Located in Stephen Avenue Place, this is the perfect downtown lunch spot for a quick bite that also happens to be delicious.

Hakata ramen, also known as tonkotsu ramen, is a hot noodle soup dish characterized by its creamy, white, and rich broth. There are five different options at Goro + Gun, and we had the original tonkatsu, the vegan mushroom, and the patina ramen, served with noodles, chicken broth, BBQ pork, and bamboo shoots.
