Hanabi Ramen and Japanese Curry

Really cute Japanese restaurant near Broadway Burlingame. The ramen scene is super competitive in the Bay Area. So, while the ramen here isn't the best, it's still solid, especially for the area. The service is really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is really comfortable, mimicing an intimate ramen house in Kyoto. Our favorite spot is by the bar, where we can watch the cooks at work. The lunch menu specials on weekdays are a fantastic deal: a small bowl of ramen, plus a rice bowl, plus 2 gyoze for just $14. A steal!

Hanabi Ramen and Japanese Curry is an absolute gem. The tonkotsu ramen is perfectly on point — rich, flavorful, and comforting. The chicken karaage is incredibly juicy with the perfect crunch, and their Japanese curry is truly top-notch. Huge shoutout to Angel for the super friendly and attentive service. She made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot!

This is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is great. I highly recommend the vegetarian tantan ramen made with sesame oil; the flavor is amazing and keeps me coming back. My husband loves the Japanese curry and the regular ramen, and the spice levels are perfect. It is also very kid-friendly. My son loves the kids' ramen, edamame, and avocado rolls. The only drawback is that the restaurant is small with limited tables, so there can be a wait. It is worth it for the food.

authentic japanese experience! flavourful ramen! only thing; my mild spicy was more likely medium spicy… sushis are soo good and really generous portions! staff is so freindly and hard working! :)

We came here recently for lunch and the Ramen was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was very tasty. And the portions were quite big. We don’t live in the area, but we would love to come back sometime.
