Hakata Choten

About

Hakata Choten is a Japanese restaurant specializing in authentic tonkotsu ramen, a recipe originating from Kyushu in southern Japan. The broth, made from pork bones simmered for over 24 hours, delivers a rich, creamy flavor without heaviness. The restaurant offers several tonkotsu ramen varieties: classic, miso, black garlic, and a signature version with all toppings. Noodles are cooked al dente for a crispy texture. The establishment is also renowned for its gyoza, having won Japan's National Gyoza Competition Prize in 2004. The intimate red-and-black dining room creates a warm, authentically Japanese atmosphere with courteous and professional service. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable for Paris.
