Hakata Japanese Restaurant

Hakata Japanese Restaurant in Khlong Tan is the right choice near Ekkamai for tonkotsu ramen. The tonkotsu ramen is the correct order and the chashu pork belly with the marinated egg is worth specifying. Order yakitori skewers alongside the ramen for the full Hakata pairing the kitchen is built around. Ekkamai BTS makes this accessible from the Sukhumvit Line without a long Grab ride from Asok.
Hakata Japanese Restaurant operates in the Khlong Tan area of Khlong Toei near the Ekkamai corridor. The kitchen takes its name from the Hakata district of Fukuoka in northern Kyushu. Fukuoka is known as the origin point of tonkotsu ramen and the street food yakitori format. Tonkotsu ramen runs as the centrepiece of the menu with the rich pork bone broth cooked to the Hakata standard. The milky collagen-heavy base is the defining characteristic of the Hakata tonkotsu preparation. The ramen bowl is served with thin straight noodles alongside chashu pork belly and a soft-boiled egg. A yakitori section covers chicken skewer preparations with salt and tare glazing across the full skewer range. Gyoza in the pan-fried format run alongside the ramen and yakitori as the standard bar snack. A sake selection covers junmai and ginjo preparations suited to the Hakata food format. Japanese shochu covers the spirits section alongside the sake range for the full drinks pairing. The interior runs a clean izakaya format suited to a relaxed dinner in the Khlong Tan area. The Khlong Tan location places the restaurant within reach of the Ekkamai and lower Sukhumvit corridor.
Ekkamai BTS on the Sukhumvit Line serves the Khlong Tan area within practical walking distance. Grab vehicles navigate the Khlong Tan sois without difficulty from the surrounding Khlong Toei addresses. From Phra Khanong BTS a short Grab ride west covers the distance to the Khlong Tan area. The restaurant runs from the dinner hour through the late evening with the full menu available.
