" Ramen Hajime is a fantastic spot! The ramen is flavorful, authentic, and downright comforting. I didn’t have to wait long during the early dinner hours. The ambiance is wonderfully inviting and cozy. I will be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a huge fan of ramen, but this place changed my perspective. The broth was light and flavorful, not too heavy on the palate. I enjoyed the Kiwami Shoyu with all its delicious toppings. Service was friendly, and although I think there was room for improvement in speed, the wait was worth it. I'll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ramen here is undeniably good—authentic and rich in flavor. However, I noticed the wait time just kept increasing, and I nearly gave up. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed. I went on a weekend; I recommend checking out on a weekday instead. I appreciated the vegan options they offer! " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-visit for ramen lovers! The Kiwami Tonkotsu is rich and flavorful, and the Katsu is a great appetizer. I didn’t have to wait long, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was attentive. I love the authenticity they maintain—definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually raving about food, but this ramen was unforgettable! Rich and creamy broth paired with melt-in-your-mouth chashu. I visited with my family; we all enjoyed our meals. Service was good, just slow at times, but it’s understandable given the crowd. Worth the wait, and I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried the vegan ramen and it was delightful! The flavors were vibrant and authentic. The broth was creamy and satisfying without being too heavy. The wait was about 25 minutes, which is pretty standard for weekends. However, service could use a bit of polish for a more flowing experience. All in all, I loved it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The wait can be long, but it reflects how popular this place is! I enjoyed my Kiwami Spicy Miso which was filled with delicate layers of flavor. The place has a quaint vibe, and the staff is friendly if a bit rushed. I’d recommend trying it at least once! " (*Curated Review*)
