"The ramen broths at Hajime, located in a plaza on Cheshire Bridge, are flavorful enough to make you want to jump in and take a few laps in it. We usually go for the tori shiro ramen—light, elastic noodles soaking in a pork and chicken broth that tastes like it’s been slow-cooking for days. They also have vegan, seafood, and chicken-based broths. Everything you need for a chill lunch or laidback dinner with friends is here. The dining room is spacious, so there’s plenty of room to stretch out. You can post up at the bar in the corner while you sip Japanese beer and Moscow mules with yuzu juice." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
