A conveniently located spot to enjoy Fukuoka’s beloved soul food-udon, served fast and fresh.
If you're visiting Fukuoka, Kamaage Makino Udon Hakata Bus Terminal Branch is a must-try spot loved by locals. Located on the B1 floor of Hakata Bus Terminal, right next to Hakata Station, it's a convenient place to grab a quick meal between sightseeing.
The udon here is freshly boiled straight from the pot, giving it a delightfully chewy and satisfying texture. You can choose your preferred noodle firmness from three options: soft, medium, or firm. One unique feature is how the noodles absorb the dashi broth and expand over time, creating an ever-changing texture. To keep the balance just right, each bowl comes with a small kettle of extra broth for refills, ensuring you enjoy every last bite.
The most popular dish is the Goboten Udon, featuring crispy burdock tempura paired perfectly with a savory broth made from Rishiri kelp. Another favorite is the Niku Udon, generously topped with sweet and savory simmered beef, making for a hearty and satisfying meal. With a wide variety of toppings available, you can customize your bowl to suit your taste.
One of the best things about this shop is its fast service—your order is served almost immediately. Even if you're short on time, you can enjoy authentic Fukuoka-style udon quickly and casually, making it an ideal stop for travelers on the go.

When you come to Fukuoka, besides tonkotsu ramen, you definitely can’t miss the local soul food—udon. Of all the udon restaurants I’ve tried, Makino Udon is definitely my favorite. I can’t stop thinking about it every time I visit Fukuoka!
The udon here is known for its thick noodles, with a firm texture and distinctive chewiness. Paired with a light, savory-sweet broth made from kombu and bonito, it’s simple but never gets old. Every bite is full of happiness.
The most interesting thing is that the noodles soak up a lot of broth, so as you eat, there’s less and less of it. The restaurant thoughtfully provides extra broth, so you can add as much as you like. Top it with plenty of chopped green onions, and the whole bowl tastes even better!
The restaurant is also near Hakata Bus Terminal, so whether you’re planning a day around Fukuoka or want a quick meal before catching a bus, it’s very convenient.
Some foods are just like this—they don’t need fancy presentation or complicated seasoning, but you fall in love after one bite and even miss the flavor after returning home!
