Hajimaru Ramen - Philadelphia

This ramen is some of the best I have ever had! It includes all the ingredients I usually love, and it was well-packaged with the broth separated. So delicious!

The Hajimaru Signature Ramen was disappointingly bland. The noodles seemed stale and overcooked, and the broth lacked flavor. However, the pork belly was a standout. On the bright side, the Gyoza were perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious.

I am disappointed to say that all dishes lacked flavor, as if no spices were added at all. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

Everything they have is great and good quality. Chashu Don is one of my favorite things ever.

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.
