HAKATAYA has an amazing lunch menu, with a variety of ramens to choose from. My partner attempted the Hell Ramen, and it is as spicy as it says it is. We got some sushi on the side, and it was fresh and delicious! The food comes in quickly, even with a full house. The server was friendly and polite. We can't wait to return!

The hell ramen broth was spicy enough while the tonkotsu broth was light, flavourful and wasn't too heavy. I've had ramen from multiple different places, they tend to have multiple ingredients that each try to stand out in the bowl, sometimes overpowering another. The ingredients in each bowl from Hakataya were simple but work together to complete the flavour. Even after 30 minutes the ramen still tasted great, I think it would have tasted even better if we had it in the store. One of the best ramen I had. Highly recommend. 多分今までイギリスで一番美味しいらメンの中。

While the service was good, the food quality was subpar and the portions were too small for the high prices, which are higher than many places in London. The salmon was overcooked and dry, and the tuna sashimi did not appear very fresh. However, the interior design and menu were impressive. Overall, I would not recommend this place for sushi, bento, or yakitori, but I have not tried their ramen.
