    Under cooked eggs
    Rogan H.

    Service was good but food mediocre. The noodles were okay but rich broth a bit above average. Pork and edamame were good. Eggs were erratic. We ordered extra eggs and one had shell on it. One was hard boiled.Two were so soft boiled the inner egg was raw rather than runny. Ambiance was very nice, and did come at what appears to be an ff time, but didn't expect very loud deliveries at one PM on a Saturday through the middle of the eating area.

    Dine-in: Saturday 5/27/23 12:30p I stopped by Hajime for quick lunch. The restaurant was not that busy. Menu accessed thru a QR code. The ramen here is average. The broth is rich, but a bit salty. The noodles are fresh and perfectly cooked. They have different selections of ramen broth base, but at the time there was only pork broth available. Each ramen entree come with slices of pork and and a perfect cooked soft boiled egg. I like that they offered other options like rice bowl, curry and a lot of variety of appetizers. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Overall, foods was average, service staff is pretty good, restaurant atmosphere is casual.

    I dined at Hajime for lunch on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 12:30 pm. The restaurant was pretty empty when I went, but got busier a half hour later. Ambience: The restaurant had an industrial design with the unfinished slab floors, exposed ceilings, and Edison light bulbs. The kitchen is exposed with the glass windows. Super casual chill vibes here. Food: The menu was pretty simple and straightforward. There is a standard selection of ramen that already comes with an egg and sliced pork. Additional toppings were available at a charge if you want to customize your bowl further. I had the spicy miso ramen, which I thought was a little salty. I liked that the noodles tasted fresh. The egg was slightly undercooked as I'd prefer it to be medium-boiled instead of the yolk being a little runny. The egg was also not marinated enough, if not, at all. I think nori seaweed should be a standard topping for all ramen, which was missing from the ramen bowl. The octopus ball takoyaki tasted flavorful and pretty much equal to other takoyaki I've had at other Japanese restaurants. Service: Our server was friendly, attentive, and professionally answered our questions about the menu. Waters were refilled and the food came out in reasonable time. Overall, I think the ramen could be slightly improved in terms of balancing the flavor in the broth. Service was excellent.

    Stir-fried KIMCHI Ramen

    We stumbled upon this ramen spot while in the Buckhead area, and I'm happy we did! Hajime's ramen was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor, freshness and spice. We tried their takoyaki, kimchi chicken ramen, chicken buns and ultra spicy ramen (level 1). The restaurant was pretty chill, service was good, plenty of parking!

    Back to overindulge at one of my favorite restaurants! The service is always wonderful. It's spacious and peaceful and there are gender neutral restrooms if you're into that. The honey miso ramen is just as delicious as when I first tried it. Of course I got the buns and pork chasyu.

    Maria R.

    Go here right now !!!! I found this cute hole in the wall place from TikTok and let me tell youuuuuu. I did not disappoint, the service was so good I'm definitely coming back to this place. The atmosphere was amazing and just homey. The food was the best part, everything they made it's like the made it with love and perfected it. We had the Kani No Ebi Maki that was so perfectly combined and buns and I believe we got the Ultra Spicy LV 5 and the Tonkotsu Ramen.

    Spicy ramen... so good

    Awesome ramen in Atlanta! I first heard about them when I was camping in the smokys and a group of campers were planning on driving an hour out of the way to have their ramen on the way home... I knew I had to try it if it was that serious lol. Fast frwd a few yes later and I finally got tge chance.. and they did not disappoint! I got the ultra spicy ramen with a heat level of 2 and it was perfect! My friend got the tonkotsu and she loved it! My wait is finally over and it easily met my expectations!

    I was actually heading to rain sushi but for some reason their doors were locked. I think goodness they were because it led me to go to Hajime for lunch. Tucked right in the corner of the Briarcliff shopping center is this hidden gem. Upon entering I was greeted by my server instantly I also noticed the restaurant was much more spacious than I anticipated. I was told to sit wherever and decided to best see that the house was at the bar. Initially the QR menu was not working for me so I asked the waiter what he recommended for an appetizer and he said the kani no ebi maki... Of course I had no idea what that was but it's shrimp wrapped in cucumber topped with a crab mix and a spicy Mayo sauce on top. It was delicious! I inquired about alcohol and my waiter told me about go to fridge and pick what I thought looked good. Well I was in luck because I found a lychee seltzer that was perfect not too sweet. I wish they sold those in stores. For my entrée I already knew based on the name that I was getting the stir fried kimchi Ramen with the spicy noodles. If you're wondering it was not really spicy at all. But the flavor was absolutely delicious and to my surprise the chicken was cooked perfectly. That dish was The perfect size and hit the spot the noodle to ingredient ratio was spot on as well. I could definitely see myself going back to try some of the other things they have on the menu since my initial experience was so great.

    This is absolutely the best ramen in Atlanta. We have been coming here since their first week and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed. The staff is super friendly and remember us and what we order. Casual dining in a non-stuffy atmosphere. Highly recommended. Pictured: Cabbage Ramen and Ultra Spicy Level 3

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Erin S.

    This review is for takeout only. We ordered over the phone at 8:10 on a Sunday night and it was ready in 15 minutes. Staff is wearing masks. Here's what we got: - Tori Ramen ($12): The broth was super good. Loved the fried onions and soft boiled egg. There was kale instead of spinach, but I didn't mind. - Tonkotsu Ramen ($11): My husband really enjoyed his ramen. It was packaged really nicely for takeout. The bowl with the ingredients was big enough to pour all the broth into when we got home. For the price, the portion, and the taste, we would definitely order from here again!

    Seafood Ramen

    Hand-made ramen noodles freshly made in the restaurant. Cooked by passionate chef and served by polite staff. Tonkotsu Ramen (pork belly), Seafood Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen were both delicious and filling. House made Kimchi was a surprised bonus. Takoyaki was great too! 8 balls for $10 making it both the best deal in town. Ume Ice Tea was as refreshing as can be. Overall very fair pricing overall as well. Highly recommended.

    Mr. J C.

    My food was fresh made to order, very good flavor. I had been craving a authentic noodles for a while and finally found a place that I'd recommend. Super nice service and a clean environment. Thank you

    We usually visit the same ramen shop every time we're in the Atlanta area but this time we wanted…read moreto explore more since we knew there were so many other options. We decided to try Slurpin' Ramen Bar first. I had read that they originally started in California so I had a good feeling about it and I'm so glad we went! Their tonkotsu broth was probably the best I've had in the US. It was rich and full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. It was so good that we didn't want to leave any behind so we actually took the leftover broth with us for the 5-hour drive home (thankfully we had a cooler bag!). I immediately had to tell my son who's currently living in LA for college so he can visit one there too. This place is definitely going on our must-visit restaurant list from now on.

First, when you walk into the restaurant, it is very cute, has a bar for solo diners and booths incase you are in a group. The location is very cozy and the employees were great! Our server was very patient and had no problem explaining, re-explaining, and confirming with the chef if he wasn't 100% on an answer. I got a tofu rice bowl, which I typically don't get and it was delicious! I asked if the salad could be put on the side rather than in the bowl and was given a full side salad that I wound up mixing into my rice lol. I also added broccoli to the bowl, which I probably wouldn't do again because it was pretty bland, but overall the bowl was good. Now the vegan dumplings... were FANTASTIC! We shared the dumplings and everyone agreed that they were easily the best thing that we had eaten the whole day. The green color threw me off at first, but the crispiness and texture of the dumpling was amazing. I would love to go back and try the ramen to see how it measures up, but again, great experience. Also, when you are paying the check, they bring you a small bucket full of dum dum lollipops, which I thought was a great touch. Me and my adult guests all left like happy children, which is exactly how eating out should make you feel.
