Tasty and rich

We ordered incredibly crispy fried oyster mushrooms and a ramen with the sesame seeds base (it was really filling!). On Google, it said that they also serve sake but they didn't, however, I ordered another delicious non-alcoholic drink. Would visit again to try the other ramen styles.

Excellent. A breath of fresh air.

The owner clearly cares about the service and style of food. He offered some items that I've never seen anywhere before - mentaiko toast??? vegan fried oysters???

He's made such a unique and thoughtful menu. The complete opposite of those who seek to lazily profit off vegans and their lack of options. It was a reasonable price, quick service, and simple but good ambience.

He served hakata style ramen with a rich flavour and the local, thinner noodles. He even took the time to explain about the ingredients when I asked, and he let me charge my phone. He refilled my water whenever it got low. Even the music was great.

This place was 10/10.

Pros: The food is great quality and unique!, Reasonable price, The owner is kind and thoughtful

Cons: Nothing. This place surpassed all expectations.

Lovely place

Must visit for vegans in Fukuoka in my opinion. The ramen, the place and the host are all great. We even got some complementary vegan tiramisu as a dessert.

the perfect neighbourhood ramen!

i've tried a lot of ramen in kyushu and i was blown away by how creamy and umami the hakata style ramen was!

it's a short walk from yakuin station and it's worth the adventure out to it! the owner is so friendly and the food is delicious!!!

Pros: the ramen, the quiet location , the owner

Cute little shop and cute owner too!

We went here for dinner and the ambience was just so so cute! With the dim light and open kitchen, what a nice sight to experience!

We ordered the Hakata style ramen, the tantanmen, and fried oyster. All were so warming and tasted amazing. The broth was so thick almost like soup and we enjoyed it much!

Just not to be confused, the name on the building said "Mondo Hirao" (we don't know why) but it's the right place!

Pros: The thick soup, The ambience, The cute owner

Excellent vegan dinner

This small restaurant is a joy, with delicious Ramen and other dishes. It's a one man show with the kind chef preparing meals that delight. We enjoyed both the Hakata Ramen and the spicy Ramen and both were great. Don't be fooled by the low-key entrance and quiet neighborhood. don't miss this place!

Pros: Savory dishes, Great ambience, Kind chef

Cons: Can't think of any cons.

Hervorragende Ramen

Die Ramen waren wirklich gut und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt auch. Man kann zusehen wie das Essen zubereitet wird. Die Rezepte sind größtenteils klassisch, teilweise auch Neukreationen des Chefs.

Pros: Ramen, Netter Chef

La migliore esperienza di Fukuoka

Piccolo locale 100% vegan all’interno di un edificio con una vetrata panoramica, facilmente raggiungibile, ma se non lo conosci potresti perdertelo. Il proprietario è gentilissimo e super amichevole prepara ogni ingrediente personalmente ed è molto felice di soddisfare ogni curiosità. Abbiamo mangiato un sushi incredibile preparato davanti ai nostri occhi e un buonissimo ramen. Consiglio a tutti di fare questa esperienza.

Pros: Proprietario gentilissimo, Cucina a vista

One of the best vegan restaurant in Japan !

It is inside a building like the Google Maps description says, you'll see it from the ground.

This is easily one of the best if not the best vegan place I've been to in Japan !
The owner is alone and makes everything from scratch and in front of you, it's truly wonderful.

We arrived with a bit of waiting and he offered us 4 bottles of water and recommended we go to a nearby small traditional garden while the tables get freed, he was so nice ❤️ The temple was wonderful and the waiting time was even shorter than predicted.

We ordered a lot of everything and it was all so flavorful, mastered like a pure chef with a perfect balance in every meal. The sushi especially, which he told us were from his grandmother's recipe were something out of this world 🤩

You cannot go wrong here, he even offered us dessert for 6 so he is a good trader as well. We talked a bit in the end and he's so sweet, trying his best and you can see he likes what he's doing, it's beautiful !

Only opened since late May 2025 but it's gonna be a classic in no time I'm telling you !

Pros: Lovely owner, Perfect food

Must try in Fukuoka

I'm so glad I got to try this place. The Hakata-style ramen was the best I've ever had, the broth was so rich and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The spicy tomato ramen was also a huge hit; it had a flavor that was both unique and delicious. The gyoza were crispy and fantastic, easily earning five stars.

What made this restaurant truly special, though, was the owner. He's incredibly passionate about his craft, growing his own food and creating his own spices. You can taste the quality and love he puts into everything. We were there on a hot day, and as we were leaving, he kindly offered us cold bottles of water. This kind of genuine hospitality is wonderful.

This is a hidden gem in Fukuoka and a must visit. You'll leave with a full belly and a warm heart.

Best experience in Japan.

This is probably the best restaurant I’ve had in Japan. Everything was outstanding with this place! Especially the service.

The owner was super friendly, and has a great passion for his craft. His ambition with where he wants to take his restaurant is very admirable. Every day, he picks his vegetables locally from the Fukuoka seaside. His attention to detail is unlike any other place I’ve been to.

Would highly recommend for anyone wanting food that comes from the heart!

Best ramen in Japan

My girlfriend and I went to fukuoka and struggled finding ramen that weren’t with pork. We stumbled across this small restaurant and fell in love. It was so delicious and the owner was terrific. Such a lovable guy who speaks English better than the average Japanese person.
We even got a free desert!

Pros: Delicious , Service, Cheap

素敵なveganレストラン

落ち着く居心地の良い空間です。
親切でフレンドリーなオーナーが出してくださる料理は、どれもとても美味しかったです。

餃子は生地がもちもちで食べ応えがありましたし、お寿司は一つひとつ繊細で丁寧な味付けがされていて、じっくり味わうと幸せな気分になりました。
ラーメンはクリーミーで旨味のあるスープが美味しく、デザートのアイスクリームとティラミスは、程よい甘さの滑らかなクリームが口の中で溶けて、爽やかな余韻を味わうことができました。

多国籍な雰囲気もおもしろくて素敵だと思います。

Outstanding

WOW. WOW. WOW. Had one of the best meals of my life here. It’s everything:
- Food is beyond delicious
- Everything I had was outstanding, ramen, gyozas, sushi, ginger ale, ice cream—all 10/10
- Drinks are homemade
- The space is nice, lots of sunlight
- Prices are very reasonable
- Menu is creative and expansive
- Best of all is the owner, the nicest person I met during my trip. Always helpful, always communicative, puts love into his food

Having travelled 70 countries and eaten in 1000s of restaurants I can say this place is special.

素晴らしい料理をありがとうございました!

Have 3 ramen choices. Set comes with vegan sushi, dessert and gyoza. Absolutely delicious, owner is very friendly and let us try their homemade bread. Dessert was outstanding with homemade ice cream and crunchy sugary pine seeds.

Cons: A little pricey

Super-thick and yummy regional vegan ramen

This place is a lovely small vegan restaurant. It offers 3 vegan ramen and multiple appetizers and side dishes.
We tried out the vegan sushi (starter), the Hakata tonkatsu style ramen and a Tomate ramen. All dishes had an amazing flavor. The ramen was very thick and creamy. I never knew that you can create something so delicious with almond milk.

The place just opened and the owner was grateful for our visits. He explained us that all ingredients are from his garden outside the city. He starts preparing the ramen every morning at 5:30. You could feel how much work and passion he put into his cooking.

Pros: Hakata-tonkatsu style vegan ramen, Fresh and regional ingredients, The friendly owner
