As I stepped into Ramen Hamatora in Canggu, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by a wave of nostalgia. The warm, inviting atmosphere reminded me of my childhood, where the aroma of home-cooked meals filled the air, and laughter echoed around the dinner table. This ramen restaurant, with its semi-outdoor setting, felt like a cozy embrace, a place where comfort food reigns supreme.

My journey began with the Chasu Ramen, which, despite its name, came with an unexpected twist—chicken chasu alongside the traditional pork. I had to ask for it to be removed, as it threw me off balance. The bowl, while not what I would typically call ramen, served as a warm pick-me-up on a chilly day. The broth, reminiscent of my Chinese mother’s lazy Saturday afternoon meals, was rich and oily, perhaps an attempt to emulate the authentic ramen experience. However, the noodles were thick and chewy, more akin to udon than the delicate strands I had come to love. It was a comforting bowl of hot soup, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was far from genuine ramen.

Yet, amidst my critiques, I found solace in the other offerings. Regular visits to this restaurant revealed a treasure trove of comfort food. The chicken nanban, chicken karaage, and creamy soto quickly became staples on my table. The staff, always smiling and attentive, seemed to know my order by heart, making each visit feel like a reunion with old friends.

One of the highlights was the creamy vegan ramen, which was a revelation. It was hearty and filled with goodness, a bowl that felt like a warm hug on a rainy day. Adding their piquant chopped chilies elevated the experience, giving it an extra kick that danced on my palate.

As someone who has lived in Japan, I could taste the differences in the ramen here compared to the authentic bowls I had savored in Tokyo. Yet, there was something undeniably good about it. The flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, and every bowl felt crafted with care. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made it a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal.

Despite the higher prices compared to other noodle shops in Bali, the experience was worth every penny. The free-flow tea and the delightful surprise of making cotton candy added a whimsical touch to the meal, making it a memorable experience. The cleanliness of the restroom and the prompt service only enhanced my appreciation for this establishment.

In the end, Ramen Hamatora is more than just a restaurant; it’s a place that touches the heart. It evokes memories of family gatherings and the warmth of home-cooked meals. While it may not be the authentic ramen I once knew, it has carved a special place in my heart as a beloved comfort food destination in Bali. I left with a full belly and a smile, already looking forward to my next visit.
