Hana Café + Ramen Rawai (らあめん花亭ラワイ店 ) needs no introduction – already well known by both tourists and locals at their Phuket Town branch (Hana Café+Bar). I am excited to share that they have finally opened their third branch... here in Rawai!

Lunch time is definitely their busiest hour! If you’re coming in a group of more than four, I would suggest to come by 11.30am. The menu features a wide variety of pork and chicken-based broths; I’m already halfway on a mission to try them all and so should you.

The Tonkatsu is a steaming rich pork broth topped with braised chasu pork, kikurage mushroom, green onions and if you opt for the special it comes with squares of nori seaweed and perfectly jammy ramen egg! The broth is thick, the slow-cooked pork was falling apart tender. Yums!

They also have a wide selection of toppings starting from 19 baht. I highly recommend the spicy minced pork and beansprouts topping. Their handmade grill gyoza dumplings are to-die for (we ordered 2 plates on our first visit, too much but it was too good not to!). Got to have their salmon sashimi as well.

I may have come for the ramen, but I will keep coming back for the rest of the menu – particularly the Saikoro Pork Chashu. A melt-in-your-mouth plate of pork belly cubes, I must warn you .. this is a very indulgent dish. Bite size thick fatty cuts served with soy sauce… oh my belly!

Japanese food + Ramen lovers, this is for you!

For first timers, leave them a TripAdvisor / Google Review to receive a complimentary iced peach tea drink.
