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.

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.

tan tan men, karikara chicken, miso ramen
Jinny K.

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)

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.

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.
Chris L.

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..

Karikara Chicken
Tiffany H.

I have actually been obsessed with Hanabi since I first discovered it about six years ago in Fort Worth. I introduced my husband to them at their Denton location and he also fell in love with them, so imagine how happy we were when we realized they also had a Carrollton location when we moved to the area! We have always been big fans of their karikara chicken. It has such a good spice level and the flavor is amazing. What's even better is we've realized they've made the portions of the chicken bigger since we had it in the past, so now we really only need one bowl to fill us up versus two. Usually we do grab extra to bring home because it is just as delicious the next day. Anytime we've brought friends they have all loved their various ramen dishes. I did recently try their fried rice, and it was pretty bland like it didn't seem to have much seasoning, which is surprising since their dishes always have so much great flavor to them. I did add soy sauce to help add some more flavor, and it did make it a bit better. I don't think that should take away from how great this place is, especially when they're known for their incredible ramen! I've always loved the style and decor of this restaurant that makes you feel like you're immersed in Japanese culture. Their service is incredible, and you always feel welcome by their staff. They're also great at getting you seated quickly if you're a small group of 2-4, but beware I've noticed their Carrollton location can get full very quickly! It's a popular area and the restaurant here is pretty small, so this place is better if it's just you swinging by for a date or with 1-3 friends. I do highly recommend trying this place out for a delicious meal!

So many things on the menu were unavailable. We were all mixed on some food items being very good and others being mediocre. Three of our cocktails between dinner and the karaoke orders were just wrong.

I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday.

This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo.

The beef was thinly sliced, not greasy, and paired well with the curry. It also came with pickled radish on the side, which helped cleanse the palate. Nothing too crazy, but definitely fun to eat.

The rest of my party (3 other people) absolutely HATED their dishes. I have an egg allergy, so I couldn't try their katsu or ramen, which I found a bit surprising, since most ramen places I've been to don't use eggs in the noodles themselves. I was torn because I genuinely enjoyed my dish, but considering this is primarily a ramen shop, I feel obligated to share their experience. The ramen broth was very bland almost milky, and the meat was chewy and disappointing.

Excellent service, ambiance, and food!…read more The Chef's choice 5 piece sushi had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and 2 others I had never heard of. The 2 others were the best ones. Sake toro and mendaiko cream udon were fantastic. I had no idea shrimp was in the pasta as we didn't see any. Chicken thigh yakitori was also very good. Very flavorful, but wished they would marinate it in the glaze that just gets brushed on. Salmon roll, tuna roll, and yaki gyoza were fine. Probably wouldn't order them again. Spicy tuna hand roll was good, but eat it quickly so the nori doesn't get soft and chewy. Unagi hand roll was fine, nothing special. Service was great, they quickly cleared empty dishes. My only con is the suggested gratuity at the bottom is calculated with tax included, meaning you're tipping on tax if you just check one. Hell would freeze over before I ever tipped on tax. That should be illegal.

Service can be a bit slow during dinner hours. Our waitress forgot about our salad until the end, so we ended up not getting it. She also missed that we noted it was a birthday celebration and forgot the candle, so we had to remind her. That said, they gave us cheesecake on the house for the wait, which was a really nice gesture and appreciated. Overall, great food and fresh fish, just expect a slower pace during busy times
