Our new favorite ramen!! We got 1 combo and 1 pork and we loved both equally. Tonkotsu is my favorite ramen broth and this is just like it, but chicken based. The broth is so creamy and full of flavor, and the toppings are a perfect balance of flavors. I've never had bean sprouts or garlic chips in my ramen before but they were great additions. The eggs and meats were cooked perfectly (and I'm pretty picked about how pork is cooked). I was worried that the portion would be smaller because of the price but it's not, I was very full and satisfied at the end. Delicious flavor, super fresh, great prices, super friendly owner, and so close to home! Our new go-to for sure.

I’m not even finished with my bowl and I had to stop and leave a 5 star review. Easily some of the BEST ramen I’ve had.

This was the best Ramen my wife and I have ever had. The service was exceptional and the food even better. The owner/chef was very welcoming and friendly. The homemade broth and noodles were so good I had to finish all of it. We loved it so much we had to take out a to go order for our friend that loves Ramen. Amazing experience. Will definitely return. Best in San Diego area!

Ordered the combo and chicken paitan ramens to go. Both were delicious. Ordering was quick and efficient. Enjoyed our meal and will be back

Hajime Ramen has my highest recommendation! After living in Japan, it is challenging to find authentic tasting and flavorful ramen in the US. The noodles were cooked to the perfect tenderness, egg soft-boiled to the ideal doneness, and the broth had the savory umami taste like pork tonkotsu (except its chicken-based paitan broth). Bowls offered included pork, chicken, or both. The owner was also incredibly friendly, responsive, and very talented! Glad that I found this place so close to home, but I would travel the distance to eat it again. Yum!

Amazing. I’ve tried all the local ramens from Harumama to RakiRaki. The broth was so good that i finished it. Normally I would leave chasu pork or take it home. You can’t get that for $13 these days. Great presentation!
Hajime's chicken broth is surprisingly light and smooth. The noodles were good, and the pork topping was superb. Glad we finally got a good ramen place around here. I am definitely coming back soon.

Professional, responsive, and incredibly tasty. Broth and meat carried a lot of flavor which was accompanied by crisp, fresh produce. I was curious what this home/restaurant could accomplish, but I was not disappointed. Felt like picking up home-made ramen from a friend or family member, but the whole interaction was very professional. I will certainly visit again.

This hidden gem in Escondido is a must try! I love ramen and had to give this place a try. I usually get pork but wanted to step out of my comfort zone and get chicken instead. What intrigued me was that the broth was 100% chicken! The tonkotsu broth was very light and not heavy at all! I even finished slurping the broth, something that I usually not do!The toppings were generous and I really like the garlic chips. It adds an extra depth of sophistication. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned. The eggs were perfectly boiled too!The handsome owner with the dimple is very on time with the orders! It was still hot when I came to pick it up. Overall, it’s very good quality for its price point.

It was my first time eating this delicious bowl of ramen noodles. The noodles are hand-made, the soup is made from sweet and fat-free chicken. The pork is especially tender and well-seasoned. This is all served by the lovely, friendly owner.The absolute plus here is that the price is so cheap! From ordering to receiving the goods, it was all done very quickly. I will be back next time and many more times after.
