What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hakata Gensuke is praised for its authentic, flavorful ramen with rich broths and perfectly cooked noodles, often described as a must-visit for ramen lovers. However, some find the prices high for the portion sizes, and a few reviews mention inconsistent broth flavors or undercooked noodles.
"Waited about half an hour for a table and another ten minutes for food to arrive, 30 minutes for the tsukemen to arrive. The place was bustling with a line almost up until close.
The mini ramen set was honestly divine - it’s a definite recommendation with four different dishes that are all perfection. There’s a mini tonkotsu ramen that has the classic taste, I would’ve preferred more soup and less noodles though. The pork was tender and flavourful. Then you have a choice of side - I got the mini gyoza, which also taste the same as the normal one, delicious. What’s new is an egg mayo which was fine, but then your choice of two types of onigiri. I got the unagi and mentaiko, and again both were made to perfection. The rice was warm and paired amazingly with the crunchy seaweed and pickles.
The tsukemen broth was mouth wateringly tasty (it might actually have been the best soup I’ve ever tasted), and the pork was melt in your mouth tender. No wonder everyone was ordering it - worth every minute that we waited for it.
I did notice though that the prices have been jacked up quite a bit since the last time we came.
Overall, delicious! Am definitely coming back for the mini ramen set and/or tsukemen. If you’re willing to wait and are an avid ramen lover, this place is for you!"

"First visit here although this outlet has been here in Vic Park and fair while. We arrived on a Sun at opening time and got a table no issues. Brought my parents to try them out so we had a few different ramen to test out. Verdict everyone was pretty happy, and broth was tasty and at the right temperatures. Noodles cooked perfectly. We will be back!"

"Hakata Gensuke – Ramen Done Right
Hakata Gensuke proudly calls themselves "Ramen Professionals," and they absolutely live up to the name. If you're a ramen lover, this place is a must-visit—their ramen is authentic, flavorful, and made to perfection. You even get the option to choose how soft or firm you want your noodles, ensuring a personalized experience.
The table condiments allow you to enhance the flavors to your liking, and the spicy veggies add a great kick. Beyond the ramen, the cheese gyoza is exceptional, and the katsu is juicy with a thick, crispy crust—both are definite must-tries!
Overall, a fantastic experience for ramen lovers. Highly recommended!"
