"Shin Shin is one of Fukuoka’s most famous spots for Hakata ramen. You can look forward to well-executed classic ramen of milky, umami-rich Tonkotsu broth prepared from pork bones, matched with Hakata-style fine, thin noodles and thick slices of Chashu cooked in a secret sauce till fall-apart tender. Expect to queue at peak meal periods!"
"What started as a yatai-style ramen shop is now one of the most popular ramen shops in the city. Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin Tenjin Main Store is known for their extra thin and straight noodles, which are special even within Fukuoka and go perfectly well with the sweetness of pork bone and soy sauce."
"Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin is gaining popularity every year. It serves simple tonkotsu ramen which is easy to eat. The thin noodles go well with the soup, and char siu shimmered in secret sauce is soft and creamy."
"We shared a bowl of dry style ramen and ordered the classic soup with lots of spring onions. The soup was definitely the best as the noodles were the winner. It was very long and thin almost like mee sua (a very thin Chinese noodles) and did not feel so starchy like some other ramen places and had a nice bite to it.

"Our absolute favorite was Shin Shin Ramen."
"Fukuoka's local speciality is a thick pork broth noodle dish called hakata ramen. Don't miss the chance to try a hot, hearty bowl while in town. Try Shin Shin for some of the best in town."
"After eating two extremely hearty, yet ultimately bland, ramens before this, I was grateful to be rewarded with a light and flavorful experience. And the toppings really seemed to compliment the whole very well. So, I really recommend this to those of you looking for Hakata Ramen, but who aren’t really fans of thick soups."
"Shin Shin is another Tenjin staple – the perfect place to crash after a night out in town, especially since it’s open until 3 in the morning. Their specialty is, of course, Hakata ramen, and is the perfect balance of oily and savory you’ll be craving after a night of drinking."
"You will find a solid bowl of Hakata style ramen here. The broth is rich but light with a nice nutty flavor. The noodles are on the thinner and firmer side."
"As with my first bowl of tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka, there was no egg. However, the finely-cut green onions mixed in well, and there were three thick slices of chashu. Put that together with good noodles and good tonkotsu broth, and this was an excellent bowl."
