Hanabi Ramen - Carrollton

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!

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

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

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!

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

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..

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.
