    Is it just a walk-in ?

    • jcck on 09/03/2023 - 12:56

      Yup just go up to the counter and they will offer it to you

    Can confirm! Eating it right now. No line as well

    Standard price is $14.

    They told me they will be serving until stock runs out (which they estimate to be around 4-5pm).

    Thanks OP!

  • 50centscheaper on 09/03/2023 - 13:48

    Thanks op , had one

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 09/03/2023 - 14:05

    I gotta say, for a ‘chain’ ramen restaurant, Hakataya slaps. I miss the days of all you can eat noodle at the OG Gold Coast branch.

    • kerfuffle on 09/03/2023 - 14:06

      Is it worth trying? I've yet to go (I've been to Taro's, Beppin and Danbo so far)

      • beyonddd on 09/03/2023 - 14:11

        Don't go, if those are the ramen restaurants you've been to, you'll only be disappointed.

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 09/03/2023 - 14:35

        taro

        You are going to be very disappointed if you tried taros

        But taros you can’t get at Garbo or Sunnybank

        • bestywesty on 09/03/2023 - 15:26

          Must’ve been unlucky or something because I got Taro’s in Woolloongabba and it was pretty underwhelming considering the praise I hear

          • belongsinforums on 09/03/2023 - 16:01

            @bestywesty: Taros is the worst ramen I've ever had, and I've tried most Brisbane ramens. I worked in a ramen shop in japan fwiw

            • ilubbargains on 09/03/2023 - 16:12

              @belongsinforums: @belongsinforums which would you rate as the best?

              • belongsinforums on 09/03/2023 - 16:17

                @ilubbargains: In Brisbane? None are outstanding that I've tried. Hakataya is fine when it's free. I occasionally eat at men ya go. For the price, it's decent but their salt ramen isn't great.

                The newer one opposite asian arcade has an interesting chicken ramen.

                If you're ever in Melbourne, there's a little Chinese shop that does amazing Chongqing noodles, in their equivalent of queen's plaza .

                In Japan, ginza bonten is killer. In Okinawa, the two famous oki soba shops shit over all of the above.

                • bestywesty on 09/03/2023 - 16:38

                  @belongsinforums: Actually there is a Japanese restaurant called JFX in Gold Coast and they have an amazing Yokohama Iekei style ramen, the best I think in Queensland I’ve been looking around.

                  Only if you like the iekei style though it might be too much for people who like it simple.

                  Source: trust me

              I worked in a ramen shop in japan fwiw

              As someone that ate ramen literally every day in Japan for a month from 5 star options down to literal hole in the wall setups, Australian based shops just hit different.

          Taro is rubbish just pure salt

      Danbo is the goat of chain ramen though. Then we also have Taro's in Brisbane, and right down the road from this Hakataya is Beppin… Hakataya is great for free though, I went and got a bowl from this deal.

      • ruddiger7 on 09/03/2023 - 15:40

        Fingers crossed that Ichiran one day comes here.

          Try ginza bonten in ginza. God tier

        did you mean ramen danbo on gowan? i thought it was pretty average on both occasions :/

          Yeah. The sunnybank hills one is quite hit and miss from time to time, but I've never had an issue at the Southbank restaurant.

    • montorola on 09/03/2023 - 14:16

      Hakataya slaps

      I agree. Slaps harder than Will Smith lol

    • MasterScythe on 09/03/2023 - 23:03

      Yeah, even Ramen Champion put a 5 noodle refill limit on.

  • s779881 on 09/03/2023 - 14:06

    Looks like their payment system isnt working haha probs why!

    Just got it for free, 6 min wait

  • montorola on 09/03/2023 - 14:09

    Were any of you cheapasses game enough to ask for extra noodle lol

  • dlhng on 09/03/2023 - 14:33

    Thanks op, had one was great

  • Ozymandias on 09/03/2023 - 14:44

    Cheers OP, had to wait about ten minutes but free ramen is free ramen.

  • Poor Ass on 09/03/2023 - 15:10

    the noodle they serve isn't actually ramen but soup still tasty

    • belongsinforums on 09/03/2023 - 16:00

      What is it?

      • Poor Ass on 09/03/2023 - 16:54

        thin egg noodle without orange colouring because they wanted to cut costs

        traditionally there's no egg in the ramen

  • rustyaxe on 09/03/2023 - 15:22

    Thanks OP! Had already had lunch but couldn't help myself to some free ramen.

  • Iggemo on 09/03/2023 - 16:47

    great deal but unfortunately they only sell pork ramen? couldnt see a single vegetarian or vegan option

    • Poor Ass on 09/03/2023 - 16:55

      there is… just tell them to hold the pork hahaha

      but it can't be vegetarian anyway the soup is full of animal parts

    • AustriaBargain on 09/03/2023 - 17:26

      What other kind of ramen could you possibly want? Maybe tofu if you're off meat for a diet>?

      • Iggemo on 09/03/2023 - 17:57

        Most ramen places ive been in bris like Motto Motto and Taros and Men Ya Go and the like have at least some vegetarian option (the wife prefers this) so i was merely stating i think everything here is pork and there is zero other option as an FYI.

  • zuruhara on 09/03/2023 - 17:14

    No more guys. Security guard is there just in case.

    • montorola on 09/03/2023 - 18:34

      Just incase what lol

  • GregRust on 10/03/2023 - 04:08

    Keisuke in Perth or GTFO.

    • Poor Ass on 10/03/2023 - 08:37

      Why not just pick a random shop in Japan

  • Irishness on 10/03/2023 - 14:23

    free again today until they run out

    • Moo Deng on 10/03/2023 - 15:07

      For real?

      • Irishness on 10/03/2023 - 15:09
