Hakata Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen Costa Mesa

popular ramen place, good for kid eating, you can scan QR code to review menu.

This place is kind of tucked away. You may not see it if you’re not looking for it. But definitely worth finding.

This is the second time I've been here(out of state) and BOTH times Hakata has not failed. Our first time was incredibly busy but the staff was able to produce an extremely quality ramen bowl. Their Karaage is delicious as well. The second time was way less busy and they were able to churn out my order within what seemed to be less than 5 minutes. Still, the taste was insane. Choose "light" on the menu if you don't want your ramen to be too salty. Atmosphere is nice but it feels "quick" you can enjoy some socialization here but it may be better to head out somewhere else due to capacity and business. That's not a slight but just an observation. Didn't affect my experience whatsoever! Can't wait to return!

I recommend the black ramen!

Food quality went down severely. This might be the last time I am here. Service is still great. 02/19/22 I came back after an year. The quality is better. I did not know what happened an year ago but I am glad.

First time and very disappointed in portion. So basically $15 for noodles in a container but portion is 1/3 of the container. And very salty. Will not be coming back. This pic was taken before I even consume it. This is the small amount for just noodle and broth.

I love it
