I visited this restaurant with my partner and was really disappointed by the experience. We ordered 2 takoyaki and 2 ramen. The takoyaki came out, which was fine, but then we ended up waiting almost 25 minutes for the ramen. We eventually had to raise our hand to get the server’s attention, and she asked if we were still waiting for something. We explained we were waiting for our ramen.

She went to check the computer and only came back about 5 minutes later to tell us that they “didn’t get the docket.” At this point we were already frustrated and very hungry. Instead of apologizing properly and fixing the issue immediately, she asked if we wanted something else because they had already washed the noodles and said only gyoza was available. We clearly said we didn’t want anything else—we wanted our ramen, which we had ordered in the first place and had been waiting for.

We were starving, and instead of preparing the ramen for us right away, they offered a refund for the ramen. We didn’t go there for a refund. we went to eat. It felt like they didn’t understand or care that we were hungry customers who had already waited too long. In the end, they refunded the entire receipt, but that didn’t solve the issue. We left still hungry and very unhappy with the service and how the situation was handled.

This was a disappointing experience and really needs to be addressed so customers in the future don’t go through...

honestly really good!! compared to when I came here when it first opened, they've really improved the quality of flavour and thickness of the traditional chicken broth, which my partner had. I would describe the chicken broth as hearty and rich but not too heavy with a good level of saltiness, definitely a different experience to the heavy and rich (amazing) pork broth at the Vic Park Hakata Gensuke. I had the mentai cheese gyoza which were INSANELY packed with flavour! also had the veggie croquettes (it was more like a big crumbed deep fried soft potato with not enough other veggies inside, only the odd corn kernel) but still a good meal :)

update: limited time flavour tori tan tan men has a comfortable spicy flavour, no sichuan numbing peppers which are sometimes included in tan tan men, amaaazing chicken katsu as topping 🤤 would also highly recommend the chicken katsu and karaage side dishes, you can't go wrong it's really good fried chicken 😍

other limited time flavour black godfire is simply a mix of their black sesame and godfire broth, it is what you would expect, sadly I'm not a big fan of the black sesame broth as I find it's not that flavoursome but it was still enjoyable

pictured: new side dish fried fish (sakana fry) it was good, would recommend the chicken side dishes...
