The best tonkotsu ramen in Melbourne, full stop — Hakata Gensuke's rich, cloudy pork bone broth is made to an authentic Fukuoka recipe and the noodles are perfectly springy. The signature God Fire ramen with extra chashu is the move. Queues are common at peak times but they move quickly, and the price point is exceptional for the quality. A must-visit for ramen lovers.
