There's never a bad time for ramen, but it's especially welcome when the weather turns cold. Ramen Hashi is a new spot where there's only counter seating so maybe not the best place to meet a bunch of friends. My first visit was with one girlfriend on a recent chilly Tuesday at 12:30pm and we were able to get seated right away. Service was friendly and quick and after deciding what we would have (Tonkotsu for her and Shio for me), we had deep bowls of steaming noodle goodness before too long. The Shio I had is a chicken based broth seasoned with salt and named the "Chef's Recommendation" on the menu-I loved it. With four ramen choices on the menu (Shio, Shoyu, Tonkotsu, and limited quantities of Chashu Don), each order already comes with bamboo, chashu, green onion, and tamago for $9 per order. Extra toppings available for extra price: chashu, noodles, bamboo, green onion, tamago, onsen tamago, black garlic oil, and seaweed.
For a first visit, we were very satisfied and look forward to another visit to try the other ramen selections.
