My go to ramen spot in Japantown, I appreciate how they have plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating and minimal wait times every time I've been so far. Located right across from the Japan Center on a street with a number of other restaurants. I love their Hamaguri ramen (and adding the chili powder at the table to it), the serving of clams is always so satisfying and I love how it goes with the light dashi broth of the dish. read more

HINODEYA Ramen Japantown - Hamaguri ramen - Ramen Near Me - San Francisco, California

The search for good ramen in San Francisco has always got me going to one particular part of the city. Japantown has many places with good ramen and it's sometimes depends on which flavors you are seeking. Some like their ramen salty like some in SF. There is a dependable place in San Francisco which has been making good flavored ramen in the home of the rising sun Japan since 1885. This location is the first US location and it's been on Buchanan street in San Francisco for a decade and it's called Hinodeya. On a Japantown stroll I landed at Hinodeya. This location has indoor and outside seating. Hinodeya does not offer any sushi, poke, or sashimi and it's strictly focused on ramen. I chose to have my ramen inside just in case some birdies drop something on my ramen from the sky. The menu has lots of ramen choices like their classic Dashi ramen and also their Tokyo Duck ramen. I decided to stick my regular order of the Umami Tonkatsu Dashi ramen with a pork cutlet , shittake, egg, and corn. The noodles were soft and had a descent pull to them and they were slurpable. The broth was tasty and not too salty like some in SF. Overall a consistent place serving you traditional ramen that started in 1885 from the land of the rising sun. There is many items to choose from at Hinodeya you be doing some menu "reading" a good place for a "social meeting "good for indoor and outdoor "seating" Hinodeya is the place in Japantown for drinking and "eating" At Hinodeya some are doing some noodle "slurping "some show their appreciation for their meal like some on my social media by "burping "because all the Ramen flavors blended together are some how" working "people are outside hanging out yapping and birdies in SF are "chirping " read more

HINODEYA Ramen has been one of the more popular ramen spots in San Francisco's Japantown for a while, and a lot of people recommend it whenever ramen in the area comes up, so I finally decided to give it a try. Overall, I thought it was good and definitely worth trying, but not necessarily mind-blowing or unforgettable. It's the kind of place that delivers a solid bowl of ramen, though the high expectations probably made it feel a little less impressive than I anticipated. The restaurant itself has a nice modern Japanese atmosphere, and it was pretty busy when we went. There was already a line outside, so it definitely seems like one of the more popular spots in Japantown. Service and table turnover were both fairly efficient, so the overall experience felt smooth despite the crowd. Besides their signature ramen, I also tried the asari ramen, which honestly ended up being the bowl that stood out more to me. They were generous with the clams, and the broth had a light seafood sweetness that made it feel very comforting and refreshing compared to heavier tonkotsu-style ramen. Especially on a colder day, the clam-based broth felt warm and satisfying without being overly rich. The noodles had a good texture, and overall the flavors worked well together. That said, while everything tasted good and the quality was clearly there, I never really had that "wow, this is amazing" moment. Maybe it's because San Francisco has so many strong ramen spots now, or maybe because I had heard so many recommendations beforehand, but after finishing the meal, it felt more like a very solid and reliable ramen shop rather than one that completely blew me away. I do think people who prefer lighter dashi-style broths will probably enjoy this place more than those who mainly like very thick, rich tonkotsu ramen. As a stop during a day in Japantown, it's still a great choice, and I can absolutely understand why it stays so popular. For me personally though, it was more "consistently good" than truly unforgettable. read more

Cozy space inside -- lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Good spot for bigger groups too. The menu here is more limited than the hinodeya on Chestnut, but I tried the vegan creamy ramen today and it was so good! It's a soy milk based broth but the flavor is very rich and I loved the kale & sweet tofu skins. The ramen is also made of spinach and has a thicker consistency/lots of chew. The portions are always huge and service is very quick and efficient. It does get pretty loud inside when packed but the vibe is lively and bright. read more

This was honestly one of the most disappointing ramen experiences I've had. I ordered the duck ramen, which was nearly $40, and it was not worth the price. The duck tasted mostly like burnt seasoning, and the broth was surprisingly bland and lacked the depth and flavor you'd expect from a good bowl of ramen. The karaage was actually the best part of the meal. The service didn't help the experience either. After we had already been seated and settled in, we were asked to move to another table to accommodate a larger group. While we agreed, it was inconvenient and not something you expect after you've already gotten comfortable. The restaurant was also extremely loud, making it difficult to enjoy the meal or conversation. To top it off, the end of the experience felt rushed and unfriendly. The waitress came over, handed us the payment device and bill without asking how the food was or whether we needed anything else. It felt more like we were being rushed out than treated as guests. For the price, quality of food, and overall service, I left very disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

I haven't been to ramen in this area in a long time. This spot is across from a spot I used to frequent and though this place was familiar in name- I wasn't sure with whether this place has been acquired by someone other than it's historical legacy(which is common these days and then the quality immediately suffers with "saving money " =lower quality food. Such a bummer-so I wasn't sure & nervous. The combinations were kind of limited too. I tend to be a miso or tantan ramen person. The TanTan (cover picture)had a bunch of stuff I didn't want- spicy ground pork and something else..the miso ramen only came in spicy or spicy with corn. I was torn- but it was a cold rainy day and I needed to warm up. So I just went with the regular spicy Miso Ramen. (They said it's not too spicy)-with corn is + $2 So it came- and was so delicious! I think I get in my head of making my own ramen and those costs- what you forget is a well built broth! (Which this was.) On the table is this jar of Crunchy fried garlic and something-so delicious-I kept adding it. Was super happy and satisfied! The lady checking me out- with the bill was from Osaka to which we were both surprised-I am from nearby. So a good laugh- but i didn't ask if it's still Japanese owned. When I entered it was pretty empty to where one can't tell if it a local busy spot like my last place I used to go. But in my wait time and eating- the place was Full! They beat the drum each time people enter. I sat near the front door so my view was the front door and a window to the outside. Inside seemed cozier. I recommend that- the cold air keeps hitting you where I sat. They only offered me the front little table or I had to sit at the counter-which doesn't suit me. But-It was totally delicious- the on table toppings adds an extra 1/2 to full star for me. read more

Not a bad place for ramen. Located near japantown. You get an option to sit outside or inside. I got the spicy miso ramen which is their popular ramen. It wasn't that spicy unless you request to be more spicy. Broth has tasty. Comes with two pork, half an egg, some bamboo, and green onion. I do like the texture of their noodle. Food came out reasonable time. Price is anywhere from 18 to 21ish or more depending on what ramen you get. Also got the takoiyai, come in 4 pieces for $8 or $9. read more

I went with a group of about 10 people at around 8pm and they were so nice and accomodating of our large group. The menu is not large, but we still had trouble deciding what we wanted because everything looked do good! I got the vegetarian ramen and the broth is really what makes it. It was excellent, and the whole table was very happy with what we ordered. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Always love the ramen here! It's so rich with flavor. The chashu was a nice, thick cut of pork and noodles were perfect. Unfortunately, I felt my soup was slightly too salty that day.

Love Hinodeya but more than once, including today, I ordered crispy kale with my ramen, got charged for it, but didn't receive it. Also, tried the spicy miso ramen this time, and as others have noted, it's not really spicy. Please don't let success spoil you Hinodeya! read more

I have a fond memory of eating spicy miso ramen here a couple years ago and loving it, so I was excited to come back and order a spicy miso ramen again. Unfortunately, the ramen noodles were too soft for my liking. There was no chew or bite, it was soft. That's a huge no-no for me when it comes to ramen. On the bright side, the broth was delicious and I have no negative things to say about the broth! It's worth a try, but hopefully you get chewy noodles when you go (unless you like soft noodles, then I hope you get soft noodles). Service was good, the waitresses were nice. read more

I came here with a group of 6 so we came early anticipating a little bit of a wait. We got very lucky, or perhaps just reaped the benefits of being there early, but we were seated as soon as we arrived. We ordered gyozas and fried oysters since I'm an oyster fan. The apps were cooked perfectly, but the fried oysters were a tad bit too greasy. I went with the house ramen after being torn between this or the spicy miso. The restaurant already spicy seasoning and chili flakes on the table so I went with adding my own preferred level of spice. The ramen was delicious and hearty. The chashu pork is perfectly tender. It's still not the best ramen I've ever had, but it's memorable enough to recommend to friends visiting SF. We also ended the dinner with mochi ice cream. It was delicious! read more

Great service, we were able to dine in with a large party of 7 under no reservation. The table was ready within a couple of minutes. The ambiance isn't anything special but it's in the cute plaza across the mall in Japantown. I enjoyed my vegan ramen with spinach noodles and I'm a kale lover, it had loads of Kale + seaweed, inari tofu, and calabaza. Shishito peppers were a nice shareable bite. Overall, I liked my experience but I prefer Marufuku! Just a preference hehe. Big difference is a shorter wait time, at least this location. read more

I've been here a few times and it's a pretty good ramen spot but there are definitely better out there. Nice thing is it's right in the center of Japantown with lots of seating inside and outside. When we came for lunch on a Friday service was fast and there were a lot of staff working. I got the chicken umami ramen with spinach noodles. Broth was hearty and clean. Chicken was tender and soft. Spicy miso ramen was okay. Chicken karaage and green gyoza was also mid. I feel the quality is not as good as it used to be read more

UPDATE: The owner reached out to us shortly after our visit and handled the situation very professionally. They not only refunded the ramen with the issue but generously refunded the entire meal for our party. I truly appreciate the follow-up, accountability, and care--it made a big difference. I came to Hinodeya Ramen today with my partner, and this visit was really disappointing, especially considering I've been coming here for years. On a positive note, my Tokyo Duck ramen was actually very good, great portion and rich, flavorful broth. We also had gyoza and hot sake, which were enjoyable. Ambiance was a bit noisy. However, my partner ordered the beef sukiyaki ramen, and when it came out, there was a thick, short, wavy hair in the bowl, clearly not something that should ever be in food. This is a serious contamination issue. We tried to get our server's attention, and I understand it was busy, but being busy is not an excuse when it comes to food safety. Eventually, another server came over. We showed him the issue, expecting at least a proper apology or some explanation of what happened. Instead, he just took the bowl away and said a quick "I'm sorry" no explanation, no reassurance, nothing. They brought out a new bowl of ramen, but at that point, the experience was already ruined. It's hard to continue eating normally after something like that, it honestly just stays in your mind. What makes this more frustrating is that I've been here many times before with friends, family, and coworkers, and when everything goes right, it's great. But when something goes wrong, the response is just a simple "sorry" with no accountability or communication. Even on my last visit a few months ago, the broth was bland and the response was the same just "I'm sorry." At a minimum, for an issue this serious, there should be clear communication, reassurance about food safety, and a more professional response. Because of both past and current experiences, I don't think I'll be coming back. I really hope they improve their service and train staff to handle serious situations like this more appropriately. read more

Flavourful broth and chewy bouncy noodles! Vegan yuzu ramen had a lovely yuzu smell but wasn't overpowering, it made the broth refreshing. Tonkatsu ramen was great as well, just wish the tonkatsu came in a side dish so it doesn't get too soggy towards the end. House ramen has great chashu too. read more

Grabbed dinner here on a weeknight. There's indoor and outdoor seating available, though we opted for indoor to avoid the cold (there's heaters outside though). Upon being seated, we were given menus and water. You can either order with the server or scan the QR code (you can pay via the same method so you dont have to deal with splitting the check). A few people in our group were vegetarian so they got creamy vegan and the clam ramen. My partner got the spicy miso butter corn ramen with extra noodles on the side. I split the dish with him since I wasn't too hungry and it was a good amount. Chashu was perfectly soft and fatty. Takoyaki was very mid, probably one of the worst I've had in the city. Texturally was just mushy and flavor wise honestly only tasted like sauce. Bonito flakes seemed like they were all the small leftover pieces at the bottom of a bag. read more

This is one of our go-to ramen spots in San Francisco. We discovered the city location first a few years ago, but we've also checked out their Newark branch. We were in SF Japantown one evening, and decided to place a takeout order. By the time we walked just two blocks to the restaurant, the food was already waiting for us! The takeout orders are just to the left when you walk in. However, a staff member will need to hand it to you. The gentleman handling pickups that evening was incredibly welcoming and appreciative. I was shocked that the order was ready in under 10 minutes, and everything was still piping hot and delicious by the time we got home. I always order the Hamaguri Ramen with littleneck clams. I was shocked by the portion size this time...literally counted 26 clams! The buttery dashi broth was so flavorful and light, and the noodles had that ideal, al dente chew. You have the option of swapping out their regular noodles with spinach noodles for no charge. The Vegan Creamy Ramen is another hit with our family, you'd never guess it's plant-based...and I'm not even vegan or vegetarian. The rich shiitake mushroom dashi broth is the perfect base the dish, and it comes loaded with toppings: four generous pieces of inari, crispy kale, nori, bell peppers, and Kabocha squash. We always order extra noodles since there's usually a good amount of broth leftover. This makes for a pleasant leftover meal. The dining area was very spacious with even more tables just outside the restaurant. (see my photo of the restaurant front) Given it's already fall, there weren't many outdoor diners. However, it's nice to know there's an option to sit outside as this place fills up quickly at dinner time, especially on the weekends. A warm bowl of ramen would be perfect for the cool SF evenings! read more

I've had this spot on my radar for a while. It was probably listed on a top ramen of bay area list or something. This is a solid bowl of ramen. The service is good. The highlight was really the spicy katsu appetizer. It was amazing all over, the flavor, the texture. So crispy! We were here during the start of fall 2025, a warm bowl of ramen for lunch is just what I needed. It's expensive to run a restaurant in this city. Lunch for 2 with a shared appetizer and 2 soft drinks + tip was $80. I'm glad I tried it. read more

I was in the area and craving ramen, and my friend wanted to try this place, so we came here for the first time. We walked in at 12:30 and were seated right away. The place was half empty during a Thursday lunch hour, so I was a bit skeptical about their ramen. I ordered the Hinodeya ramen. The taste was okay, and the portion was a bit small for $19.55. Free parking is hard to find in this area unless you're willing to circle the blocks or pay for garage parking. This place isn't at the top of my list, but I'd come back if others in my group wanted to. If it were just me, I wouldn't, since there are so many other options nearby. If you haven't tried this place before, I encourage you to give it a shot--while the flavor didn't quite suit my taste buds, it might fit yours. read more

I had their clam ramen last year and haven't stopped thinking about it since. It was so good that we grabbed a bowl as soon as our plane touched down this trip. I'm already on my second bowl in 2 days. This time I tried the Japan town location. Financial district location has better vibe but the quality is just as good at either. The broth is light, clean and packed with flavor, and the clams are always fresh and generous. Safe to say I'll probably be eating this every day until we leave. Some cravings just don't quit. read more

Overrated Maybe there is something good on the menu...based off my experience the house ramen was lacking flavor. Watered down broth 0 to no flavor. Super disappointing. Gave me a dried up piece of meat was not even a full circle. And another not full circle piece. The piece I was given after asking for a less dried put piece was stellar like the pictures. Very disappointed server and chefs did not care about the quality control. I looked around and other ramens looked more loved. The pork had good flavor. However the broth was so bland that the flavor disappeared quickly. I like the noodle texture was fresh. The inside was packed. I really am not sure what the hype about. Maybe was popular because it is open late. Waste of money. read more

One of my favorite ramen spots in the Bay Area. The broth is light which is the best part. I also love the thicker noodles. I usually order the hamaguri clam ramen. It comes with so many clams! This is the only spot I know that also makes a clam ramen. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This is my all-time favorite ramen spot! I wish they had a location in Las Vegas where I'm from, but every time I'm in San Francisco, you already know I'm stopping by. The Spicy Miso Butter Corn Ramen is a solid 100/10, absolute fire. The broth is rich, buttery, and packed with flavor. Despite the name, it's not super spicy, but they've got chili powder on the tables if you want to turn up the heat (plus crunchy friend garlic, yum)! I've also tried the clams ramen bowl, I love seafood and can confidently say it's also a 10/10! The only thing I don't recommend is the takoyaki appetizer, it lacked flavor & they were a bit cold. The staff is super friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure you're good. The food comes out so fast (I went to the restroom & when I came back, by ramen was already on the table)! There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Parking, like most places in San Francisco (especially Japantown), can be a little tricky, but honestly it's worth it. Make the trip. read more

I remember when Hinodeya first opened in the Bay Area in 2016. It was unique with its dashi-based ramen which felt much lighter than the plethora of tonkotsu ramen in the Bay Area. Since then, I've been back here multiple times over the years and I'm sad to say that the quality has degraded over time and most particularly post COVID. Perhaps nostalgia has made me think the ramen to be better in the past, but during my most recent visit last month (Fleet week, I think), I felt that the dashi broth was not as flavourful as it had been in the past and the chashu pork slices did not taste or feel fresh. In fact, I felt that there was an odor to the meat that was reminiscent of pork that might've been a day old perhaps. Amongst their side order, the one thing I can praise highly is the kaki-fry. The oysters do taste very fresh and the fry on them is perfect and does not make the oyster meat feel rubbery. The tori-karaage and gyoza are good, but I don't think they particularly stand out when compared to other restaurants that serve these dishes. Food: 2.8/5 Service: 3.5/5 Cost Performance: 3.3/5 read more

Update. After eight years, soooo many ramen places have opened in the Bay Area. We did try a lot of them, but we always come back to Hinodeya. We like the dashi broth, much lighter than most broths. I am especially a fan of the complimentary fried garlic that I bought a big container to bring home! Hinodeya menu has extended immensely, with many many more types to accommodate more tastes. And Hinodeya has gained a new fan: my 10 year-old granddaughter. She loves the clams ramen here!! And she enjoys stacking the empty shells after eating them. And she likes that there is one lady server who recognized her when she comes, " she remembers me!! " read more

Ramen is great anytime of the day. Place contact information for waitlist, the lines moves pretty quick, it was 10 minutes (table of 2). Has indoor and outdoor seating which is really nice. Dashi ramen has a lighter broth, it contains bonito skipjack tuna and seaweed. Scan QR code to order food, the food arrives pretty quick. The restaurant is packed, but the environment is really put together nicely. The one thing I did not like was that you need to pay for different spice level (has 6 tiers, ranges from 50 cents to $5, but I think level 2 - level 3 should be included with the price. Level 2 and 3 tasted the exact same in spice. Hinodeya ramen with level 2 spice ($17 + $0.50, $21 after tips and tax, the noodles were lovely, super chewy and twirly. The chaosiu is tender and flavorful. read more

Tourists trap? I feel like the best ramen is anywhere but Japantown. My husband gave it 2/5 and I would give it 3/5. The price is a bit much for the quality. I ordered the house ramen ($17) and spicy level costs extra, like what?! Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai restaurant just put the whole chili oil on the side for you to go at it. Anyway, I picked level 3 spiciness ($1). I do like the chewy noodles and the broth. But potentially MSG because I got really thirsty. Flavor was ok, not outstanding. My husband ordered the fancy ramen which I forgot the name, but it's $27, and he chose level 2 spiciness ($0.5). And compared to house ramen, it has two mushrooms, some corn, a piece of butter, and the fried pork chop (Tonkatsu) on top. The broth and noodle are same as the house ramen. He didn't enjoy it, "if I am paying $27 for this ramen, it better 'wow' me, but it didn't." His broth is relatively plain compared to mine (surprised that a little more spiciness can really make a different). And the Tonkatsu has no flavor. He spoke to our server, and she offered a side Tonkatsu with dressings on it. Yet, it was very thin and a bit burned. Cannot tell if it's because of the complimentary nature or if it's the same if you order one on the side as an appetizer. So the food quality don't really deserve the price tag. We sat outdoor, it has sufficient space heaters. read more

Downgrading from 5 stars to 4 not because of a change in food but because of a change in service. They used to have an innovative QR code system for ordering food. This meant the food got served quickly - and when we were done, we could leave immediate because we'd already paid. For some inexplicable reason, they eliminated the system, slowing down the service significantly. Hope they switch back to the old system, because we love the ramen (creamy vegan and yuzu zen). read more

Friend was craving a vegan ramen so we went. There have two different kinds of vegan ramen so we had one each, he got the vegan creamy which I tired and it had lots of flavor. I went with the vegan zen which is advertised as "light & healthy" but I found it very heavy with way too much oil, the ramen just sit in my throat and was not feeling it at all. Very salty as well. It was an ok place but I will not be going back there, the food arrived almost instantly after we ordered but once our food was served, the waitress did not check on us at all and place was not busy at all. Outside sitting was cool so you can people watch. CC accepted. read more
