Hanabi Ramen & Izakaya has quietly opened this week inside the new H Mart plaza off NE Loop 820 in Haltom City, bringing ramen bowls and izakaya-style small plates to the growing shopping center. The arrival adds another Asian-focused option to a development the city has been promoting as a regional draw.
Ramen, Gyoza and an Izakaya Vibe
The restaurant's online ordering page lays out a comfort-food playbook of rich, creamy tonkotsu and miso broths alongside shareables such as "crispy gyoza," suggesting a menu built for both solo noodle runs and linger-with-friends small plates, according to Toast. The same ordering page shows that Hanabi is already taking pickup orders while the rest of the plaza continues to phase in.
Part of a Rapidly Filling Plaza
Hanabi appears on the official tenant list for the 50-acre H Mart Plaza, which the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported as fully leased and anchored by an H Mart grocery store, according to Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The Star-Telegram's roundup names a long roster of bakeries, cafes and restaurants alongside Hanabi, putting the new ramen spot in the middle of a sizable Asian retail cluster.
City Shared Photos and an Announcement
Haltom City's official Facebook page posted photos of the Hanabi storefront and said the plaza is "filling up fast with new places to eat, shop, and explore," offering the city's own confirmation of the opening, per Haltom City, TX. The post serves as the public notice of the soft opening and includes interior shots that show an izakaya-inspired dining area.
How to Try It
Hanabi already appears on third-party delivery and ordering platforms, with menus and pickup/delivery listed on DoorDash and Uber Eats, according to DoorDash and Uber Eats. That makes it easy for locals to sample the ramen while the plaza finishes opening and other tenants start regular service.
Why It Matters to Locals
The arrival of Hanabi is one more signal that the H Mart project is moving from construction to daily life in Haltom City, a development trend Hoodline has been tracking this spring, including earlier coverage of new tenants like Makesy. For fans of ramen and Japanese shareables in northeast Tarrant County, the new spot brings another neighborhood option without a longer drive into Dallas or Fort Worth.
