About
Hakata Choten specializes in authentic tonkotsu ramen, a signature dish from Fukuoka in southern Japan. The house broth, simmered for over 24 hours from pork bones, delivers a rich, creamy umami-forward flavor. Fine noodles cooked al dente are served with generous toppings: tender pork belly, soft-boiled egg, scallions, and fresh bean sprouts. Diners can customize noodle firmness and broth concentration. The gyoza—thin-skinned dumplings with crispy seared crusts and juicy pork filling—are among Paris's finest, having won Japan's national gyoza competition in 2004. The menu offers several tonkotsu variations: classic, black garlic-infused, spicy red miso, and special with all accompaniments. The intimate dining room features red-and-black décor, an open kitchen, warm ambiance, and attentive Japanese-style service.

“Lendemain de soirée difficile ? Envie d’un brunch ? Une obsession pour la saucisse purée ou les plats auvergnats ? On a tous parfois envie de s’attabler à la table d’un restaurant servant des spécialités délicieusement réconfortantes.”
pariszigzag.fr “After tasting tonkotsu ramen last week at Sanjo, I was eager to try it again. Soon after, I happened to pass by Hakata Choten, another restaurant in Little Tokyo, which not only specializes in tonkotsu ramen but also has a sign boasting that it had won an award for the best gyozas in Japan.”
parisupdate.com “The small red-and-black dining room of this Japanese restaurant is warm, inviting, and filled with the sumptuous smells of tonkotsu ramen. This traditional dish – Hakata Choten’s house speciality – was invented in 1934 in south Japan, and has since become a staple of contemporary Japanese cuisine.”
