A new ramen shop has opened in Hong Kong. This one is a bit different. From Fukuoka, Hanka Honke has been around since 1954. According to their profile, they claim to have started ramen. Yes. THIS RESTAURANT INVENTED RAMEN. However, they didn't do the pork broth based ramen that we are more familiar with. Why? Because that didn't happen then! As ramen history goes, ramen was originally a Chinese noodle. The Japanese literally called it chūka soba (Chinese soba). It was much later it changed to o
This is what Hanka Honke was all about. A Chinese based ramen. And that is what I decided to try for lunch.
Located inside the new V Point building in Causeway Bay's Tang Lung Street. As it was new, they offer a 20% discount during the month of February.
During lunch session, they offer a lunch menu that includes a bowl of ramen, small bowl of rice, a daily yakitori and a salad bar.
Salad bar is located on the side and isn't very big. However, it may not be big but quality of ingredients were very good. They offered okra which was amazing! I had never had okra at a salad bar before. They also had various salad dressings but what I chose was a yuzu dressing. Something I had not seen in a salad bar before as well. This was excellent.
My set came on a tray. Food comes fairly quick. I saw they also included a steamed egg. It wasn't written on the menu so was a nice surprise.
As I was here for their signature ramen, I chose this. The Chinese ramen style for $100. I had never had it Chinese style before so this was interesting. The soup was not salty but had a odd herbal taste. It felt like how I felt when I had Chinese food in Japan. An interesting interpretation of what I know as Chinese food. The noodles were al dente. Their was a slice of char siu that was a bit on that fat side. Noodles do not come with an egg and there is not option to add one.
The steamed egg was ok. Nothing really special about it.
You get a choice of fried rice or takikomi rice. I chose the takikomi rice which was steamed rice flavored lightly with vegetables. This was ok but could have done with a bit more seasoning.
The yakitori was chicken and leeks with teriyaki sauce. Pretty good. Chicken was moist and the sauce was not overly sweet.
For this price and all this food, it was a pretty good deal. The ramen was ok but I'm wondering if it's due to the fact I'm so used to the pork/miso and other based versions and not the original version. Seating is very comfortable. But I'm unsure if I'd be back especially as there is so much ramen competition in just this street alone.
