I ordered the God fire ramen (๐ถ ๐ถ ) and I absolutely loved it! Donโt be fooled by the level 2 because for someone who loves to eat spicy food this level was just right. Any more than that I think I would have struggled. My sons had the chicken karaage and gyoza and they both cleaned up their plates! Hubby had the ramen with black soup (canโt remember the name) but i had a taste of it and it was just devine. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! Thereโs always a long queue so better get there early!
We got the God Fire, Chicken Karaage & Gyoza's & it was all awesome. The condiments are second to none. There was a fair wait to get inside but it was worth it & I would highly recommend it if u can wait. There is a queue for a reason, because it is good! We obviously did not get the same staff that everyone else is complaining about as they were all very freindly & helpful to us. Thank you & we will definitely be back!
Very friendly service, food comes out real quick and their broth is amaaaaaazing ๐คค

Even in the time of a pandemic, there are people lined up to enter the doors of this sensational ramen house- Hakata Gensuke
โโโโโโโโโ
Iโve had so much ramen all my life but I would definitely rate this way up there!
Simple broth, clean flavours and fresh ingredients giving you a sensory experience like never before!โบ๏ธ

We ordered the ๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐ฉ๐จ๐ช which was a light tonkotsu broth served with homemade thin noodles, tender pork cha-shu, bamboo shoots and spring onions.
Adam, my foodie date loved it moreover because there was no black fungus in there. Heโs not a mushroom fan at all๐
The ๐๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ was my favourite pick! It comes with different levels of spice to choose from. Thank god I picked level 1๐ถ because even then, my mouth was on fire with Gensuke secret blend of โSpicy Fireโ but so good and perfect for this weather.๐
We also had to order the ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ค๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐ฏ๐ and ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ that were simply juicy and delightful!
The service was truly impeccable. Minutes after we were seated down, the food arrived in all its glory.
The staff was amazing as well.
Ask for Bella and sheโll take good care of you!๐ฅฐ

Spicy pork ramen cheap and tasty!!! Lots of flavour always busy but worth the wait!
This is probably the only Ramen place that has a waiting line at 9pm.
โฃ
It's in Melbourne and it's called Hakata Gensuke. It's quite popular as there seems to ALWAYS be a line. I tried to go very late (30 mins before closing) and I was terribly mistaken โฃ๐
โฃ
There's all sorts of customisation from noodle texture to saltiness of the broth, making it perfect for picky eaters. โฃ
Best ramen!! So good that I went to the franchise in the states as well. My favourite part is eating nori sheets togeyher with everything. I always get my noodles extra firm, love the bite to it.
One of the best ramen i've ever tried.
And the side dishes (Chicken Karage and Dumplings) was so enjoyable.
This was the second time Iโve been to Hakata in the CBD. First time was a few years ago. Was impressed the quality has been maintained. Had the godfire with level 2 spicy. Very tasty broth and not overwhelmingly spicy to the point of being uncomfortable. The flavoured egg was perfect. Highly recommend!
Long line. Moves fast. Killer food.
Will receive stares from ignorant people passing by not understanding that Ramen Is Life.
Took my friend to Hakata Gensuke since I thought it was a good place to get her to try ramen. She rarely goes out and eat much and seeing her really satisfied with the ramen made me really happy. The gyoza was amazing and the ramen with some red ginger is so good. Really helps with eating more since itโs so heavy. Would come back here 100%
Solid ramen. My favorite part was the noodles. Great texture with a bit of chew. Broth was also nice.
Very good quality bowl of tonkotsu ramen.
Noodles are a little too thin for my liking (lacking the firm bite). Broth is full bodied and rich but also can take it up a notch in terms of flavor.
Place is family friendly, with high chairs for children.
Happen to come across this ramen place while walking around Bourke street and decided to give it a try.
This ramen restaurant is located by Bourke and Russell street. We got the Signature Tonkotsu Ramen, the Black Tonkotsu Ramen and Gyoza.
The soup for the Tonkotsu Ramen was mind-blowingly good. The normal soup is flavourful, thick and creamy yet it's not too salty. The noodle was the right hardness on normal.
The Black Tonkotsu soup was also as good as the regular Tonkotsu with added garlic and sesame flavour. However the sesame flavour is a little mild.
The gyoza was great with a crispy bottom crust with juicy pork inside.
Totally recommended ๐๐
Really delicious ramen. Been here twice and had to queue up both times.. usually if you get there reasonably early for dinner itโs not too long a wait. They do serve you very quickly (and ordering is via QR code) so patrons are fed and moved out fairly quickly.
I think the broth tastes great, always wish there was more of it. Consistent taste an service
I really enjoyed the flavor of the ramen. Our group ordered the black tonkotsu, the classic tonkotsu and some gyoza. The broth tastes really rich without being too salty and the pork slices weren't dry. The ramen taste was boosted with the sesame, chopped garlic, and some chilli condiment. However the sesame was very mild despite putting a lot of it.
The gyoza was also great. The one we got wasn't burnt and it taste best combined with the gyoza sauce and chilli sauce that came with it
I highly recommend this place. It can get very crowded with long queues on peak hours. So be prepared to wait. The place was rather small and cramped, typical of a ramen joint.
The broth was sooooo good, rich in flavour but not oily. One of the best ramen I've had and I've have tried many! Friendly service but get here early or be prepared to queue. Worth the wait :)
I visited Hakata Gensuke Tonkotsu Ramen for lunch yesterday and I have to say, it was the best ramen I've ever eaten. The broth was rich and flavourful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The other dishes we ordered (chicken and gyoza) were average, but the ramen was definitely worth going back for.
