    Fried Oyster
    Grace H.

    Good ramen spot! Located in a small lot with limited parking but local streets nearby. The restaurant is a little small but it looks like they're currently doing some construction. The restaurant was clean and had a good atmosphere. We ordered two spicy miso ramen and fried oysters. Our ramen came out first and I got spicy level 4 and my husband got 3. It wasn't spicy in our opinions but it was delicious nonetheless. Came with two slices of chashu and plenty of noodles. Wouldn't say it was anything extraordinary but a good ramen overall. The fried oysters were amazing and came with a Donkatsu tasting sauce. Not worth $11 though. It was piping hot and came with 5 small pieces. Overall, decent ramen spot. Think for the area it's good but definitely better spots out there. Service was good as well.

    This is a big milestone.. as this is my ramen review #100!! I'm officially an obsessed Ramen Sheriff! I should've had way more since I was in Japan for a month, but I was just too busy enjoying myself. Sorry not sorry =P Now that I'm back home instead of walking 20k miles a day in the streets of Tokyo, I'm back to journaling the ramen bowls here. I really liked the wheat noodles here, this was the star. Very chewy and al dente. The broth for the house ramen was very nice, flavorful light dashi, really enjoyed it. The noodles and soup are done well in Hinodeya. My taste in ramen has evolved to lighter broths, so I appreciate the flavorful but light dashi broth here rather than the typical heavy tonkatsu broths they do here around the bay. The toppings however could be better. The chasu was tougher than I'd like, and the soft boiled egg was overcooked on the bottom. They both lacked flavor and could have more umami as well. My fiance got the clam ramen and they were pretty generous with the clams, but he thought it was okay. Service was very good. I was a little weary since the QR code to order asked for tip in the beginning of your order, which was weird. But it was great that they pulled through. Food came out instantly, minutes of ordering, and they were very prompt with requests. Ambiance was loud since it's a small restaurant. Especially when there are families with little ones. Overall, good/fine place for a casual ramen eatery. Nothing to rave about but decent to satisfy your ramen cravings, especially for light broths or clams.

    This place was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. We came at around 12:30pm on a Sunday and we were lucky to be seated right away. The whole place was packed with people. It's a small place, but they were able to position all the tables and chairs so that there's room to move around. Ordering was convenient. We were able to scan the menu at our table and paid quickly remotely. Our food came out on a timely manner. We were able to try the Clam ramen, Hinodeya ramen, and the Tonkatsu. They were all delicious and very much to our liking. Presentation is something i noticed they take pride in. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly, the decorations on the front entrance is what lured us in. The tables all had a tiny lamp that you can turn on and off. All the servers were wearing coordinated attire with the restaurant logo on it. They were all attentive to our needs and constantly filled up our water and took empty dish away when the table started to feel tight/crowded. All Ramen we tried had the WOW bursting with flavors. I highly recommend this place.

    Came here for lunch as we were in the area. This would be my 4th Hinodeya. I like how they like to be a small parking lot. The restaurant itself is decently sized with the same color scheme as the others. Around 12:10pm on a Sunday, easy to get a table. QR code to order and pay. Waiters bring out food. I had to ask twice for toddler utensil and also a bowl. HINODEYA "House" Ramen - I got this and shared with my toddler. Plenty of noodles and I loved the toppings. The noodles were cooked just right. SPICY MISO Ramen - My husband got this. He was pretty disappointed as the two pieces of cha Sui was super fatty. Chicken Karaage - Good flavor but the breading was thick. Umami Brussel Sprouts - Good flavor but the Brussels were undercooked. Two unisex bathrooms in the back - clean.

    I fell in love with hinodeya when I first tried it out in San Jose. I love their restaurants. It's this cozy Japanese style restaurants. This location specifically has an outdoor patio as well so it's pretty spacious. You have two options to order, one via the QR code and/or with the servers. We ordered via the QR code and ordered the edamame sticks for our appetizer. I would say the edamame sticks need a little bit more salt but the consistency was perfect. I think the pot of hot teat they have is also pretty cute and their tea leaves were actually pretty good. I would say their ramen is more on the pricier side but it's definitely a tasty ramen. We ordered the tonkatsu and house ramen. And both ramen was really good. Their broth is probably one of the best broths I've ever had for ramen and their proteins are also made very well. The tonkutsu was cooked perfectly and the pork had great consistency. The servers would check on you multiple times which I appreciate and they definitely paid attention to their tables. They made sure everything was clean, everyone greeted you and over all just an amazing time and great food.

    ABURI CHEESE SPICY MISO Ramen
    Annie C.

    Came here on a Friday night. Always grateful for the servers and the hours they got at Hinodeya, I always crave soup late at night. They got a limited time item, Scallop Dashi Broth, it was soo umami and delicious. It came with scorched sashimi grade scallops as the protein. I added butter, corn and 3rd level spicy. I would definitely get it spicier next time if I get this again, but this was so so good, ultra umami, the onions kicked up the soup flavor and the crispy garlic is just the perfect toppings to the ramen. My boyfriend got the aburi cheese miso ramen. It was super duper rich and it tasted heavy, but that's totally up my boyfriend alley. He liked it but would be down to try something else next time as well.

    We were looking at a place to eat late at night at 9pm. It was one of the few places that would be still open. It was quite a pleasant surprises: the place was still crowded, yet no wait. The ramen broths had its own styles. Very unique. A few were quite pricey, yet worth it. The scallop special was very good! The atmosphere was quite nice: a good mix of customers who had families, young people, couples, singles, etc. Parking was easy, just outside. Will come again!

    First time visiting this ramen shop. Very nicely decorated. The servers was friendly and fast to serve our food once we placed the order online. The ramens are quite unique in flavor and presentation. They are served hot and the soup base is very delicious. The ramen was very enjoyable. Definitely recommend this store.

    Second time coming here. They did not disappoint. Most beautiful bowl of ramen and might be the most delicious I've had. Delicious! They got busy but I'm grateful they didn't try to push us out. My friends and I were able to catch up over a great meal!

    ABURI CHEESE SPICY MISO Ramen
    Elsa J.

    Food: - The ramen is always great here although I usually sub in chicken for the pork and sometimes the chicken is on the drier side but other than that, it's great! (9/10) - Aburi cheese spicy miso ramen however the cheese can be a little too thick and clump up, not sure if that's usual with cheese ramens but this specific dish doesn't fit my particular taste so (7/10) - Takoyaki was absolutely amazing, softer than other places I've had it at while still being crispy, only thing was the brown sauce is a little on the saltier, sour side as compared to just being sweet which is what I'm used to! (9/10) - Overall: (9/10) Service: - The servers are always lovely here - You order food through a QR code that you scan, pretty fast and simple - Menu is nice and readable online - (10/10) Ambiance: - Dark (not too dark, just right) and cozy - Lovely place to eat ramen especially on a rainy evening - Great place to have conversation over food as well - Intimate setting even though you can see the other guests eating as well - Generally not too many people here - (10/10)

    Somehow landed here on a random Wednesday late afternoon/ early evening The restaurant has a good vibe and a good number of tables for groups as well as for solo diners at the bar sort of a thing. We were quickly seated and then had water at our table. Theway to order is so efficient you can scan a barcode and order by yourself.This is convenient in case there are big groups. The food arrived quickly. The yuzu ramen was tangy and spicy and the crispy bits that came along with it were delicious. The other vegan option was also good but missed a little tang or a punch. But all in all there were quite a few vegetarian friendly options and that made this place one of my go to next time I am looking for ramen.

    Chashu Bowl and Chicken Karaage
    Sistine M.

    Hinodeya is my second favorite ramen place. I've been this location probably 5 times. It's small, cozy. Join the waitlist on your way over. I like that they're open until 10pm on the weekdays. My go to is the spicy miso. I've tried the Hinodeya Ramen, Hamaguri, Spicy Miso Butter and the chicken ramen and I have no complaints. The noodles are thick and chewy, the broths are delicious. Chicken karaage hits. The shrimp tempura is good, but not with $11 for 4 pieces. Out of the rice bowls the Gyudon is my favorite, but the pork bowls are also good.

    Aburi ramen with melted grilled cheese in it
    Jay P.

    We've been here 5 times since they've opened and it's the best ramen in the area by far. We come anytime we want "good" ramen and it never disappoints. They started in Japan in 1885 and are still family owned, it's abnormally good with this high quality ramen normally only accessible in San Jose, San Mateo, or San Francisco. We've had pretty much everything on the menu, here are some standouts. Fried oysters: From Hiroshima Japan, probably fantastic raw. Fried in panko they become soft and mild bites of the ocean. Aburi Cheese Spicy Miso Ramen: very pleasant heat and the butane torched cheese comes in a gooey chunk that pairs well with the spicy broth. A bit heavier than normal ramen but a good reward if you had a hard day. Hinodeya Ramen: Their signature and we'll always get these for the kids to share. The broth is light shoyu-dashi base and it comes with a lot of veggies so it feels more balanced than a traditional tonkatsu. Chicken karaage: Always so well fried and we love the matcha salt on the side for dipping. Arrived way more on time than other places where it often comes after we are halfway done with the ramen.

    Do they accept reservations?

    I don't believe so. We came on an off time so we were just able to walk in. I did see their option of a wait list here on Yelp.

    Is this a branch of the Hinodeya in SF or unrelated?

    Yes it is! 😁

From M-F, 11:30am-2pm (closing) for just $19.90, you get to pick one of the ramen bowls, and one of appetizers that are listed (at half the size). Here's what we got: FRIED OYSTERS (5) - $12 This was not one of the appetizer options to the lunch specials but sis really needed her fried oysters, haha. This comes with a side of creamy sauce that tasted like a yummy potato salad. It was awesome! The fried oysters were very hot to be careful, and it was very much enjoyed even though it scraped the roof of my mouth, haha. TONKOTSU RAMEN - $16.95 Tonkotsu (Pork Broth) chashu pork, green onion, yellow onion, soft boiled egg, fried green onion, kikurage mushroom. I'm happy that we get a WHOLE egg and not just half! Everything about this bowl was so good and creamy! GYOZA (6) - $8 Chicken/Veggie pan fried post stickers. The lunch specials only come with 3 pieces, and I'm always happy when your savory finger food comes with a dip! No complaints here! KARAAAGE (6) - $10 Fried Boneless Chicken. The lunch specials only come with 3 pieces, but they are huge! Juicy dark meat pieces, with a nice creamy srirarcha dipping sauce! Also hot, so be careful! It just means it's fresh! They have a back room that was nice and quiet. You can smell the fresh clean laundry from the laundromat next door, haha. The service was great, and everyone was so nice and attentive. We enjoyed ourselves very much, and was happily full with leftovers to snack on later!

Their lunch set has great value, pairing an already filling ramen dish with a heavy appetizer! 4/5 - Tonkotsu Ramen - Savory and well-portioned in each of the ingredients! If it's your first time trying ramen and don't want to go too crazy, you can try this. It is very delicious, but if you've had regular tonkotsu ramen before, I highly recommend trying the Kuro or Aka! 5/5 - Kuro Tonkotsu Ramen - The black garlic oil really enhances the tonkotsu flavor in a smoky, umami way. If you haven't tried a black garlic oil broth, I highly recommend you try it here! You will not be disappointed. 5/5 - Aka Tonkotsu Ramen - My personal favorite of the ramen bowls we all tried here. The spicy level can be adjusted and was exactly the spice level we thought it would be (we chose Level 2). The flavor is a bit more elevated than the regular tonkotsu ramen, likely from the spice that you should not find too overwhelming. 5/5 - Chashu Don (Appetizer) - The rice and chashu makes this its own little meal and is super savory and filling...as an appetizer! This is great to share with your party, and it seems to taste differently from the chashu you get in your ramen. You won't regret trying this! 5/5 - Chicken Karaage (Appetizer) - The chicken in this dish was very juicy, and the portions were huge! The sauce they give also compliments this well. You won't be disappointed with choosing this for an appetizer.
