A hidden ramen spot tucked behind Wellington Street's market stalls, Happy Samurai brings four generations of Hokkaido ramen craft to Central. The small, unassuming doorway leads to an intimate counter-seating space where the focus is on the food – namely, rich plant-based broths simmered from an 80-year-old family recipe. Signatures include shoyu, tonkotsu, and spice tantan ramen, alongside donburi, bao buns, and curry rice. Drinks range from premium beers and sours to sake, all chosen to complement the savoury warmth of the bowls.
