    Takoyaki and tofu
    Piggy P.

    The ambiance was very relaxing but it didn't look like they were too busy on a Friday. Our waiter was very friendly and it's a place where you order at a kiosk and they would bring the food out to you. We ordered takoyaki and tofu as appetizers and ramen as our entree. The takoyaki was good but I didnt really taste the octopus and the tofu is meh. I think the ramen broth should've been creamier since it was a tonkontsu style so I would say I had better but I did like their noodles. I am not sure if it's just a new place that just opened but they did give the ladies a bracelet and coupon card.

    Stopped in here for a mid afternoon lunch and it was the perfect low key break. You order from a tablet and pay before sitting down which made everything super smooth and efficient. We went with ramen and a few small plates and everything came out fresh and satisfying. Even with the streamlined ordering the service didn't feel impersonal at all. Our server was very attentive and even addressed us by name since you name your order at the start which was a small touch but honestly kind of impressive. The space was clean calm and relaxed especially during that mid day lull. Great spot if you want good food without the chaos or wait. Would absolutely come back for lunch again.

    Gyoza and curry ramen
    Nicole T.

    On a cold Sunday, I was craving some ramen for dinner. Umami recently opened and I was excited to try a new restaurant. It was easy to order online and pickup my order. The order was well packed and luckily it was easy to decipher which ramen belonged to whom. My only critique would be to label the ramens in case the broths do look similar. I ordered the curry ramen and was not disappointed. I wish the broth had a bit more flavor, but everything was cooked very well. The pork gyoza was also good, with the accompanying sauce being the star of the show. Hopefully the community is supporting this new business, and I'll definitely be back for another good meal.

    Fried squid.
    Gary M.

    Quick and friendly service. I don't understand why this place isn't packed. The food was hot, fresh, delicious! My dishes consisted of fried mackerel, grilled wing skewers, bacon wrapped asparagus, pork skewers, and fried squid tentacles. Everything was scrumptious, but the mackerel and asparagus were my favorites. I don't live in Fort Worth but if I did, I'd be here once a week! Come on, Ft Worth, support this local eatery. It's somewhat unique and very tasty.

    The menu has a variety of items. Many options of appetizers, sides, grilled items, Bento boxes boxes, ramen, udon and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. It is self service. This self ordering interface was easy to use. I knew what I was ordering and it included pictures. It was more convenient and than trying to remember what I wanted and explain that to a server, but a friendly server was available if I needed anything else. Service was great and quick. What I was most impressed with was the reasonable prices. I was able to try dango for the first time for only $2. We were excited about having dango. Tasted very good, almost like mochi consistency kinda sweet. They bring a glass bottle of water to the table. We ordered many items because we wanted to try several different options. I had lychee tea that was delicious !its topped with fresh lychee. The aji tempura (3 pieces of mackerel) it was my favorite. The tempura crispness and texture was perfect and the seasoning was great. We also ordered chicken karaage, yakitori wings, grilled chicken skewers, beef udon and grilled squid. I also enjoyed the different sauces that came with the food. The presentation is incredible. We were overall impressed and happy to have this new restaurant in town.

    Grilled squid - lacking flavor and was kind of tough
    Stephanie T.

    We really wanted to love this place based on the reviews, but opinions are definitely mixed. The four of us each ordered a different type of Ramen with different broth, one curry, one tonkatsu, one black garlic, and one shoyu. If we had all ordered the shoyu, I would've definitely upgraded this rating to a four. That is by far the best tasting and flavorful Ramen broth that they offer, so don't miss out on it. The rest were sort of bland and lacking a maturity to the flavor that you would expect from a really good Ramen broth. That being said, the noodles were perfect, the pork was fantastic, so they've definitely got the meat and toppings correct. We also ordered the grilled squid because we had seen so many good reviews, but in reality it lacks flavor and was kind of chewy. We took the rest home for the dog. Service was friendly though definitely expect food to take a little while longer than normal to get out to the table, and it wasn't served all at the same time. There was probably a good 10 to 15 minute wait between the first entrée that was presented versus the last entree - ambience is consistent with the restaurant that was previously there, clean, open, and Japanese themed.

    Great service, food & atmosphere!! Highly recommend this restaurant and the spicy miso!!

    Food and service was great. The vibe was amzing very relaxing would recommend to friends and family.

    Man I can't believe this place doesn't have a line wrapped around the building the ramen here is amazing

    Dragon Fruit Tea
    Lauren E.

    Absolutely DELICIOUS! I got the gyoza, miso ramen, dragon fruit tea, and green tea mochi. The service was great as well, we had a large group and the waitress remembered our names throughout the meal and made sure we all had waters, refills, and everything we needed. The spot was great, very nice decor, and the ordering process was easy and smooth. I will definitely be coming back again! Best ramen I have had in the area!!!

    The eel bowl

    A very good experience. Especially if you're a bit of an introvert. The ability to just order the food when you walk in was nice. The food was also amazing. I had the eel bowl. The ambiance similar to most Japanese restaurants but is great for lunches.

    This place was so cute and empty and it shouldn't have been !!! Me and my partner came here and not only was the food amazing but the service was friendly and convenient. You order at a kiosk but your servers still attend to you. Please get this place popping !!

    The Food is wonderful, and each meal on the menu has different unique tastes. Great service, it only took 12 minutes to get my food. Wonderful Ambiance. The atmosphere was peaceful and chill.

    A few friends and I stopped by Ichiro Izakaya Yakitori on a Saturday afternoon right when they…read moreopened at 4:30, and there was already a line forming outside. If you've been wanting to try this place, I'd definitely recommend arriving early. Parking was probably the most challenging part of the visit. There was a rummage sale happening nearby, so the area was busier than usual. They do have a designated parking lot, but it's very small and fills up quickly. Most people will likely need to rely on street parking, which took a little patience that day. The restaurant itself is tiny, but that's part of the charm. There's a bar area that seats around 10 to 12 people and only a handful of tables. We were a party of three and were seated right away, but I could see larger groups having a harder time finding space together. The tables are also on the smaller side, so once the food starts arriving things can get a little crowded. That said, the food completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken karaage was crispy and flavorful, the marinated ribeye was tender and packed with flavor, and my favorite dish of the night was easily the beef yakisoba. We each ordered a starter, three skewers, and a side that our server recommended, and every plate disappeared quickly. The atmosphere felt lively and busy, with Japanese figurines and decorations displayed throughout the restaurant. I overheard another guest mention that it reminded them of places they had visited in Japan, which made me appreciate the attention to detail even more. One thing to note - we were told they don't split bills, which wasn't a problem for our group, but it's something to know ahead of time if you're dining with friends.

    The vibes in this place were super cozy and the decor was a mix of traditional and modern Japanese…read more Be aware though, the space is smaller and the seats fill up fast! Something to know before choosing this spot is that it is tapas inspired so a majority of the items are small plates and the skewers come with one skewer per plate. Okay now for the goods, we ordered the following items: Starters Tebasaki Chicken Wings (5) Dumplings (6) Egg rolls (2) Skewers, seafood and sides Negima (chicken thigh) Scallops Shishito peppers Kamo negima (duck) Sweet Soy Ribeye Yakiton (pork belly) Kimchi bacon fried rice Naan bread The must haves that everyone should order are definitely the wings and egg rolls. The wings were almost like a Japanese style lemon pepper. Incredible and seasoned perfectly. The egg rolls had the most crunchy and perfect texture, the filling was balanced and the dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. For the skewers my favorite were the chicken thigh and pork belly. The seasoning and cook on both were spot on. The ribeye was good but it could have been cooked a little less, the duck was okay but the sauce is incredibly tart and needed a hint of sweetness and the scallops were cooked well but desperately needed some salt. The kimchi fried rice was delicious, they nailed the combo of salty bacon and kimchi with the fried egg and rice. Shishito peppers and naan were both good as well, peppers were crunchy and the naan has this incredible sticky sweet sauce on top. Our service was also great, the waiter explained the menu and even though the restaurant became busy he still maintained communication. Overall, we will absolutely be back. It's one thing to have a concept and another to execute it and they've done that. Great vibes, awesome service and delicious food.

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.

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.
