On a Sunday during lunchtime, I visited "Ramen Kamen 55" located about a 3-minute walk from Yakuin-Oodori Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line. This ramen shop is operated by the Tsunapaha Group, which has been loved in Fukuoka for over 20 years. They serve ramen created by a Sri Lankan restaurant. What kind of bowl will I encounter? My expectations are high. ■ Store It is located a little off Taisho Street heading towards the Kokura direction from Yakuin-Rokkaku. The exterior has a foreign look. The bright yellow noren stands out well. The interior is like a cafe. It has a warm atmosphere. The store has a capacity of about 15 seats, with 6 counter seats, and 2 and 4-seat table seats. As with any Tsunapaha Group store, it has an atmosphere that makes it easy for anyone, regardless of gender, to enter. There were 3 female staff members. There were 3 customers when I arrived at 2 pm. I sat at a table seat as I pleased. ■ Menu The lunch menu includes a choice of Ethnic Ramen or Shoyu Ramen. It's nice that rice and side dishes come with it. This time, I chose the ★Ramen Lunch (Ethnic Ramen) for 950 yen without hesitation. It arrived in about 10 minutes. Let's eat. ◆ Ethnic Ramen A fluffy and ethnic aroma with a hint of spiciness fills the air. I took a sip of the slightly thick soup. The spices are more subdued than I imagined. Thanks to the coconut milk. After the gentle sweetness of the coconut milk, the spices gradually kick in. The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles. These noodles are quite something. They are chewy and not overshadowed by the impactful soup. The wheat flavor is also firm. The topping of mizuna is crispy and serves as an accent. The chicken is grilled to order, and the skin is crispy. It's delightful that an egg comes with the default order. About halfway through, I added chili oil! It's quite spicy! It further stimulates my appetite. ■ Homemade Side Dishes - Hijiki and tofu stew - Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) - Takuan (pickled daikon radish) These have no ethnic flair at all. They have a homely taste. I particularly liked the tamagoyaki with plenty of vegetables. ■ Closing As expected of the Tsunapaha Group. The quality did not disappoint. It effectively incorporates the group's strength in spices while being well put together as ramen. It was a unique bowl. Thank you for the meal.

This unique ethnic ramen is truly one of a kind. I haven't been here in a long time, but it's really delicious. I doubled up on the chicken curry topping. After finishing the noodles, I mixed the curry soup with white rice and finished every last drop of soup! I even got a second helping of white rice. I'm stuffed!

I had ethnic ramen for lunch. It's been my favorite for a while and I've visited many times. I think it's a good deal for 950 yen. By the way, I asked for a smaller portion of rice and it was just right. The consistent deliciousness and the perfect amount of ethnic flavor that makes me break a sweat have become addictive.

Yakuin's "Ramen Kamen 55" is a ramen shop in the Tuna Papa series that is known for its spicy and flavorful ethnic ramen. The spicy flavor is addictive and the dish is easy to eat with Mizuna instead of cilantro. The atmosphere is welcoming for solo diners and the service is quick. I want to try the super spicy Panic Ramen next time. For those with room in their stomach, I recommend adding rice. - Store Information - Name: Ramen Kamen 55 Hours: 11:30-17:00, 18:00-22:00 Phone: 092-714-5552 Price: Ethnic Ramen 770 yen Closed: Mondays Private rooms: None Location: 2-13-33 Yakuin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka For more details, click here: https://lit.link/Ryoki Provided by: Ryoji Yoshida

I went to the restaurant I wanted to go to, but they had stopped serving lunch forever. The second and third places I tried were closed for the day. It was such bad luck, and then it started raining. Is someone cursing me? I was about to give up and go home when I caught a whiff of an ethnic aroma. That's right, I remembered a restaurant that was featured on a live TV show last week while walking around Tenjin. It's a Sri Lankan curry specialty store owned by the Tuna Papa Group, but this particular store is known for its ethnic ramen. Inside, there were mainly counter seats and a few table seats. During lunchtime, they offer ramen with rice and three daily side dishes. The dish that was featured on TV was the Panic Ramen, which looked delicious, but I wasn't confident so I ordered the Ethnic Ramen (770 yen) as a single item. When the ramen arrived, I was enveloped in the aroma of curry. They also provided a separate dish of Lucha (shrimp broth with spicy chili oil). The toppings included watercress, fried chicken, and a boiled egg. I tried it as it was at first, and then added a little bit of the Lucha. It was spicy at first, but then the soup revealed its depth and it was delicious! Finally, I found something to eat. Spicy ethnic ramen on a hot day really stimulates the appetite.

This time, while walking with Dragon Quest Walk, I encountered a ramen shop called "Ramen Kamen 55," which has an interesting name. The retro feel of the sign and the appearance of the shop, which looks more like an ethnic restaurant than a ramen shop, caught my interest. When I entered the shop, it was quite crowded, with about 70% of the seats filled, probably because it was Sunday. The owner seemed Japanese, but the other staff members seemed to be from tropical countries. Not knowing much about spicy ramen shops, I randomly chose the "Panic Ramen Extreme" for 1,300 yen. I decided on it because it seemed to have a lot of vegetables. After ordering, a strong smell of something spicy being stir-fried wafted over to the counter seat where I was sitting, and my eyes started to sting a little. It was then that I realized it was a spicy ramen shop, and I started to panic. Although I had once eaten a 25x spicy ramen at a famous restaurant in Miyazaki in the past, I wasn't particularly fond of spicy food, and back then, I had managed to finish it despite it being a reckless challenge. Soon, the dish arrived. Just like in the menu photo, it was full of vegetables and had plenty of red chili peppers on top. I had prepared myself for a level of spiciness that would make my eyes sting during cooking, but surprisingly, it wasn't as spicy as I had expected. It was a delicious soup ramen. I was happy with the abundance of vegetables. However, I ended up sweating profusely while finishing the meal in the cool restaurant. By the way, I heard that gyoza is half-price on Tuesday and Thursday nights, so I would like to visit again on those days. Apparently, the restaurant is famous for its curry, so I would like to try the Keema Curry Ramen next time.

The spacious and ethnic ramen restaurant is filled with the aroma of ethnic curry as soon as you enter. The lunch set was ordered to increase the appetite, but aside from the lunch set, there are many options to choose from. The ramen has a mellow yet punchy spice flavor, and when you finish it with rice and soup, it becomes even more delicious! The chashu is seasoned with spices which makes it go well with rice, making you want to order extra rice next time. I am curious about the soy sauce ramen and will challenge it next time.

I finally visited Ramen Kamen 55, a place I have been curious about for a while. I stopped by during my break and found a cozy interior with counter and table seats made of wood. They offer a lunch menu until 5 pm, which is convenient. Since it was my first time, I chose the Ethnic Ramen for lunch. I was excited as I waited and first tried the soup. Wow! The coconut flavor in the soup is amazing, perfect for those who love ethnic cuisine. It has a taste that Japanese people would enjoy, so it's easy to eat. The lunch set comes with rice, and even though I usually don't eat rice with ramen, it was different with the Ethnic Ramen. In fact, I felt like there wasn't enough rice. The homemade side dishes were just the right amount. I think it would be fun to visit in the evening too, so I would like to go there someday. Thank you for the meal! ⭐︎PayPay is accepted.

Ramen Kamen 55 Address: 2-13-33 Yakuin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture No parking available. Baby strollers are allowed despite the entrance steps. The sign advertises ethnic ramen and other addictive spicy dishes. I tried the Pork Curry Mazemen this time, which is a curry mixed noodles dish without soup. It is spicier than usual, with four times the normal amount of spices and 1.5 times the noodles. The Chili Chicken was incredibly delicious and addictive! I also tried spicy wine and black beer from Sri Lanka for the first time, which paired well with the Chili Chicken. The warm and welcoming atmosphere inside makes it easy for solo diners to enjoy their meal.

I visited an ethnic ramen restaurant and tried their recommended lunch set with a large portion. My wife ordered the Keema Ramen. The ramen arrived with a deliciously spicy soup with a hint of coconut milk aroma, which paired well with the medium-thin noodles. The chicken on top was also very tasty. Adding some chili oil from a separate dish enhanced the spiciness, making it even better. The Keema Curry Ramen was also spicy and delicious. Eating the rice and soup that came with the lunch set together was a great experience. The Keema Ramen seemed to go better with rice, but both dishes were delicious.

I often visit Nuwara Eliya, but upon a friend's recommendation, I decided to try the ethnic ramen at this sister restaurant. I ordered lunch because I wanted a small rice to finish the soup. I was expecting it to be extremely spicy like Tsunapa, making me sweat from head to toe. However, the balance of spiciness and flavor was excellent and it was delicious. The menu is diverse, so next time I will try the cold or tsukemen style noodles.

Visited on a Saturday night! No waiting in line! Ordered the Spicy Ramen with seasoned egg and extra rice! The soup was a light, watery curry soup with added coconut milk! It was delicious! The thin noodles went well with the curry soup! The topping of fried chicken chashu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a perfect combination! Lastly, pouring the soup over the rice allowed me to enjoy a curry soup experience! It was really tasty! Thank you for the meal!

This is a ramen restaurant in the Tsunapapa series. I had never tried curry ramen before, so I was a bit nervous, but this time I ordered Ethnic Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, Pork Curry Mazemen, and Grilled Gyoza. The gyoza had a crispy texture, with a good balance of meat and vegetables, and the sauce with chili pepper was delicious. The Ethnic Ramen had a sweetness reminiscent of green curry, with a gradually building spiciness that made me sweat a bit. The crispy fried chicken instead of chashu was amazing. The Pork Curry Mazemen had a more familiar curry taste than the Ethnic Ramen, with a strong spice flavor that was addictive. It wasn't extremely spicy, just enough to make me sweat a bit. The Shoyu Ramen was a light and refreshing option in between the curry ramen dishes, with a distinct flavor that still stood out even when eaten in between. I would definitely like to visit this ramen shop again.

I visited the ramen restaurant "Ramen Kamen 55" in Yakuin, a branch of the delicious Tuna Papa series known for its spicy flavors. It had been a few years since my last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised by the evolution of the menu. I ordered the classic ethnic ramen and it was amazing! The aroma of the spices was enticing even before I took a bite. The curry-based ramen was delicious, with the irresistible combination of coconut milk and spices. I regretted not getting the set with rice as it would have been a perfect match. I enjoyed it so much that I finished every last drop. I will definitely order it again next time! The Panic Ramen, with its intense spiciness, also looked tempting.Overall, I was very satisfied with the delicious ramen. For more information, you can visit the restaurant's website.

It had a mild taste that was uniquely good and easy for Japanese people to enjoy!: The vegetables on top were not cilantro, but mizuna!: It was my first time trying it, and it had shrimp broth and soy milk, with grilled curry chicken on top that paired well with the soup and was delicious!: ・Ethnic Ramen 720 yen::▫️Name: Ramen Kamen 55▫️Hours: 11:30-16:30, 18:00-21:30▫️Phone: 092-714-5552▫️Closed on Mondays▫️Location: 2-13-30 Yakuin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka 810-0022

Stable ethnic ramen ^^ This hidden gem near Yakuin Mutsuoka is a fan of Ramen Kamen. Ramen that I suddenly crave. The balance between ethnic and ramen is undoubtedly the best! During lunchtime, you get a side dish and rice, making it a great deal and you will be very full. It's been a while since I had it, but the taste is still stable! The noodles are a bit soft? Maybe just a little? And I feel like the spices have become milder! Before, it was quite spicy and made me cough. I like both, so it's not a problem for me ^^ It was a busy lunchtime this time, but I was able to quickly get in and there was almost no waiting time. I am very satisfied. Thank you very much ^^ Itadakimasu!

I visited a ramen shop in Yakuin during lunchtime. ~Order~ Ethnic Ramen 720 yen Spicy Vegetables 50 yen Spicy vegetables are apparently pickled vegetables fried with spices. The soup is coconut milk-based, with a mild sweetness and a nice spicy aroma. The spiciness is about the level of commercially available spicy dishes, and it's nice that you can adjust it with the separate dish of chili paste. The noodles are thin noodles that went well with the soup without being too thick. Toppings include boiled eggs, watercress, and fried chicken. I was a little bothered by the dryness of the chicken. Also, I wished the watercress was cilantro. I thought it would have been better if it came with rice, but I finished it. ~Summary~ It was a delicious ethnic ramen. The cost performance is good, and I would like to challenge the Panic Ramen next time. Thank you for the meal.

This restaurant is famous for its curry ramen, but I heard that their soy sauce ramen is also delicious. The soy sauce ramen costs 720 yen, and the soup is quite sweet, tasting like a kind of noodle soup base. It comes with thin noodles and two pieces of chicken chashu. It is quite different from the soy sauce ramen in the Kanto region. Perhaps this taste suits people from Kyushu.

One of my favorite curry restaurants, a branch of Tsunapaha. I ordered a lunch set with rice and side dishes. It wasn't spicy, but it had a good spice flavor, similar to laksa. The ramen was delicious. The rice in the set was shiny and had a nice firmness, making it even more delicious! It wasn't too salty, which was great.

I usually walk around this area as part of my daily routine, but I just noticed this restaurant for the first time. I had heard the name of the restaurant before, but I didn't know it was tucked away in this back alley. After taking a look around to see if there were any other interesting shops, I decided to enter this particular restaurant. The name of the restaurant gave me the impression that it might be run by a young and unique owner, but inside, I found three women (one of them was a foreigner) managing the place. Looking at the menu, I noticed a variety of unique ramen options. The one that caught my eye with its impactful name was the "Panic Ramen," but I opted for the "Ethnic Ramen" as part of the ramen lunch set priced at 850 yen. The ramen lunch set also included rice and three side dishes. While waiting for the food, I looked around and saw that the restaurant was almost full. The counter was neatly arranged with trays and ladles lined up for serving customers, giving a systematic and well-organized feel. The staff seemed to get along well, especially the foreign part-time worker who was being affectionately taken care of by the two Japanese employees. It was a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. When the ramen arrived, it had a unique appearance that I had not seen before. The aroma was reminiscent of green curry. On top, there was a half-boiled egg, and what looked like pork belly on top of the par-cooked noodles (actually fried chicken meat), and the green leaves that I initially thought were cilantro turned out to be mizuna. The noodles were thin like egg noodles. The three side dishes were also unfamiliar and had a foreign feel to them. I couldn't even identify their names. One tasted like "Nara-zuke" pickles, another was a cabbage dish with a hint of curry flavor, and the last one was a well-filled omelette. Each dish was full of pleasant surprises. Despite the unusual restaurant name, the all-female staff, and the unconventional ramen options, the staff were all friendly and attentive, coming to refill my water twice during my meal. I couldn't help but wonder about this pleasant feeling of dissonance. The conversations between the customers and the staff revealed that the owner was not present, but the spirit of "let's break the conventional harmony" in the restaurant's creation left a lasting impression on me. It was a wonderful restaurant.

I was brought to this restaurant by a friend who is knowledgeable about Fukuoka. I tried their lunch set, which included rice, three side dishes, and ramen. The ramen came in two flavors, soy sauce and ethnic, and I chose the ethnic ramen. The soup had a completely authentic taste of Thai green curry, which surprisingly went well with the ramen. It was delicious! Pouring the soup over the rice turned it into a Thai-style soup curry, which was also very tasty. It was a unique and enjoyable experience to savor Thai curry with ramen and soup rice!
