*Visited April 7thMy usual ramen spot closes at 3:30 pm and reopens at 4:30pm- which caused me to find another ramen establishment. Came across Hanabi Ramen and ordered the Gyudon beef .It was like listening to a beautiful- yet technical violin concerto comprised of 3 movements:The Broth will represent the 1st mvt (Adagio)The seasonings and the tempura crumbs complementing the broth will represent the 2nd mvt (Allegro non troppo)The beef and the Udon noodles will represent the 3rd mvt (Presto)Resulting in a perfect dish, the beef reminded me of a hint of bulgogi (something I make at home) pairing very well with the broth adding such a contrast between a light sweetness and savory note. Perfectly balanced and composed I can detect there was a lot of thought put in the dish and I just loaned for more. Every taste was a new discovery and I was highly impressed. Very homey with a lot of notes and I will be back at the establishment again soon!

Ramen is great on a cold rainy day, but the real MVP hidden gem is the $8.99 chicken karaage, which is one of the top chicken dishes in town-- up there with El Pollo Rico's Peruvian chicken, GPB's fried chicken, and a couple other

Hidden ramen place you must try! Food was so good and worth the long wait due to limited seating. Must try on a cold day!

Great ramen spot. The dining room is small and they get busy quickly. The food is outstanding, so make sure to check this place out.

The master of this ramen restaurant is a retired gaming company executive, and his passion for ramen led to the opening of the ramen restaurant. One of the best ramen places in DMV, or I would say in the US.

Great selection and variety. Seating is a bit too tight.
Quick, tasty, decently priced. Appetizers are fresh and taste great. Ramen is solid too: al dente noodles, good topping options, and a decent portion. Check it out.

INCREDIBLE! the TanTan Men ramen and katsudon are a must get. Everything was delicious and easy to customize to be pescatarian or vegetarian.

I enjoyed my meal at Hanabi. I went with a co-worker for lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was great. We got everything in a timely manner. I decided to get the shrimp tempura as an appetizer and for my main meal, I decided on the chicken katsu. Everything was delicious. I would definitely visit again when in the area!
A great place to eat. One of my favorite places.
