When I first started taking the salmon bowl to go, I asked to substitute the salad portion for spinach only and the manager said that was fine. Christopher is his name and he also said they do take cash as long as it is the exact amount being paid. He said his staff was getting that wrong telling me only credit cards were accepted. When the manager Christopher is not there, I had a horrible experience with a staff member named MIA who before even opening the door, she was standing...read full review
Waited approximately one hour to be seated. Spoiker: it was well worth that wait. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork buns. I can't decide which part was better, the noodles or the broth! The pork buns were priced just right at $8 for 2. Some of the best I've had.
You are all so lucky to have such a wonderful ramen bar in your community. I am from Maine and will be sure to stop by this establishment every chance I get once I am in town.

HiroNori Craft Ramen offers fabulous service and delicious food with generous portions at a reasonable price. The Tonkotsu and Shoyu ramen are standout dishes, with bouncy thick noodles stealing the show. Customers can also enjoy crispy chicken and crispy rice with spicy tuna. The restaurant accommodates dietary restrictions. Some customers were surprised by a mandatory 16% tip for two people, which affected their overall experience. The atmosphere is comfortable, and the menu is small but well-chosen, including dishes like fried chicken and the noodles. Service is fast and friendly, and the presentation of the food is often praised. The broth in the Tonkotsu ramen is rich but not too thick, and the pork is well marinated and soft, although some wish the slices were thinner. The restaurant adds a service charge automatically to the bill. Overall, HiroNori Craft Ramen remains a top choice for good food, efficient service, and a cozy dining experience.
