Milky Hakata broth with ultra-thin noodles and pork belly chashu. Rich enough that a few find it salty, and the toppings are the weakest part of the bowl.

Pork tonkotsu under a mound of spiced niku-miso, with Hakata thin noodles and pork chashu. The heat lands in balance, though the bowl runs small for the price.

Creamy pork broth with chashu, spinach and a soft egg. Opinion splits hard: comforting and rich to some, thin and underseasoned to others, in a bowl that runs small.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
