Hanabi Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Denton, Texas

Called trying to place to go order around 8:20 no answer phone gets sent to voicemail. Drove over got here at 8:44. Asian man behind the counter w tree arm Tattoo didn't greet us and looked at us like "why are you here" asked him if we could place to go order as we tried calling earlier and they were not answering phones being sent straight to voicemail multiple times. He said we are closed w multiple people sitting inside eating. He informed us kitchen closes at 8:45 was disappointing w no reason as to why they were not answering phone besides "oh it's not working I don't know" most places when told a to go order was trying to be made and phones were not being answered would give good customer service and still sit you due to the inconvenience and this place doesn't care If they close at 9:00 they should stop serving at 9 If they close at 8:45 then they should change the times on their door and website. No customer service given disappointing experience will not be back we appreciate businesses that welcome people up until closing read more

Very good, my fiance loves it, chashu is great, great broth, the fried potato appetizer is good. Nothing bad to say but I do feel raman has a low ceiling. read more

Nice little Ramen spot. I got the spicy seafood Ramen! I guess I don't like seafood as much as i thought, because i felt like it was too seafoodie if that's a thing. Nevertheless i thought it was good i bet if you absolutely love seafood that one would be your go to. Next time I'll try something different. All in all the place was nice and i like the layout, got to bring my laptop and get some work done! read more

Hanabi Ramen - Spicy seafood Ramen - shrimp, octopus, muscles, and a lot of other stuff that will surprise you - Ramen Near Me - Denton, Texas

A little disappointed with the Okonomiyaki because usually the ingredients are mixed in with the batter but this one is just a pancake with sauce on it. Taste good, but not worth $8 for sure. The karaage was a little dry and didn't have the usual crips texture, it's closer a chicken nugget. read more

Hanabi Ramen - Okonomiyaki is pretty small for $8 - Ramen Near Me - Denton, Texas

The wife and I tried this out and were not disappointed. Waiter was helpful explaining the differences between dishes, food came quickly, and taste was beyond our expectations. Dinner here and an hour or so at the adjacent Free Play makes for a fun and inexpensive date night. We will definitely be returning. read more

Easily the worst ramen I've ever had. Last time I went their rice dishes gave me food poisoning. read more

The ambiance was neat. Food was good, but not as good as expected based on other reviews. The main reason for the low score is they use MSG. Someone in our party is allergic & we clearly misinformed. She is really suffering today. If you are sensitive to MSG, do not eat there read more

Quick service on a thursday afternoon. Our waiter named "Upen" was very attentive and welcoming. He always made sure we were okay w/ the food and filled up our drinks constantly without being much of a bother. Great waiter. Upon walking in, very nice traditional decor making it feel a bit like Japan. FOOD: Ordered the spicy seafood ramen w/ EXTRA SPICY and egg. IT WAS NOT SPICY AT ALL. Not even one bit. The broth was very creamy but lacked in "good" flavoring. It tasted super salty and I assume it is the same for other ramens too. Nothing stood out really. Expected some kick. Takoyaki was tasty and fresh though. More on the sweeter side because of the squid sauce I believe. 5 balls for 5$ which is average compared to other restaurants. I expected more from this restaurant. Seems to me like every other ramen place. But overall not too bad!(: read more

Absolutely fire. Lowkey had an existential crisis there but was entirely unrelated to the establishment! Definitely recommend. The ramen was scrumptious and the vibes were immaculate. read more

This is my boyfriend and I's favorite ramen place. We were coming here at least every week or every other week (now we are on a diet, so we can't) and we love it so much!! I get the same thing every time (baisen shoyu ramen with extra veggies) and my boyfriend quite frequently tries something new. The one small thing that can be annoying is when a different server brings us our food and doesn't ask if we need anything else. We always need chili paste for our ramen, but usually have to wait forever for our server to come check on us so we can ask for it. Not a big enough deal to stop us from coming though! read more

Came here on a date night a couple weeks back and ordered the Kara Miso Ramen. She got the Tonkotsu Ramen. Service was excellent- drinks always full and server relatively attentive and concerned with our experience. However the food was not what I was expecting. The ramen here is overwhelmed by a strong taste of what I believe is sesame. This may be something you like so it is up to you whether or not that is a deal-breaker in itself. My ramen was supposed to be "spicy" and was not at all. I couldn't tell much of a difference really between my ramen and my partner's ramen- only sesame flavor. We each ordered an extra egg in our ramen and her's were cooked perfectly with a white outside and bright yellow interior yolk. Mine, however, were quite sickly looking and were gray throughout including the yolk. The most concerning part is that the day after eating here me and my girlfriend got a terrible bout of food poisoning. I understand quality of service varies by shift- but sanitation and food safety in my experience as a food service manager is something that just doesn't change overnight. So please beware if you do try this place that they prepare your food without the food poisoning I suppose. As for me, I will not be back. Despite it being relatively cheap, the flavor was a miss for me and my partner and the cleanliness obviously wasn't up to par. read more

We originally went to Hanabi in Carrollton, and fell in love. After going a couple of times, we saw that they were opening one in our own town, and we were ECSTATIC! We actually counted down the months until it would be open. We've tried a huge range of their menu, and we have yet to find anything that we wouldn't eat again. My favorite to get is the Karami Tonkostu ramen with spicy paste on the side and extra ajitama. My fiance loves to get the Kara Miso ramen with extra chashu. We also get the chicken curry don and karikara chicken. I cannot recommend these choices enough, but everything they have is delicious. Super excited about the Godzilla challenge, but I've yet to try it. We go at least 3 times a month, and usually go next door for drinks and games, or walk around the square. Great location, wonderful food and prices, staff is sweet and helpful, and we love that they came to our town! read more

Food is ok you should go to I love sushi or Gangnam chicken instead in my opinion when I was there they were out of some menu items

Took my friend here for here birthday. I had never been but wanted to try some food that she recommend to me a while back. The restaurant is a little small, but the food is great with a fun atmosphere. read more

Ramen that feels casual and authentic. Prices were super reasonable and service was good. The three of our group each got something different and we all enjoyed our food. I will say that the promise of "potato noodles" in the dish posted did not live up for me, but the beef and veggies were delicious. 4 stars only because the shared parkIng with Free Play made it difficult to access and we walked from The Square, so might be difficult at busy times for those who can't manage remote parking. read more

Hanabi Ramen - Beef Sukiyaki - Ramen Near Me - Denton, Texas

I very much appreciate that there is a ramen shop in Denton, Texas. I have been to over a dozen ramen places in Southern California and this place was definitely top five. It does not beat any of the places in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles but that, to be frank, is hard to do. I ordered their Tonkotsu Ramen with a side of Gyu Don. The Tonkotsu was good although not very creamy as the menu specifies. That being said, still very delicious, but I would recommend adding a bit of chili paste to the broth. The ajitsuke tamago (egg in the ramen) was on point! It was cooked perfectly! Seriously, their egg was amazing; not too runny and not too hard. The Gyu Don was amazing as well. I was expecting ground beef but instead got marinated sliced beef, which was a pleasant surprise. The meat was very moist and tasty. Definitely a recommended side dish. Overall, the restaurant was a very pleasant experience and the service was good. Everyone was friendly. It is right next to an awesome barcade called Free Play as well so getting some ramen followed by gaming is a must-do. read more

Very good Ramen! Loved that you can pick 2 different ones to try! My favorite was the black garlic ramen. So flavorful! The squid legs and gyoza where also very nice and everything was reasonably priced! Service was excellent as well as the atmosphere. I was only able to take a picture of the inside because I gobbled down my ramen way too fast! I will definitely be back! read more

The ramen noodle tastes good, but I don't really like the soup though.. it tastes weird. However, everybody have different tastes so, it is still worth to try. The environment is in Japanese style, interesting menu and Good for group. read more

I was told about this place about an hour earlier in the day. I had a hankering for Pho, but a new Ramen Restaurant near Downtown changed that. Walking inside the place was very inviting and bright. There was a large party of about a dozen people who seemed to be having a great time. Since I was by myself I was directed to sit at the bar. Almost immediately I was greeted and presented with a Menu. I asked the server what her favorite Ramen was and she suggested the Baisen Miso Ramen, which I ordered. (Pics) Ramen was loaded with various Veggies and more than enough Noodles. I was sort of disappointed with the Pork Belly. It looked more like a slice of Spam than Pork Belly. The Soup was delicious being a combination of Pork Broth and Chicken Soup. Very rich and flavorful. The medium boiled eggs were done perfectly. Again, service was on point. Location is a plus as well with adequate parking, for now at least. When another Restaurant opens next door parking will be limited. Over all I liked it. Not enough to come every week but perhaps once or twice a month since it's close to the office and convenient. Another thing, there are no delivery or take out options. In that area I can only imagine how much $ is being lost. I digress, I have no dog in that fight. Again, my visit was good, no great but good. 3.5 Stars if I could. read more

This place has quick service! The environment is clean and sun lit, and the food is great. Definitely recommend.

I'm always willing to try a ramen place while traveling, and this was a good option close to I-35. It was fairly slow on a Sunday for lunch, so our server was attentive and our food came out quickly. I liked the simplicity of the decor inside as well. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen and was pleased with the amount of seafood in the bowl. It also had a good level of spice, but I could have had it a bit spicier. My husband really enjoyed the beef sukiyaki also. I'd definitely recommend as a good ramen restaurant for the area! read more

Amazing. Exceeded expectations. Good service, and amazing pork belly ramen (can't remember the name). Crowded, but that's a sign of a popular place. I enjoyed the option of communal bench seating -- made some new friends! Eat here! read more

The food was great. It tastes very authentic. I ordered korokke, Kara-age, and gyu-don. The service was great at first and the food came out really fast, but the service became horrible towards the end. Our waiter decided that flirting with one of his customers was more important than servicing us. It was very frustrating as we were on our lunch break and didn't have time to sit there all day and wait for him to finish flirting. He noticed that we were getting angry and finally came and took care of our tab. read more

Love the food and the atmosphere ill give this place 10/10 love to go back and its amazingly good service.

Two stars is kind of a pity review. Since we didn't get sick, it deserved more than one star. The soup was, basically, tasteless. The chasu seemed like roasted pork held too long. It had an odd back-palate taste that seemed like... well, roasted pork that had been held in the fridge a bit too long. Further, the fat in the chasu wasn't well rendered. The egg was overcooked and cold. We had a fried squid leg appetizer and it was OK, but uninspired. And the tea we had was like the soup, tasteless. All in all, the place is new so we'll keep watching the reviews and when fresh reviews from people who don't seem like the owner's family and friends start rolling in, we'll think about giving it another shot. I DO hope they get their act together, because Denton always needs more good restaurants. read more

We ordered ramen for takeout and all the fixings, silverware and containers were included. It was delicious! We will definitely be ordering again! read more

The issues started before we even ordered. We were in a larger party but they wanted to split us up despite having two tables that had plenty of room. We asked to be seated together and the manager just murmured under his breath and walked away. On to the food: I got the tsukemen ramen and Takoyaki. Takoyaki was very good but the tsukemen was terrible. Barely room temperature broth, egg and chachu pork were still icebox cold. The broth itself had way too much dashi with little other flavors. Dashi is all you can taste, no pork broth flavor just dashi powder. Was super excited for this but was sorely disappointed by the service and food. Guess I still have to go to Carrollton for my ramen fix. read more

I'll admit I was a little intimidated at the thought of trying this place at first. This was my first time trying real ramen ( not the .25 cent kind) and the whole experience seemed a little overwhelming. Hanabi actually proved me wrong. The waiter helped to guide me on choosing a ramen that fit the flavors I usually like and answered any questions I had about the menu. I tried the Tsukemen and while it did look a little scary, it ended up tasting AMAZING! The black garlic oil gave it the most out of this world flavor. I wasn't a big fan of the boiled egg and bamboo shoot but I feel like they're a taste I would have to get used to. After trying this the ramen has been on my mind faithfully and I am itching to go back. read more

The food was good but the wait time was insane. There was no waiting area, so about 10 people were just standing outside. They also don't offer a way to be notified via text or with a buzzer, so you have to rely on the hostess to walk outside and get you. There was nothing extraordinary about the ramen that would warrant such a wait time. read more

Great service and fantastic ambiance! The menu is very easy to read, so if your a meat loving foodie or a veggie loving vegetarian there's something on the menu for everyone! The wait ranges from 10-20 min however the staff is very prompt on turning their tables. The food is fresh made to order and the menu ranges from $5.00-12.00. It's a great place to bring family and friends! read more

Hanabi Ramen - Ramen! - Ramen Near Me - Denton, Texas

Hanabi is AMAZING!! I can't say enough about their ramen. I ordered the Spicy Seafood Ramen ($12) and it was the best thing ever. It had the perfect amount of spice and even had tiny hard-boiled quail eggs in it which I thought was hilarious and super cute. Only issue with Hanabi is the parking availability. If you go during a slow time, you'll be fine. But if you're trying to find parking during a lunch/dinner rush, you might have to park further away and walk. It isn't a huge problem, just a little inconvenient. read more

I had the Kara Miso Ramen for entrée and Takoyaki for an appetizer. Personally, I was impressed with the presentation and flavors from the Takoyaki. The Kari Miso Soup was not bad but it's wasn't great either. It was average for me. The price range for Ramen bowls are $10-$12. Small plates range from $5-$10. Staff provided great service while having a packed house. Great Atmosphere and interior design, check it out! read more

Ramen and Izakaya in Denton!! It was a treat to have an authentic bowl of ramen during our stay in Texas. At first we were not sure about eating here because it was hot outside and a hot bowl of ramen was probably a crazy idea. We walked in to refreshing air conditioning and an open airy atmosphere. Suddenly, a hot bowl of ramen sounded amazing. We tried almost every appetizer (AKA izakaya) they had. Everything was made fresh and their presentation nicely done. The food was all very good and we were impressed. We had cold ramen, hot ramen, and izakaya so authentic we forgot we were eating in Denton. A great addition to the town and happy to say we will eat here again. read more
