The first time I went there was years ago and I wasn't a fan then, but it is totally different now. The ramen broth is very well flavored and the noodles are perfectly bouncy. We got the tomato ramen and tonkatsu. The egg was really...Read More

First time coming here with my girlfriend. Originally, I came here to try out the ramen, but I ended up getting the gyudon. My partner chose the tomato ramen. We also ordered the Pyramid roll and the Hawaiian roll. The service was pretty good....Read More

Visited Hakata for the first time. In my opinion, it was excellent. Tantan Ramen? Very good Chicken Katsu Curry? Excellent. My girlfriend enjoyed her Tonkotsu ramen. She thought the Edamame could have been salted heavier. Give Hakata a try.

Simple place with minimalist design. Service is fast and friendly. Sushi are fresh and sashimi melt in your mouth. I think this place is one of the best for Japanese cuisine in Waltham. A+ Asian restaurant without any doubt.

Solid spot for Ramen. The service was incredibly quick and my ramen came almost immediately after ordering it. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and it was really good. The broth was rich and the noodles were tender.

Kaarage needed salt but overall it was fine. The fried oyster was delicious. The sushi was above average and definitely the star in the restaurant. Fresh rice and fish with good presentation and not a crazy amount of sauce.

Hakata Ramen is one of my go-to's in the area for sushi and ramen. Their tonkotsu ramen is delicious and their raw salmon is always fresh. The tempura is light and crunchy, not oily. The service is super fast and friendly. The restaurant is …

Great service and food! We ordered a few appetizers that were out quickly, as well as different ramen and a poke bowl. All of the dishes were fresh and the portion size was more than enough. Would definitely visit again!

This review is long overdue. Their vegetarian tomato ramen is hands down the best ramen I've ever eaten. I took it for granted while I lived outside Boston, and whenever I go to another ramen place I compare all others to Hakata. This ramen base...Read More
