" Delicious vegan options with a unique twist! The vegan ramen had more depth and flavor than I anticipated. The wait was approximately 25 minutes, and while the staff was polite, I found myself longing for a bit more attention. An excellent place for non-carnivores! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great experience at Ramen Hajime, but I wish the wait was shorter. We waited about 40 minutes on a Saturday evening. The tonkotsu was rich and creamy, but the portion size felt a little small for the price. Regardless, the flavors were absolutely top-notch, and the staff was friendly. I would return again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ramen Hajime truly lives up to its reputation. The Kiwami ramen was an explosion of flavors, and the pork was succulent. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The wait was long but not unbearable, thanks to their efficient system. The service was polite, making it a pleasant dining experience overall. Highly recommend the chicken karage as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem for sure! The ramen I had was an authentic experience with bold flavors. The spicy garlic edamame was a hit as well. The wait was a little long, but the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff ensured I had everything I needed. Will be back to explore more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the Kiwami Tonkotsu and it was fantastic. The richness of the broth was what I was looking for! Staff were incredibly polite but a bit more speed could enhance the experience. The ambiance was cozy and nicely decorated—a perfect place to enjoy a delightful bowl of ramen. " (*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*)
