Hajimaru Fishtown

Went here to pick up food on a friday night (we ordered online) -- and I was a little upset that they forgot the soup that came with my ramen. How am I supposed to eat the ramen without soup? :/ Disappointed-- but I've been here before and the food was decent. Just sad that I will have to eat my tan tan ramen dry or with something else.

This is a great little spot. I was out running errands and was craving ramen and this hit the spot. The pork was really what took this above and beyond. They were quick and friendly too!

Best ramen place in Fishtown for sure. I went here on a date and really enjoyed the slow-cooked pork broth and the slight bite to the noodles. The chashu and marinated egg didn't disappoint either.Hajimaru also sells mini rice bowls as an add-on order to the ramen for only $4. If I had more room in my stomach, I would've tried it. They also had plenty of sushi rolls for people who don't want ramen or curry.The interior had an izakaya vibe to it with the wooden tables, walls, and plaques in the back. Service was prompt with orders, no complaints.

Ichiban roll ($15) and Philly roll ($9) average. Nothing special. No complaints.Friend got the Tan Tan noodles ($16) which is broth-less spicy noodles. I took a bite. It was pretty good. Could definitely taste the spice

Good food heals the soul, hajimaru is proud of their food and the stuff is very courteous. The music is a nice mix of mid 2010s and jam rock. With open windows and resin sealed Wood counter bench seats it feels what I imagine to be very authentic. Chicken was juicy, ramen was well balanced

Great place to pop in for a quick lunch! the rice bowl was super flavorful as was the gyoza. the waitress was very attentive!

Hajimaru is a not so hidden gem, right on girard ave. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the prices are reasonable and though I haven't tried the ramen yet everything I have ordered is great. Tonight I ordered the curry chicken katsu don, takoyaki and the chashu bun appetizer. 5/5

The ramen here is good, not great. Very solid for hitting that craving, though, and looks great if you're trying to show off to your friends!We ordered a bunch of different items, takoyaki, karage chicken bowl, signature ramen, curry mini rice bowl and tan tan ramen.Takoyaki was solid, hit the spot and exactly what I want in a takoyaki. The karage chicken was crunchy and we enjoyed the sauce that came with it. The chashu in signature ramen is to die for, sooo tender (maybe just lacking a bit of flavor?) and the soft boiled eggs were perfect. I would say the biggest thing missing in the ramen is that I felt it was missing the usual richness that you get with a good ramen bowl. The broth felt a bit thin for ramen. The mini curry rice bowl was also good, but I think the curry was also a tiny bit lacking flavor - maybe I should have added more salt.Overall would still dine here for a ramen craving but don't expect the best ramen you've ever had here.

Such a hidden gem! The wait staff is phenomenal. They don't serve alcohol but allow you to BYOB and there's a corner store next door. The ramen was DELICIOUS. We also had the pork gyoza and a rice bowl. Everything was so good. Would recommend!

Prepare to have your taste buds blown away! This cozy spot serves up the best ramen I've ever had, complete with the most amazing half-boiled eggs. The noodles are perfection, swimming in a broth bursting with flavor. And those eggs? Creamy, dreamy goodness! Trust me, this place is a must-visit for any ramen lover. You won't regret it! Order the Tan Tan or the signature Ramen!
