Hajime - Review - North Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"This sister restaurant to Suwanee’s Umaido is located in a plaza off Cheshire Bridge Road, so it’s easy to miss—but that’d be a mistake. The ramen here is great. The broth is tech billionaire-level rich, flavorful, and worth the stop. And the noodles are light and springy, and when you run out, they’ll refill them. If you’re not feeling ramen, think again. That’s why you should be here. But if you want to plump up your order, the menu is full of solid options, like crispy tori karaage topped with sweet peppers. Plus, Hajime has a spacious interior and a small bar, so it's an ideal spot for a lowkey lunch or a laid-back dinner. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute Food Rundown Tori Shiro Ramen The chicken and pork broth in this bowl is deep and layered (so much so that the table condiments look untouched). It’s loaded with kale, scallions, tomatoes, and topped with crunchy fried onions—and you should definitely add the crispy chicken karaage. Seafood Ramen The broth leans briny in a good way. It comes topped with seaweed, white onions, scallions, squid, and plump shrimp. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Tori Karaage Don A dependable appetizer. The batter is crunchy while the chicken stays juicy and full of savory, garlicky flavor. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Ebi Gyoza These shrimp-stuffed dumplings are soft with a slight chew, and the gyoza sauce brings everything together with a salty punch. photo credit: Amy Sinclair" - Jacinta Howard
