The interior of the building is very aesthetically appealing and fits the style of food well…read more The food itself is fairly priced and was made speedily. This did not affect the quality of the food as it was very pleasing to look at as well eat. My partner and I began our meal with the karaage. At first glance they looked like fried chicken bites ,but were actually very tender and soft to chew on. The sauce with it was also very good to pair with the chicken. The ramens were packed with the flavor. Our choices were the to tonkotsu and spicy miso. The tonkotsu was super flavorful and I loved the bits off corn and I added minced pork for extra texture in the soup which was a great choice I would do again. The noodles were thinner than other ramens I have tried but still were very yummy and cooked well. The miso was a thicker soup with thicker noodles and the spiciness wasn't overwhelming. Both bowls were very full and we had left overs to save for later. Overall I enjoyed everything about the restaurant and I would recommend others to come and try it. I will definitely be back.

The only ramen spot in Fort Worth that has authentic, tasty ramen. As a ramen lover and someone…read morewho's been to a lot of ramen places throughout DFW, I must say, Hanabi manages to keep quality up there. It's not my favorite spot, but it's convenient whenever I'm at Fort Worth craving for ramen. I highly recommend this over Wabi House, and certainly over any of the ramen wannabe restaurants throughout Arlington and Euless. The good stuff: whenever I visit, staff was always welcoming, friendly and prompt. Food doesn't take a while to come out, and it's always hot and fresh. Noodles are wavy and thick, and the soup is delicious. Keep in mind their broths taste saltier than other ramen places, but I personally don't mind. The one thing I have qualms with is how they do the meat; the chashu is too chewy for my preferences. Service is always great. I'll be coming back whenever I'm around town.

Honestly, this was the first place I ever tried ramen, so it's got a bit of nostalgia for me. After…read moretrying a lot of different spots over the years, though, I can say it doesn't really hold up as the best anymore.

I don't recall what I tried at Ninja Ramen the first time I was here a few years ago, but clearly I…read moredidn't have a memorable experience since I haven't been back. That was 3 years ago though, and as of recent I came back to this place after a friend suggested we could give it another shot. I must say, while expectations are low, I was far more impressed than I thought. This place is a bit bigger than neighboring ramen spots, and our server was so interactive, funny and friendly. I like that she actually holds a conversation between me and my friend, in terms of sake recommendations, and being honest on what type of noodles she prefers (I asked her if their straight noodles are good or if I should go for the curly, and she gave me her honest opinion on both, so I went for curly.) She was able to also assist my friend in choosing a better appetizer. I love the bigger variety of drink options, from alcohol to boba milk teas. The curly noodles in the Tonkotsu Ramen was awesome, and the meat's so soft and delicious. My only qualm is that the broth to noodles ratio is a little off; too much broth and it's more watery than other broths I've tasted. Nonetheless, my experience back here went well, and I can definitely see myself coming back here with friends.

My friend loved her ramen and my favorite item was the gyoza. Vegetarian gyoza is hard to come by and I was thankful they made it. We were pleasantly surprised that Royal Tea would serve us in the Ramen restaurant. We were able to have some delicious drinks with our meal! I wasn't a fan of the red bean fish, but my friend loved them and ate both! We loved the atmosphere and design of the restaurant. We thought the vibe was very bright and lively. Our servers were both great and super helpful. We enjoyed our time greatly.

There's a rule us Asians use to quickly filter out Asian restaurants that may not be good: who are…read morethe majority of folks who are eating inside and who are the chef/cooks? This place didn't pass that test and it may be the only time in history where it proved me so wrong. When we were served the karage chicken with what appeared to be plain mayo I was seriously doubting my choice. It all changed when the ramen came out. This place is legit. They took the time to master their craft and they pay respect to what a proper bowl of ramen is. We both went for the spicy black garlic tonkatsu with differing spice levels; mild and reaper (+$1). Let's start with that -- typically all you pay for is a glob of chill oil that may or may not be spicy. This was not the case here, it added serious heat without altering the flavor. The black garlic was not burnt. The ramen had depth and umami, but could have been a but more seasoned. Eggs were cooked well and still jammy. If im ever in the area i'd be back.

I had the straight noodles instead of the curly/thicker noodles and honestly if I even come back to this restaurant I'll have to try the curly since I don't think Kintaro does their straight noodles well. Too soft and too "spaghetti" like. Hands down, the only place that does the straight noodles right is Jinya Ramen. But even so, I wasn't too fond of the broth or texture of the chashu here. Overall, the atmosphere is great. You have the option to self-order and the portions are large. Staff was friendly and nonetheless my friend and I had a great time. But unless I'm coming back here with someone who wants to eat here, I don't see myself actively choosing to be back at this spot over other ramen places anytime soon.

So we decided to get some lunch bentos and the hot stone bibimbap and a seafood korean pancake. The pancake was good a little salty but overall good for sharing. I liked my marinated spicy chicken bento and felt that it was quite filling. The hot stone bibimbap was just okay but probably because we got it with tofu and not with any other meats. There's plenty of seating inside and bar seating too. Seems like a spot where people come for lunch during work. Its not the best korean food I've had but would recommend for a lunch spot if I was near by and wanted something different than what's near by.

Convincing a car full of people to have lunch at a pho shop in the middle of 100 degree weather is…read morenot easy...but it helps when that pho shop has a good review on Yelp! My party of 6 was sat during the lunch rush with no wait, and we were quickly greeted by our server with drink orders and helpful info about the menu. There were off menu specials posted on the table, which drew in a few of us as the rest braved the warm broth that felt comparably steamy to the soupy atmostphere outside. I got the Pho Bo, which boasts a combination of three different beefs complete with a beef broth. The flavors were good, but definitely could have felt a little more developed. The typical accoutrements that come with any bowl of pho (bean sprouts, jalapeno, basil, etc.) were a bit less generous than you recieve at your mom and pop shops but that's what you expect when you go to a place that is shooting for trendy above all else. The menu has plenty of options for vegetarians and those with gluten sensitivities which is great when dining with a variety of diets and the vibe was laid back, with plenty of decor to catch your eye. I do wish I could have gone at a time when I could try their cocktails, as their descriptions were certainly intriguing! I think overall if you want a quick, no frills, lunch then you might be able to find someplace else. But if you have some time to spare and can really get into the menu, then this is a place to check out!

First night eating here. I was extremely excited to have a Korean eatery near us with a high…read morerating. On arrival I saw 4 posted signs on the door for hiring. Red flag. Basically, it tasted as if the owner is in the back running the line because his cooks left him hanging. Crappily marinated, improperly cooked meat is what we got. Who ever was on the sides and banchan were on it though. They need a raise. Also, clean your restaurant and pick a theme man. Sidenote, having the server come out to tell us without coming out yourself is lame. They apologized many times to say sorry, the owner is in the back and told me to tell you such and such: "You just don't like "our" food. It's supposed to be like that." No, pretty sure it isn't. Your marinade for your meat is not good. The star goes toward your pantry cook. The banchan was not bad, weird lineup but not bad. Why no japchaee, or radish kimchi? Also, that much mayo on steamed broccoli def wasn't my favorite. They really tried to convince us that this is how it's supposed to taste, "What do you mean it tastes sour?" I mean, your marinade has too much vinegar in it. It tastes bad. "What exactly is wrong with the galbi?" It sat in the marinade too long, the meat taste grainy- because of the pear in the marinade- or pineapple juice to each their own. It can basically cook the meat before the meat hits the pan if you leave it in there too long. You would notice this stuff during the plating process- presentations good. But if the foods bad, it's bad no matter how pretty you make it look. We paid the full bill, didn't touch the meat. Pancake was good. Gave 10% to the server, because it wasn't her fault but she didn't help the situation. Forgot to mention as well: a lady and her kids at the table next to us got her meal discounted because of the food. When I asked if it is usually better she said, yes so much better. I'm not sure who is back there but it isn't the normal cook. It's pretty bad tonight. Maybe it was a one off, like everyone has but... the idea that you can try to convince customers that maybe they're wrong and just don't know how Korean food should taste surely did leave a bad taste for us.

Gyoza to start that were nice and crispy, could have done with more than the teaspoonful of sauce we were given though. Maximum tea points, hot green tea that tasted delicious and was served in the cutest little pot I've seen in a while. It was a terrible pourer though, but the waiter warned me and put some napkins on the table to clean up. The ramen was quite disappointing, I know how spoiled I currently am with the memory of Ichibahn burned into my brain, but...these were quite pricey and not that good. The broth was lightly flavored with little depth, the beansprouts and corn (why are these in my ramen?) Moved the flavour profile even brighter and there was quite a lot of green onion. With a $5 add on for 2 small slices of extra pork that's a $20 bowl. So yes, 3 stars. They have bottled Kirin so I might be back, but I will be exploring the other menu items.
