The custom order sheet is the move — extra firm noodles, kotteri broth, heavy oil, spicy miso on the side. Kaedama refill is mandatory. This is Hakata done right.

Gardena original is still the one. Pickled ginger, soft boiled egg, and the spicy miso paste on top of a kotteri bowl with extra-firm noodles — that's my order every time.

Closed on Wednesdays — learned that the hard way. Otherwise a classic Hakata bowl, thin noodles (choose extra firm!), and one of the most consistent tonkotsus in LA. Cash discount.
