I ordered the simple house ramen and was honestly blown away by how perfect it was, despite how humble and functional the dish itself is. The broth was a shoyu ramen broth with a brown and slightly yellow colour. The texture was very smooth and fluid without any graininess, but on top there was a beautiful layer of tiny fat bubbles that gave every sip a soft richness. You cannot see the bottom of the bowl because of the colour, yet the broth still feels light and clear in the mouth. The seasoning was spot on, perfectly salted with a deep, rounded flavour that shows real skill and a very good understanding of balance in ramen. The noodles were exactly how I like them. The thickness, the length and the doneness were all perfect. Not too firm, not too soft, just cooked to the second so they kept a pleasant bite while still soaking up the broth. The toppings of fresh spring onion and bamboo shoots added a nice crunch and a gentle freshness that worked very well with the soup. The absolute highlight was the pork chashu. The quality of the meat was incredible. The fat and the meat almost melted together, with a tenderness that felt unreal. The flavour was full and rich, intense but never heavy or overwhelming. Every bite of chashu with broth and noodles filled the whole mouth with flavour and was simply perfect. The shop itself is quite functional and clearly designed so people can come in, eat and move on, but it still feels comfortable. The staff work quickly and efficiently, yet they are very kind, polite and genuinely helpful. You feel welcomed even though everything is set up for speed. For me this bowl was complete in every way. Because of the outstanding broth, the perfectly cooked noodles, the amazing chashu and the friendly, efficient service, I can only give this place 5 out of 5 stars and a very strong recommendation.

A little salty but otherwise fantastic and delicious. A fantastic first ramen experience in Japan. Staff speak a little English. Enough to point you to the water and ask you for noodle hardness.
Barikata noodles bouncy and chewy - love hakata style! Soup on the salty side but complements the noodles 5/5
日曜日10時50分頃に到着して、先客なく先頭待ちとなりました。11時頃から列ができ始め、11時30分の開店時には20名以上の行列となっていました。 ニンニクラーメン（820円）とタコめし（200円）をいただきました。 旨味の溶け出した豚骨スープに提供直前に生ニンニクを絞って乗せてくれるので、ニンニクの香りがしっかりする美味しいラーメンでした。 タコめしは開店後すぐに売り切れる人気商品で、ぶつ切りになった大きめのタコがいくつも入った炊き込みご飯で、こちらも絶品でした。 インバウンド客はほぼおらず、地元の方で賑わっているお店でした。
福岡市南区にある「てんてんラーメン」は、地元で長年愛される名店。豚骨の旨みをじっくり引き出したスープは、濃厚でありながら後味すっきり。麺は程よいコシと喉ごしの良さが特徴で、スープとの相性も抜群です。ラーメン屋さんでは珍しい島唐辛子が置いてあり、甘みのあるスープをグッと引き締めます。これに紅生姜を加えたら最高でした！これはオススメです。名物のタコ飯！行ったときにはすでに完売！次こそはタコ飯も食べたい。

前から気になっており、 ラーメン大盛頼みました。 店に入る前に豚骨の匂いがして、すでに美味しそうな匂いしてました。 実食すると、やはり、豚骨スープ甘口で、醤油豚骨のような味で、麺は ツルツル、もちもち、私はやわだったけど、他の方は、ガネ、普通、いろいろ頼まれてました。 たこめし食べたかったけど、残念ながら売り切れ、14時頃来たけど。 びっくりしたのが あれ奥にハンドクッキー、手作りクッキーショップありました。 試しにはちみつレモンクッキー食べたら、そのままの味でサクサク。 シュトーレンは値段がそこそこだったので、諦めました。ジンジャークッキーは売り切れみたいでした。
ほんと旨かった。 昔ながらの中華そば、敢えていうなら麺がもう少し旨ければと思ったけど、硬めんだったからかな？ふつうとか、やわ麺で試してみてもいいかも。 替え玉すると、チャーシューの切り落としみたいなのもサービスで入れてくれてるし、価格も良心的。今どき、こんなお店が残っていたなんて… ほんと長く続けて貰いたいです。
