, and it's actually that good.

Luckily this ramen place was open when we were wandering for food last week. We always go to the one at Central / Sheung Wan, and it has been one of our all-time-favourite ramen places. We have ordered the signature tsukemen and the "shrimp oil mixed noodle". Both of them were very yummy. They were able to keep the same standard as the Central shop. The noodle is chewy and the soup is thick, while the mixed noodle is oily and fatty (I like it:P). Will definitely come more often.

For a change of pace, Ramen Kureha serves ramen in a unique shrimp based broth. The soup is overflowing with shrimp eggs. It also contains fresh bouncy moderately large shrimp, a bit of chili oil, garlic, and seaweed. it is powerful, earthy, and tastes like the sea has been reduced into your ramen bowl. I normally don't drink the ramen broth, but I drank every last bit of it this time. Atmosphere (***** out of *****); I felt like I was in old Tokyo (see my pics). Service (***** out of *****); I almost felt like I was in old Tokyo. They greeted me in Japanese, answered all my stupid questions, and let me take millions of photos like a Japanese tourist. Lol. Conclusion (***** out of *****); If you want to be transported through space and time back to old Tokyo, then Ramen Kureha is the place to be. Yeah, it is kinda expensive at 104 HKD for a bowl of ramen, but time travel ain't cheap.

But because that place had a long wait, I decided to check this award winning ramen place out. Totally did not disappoint! Like all ramen places, this one is tiny. There are two bar seating areas only, with a max of maybe 10-12 seats. You order your bowl of ramen by marking on a piece of paper your order, and any preferences you might have (how soft you want your noodles, how concentrated you want the soup, any onions, garlic, etc.). When you are ready, you hand your paper to the waiter and wait for your noodles! I wanted the award winning bowl, which is supposedly limited to 30 bowls a day. But due to the complexity of the soup and the difficulty of acquiring the ingredients, they limit their 30 bowls to only Saturdays and Sundays. Since I went on a weekday, I ended up ordering their White Truffle Ramen. This was so delicious! The housemade ramen (you can see them make it in the kitchen) was perfectly cooked with the right texture, the 16 hour tonkotsu broth was super flavorful but yet light and refreshing, and the chashu was soft, fatty, and tender. Topped with some minced truffle, this was the best bowl of ramen I've had in a while. If this was this good, I wonder how good the limited edition award winning one tastes! This is definitely a must-try if in the area. Only a short walk from Tin Hau mtr station.

Sorry to be the 5 star combo breaker but it doesn't strike me as a 5 stars ramen…read more The decor was quite nice and reminded me of Tokyo. You know, those little ramen joints at some back alley but are always full. It's a shame nothing else followed reminded me the same way. For starters - the server did very little to make us feel welcome, if at all. I rarely complained about service (hey, it's Hong Kong after all!), but as a Japanese restaurant, at least they are usually trained to pretend to give a dime about service. Apparently the sausages are pretty popular here, but when my friend asked, he seemed to hesitant to explain the difference of the sausages on the menu. You may feel more comfy if you are a repeated customers. But all repeated customers start as a first-time customers at some point of time right? Ordered sausages and fried dumplings. Nothing particularly impressive. The ramen. I ordered the spicy one. It's the good kind of spicy, but (1) It's double the size of the usual ramen my friends ordered. Nowhere in the menu indicated that size, and I hate to waste food. Also I realized that, other than the extra bbq pork I ordered on top, the spicy ramen practically got nothing in it (some small pork chucks, I supposed, but since the ramen noodles were so blew out of proportion you couldn't really think that's a proper ingredient). It's supposed to be healthy and without MSG and all. Umm. Okay. Wouldn't queue for it, but wouldn't mind to come again to try another ramen dish to make another review.

We came around 12:40pm on a weekday and were able to get a table, but by about 1:15pm there was a line outside. Food: You have the option to choose the broth, hardness of noodles, whether you want spring onions, essential oils, and garlic. Other add-ons are additional charge. -My friend got the pork broth and I tried it and it tasted really good. Simple and savory. -I got the "Beauty" ramen ($80) which is a pesto ramen with bacon. The broth was really good! I asked for "hard" ramen and it came as requested. For me I also had garlic and green onion, and overall really enjoyed the ramen. The "Beauty" ramen is a set that comes with a small yogloo (yogurt drink) and salad. -We also got a gyoza and the filling tasted really good also. Service -They have quick service to take your order after you mark what you want on a sheet -Food also comes quickly No complaints here. Will have to return to try other ramen, or I may get attached and have this "Beauty" ramen again. What a beauty!

This Tsim Sha Tsui location is a step up from that in terms of ambiance and service. It is on the 6th floor of iSquare. As you come out of the elevator, you have to weave around other shops and follow a curve to the end in order to find it. It's not difficult, just a little out of the way. The restaurant wasn't busy at lunch time on the Wednesday we came and we were seated straight away. It felt comfortable and relaxing where we sat. The waitresses were courteous. Our water glasses were filled before they got empty. We ordered Miso Ramen and Shoyu Ramen. The latter soy sauce flavor was good but I still thought the soybean paste flavor was better. I'm biased? The noodles were al dente. Unfortunately, the gyozas were nice and crispy only on one side. They were just too soft when you flipped them over. I prefer them fried evenly. One nice thing about Santouka is the consistency of their ramen broth. I haven't been to very many of their branches but so far the flavor has always been reliable to me, even across the ocean. If I have a hankering for Hokkaido ramen, I know where to get my fix.

There's no reservation for this place. Their simple dipping ramen menu consists of three types. They only make about 100 bowls per serving hour so you may be out of luck if you arrive late. The décor is simple. Some wooden panels and the chairs are coke cartons zipped tied together giving it a very "shum shui po" feel. In all honesty, there are more dipping ramen places in Hong Kong to try. But if you happen to be in the area... or you happen to be in Shum Shui Po, this is a great place to nom.

Hidden gem in Sham Shui Po! My favorite tsukemen in Hong Kong!…read more Who knew you could find good Japanese food here? It's literally hidden in Dragon Center in the back corner down an alley way on the 7th floor. I've been here twice, and I loved it both times. How to tsukemen: For those who have never had tsukemen, this is a dip noodle. Basically, you take their homemade noodles and dip it into the broth for flavor and then you eat it. Simple right? It also keeps the noodles at a chewy consistency. When you're all done eating and dipping the noodles, they will pour stock into your broth to dilute it so you can drink it after. The broth itself is intense for noodle dipping, so you must dilute it to drink or else it's too much. How to order: You're given a piece of paper to order the food, and you select what type of tsukemen you would like. They only have three different flavor broths (white, black, red), so it's not a hard decision. White is original, black is garlic-y, and red is tomato-y. If you add more ingredients then they'll charge more. This place generally costs 100-150HKD, depending on what broth and add-ons you get. My favorite is the white because the black is too garlic-y but the red is a close second. I like to add another egg (your ramen comes with one already) because those things are halfway cooked, runny, and delicioussss. I also add menma, which is fermented bamboo shoots that go perfectly with ramen. Yummm. The ambience is alright. It's a small place so don't expect a lot. The interior is pretty cute despite the location as it reminds me of Japan. The chairs here are the worst since they're stacked crates with very little leg room. I sit off to the side to make up for that, but if you're tall, you've got some problems. The service is spot on! They're super nice and ask if you need help with ordering since tsukemen isn't really common. My waitress was lovely and came whenever I needed any help, which it was a lot because my friends kept asking for things. We all needed stock for our broth at different times, and she was still so patient with us. Loved her!
