The interior of Hakata Ramen is simple but attractive and has a slight rustic feel to it, with a few tables spread around the sole room, a counter in the middle for takeout orders, and a very small sushi bar with four seats in the back right section of the space. Hakata Ramen resides in the heart of the neighborhood (near where Hancock Street, Beale Street, and Beach Street meet), and like many storefronts in Wollaston, it is a tiny and unassuming place that is easily overlooked. While North Quincy is becoming increasingly known as a destination spot for Asian food, neighboring Wollaston is beginning to make a name for itself as well, with an interesting mix of dining spots featuring Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean fare.
Never heard of the place? It appears that you’re not the only one.
But ramen is indeed big now, going well past the days of 99-cent meals in tiny dorms and moving on to some of the most popular restaurants in the Boston area-and some not-so-popular spots, such as a little eatery in Quincy’s Wollaston neighborhood called Hakata Ramen. More than a few people seem to be wondering of late, when did ramen because such a trendy dish? It does seem odd that food nerds, restaurant industry folks, and the like have such a craving for something that used to be seen as a cheap late-night or early morning fix for hungry college students returning from a drinking jag or an evening of clubbing.
