Hanabi Ramen Carrollton

Went here with my fiancé while in Carrollton, I must say this place has a lovely serene, welcoming, and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a date night. We had: 1. Takoyaki: Perfectly executed, thin crispy outer layer -> custardy middle layer -> octopus cooked just right. Seasoning was on point. 2. Black Garlic Ramen: - Pork Chasiu: highlight of the dish. Balanced fat and meat, melt-in-your-mouth texture and very clean flavor. - Egg was either slightly overcooked or not left long enough in marinade for yolk to turn custardy. - Garlic oil: beautiful roasted garlic fragrance but didn’t overpower the broth at all. - Broth: Tasted a little watered down. But considering the quality of pork/chicken bones you can get in Texas, the broth is good. 3. Shoyu Ramen - Toppings are perfect like the Black Garlic Tonkotsu. - Broth: Better than the Black Garlic Tonkotsu; however, the taste katsuobushi was a little overwhelming and 1 dimensional. - There was a piece of garlic skin in my bowl.

I went here on a whim this past Wednesday, and I'm so glad I did. It was definitely difficult to pick a place at which to eat in this shopping center for the amount of good choices, but I owe it to my friend with me (without even mentioning their name, if you're reading this, thanks a ton 😊). The teriyaki chicken and edamame were delicious; the only "con" I found was just the difficulty in picking something because of how many appealing dishes Hanabi has. I'd gladly return to try more dishes on the back of excellent, caring service and reasonable prices. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area, especially if you're struggling to pick a spot as I was.

6/10. We ordered the agedashi tofu and the gyoza to start, and they brought out one of the wrong appetizers (karaage instead of agedashi tofu), and then for entrees we ordered the Tsukemen and the half/half. I ordered my Tsukemen with the hanabi black dipping broth, which was flavorful and delicious; but the half/half was supposed to be tonkotsu black and shoyu and it tasted like they gave us the wrong base for both halves (tasted like miso - overwhelmingly seaweed taste and the second tasty watery like bland tonkotsu) overall I was pleased with my Tsukemen but the incorrect half and half and the incorrect appetizers is not a good look. We probably won't be back.

One of my absolute favorite ramen places! Food and service are consistently great!

Food is pretty good. Love the interior, very cost and lovely. Has places for solo seat or table for 2+.

I went here for the first time with some friends and enjoyed the meal I had, such as the chicken teriyaki, which was very filling with the white rice. The strawberry soda was delicious, too! Great flavors, and I highly recommend it.

Came in with a few friends one very cold rainy evening and this is exactly what we needed. We were attended quickly, ramen came in hot and piping delicious. The staff were very nice, always checking up on us. The vegetarian ramen options are limited like a tomato base which I did not want and curry. I went with curry ramen, it was my first time trying it. Isn’t my favorite I would say but nonetheless really good food.

I came in with my husband and got attended real quick. We ordered our food and my miso ramen was so hot and delicious, the only downside is that it had more cabbage than ramen. My husband ordered chicken teriyaki and he said it was delicious. Overall I would highly recommend and come back!

so I went here so many times in high school when it first opened and thought it fell off, but recently went again with my boyfriend and ???? its actually rlly good ??? we got tan tan men, miso ramen, and karikara chicken, all super good (esp chicken) ‍‍‍ apparently they got brand new kitchen staff so maybe thats why but would def come back, such a throwback (sorry we demolished everythjng before taking pics, phone did not eat first)

I have actually been obsessed with Hanabi since I first discovered it about six years ago in Fort Worth. I introduced my husband to them at their Denton location and he also fell in love with them, so imagine how happy we were when we realized they also had a Carrollton location when we moved to the area! We have always been big fans of their karikara chicken. It has such a good spice level and the flavor is amazing. What's even better is we've realized they've made the portions of the chicken bigger since we had it in the past, so now we really only need one bowl to fill us up versus two. Usually we do grab extra to bring home because it is just as delicious the next day. Anytime we've brought friends they have all loved their various ramen dishes. I did recently try their fried rice, and it was pretty bland like it didn't seem to have much seasoning, which is surprising since their dishes always have so much great flavor to them. I did add soy sauce to help add some more flavor, and it did make it a bit better. I don't think that should take away from how great this place is, especially when they're known for their incredible ramen! I've always loved the style and decor of this restaurant that makes you feel like you're immersed in Japanese culture. Their service is incredible, and you always feel welcome by their staff. They're also great at getting you seated quickly if you're a small group of 2-4, but beware I've noticed their Carrollton location can get full very quickly! It's a popular area and the restaurant here is pretty small, so this place is better if it's just you swinging by for a date or with 1-3 friends. I do highly recommend trying this place out for a delicious meal!

My new favorite restaurant! The KariKara Chicken and the Tokyo Tonkotsu get a 12 out of 10 from me! This place has way more flavor than any other Ramen spot I've tried. I guess I thought they were all the same! The service was amazing and never had to ask for refills on drinks. Food came out quick. I'm just speechless. Great business!

This place had great food and the service was amazing. I will be coming here again. It's king of hidden, you definitely have to give it a try.

Had to run an errand so stopped in for a quick lunch. I was seated at the bar and was immediately asked if I was ready to order. I said no and looked at the menu. A few minutes,kater, I was ready but no o e took my order. A man sat next to me and he was asked the same thing, he said he was not ready, but a few minutes later the waiter came to take his order. I sat there for 5 more minutes, almost ready to walk out. I go to thw front where the waiter is tapping on his phone and the host asks what I want. I said I want to order. A s he says what did you order. I said nothing, I haven't been able to order anything. The waiter puts his phone away and asks what I want. I order, eat and now wait for bill. I wait, wait, wait. Now I am running late. I finally catch him and ask for the bill and he slams it on the counter. Once again, good thing I had cash. Put down a $20 and left. What is wrong with these restaurants these days. How can eating lunch be so unpleasant. I hope they shape up. BTW, they were not even busy. Maybe 3 tables and 3 people at the bar total when I was there. And, get off the phone when working. Geez.

I like the interior design/ambiance, reminds me of the traditional ramen restaurant in Japan. Food is decent here, we ordered the spicy Tokyo ramen and hanabi tsukemen - Both are delicious! We also ordered gyoza, it's very crispy and the filling is full of flavour. Quick service with a massive parking lot in front of the restaurant - although it's full when we were there. Worth to try it out if you are in the area!

We got the black tonkotsu, spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu ramen. The flavor was outstanding for the black tonkotsu. Very deep, full flavor broth. The ramen noodles were very tender. The chashu was good, but a little dry and not as tender as I've had with other ramen restaurants that had higher quality chashu. Although the broth was tasty, the temperature of the broth was not hot enough. The presentation was also ok. The egg was cooked nicely, but looked like it was beaten up a bit as it was being cut open. The spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu was tasty as well. Service was good. Good amount of seating.. Although there is a lot of parking, it's a very busy plaza..

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My partner and I come here almost weekly. I love their vegetarian ramen. It's my favorite I've ever had compared to most ramen spots in dfw. I would definitely say it's very authentic and high quality tasting food. They are also pretty quick with getting food out in a timely manner. Thank you Hanabi for always being consistent and delicious!

This shopping center has a lot of delicious choices for dining, but this one, Hanabi Ramen, came highly recommended from employees at Royce who have had an opportunity to try all. They put this place at the top of their top choices. I wanted to eat at the shop because it looks like a groovy little Asian diner with wood booths, a community table for groups or singles, and partner tables for couples. However, I had to leave, so I took my order to go. There was a special waiting area with a view to the busy parking lot, but it was nice to soak up the sun through the tinted window during this cold November day. My order was ready within 10 minutes and I was out the door. Once home, I was happy to see that the peanut sauce was securely in place in a tall plastic container. The ramen with eggs, bok choy, and meat chunks were in a separate soup like bowl also held securely in place with a lid. Flatware, chopsticks and a thick quality napkin were included so I could dive into my meal right away. I chose the Tan Tan Men which included a spicy peanut sauce. I ordered extra noodles and they did not disappoint. The noodles were super long. I had difficulty pulling out a bite full with my chopsticks because they were clumped so tightly together. This might not have been an issue if I hadn't ordered extra noodles or if I ate in house. I probably should have reheated the noodles and broth so the items would have had time to soften and loosen. However, I was hungry and the food was too good to wait. I wish there had been a little more bok choy to balance out the meat and noodles, but the flavor was lip-smacking good. I wouldn't hesitate to come here again; although, I might try a different dish. There is a picture menu posted outside of the shop as you enter the restaurant. This gave me a chance to see what was offered along with a description of ingredients in each dish and the prices. I love that they do this so you can (1) make a decision about whether you want to enter the restaurant and (2) make your decision in advance without tying up an employee waiting for you to order.

Great food and great service. Our second time here The waiters are always helpful and the food is amazing

The service is fast. They will seat you, i recommend you getting there earlier if you have a group especially on the weekends. I like the vibe in there. For an app I got fried squid and it was very hot which i love, and also got the shrimp ramen. On a cold day it is perfect

Man it has been a while. I came by for lunch and was quickly seated at a table. The service is fast and friendly, and it doesn't take long for a piping hot bowl of deliciousness is presented. One of my beefs with some ramen places, is that it doesn't come out HOT. Especially when you put a cold egg in it. Soup needs to be hot and Hanabi is getting it done. The chashu is tender and I love the bamboo and greens that give it texture. It is not very spicy but the broth is rich and flavorful.

The place is a gem, I am judging the broth by its looks and it didn't pass at all but when we tried it - it was one of the few tastiest ramen we had. The chicken karage with their sauce is somehow overwhelming for those that's not used to with asian spices - it taste more like a korean. The beef bowl was really amazing especially their rice is high quality from what it taste like. The place only have indoor seating. When you enter their place you will be greeted immediately and feel the Japan vibes. It was a really cool interior. Service was okay, nothing really fancy. Overall it was a good experience!

This is our favorite ramen place! The tomato ramen is unique and delicious! They have great sides as well.

People come for the ramen but I go for the curry (and also steal a couple bites of ramen from my sister). It's so hard to find amazing curry but I really enjoy the Karaage Curry Don. There is a little sweetness to the curry, which I thought paired well with the karaage. If you are wanting ramen, I suggest the Tsukemen

My family had lunch here this past Saturday. The decor is very nice and clean. The service was very good as well. I had the spicy seafood ramen. I thought everything about the ramen was good, the seafood, the broth as well as the noodles. Not very spicy, could have used a bit more kick for me. My daughter had the Tokyo Tonkotsu ramen and gave it a 4/5 as well. I wish there were a location in Houston (where we live) as this was better than any of the ramen restaurants we've tried so far in town.

Really good ramen and they have quick service here. I had the spicy ramen and it wasn't overly spicy. My husband did the half and half ramen and loved it! Look forward to coming back.

We went to this Ramen spot in Korea Town which is located in Carrollton, TX. It was great! They had several flavors of Ramen and many appetizers. The edamame was nicely seasoned -- I could eat a bowl of those. The Karikara Chicken was crispy and sweet, but there was way too much sauce at the bottom which made some pieces overly drenched. I had the Shrimp Ramen: two pieces of shrimp and no vegetables so I added Bok Choy which helped lighten it up. My broth was not very flavorful unfortunately. My son had the Miso Ramen and that broth was delicious! I actually added some of his to mine. The service was really good; our waiter was very patient with our kids who changed their minds and ordered random things like extra boiled eggs which he accommodated. They had modern wooden seats and tables and Japanese text/art throughout the restaurant which really added to the Asian aesthetics. If we visit this part of Texas again, I would definitely go again.

I love a really good ramen and I've had a bunch of good ones especially traveling to Japan. But this ramen I had at Hanabi is in my top 5. We went here with my husband and I got the Black Tonkotsu ramen, it a stock with black garlic oil and it has the most balanced seasoning of saltiness and garlic oil. That first slurp of that soup just explodes in my mouth. My husband always gets the spicy ramen and he loved it as well. We also ordered the fried gyoza with a non-spicy dip with chili oil. Service was also tops, it was quick and efficient and they were all nice. Ambience is cozy. They have booths and tables for big and small groups. It's quite a drive for us to Carrollton but we will definitely be back.

As a person who LOVES food. I absolutely love this Ramen restaurant! I ordered the Miso Raman and my son ordered the Black Tonkotsu Raman and Takoyaki. The miso flavors burst in your mouth. Very bold and flavorful. The Black Tonkotsu had the perfect amount of garlic oil in it. This is going to be my number one Ramen shop from now on.

I got the spicy Tokyo Tonkotsu, and it was the best ramen I've ever had! It's very flavorful, and I really liked the toppings like the eggs and bamboo shoots. I enjoyed it more than other ramen places I've been to. My only complaint is the chashu could've been better.

Nice decor, tasteless ramen. Plenty of indoor seating available. Good for groups. They have a nice decor with wooden panels. Ramen came out super quick after we ordered. I got the Black Tonkatsu ramen and it was lacking in flavor for me. The broth was very light and not flavorful like you would expext from Tonkatsu broth. It comes with two pieces of pork and the pork was also not flavored well. The ramen definitely could have been better. As a side, we also got the Chicken Karaage, which had much better flavor.

Overall a pretty average ramen experience. I have to ding two stars off for the really bad chicken karaage. It was extremely dry and had zero flavor or seasoning. I would discourage anyone from ordering it. Ramen was just ok. The chashu is bland, and the eggs were soft boiled on the harder side. The broth flavor was good: rich and hearty. Service was fine. Servers took all of our orders correctly and the food came out quickly. I would say the prices are very reasonable for the portion you get. I would consider trying the fried squid or curry bowl at a future visit.

Been here twice. First time a few weeks ago with my friends.. pretty mediocre ramen. Second time today hoping to give it another chance but the manager would've been annoyed that I wanted to sit in a booth alone... it was 4 people in there and I wasn't trying to take up much time or space but after feeling like I would annoy the manager by asking to sit at a booth I'd rather never come back.. plus it's JINYA across the street which is way better.

This is a nice place to dine when it's cold outside and you want something with a fatty broth that will make you warm. The ramen was really delicious. There are so many options on the menu for ramen. I ordered the black tonkatsu which is essentially black garlic oil. The broth was very tasty. It did taste like garlic so if that's not your thing, I would avoid it. They do not cheapen in the other ingredients added to the ramen. You get your moneys worth of meat, veggies, and eggs. The takoyaki was delicious. They're octopus appetizers but such a good starter that can be shared at the table. Overall, a very delicious meal that did not have long wait times.

I came here with a large group and the food was delicious. I had the Kara miso and it had the perfect heat. If you are looking for a yummy, cozy bowl of ramen this place will check all the boxes. The waiter we had also chased us down at the Somi Somi next door because someone dropped some cash. Incredible service and extremely kind and caring. My only critique is that I've had better pork chashu in Dallas but it's not bad here either. I like when it almost gelte in your mouth.

Omgosh this place was so good. The service was great. I love that you have the option to try two different ramen. I had the Tokyo tonkotsu and Kara miso both spicy and they were so good. I can't wait to go back here and have more ramen.

I love it. Try the fried mash potato! I love their ramen and their super clean here !

A warm welcome on a very cold day! I ordered the ramen and like others said, the egg is a bit overdone. With that said, broth was tasty and noodles were okay. My husband got the chicken curry don which was tasty and well seasoned with a good amount of chicken. Not pictured was the chicken karaage with Japanese mayo (aka Kewpie) which was delicious. The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated, the staff checked in on how we were doing often. I would recommend checking it out

I always like trying the shoyu ramen at any place I go. My friends got the Kara miso, curry, and tonkatsu. Overall, my friends and I thought it was good, but not amazing. Pros: - Came on a Friday night & didn't have to wait long - Noodles were delicious - Indoor was rly cute - waiter answered all questions Cons: - Egg was over cooked - the chasu was okay

Hanabi ramen offers something I've never seen in a ramen shop which is the ability to order a half and half bowl of a limited selection of their menu served up side-by-side in a special bowl that has 2 sections. Overall I think it's maybe a bit of a strange concept for a lone diner but it works well for reviewing a place and maybe for couples looking to share on a budget. I ended up trying my first and current favorite types: shoyu and tonkatsu ramen. The noodles, egg, and chashu are pretty split in even portions between the two broths and between the 2 it was a satisfying portion of ramen. Overall I think my current favorite the tonkatsu will be continue to maintain its top ranking. I did enjoy both though I don't think this place will dethrone my favorite ramen place for me personally. I really was surprised how much I enjoyed this strange split bowl format. I just wish they had more than 25% percent of the menu available to be able to more quickly work my way through the menu in search of new favorites. Their black tonkatsu, curry, and butter garlic were all tempting but not available in the half and half. They also have a pretty good looking menu of small plates in addition to ramen so I'll like be back to try those in the future as well. I'd recommend trying the half and half for the novelty but not to let it limit your future choices. There was plenty of seating on a weekday for lunch and service was good as well. Hanabi Ramen is a nice addition to the neighborhood worth trying if you are in the area and craving a bowl (or 2) of ramen.

Worst ramen you could ever have. Their broth has little to no flavoring, I felt like I was drinking water. Their pork belly had no seasoning and it looked like it was just boiled. The noodles were the highlight of the dish though. The pork gyoza was soggy despite it being fried. The service was good though; they were checking on our table on occasion. The restaurant environment was lovely. The wood panels between the tables gives a form of privacy without taking out the socialization. I would suggest you go over to Kurobuta in front of H Mart for a better bowl of ramen.

Food was amazing as always 10 out of 10 we've been coming here for a little over a year now and it hits the spot! First time coming on a Monday and our server misty was just phenomenal!! The vibe is nice and it's cool if you want to beat the heat !! Also the gyoza and green tea(hot) was the absolute best!

Food was exquisite, never a disappointment. Service was good, everything came out pretty quickly. The Ambiance was fun and inviting

I have mixed feelings about our meal here, so I'm going in the middle with the rating. First the good stuff. We ordered takeout on a Saturday night, and everything came out hot and packaged well. The korokke and the gyoza were very good. My husband ordered the black garlic tonkotsu, and said it was pretty good, but not the most flavorful he'd had. The not so good.. I ordered the curry ramen and it was so spicy I couldn't even eat it. Now, I'm not a wimp when it comes to spice, so I was surprised considering it wasn't even listed as being spicy on the menu. It also had almost none of the veggies listed in the menu, a few carrots and a couple bits of cabbage. Pretty disappointing to say the least. Overall, I'm not sure it would be worth a return trip with so many other ramen places near by, but maybe we will try it again sometime.

I enjoyed this quaint place in Carrollton. To my surprise the katsu was cooked well & the curry was very tasty (not salty like alot of other places). I was pleased with the pricing of both dishes. The tofu was a soggier than most places, but maybe that's the Japanese style?‍ I like my tofu a little crispier. I will definitely go back again to try the ramen &/or other dishes. Oishiikatta!!

I've gotten the ramen as Togo before but inside the restaurant is way better. It's super cute with wooden booths that reminds me of street food. There's a wait sometimes when I go but I think it's worth it. The ramen is so good. The broth is flavorful and the pork is really good. Perfect for a winter day! I've gotten the black pork ramen before as well and it's a good amount of garlic!

One of my fav ramen spots!! Miso ramen and add a little spice!!! Decent sizes! And good eggs!

The ramen here is very good! I ordered the Agedashi tofu as a side dish and it was spot on. Nice decor inside and it's always busy. Average pricing and well worth it. Expect a wait if you are coming during the evening times on the weekends.

Really good food especially in the colder months..the ramen broth is so rich, flavorful & warming. Service is so quick & the workers are friendly. I love how you can try 2 different kinds with the half&half bowl I've never seen a place offer that before. I got the spicy tonkatsu which wasnt really spicy but the broth was really rich vs the miso which is lighter & more liquidy but both were equally flavorful. The ten don rice was good too, it was crispy and had good flavor. I highly recommend coming here for a quick meal that will warm your soul!

Wonderfully flavorful food! I got the half n half with black tomkotsu and Kara miso which is slightly spicy but just enough to make it flavorful, I went from black to Kara and back again and could still taste the blacks flavor just as cleanly even after tasting the spicy! I love the squid head crunch and the takoyaki was surprisingly tender. The portion of the half n half is enough for a full serving of each so I brought one home and it was good the next day. Air fried the squid and takoyaki left overs and it's good! Will be craving until I come back.

It was great, the ambiance was really peaceful and nice, I ordered the chicken curry don and it had to have been the best curry I've ever eaten, the waiter was really nice and friendly, 10/10 (in my opinion). Will definitely be back soon!

It was cold the day I visited, so I decided to have Ramen. There was a little of a wait since it was the weekend, but didn't have to wait very long. The restaurant was very nice and clean. The staff was nice and they provided can't service. I had the Karo Miso and it was so good.

My wife and I came here for a late lunch. The food tasted okay. The atmosphere was nice. Our server Jenni P. was courteous and helpful.

Fast service and presentation of food. The servers are great -- pleasant and attentive. Chefs are behind the counter and you see them working it. It's not a big space, but it's efficient, and works with the fast service. Booths on the sides, picnic-ish table seating in the middle, and some bar seating. Spicy tonkotsu and miso ramen are my favorites in terms of flavor. You can also order a half and half where there is a divider in your bowl so you can have 2 different broths. Rice dish wise, the pork katsu curry don is quite nice, though sometimes can be too salty. Pickled ginger served with it helps to cut the salt. Agedashi tofu, shrimp shumai, and gyoza are our go-to appetizers. The fried squid legs are good with the mayo for dipping if you're in a greasy mood. Edamame -- can't go wrong with that. And the potato croquettes (korrokke) are fun.

I came here for lunch yesterday. I had shrimp ramen and it was very goood! The broth was light but it was flavorful with shrimp dashi. Nice decor inside and good amount of seating. All the staffs were very welcoming! I'd def come back!!

Cute place but very slow service My favorite thing is that you can do two half portions of diff ones which is my face bc you can try more and it's different tastes. I like the black garlic ramen the best. The soft boiled egg is delicious but I do wish they put in fish cake Naruto

I loveddd this place. They had the best korokke, which are stuffed potato cutlets deep fried in panko crumbs, and the sauce with them was amazinggg. The atmosphere was really nice and it seemed like everyone was enjoying the food. Our server was the sweetest, I initially ordered a ramen broth I was unsure about and she changed it for me at no cost when I told her I didn't like it. They had a nice miso based veggie broth ramen but it definitely needed a lot more chilli for me to enjoy it. It's a really nice spot in Carrollton and I would definitely recommend it!

10 out of 10!! Service is amazing! This is the best Ramen this side of Denton! Each time I've visit this location, no matter what weekday or weekend, the food is always fresh and hot! The environment is pleasure and the greeter and servers are very attentive and polite. Even while their system internet being down due to the storm. They were very innovative to keep their customers happy by offering cash and Zelle payment. If you want excellent ramen with great service, visit Hanabi Ramen. Thank me later because you won't regret it!
