Savor Slow-Crafted Plant-Based Broths at Happy Samurai

Tucked just behind the lively market stalls on Wellington Street, Happy Samurai is a lowkey ramen spot that’s all about heritage, not hype.

The shop is backed by a fourth‑generation family‑run factory outside Sapporo, where the proprietary broth behind every bowl has been perfected over 80 years. Leading the Hong Kong outpost is Chef Kouji, whose family still operates their original factory, ensuring each bowl stays true to its Hokkaido roots.

The menu spotlights comforting classics like the creamy Tonkotsu (HK$138), the spicy Tantan (HK$138), and the umami‑rich Shoyu Ramen (HK$128), all made with plant‑based broths that deliver surprising depth and richness. They also serve donburi, bao buns, and curry rice, plus sake and beer to round out your meal!
