Shin-Sen-Gumi, Hakata Ramen

I loooove the ramen here. It's customizable and very authentic. The place is small so there is almost always a wait, but it's totally worth it because the ramen is so good. I also love their Soboro don and chikuwa tempura.

The ramen here is delicious. Although it is hard to find, because the restaurant is located in this small pink center, it is worth it. The food here is delicious and if there is a line, it moves quick. On top of that the people are super friendly and will even drink with you.

this is probalby the most authentic ramen store you will find anywhere (besides japan..). they have all sorts of types of ramen, and if you are still not full, you can ask for more noodles just for a dollar more. parking is fine, but the wait is usually long, depending on when you go (dinner, etc). an average dinner wait is 10-15 minutes since the venue is a little small. worth the wait though!

This is the place to go! The noodles and broth is prepared to YOUR liking. Just tell them how hard you want your noodles and how strong you want your broth (I usually go medium all the way). You can get refills on ramen for only $0.95 more, but i suggest that you save some broth if you're planning to do so. Aside from ramen, they also have many other side dishes and specials (which are usually posted up on the walls) which are all equally delicious. Very modern ambience with incredibly upbeat waiters/waitresses who will greet you the moment you walk in and graciously thank you on your way out.

PRO: good food that won't burn a hole in your wallet
CON: can't take the ramen to go =(
