Hakata Ikkousha (Sunset Road): Silver Pork Devotion, Tamtam Curiosity, and Why I Avoid Lunch Hour
1:37 PM
First came Marugame Udon, then Hakata Ikkousha. Now I’m manifesting Yoshinoya and Ikkudo Ichi like a woman with priorities. I’ve eaten at this Hakata more than once.
Last time was ~7 months ago and it’s still crowdead enough to make patience a side dish.
Where & when (survival tips)
Location: Jl. Sunset Road 225x, Kuta, Bali.
Crowd pattern:
Night = busy,
lunch hour = chaos.
Best bet: late afternoon (post-lunch, pre-dinner).
Wait time this round: we were seated and served in ~5-10 minutes, which is miracle speed for this place.
What we ordered (prices I paid)
🌶️ Buta Tamtam Ramen IDR 64.000
Three slices chashu, two halves ajitama, sesame, leeks, and a red, oily house broth.
Menu says spicy, my mouth says pleasantly warm.
If you fear fire, you’ll live.
If you worship it, grab extra chili oil at the table.
🥇 Silver Pork Ramen IDR 69.000 (the superstar)
Ultra-thick tonkotsu broth, three chashu, ajitama. Dense enough to cancel small talk.
I love it, even though I’m usually full before I finish the bowl.
“Women avoid thick broth”? I am not women.
I am hungry (except on date nights when I pretend to be delicate).
Spice & tweaks
Pros & cons (speed run)
Ikkery Ikkosha (yes I said it)
Table has chili oil, sambal, salt, pepper.
I keep the original flavor (the broth is the whole point).
Heat-seekers: add chili oil gradually unless you enjoy regret cosplay.
If ramen fatigue hits
There’s gyoza and curry available.
I haven’t cheated on my broth yet, but friends swear the non-ramen dishes are legit.
Someday, when loyalty wavers.
Pros & cons (speed run)
Pros
- 🍜 Silver Pork broth is rich, silky, deeply porky
- ⏱️ Surprisingly fast service even when busy (your mileage may vary)
- 🔧 Easy spice customization at the table
Cons
- 🧍♀️ Waitlist common at peak times
- 🥣 Thick broth = fills you fast (not a con if you’re me)
- 🅿️ Sunset Road energy (traffic patience required)
