    We were nearby attending a Yelp Elite event and stopped at another restaurant for a late lunch because we were hungry. Hubby didn't care for it much and decided we needed to stop a few doors down to grab some Ramen. As we walked in we were greeted by smiling staff and there was a surprising number of diners given the late "lunch" hour. I ordered a couple of nibblers (aka appetizers) as I was not all that hungry after our "1st lunch". Hubby ordered two ramen bowls because he couldn't decide which he wanted more and he wanted to take leftovers home for lunch the next day at work. The chicken Karaage was a bit too salty for my taste, although if you are it with the raw cabbage it was served on it was better. I was not a fan of the mayonnaise dipping "sauce" it was served with. It was just straight mayo. The gyoza dumplings were typical - not amazing but not bad either. The ramen bowls had a nice amount of 'accessories' but the broth did not have the rich umami flavor we expect of ramen. It kind of fell flat for us. Hubby said both bowls were better the following days when he had them for lunch at work. He did add more flavor to them by way of sriracha sauce, though. He said he enjoyed the noodles more the following days, too. He felt they were a little too al dente when eating at the restaurant - I disagreed with that; I thought the noddles were pretty good when initially served.

    My wife and I love Hanabi! The service is always great. It's a cozy little spot. We really enjoy the food here! I get the Kara miso every time and we always split some gyoza. They serve canned soda but they do allow you a refill of one can which I appreciate.

    Well, I was driving home from work and was jonesing for ramen and thought about Hanabi at Old Denton Road(Carrollton). When I got there(Sunday evening), it was a zoo!! I had to drive circles 4 times every which way to find myself a place to park! Next time, I would come here during the week after lunch to avoid this parking shenanigans. So, I've eaten at Hanabi many years ago and it was packed at 6pm. I sat down at the counter. I ordered hot green tea(powder), spicy Tonkotsu, fried gyoza and side of rice. I'm Japanese and this is how I enjoy my ramen with gyoza and rice. It'd been nice if Gyoza wasn't deep fried, but it was ok! I added soft shell shrimp and extra soft boiled egg and no chashu(I don't like them). They were kind of stingy on noodles, so I asked for kaedama(extra noodles)and the lady had no idea what I was talking about, so she brought me the menu and pointed at extra noodles. The broth was tasty too. I had fried rice to go and I ate it the next day and it was delicious. I think I will come here more often during the week after lunch and not on weekends.

    It was pretty dammm good

    This place had great food and the service was amazing. I will be coming here again. It's king of hidden, you definitely have to give it a try.

    I like the interior design/ambiance, reminds me of the traditional ramen restaurant in Japan. Food is decent here, we ordered the spicy Tokyo ramen and hanabi tsukemen - Both are delicious! We also ordered gyoza, it's very crispy and the filling is full of flavour. Quick service with a massive parking lot in front of the restaurant - although it's full when we were there. Worth to try it out if you are in the area!

    Amazing ambience and food. Also, the service is incredible. I got tan tan mei, which is the perfect amount of spicy and savory. My family got chicken ramen which they loved. We will definitely come back.

    Hanabi Ramen Carrollton: A Nostalgic Return with Mixed Results Hanabi Ramen was once a staple for us when we lived in Plano--consistent, flavorful, and always satisfying. So when we had the rare opportunity for a kid-free night, we were excited to revisit one of our favorite spots. However, parking quickly became an issue. The lot, which has two sections (front and back), was completely full when we arrived. After circling for 15 minutes--feeling like we were driving through a Christmas lights tour--we decided to check out other ramen options nearby. Unfortunately, parking was scarce everywhere, leading us to a detour at CM Chicken. After finishing that meal, we decided to take one last chance at Hanabi, and luckily, we found a spot in the back section. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend heading straight to the back lot for parking. Walking into Hanabi, the nostalgia hit immediately. The warm, inviting atmosphere, the light brown wood finish, the neatly arranged booths and tables--it all felt familiar. The seating options cater to both couples and larger groups, while the bar-style section near the front offers a closer view of the chefs at work. Service was impeccable, as always. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and quick to bring our drinks and take our order. For my meal, I went with two favorites: Chicken Curry Don and Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. My wife ordered Shrimp Tempura over rice. Chicken Curry Don: 10/10, Absolutely Phenomenal This dish has been my go-to for years, and it did not disappoint. If I could describe it in one sentence, I'd say the curry sauce alone is worth the visit. The rich, deep brown gravy carries layers of umami, warmth, and spice, reminiscent of a perfectly seasoned Thanksgiving giblet gravy but with an Asian twist. It has a thick, velvety consistency, soaking beautifully into the bed of soft, sticky rice. The dish is topped with a tangy, pickled pink vegetable (possibly radish or onion), which adds the perfect contrast to the rich, savory sauce. Even though I was already somewhat full from our earlier meal, I cleaned my bowl completely. This remains, in my opinion, the best dish on their menu. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: 7.5/10, Good But Slightly Off The presentation was spot-on--the deep red broth, the glossy oil rising to the surface, the tender pork slices, the perfectly soft-boiled egg. Everything about it looked beautiful. The ramen itself featured slightly wavy noodles, which I enjoy, and the pork melted in my mouth. However, as I ate, I noticed something I hadn't before: a bitterness in the broth that lingered after each bite. In past visits, I had always been starving when eating this dish, so maybe I never picked up on it before. But this time, being less hungry, it became more noticeable. The bitterness slightly masked the depth of flavor I was expecting, making each bite feel like I had to eat more just to balance it out. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered. Next time, I may try a different ramen option to see if I can find one that hits the mark better. Shrimp Tempura: Simple but Solid My wife's shrimp tempura was lightly battered, crispy, and golden brown, served over a bed of white rice. It was a clean, well-executed dish. She ended up adding some of my ramen broth to her rice for extra flavor, which worked well. Final Thoughts Hanabi Ramen still holds up as a fantastic spot with fresh ingredients, friendly service, and a cozy ambiance. Their Chicken Curry Don remains a must-try. While the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen wasn't quite what I remembered, the overall experience was still enjoyable. We'll be back, and next time, I'll explore other ramen options to see if I can recapture the magic. If you're planning a visit, park in the back lot and prepare for a warm, comforting meal--especially on a cold night.

    This shopping center has a lot of delicious choices for dining, but this one, Hanabi Ramen, came highly recommended from employees at Royce who have had an opportunity to try all. They put this place at the top of their top choices. I wanted to eat at the shop because it looks like a groovy little Asian diner with wood booths, a community table for groups or singles, and partner tables for couples. However, I had to leave, so I took my order to go. There was a special waiting area with a view to the busy parking lot, but it was nice to soak up the sun through the tinted window during this cold November day. My order was ready within 10 minutes and I was out the door. Once home, I was happy to see that the peanut sauce was securely in place in a tall plastic container. The ramen with eggs, bok choy, and meat chunks were in a separate soup like bowl also held securely in place with a lid. Flatware, chopsticks and a thick quality napkin were included so I could dive into my meal right away. I chose the Tan Tan Men which included a spicy peanut sauce. I ordered extra noodles and they did not disappoint. The noodles were super long. I had difficulty pulling out a bite full with my chopsticks because they were clumped so tightly together. This might not have been an issue if I hadn't ordered extra noodles or if I ate in house. I probably should have reheated the noodles and broth so the items would have had time to soften and loosen. However, I was hungry and the food was too good to wait. I wish there had been a little more bok choy to balance out the meat and noodles, but the flavor was lip-smacking good. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again; although, I might try a different dish. There is a picture menu posted outside of the shop as you enter the restaurant. This gave me a chance to see what was offered along with a description of ingredients in each dish and the prices. I love that they do this so you can (1) make a decision about whether you want to enter the restaurant and (2) make your decision in advance without tying up an employee waiting for you to order.

    I love a really good ramen and I've had a bunch of good ones especially traveling to Japan. But this ramen I had at Hanabi is in my top 5. We went here with my husband and I got the Black Tonkotsu ramen, it a stock with black garlic oil and it has the most balanced seasoning of saltiness and garlic oil. That first slurp of that soup just explodes in my mouth. My husband always gets the spicy ramen and he loved it as well. We also ordered the fried gyoza with a non-spicy dip with chili oil. Service was also tops, it was quick and efficient and they were all nice. Ambience is cozy. They have booths and tables for big and small groups. It's quite a drive for us to Carrollton but we will definitely be back.

    Love the split bowl options to try all their flavors! Black garlic ramen and kara misp were very good. Also got karikara chicken which tasted like a nice gochujang sauce. Ambiance is pretty nice too.

    so I went here so many times in high school when it first opened and thought it fell off, but recently went again with my boyfriend and ???? its actually rlly good ??? we got tan tan men, miso ramen, and karikara chicken, all super good (esp chicken) ‍‍‍ apparently they got brand new kitchen staff so maybe thats why but would def come back, such a throwback (sorry we demolished everythjng before taking pics, phone did not eat first)

    The place is a gem, I am judging the broth by its looks and it didn't pass at all but when we tried it - it was one of the few tastiest ramen we had. The chicken karage with their sauce is somehow overwhelming for those that's not used to with asian spices - it taste more like a korean. The beef bowl was really amazing especially their rice is high quality from what it taste like. The place only have indoor seating. When you enter their place you will be greeted immediately and feel the Japan vibes. It was a really cool interior. Service was okay, nothing really fancy. Overall it was a good experience!

    Black tonkotsu in the big bowl. Spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu in the split bowl.

    We got the black tonkotsu, spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu ramen. The flavor was outstanding for the black tonkotsu. Very deep, full flavor broth. The ramen noodles were very tender. The chashu was good, but a little dry and not as tender as I've had with other ramen restaurants that had higher quality chashu. Although the broth was tasty, the temperature of the broth was not hot enough. The presentation was also ok. The egg was cooked nicely, but looked like it was beaten up a bit as it was being cut open. The spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu was tasty as well. Service was good. Good amount of seating.. Although there is a lot of parking, it's a very busy plaza..

The ambience is perfect for special occasions, such as a birthday or a date. The coolest thing is that the second floor is a karaoke lounge that also has a full bar and has great energy so get rady to sing your heart out.

So many people throw around the word 'authentic' but this place is the real deal. they've got a daily fish special (even have Akamutsu as an offering.....real indication of a true sushi joint) and a menu offering izakaya options that are hard to be found at other japanese restaurants. We got some rolls and ebi tempura udon to go. Speaking to japanese attention to detail, each to-go bag came with a hard cardboard cut out at the bottom of the paper bag to prevent spilling/caving through. Utensils packed were good quality disposable chopsticks, and for each portion of sushi there was a ramikin of wasabi, ginger, and both regular and low sodium soy sauce packets. and this sounds silly but high quality napkins included in the to-go as well. the rolls came with great generous portions of fresh fish. but what super surprised me was the ebi udon. the ebi tempura were HUGE. REAL DEAL TEMPURA, FRIED IN HOUSE. alot of places just get those frozen ones that are skinny but tiny...these ones are massive, and well worth the price. the udon soup came with wakame too. i called ahead to order and they quoted me 15 min, however it took about 25 min for me to have the order in my hands. no big deal, but even during a weekday lunch the restaurant (albeit on the smaller side) was 70% full so they were prob pretty busy. can't wait to come back and try this place in earnest later!

If you are wanting some true authentic Japanese food this is the place to go. They have it so properly down that when I closed my eyes the atmosphere alone could have me feel as if I was back home. The food here is fresh, homemade, and absolutely to die for. Their udon noodles are the exact same as old local spot. The cutlet is fried perfectly. Everything is just so perfect. I would wait hours for this place.

    I can't believe I have not written a review for this place! This has been our go-to spot for…read morecelebrations (birthdays and anniversaries) throughout the years. However, the past two times we shared this place with another couple who loves sushi just as much as my husband and I do. One reason we kept coming back, aside from all the delicious food, was how they labeled their menu with the top food allergens. As a food allergy mom, I appreciated this so much! Especially when I was still breastfeeding, I had to eliminate all of my daughter's allergies to breastfeed safely. The main ones I had to look out for was gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and sesame seeds. The safe was aware of my limitations and shared empathy, not annoyance like other places. T Thankfully I'm out of that stage so I can eat anything on the menu now. We would like to take our daughter here some day, she loves sushi a lot! But being only 5 years old, we'll need to save it for a special occasion. We get carried away when we come here. The food here is top notch and worth every penny, so we'll have to save up. Cooked dishes we always order: Brussel sprouts, steamed mushrooms, hamachi collar and miso cod. All the nigiri/sushi is fresh and you can't ignore the specials or seasonal menu!

    My husband found Robata & Sushi EBESU on Instagram, and it immediately caught his eye. We…read moreabsolutely love Japanese cuisine and are always adventurous when it comes to trying new places, especially when they are highly recommended. Having lived in Hawaii, we ate sushi, sashimi, and poke on a regular basis. Finding spots like this allows us to create new memories while also feeling a bit nostalgic for the flavors we love. We might have gone a little overboard, but everything was incredible! We ordered the Crunchy Eel Roll, Hamachi Nigiri, and Tuna Nigiri, along with two of the EBESU Course menus. My husband had the Chirashi Don and I went with the Toro Tekka Don. Love, love, love. As you can see, it was a lot of food, but every single piece was cooked and cut to perfection. The dishes are very easy to share, and I think next time we'll lean into that more so we can sample even more of the menu. If you are looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese food, this is the place to go!

My shoyu ramen was very good, wonderful broth, great noodles and bamboo shoots, and a very flavorful soft boiled egg. The chashu was fairly small, but it was still a great bowl. My partner's tonkotsu was not as good as the shoyu. Nothing stood out as bad, but the broth was weak and the fungus was mediocre. It did have a very generous amount of chashu. The service was great and the atmosphere was impeccable. I will likely return.

    I visited on a Sunday evening, and there was only one other group of customers. This location is…read morenoticeably smaller than their others. There were two waitstaff and one cook. We were seated quickly, and our waters were brought out right away. However, the menu here is different from the other locations I've been to, so I recommend checking it before you come if you're expecting specific dishes. They were also out of some of their noodles. We placed our order, and the karaage salad arrived first within about 10 minutes. Sadly, the ramen came out almost 30 minutes later and wasn't plated cleanly. There was broth all over the edge of the bowl, and I even think the server's finger was in the broth when she dropped it off. Additionally, the ramen was missing the egg, and the noodles were overcooked. One of the waitstaff seemed to be the only one actually working, as he was helping about 95% of the customers in the restaurant. Overall, I highly doubt I will be returning to this location anytime soon.
