HAKODATE is a great noodle place to pop in now and again if you, like me, are picky about your ramen.OK so it may not necessarily be the cheapest place for Japanese ramen in Hong Kong, but if you want authentic good quality ramen, this place ranks among some of the best.The place is relatively small (seating approx 30-40) , and the décor is fairly basic, but at least it’s clean and tidy. And remember you are here for the food. Staff wise, the owner and the chefs are both Japanese ( at lea
OK so it may not necessarily be the cheapest place for Japanese ramen in Hong Kong, but if you want authentic good quality ramen, this place ranks among some of the best.
The place is relatively small (seating approx 30-40) , and the décor is fairly basic, but at least it’s clean and tidy. And remember you are here for the food. Staff wise, the owner and the chefs are both Japanese ( at least one of them is from Hokkaido). They have some waitresses who speak Cantonese, as well as some English. The service has always been up to a pretty good standard when I visit, and my office is closeby so I’m a regular.
They are also thoughtful enough to serve you ice-cold tea (with free refills ^^) to help cool you down when you sit down all hot and sweaty. During the cold seasons, they serve you hot green tea instead.
Ramen wise, I find the noodles springy and the soup base is flavoursome and full of authentic ingredients. I especially like their butter ramen, which is in a league of its own.
As a ramen restaurant, their menu naturally focuses on ramen, but there are also side dishes like fried dumplings, oden (Japanese fishcake), Japanese fried chicken, etc.
Value wise, Hakodate’s ramen are priced towards the upper end of the scale but with the size of the ramen portions you get your moneys worth. And for those ladies who worry about not being able to finish a full ramen portion, Hakodate also offers a smaller half-portion ramen at a cheaper price.
By the way, there are quite literally loads of Japanese customers who visit regularly and with Japanese chefs and the large number of Japanese customers who frequent this place (especially at dinner time and on weekends), you sometimes wonder if you’re actually in Japan. Who needs to fly all the way to Hokkaido when you can get authentic ramen within a ride on the MTR?
The only down side of Hakodate is its location –it’s not in a very obvious location. The best way to get there is to take the MTR and get off at Taikoo station (don’t get off at Quarry Bay - you have to walk for an extra10-15 minutes). From Tai Koo MTR station take Taikoo Exit D1, then turn left and walk straight on for about 5 minutes along Taikoo Shing Road. When you see the three property agencies on your left, Hakodate is right ahead. The shop is open 6 days a week and is closed on Mondays.
