Butao Ramen

Famous for its extra-strong pork bone broth, the chain of Butao restaurants sport some of the longest lines we’ve ever seen at lunchtime. Once in, though, you can get Hakata-style ramen with thin, straight noodles. In true Japanese fashion, your noodle bowl is customisable. You can choose the richness of the taste and thickness of the noodles. Even the best coffees don’t get this treatment. Try the East-meets-West green king ramen ($90) if you haven’t been overcome with hunger in the queue.
