The one bowl to order

The Hakata tonkotsu DX with the soft egg, and kaedama (extra noodles)

The line to expect: A long line at dinner and weekends. Beat it: weekday lunch.

Hakata-style tonkotsu with thin, firm noodles in Japantown, and one of the city's most-loved bowls.

Tonkotsu ramen, the creamy pork-bone kind

12 hr broth (1 hr hands-on), 15 min to serve · 6 bowls. Hakata's ramen: pork bones boiled hard for hours until the broth turns white and creamy. It's a weekend project; the broth freezes, so make a big pot.
