Hinodeya Ramen (House Ramen) and UMAMI Tonkatsu Dashi Ramen
Ada L.

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night, and the place was pretty busy. Service seems to move fairly quickly though, so my husband and I didn't have to wait long after putting our names down on the waitlist. My husband got the Hinodeya House Ramen, and I got the Umami Tonkatsu Ramen. Flavorwise, the broth seemed pretty simple to us, but everything was made well. The tonkatsu was crispy when it first came out. The portions are small for the price. I recommend getting an appetizer or extra protein if you're hungry and want to stay full. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is located on a lot with Trader Joe's and CVS, which includes parking.

After a handful of stellar experiences at this authentic Japanese Ramen restaurant, came here on Wednesday for lunch with a dear friend and was shocked at how poor the service was. Perhaps the daytime crew is just not up to snuff, but when I walked in, I was ignored for several minutes while a lone waiter rushed around. I finally caught his eye and he asked where I wanted to sit. Told him I was meeting someone and was told well, sit wherever you want when she gets here. Fine. She arrived a moment later and we sat ourselves down. No one came to bring us water or even menus. After five minutes or so we got up and got our own menus. Still no acknowledgment. After another five minutes or so, my friend got the attention of a young waitress, who seemed to be the only other one working tables, and asked whether we could place our orders. The food was still as good as I remember; however, no one came to check on us and in the end we even had to ask to pay our bill. So the food was good, but we felt ignored the whole time. I've only ever been here for dinner; so I don't know if they are training new daytime staff or what. But this was a definite shocker after a handful of stellar service experiences. I hope it's a one-off, I really do.

Food- I ordered Spicy Miso Ramen and their combo Beef donburi rice bowl with mini ramen. All the foods tasted good but I wish it was more spicy while eating the spicy ramen though. In Beef donburi bowl, sukiyaki beef is sweet and tender and good flavors. But I wish they give more meat for the price of $23.00 combo. Not much beef and a lot of rice underneath. Service- fast service and staff made sure we got what we ordered.

Went to Hinodeya on a whim after seeing a movie last night and our usual go to, Venice Ramen was closing soon. We were very pleasantly surprised. Almost no wait for a table after 8:45. Rounding up a little to 4 stars. Good noodles well cooked. Legit dashi broth with tender vegetables (the bamboo shoots weren't like chewing on shoe leather). The Chashu pork that comes with the House Ramen was very flavorful and the perfectly cooked egg was a nice touch. The Gyoza were a little overly small but were only $7. Maybe next time we'll try the Karaage. There is an authentic feel to the interior, kind of a "Ramen Joint" vibe that works well. Not fancy but adequate. All in all, Hinodeya Ramen was a perfect spur of the moment selection that is one of the best values around. Thank you Yelp!

Spicy Edamame

This place deserves more hype. Authentic, hole in the wall Japanese spot with kind wait staff and attentive service right here in Palms. My boyfriend and I came for lunch after a long workout, and the food hit the spot. We started with a spicy edamame that actually had some kick (!!), unlike other Japanese spots we've been to. We both got the spicy miso butter corn ramen, and it was some of the best ramen I've had here in LA. Broth is robust, and the noodles are perfectly thick and chewy. Chashu was super tender. Delicious overall, and I'll definitely be back.

There are so many ramen spots in the area but what I love about Hinodeya is the service! Everyone is so friendly and food comes out super fast. The ramen itself is great too and always appreciate places that offer vegetarian/vegan ramen dishes

An amazing experience!! Love the food and love the flavor, employees so polite and professional the place it's cozy and relax, definitely my favorite place for ramen !!

January 1st, First restaurant of 2026, I came here at 5pm and got seated quickly. More people showed up at 6 and a waitlist was formed. They had three good waiters. They ran out of Hokkaido Hotate Ramen for the night, better call ahead next time. Nevertheless the Spicy Miso Ramen was great. I went for the level 4 Asura Level spice. It was about a 2/5 spicy for me though. not enough to be painful. There was a crunchy add-on crispy flakes on the table. Clean restroom, love that. Ramen was enough to make me slightly full. Delicious. Will come again to try other items.

First time coming here to this local ramen spot near our home. A lot of history here as they have been around for a long time. Nice little Japanese restaurant with cozy vibes. My wife and I had their delicious ramen and had side orders of shrimp tempura, gyoza, chicken karaage and edamame. Delicious sides and rich creamy broth in my spicy miso ramen order and my wife got the house special ramen with pork. Excellent choice as we were satisfied with our noodle cravings. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for the wonderful service.

It's not everyday you can find a delicious, dashi-based clam ramen! I honestly didn't have the highest expectations for this place given I'm pretty picky about my ramen, but I was pleasantly surprised with the broth and quality of the noodles and toppings! Hinodeya specializes in dashi based broths which I'm a huge fan of since most places in the US serve tonkotsu broth based ramen. Dashi is a traditional stock of bonito skipjack tuna (katsuo) and konbu seaweed, making a broth brimming with umami. My favorites were their sukiyaki ramen and their hamaguri (clam) ramen, since the both was light and flavorful, but still packed with umami flavors. The sukiyaki wasn't the sweetest, but it paired nicely with the rest of the ingredients. The spicy miso was also a great option, with the chasu, ramen egg, and bamboo shoots being such tasty toppings. Besides their ramen, a must get appetizer is the yu lin chi karaage which is sweet, savory, tender, and juicy, making it perfect by itself or with a bowl of rice. Their takoyaki and gyoza were just okay, so I would probably not get them again. They have multiple locations in California, and this place was packed by the end of the night. I would 100% come back for the clam ramen and their yu lin chi karaage. They're located in the Palms/Culver City area, in the same plaza as the Trader Joe's there. Highly recommend checking it out, especially of you're a fan of dashi based ramens like me.

Our dinner!

I ordered their signature Daikoku Ramen which was very flavorful and filling, just wish there had been more meat! My husband got the poke bowl with salmon and tuna which is a great dish for those on the protein grind. Service was mixed, they brought some dishes out immediately and then others in our group had to wait longer to get their food. Overall food was tasty and I would go back.

The chashu was disappointing: lean and chewy--more like steak found in pho than the tender pork I expected. The wait for a table was long in the hot sun during lunch. And it's still an inconvenient location to get to in terms of parking--little Tokyo is as busy as ever. We had to share a table with some other, really loud patrons. The air conditioning was broken. I got the fried rice, previously one of my favorite side dishes here, but the Yakimeshi rice was too dry and disappointing. I added garlic and soft boiled egg to my ramen. The garlic flakes were too big/strong and overpowered everything. The egg was good. Since the noodles and broth are the most important parts and were both decent, I'd keep this place at around four stars. But there are a lot of other ramen places to try in the area. Original from years ago: Overtook Daikokuya as my favorite ramen place. I love so much about the place except the wait. And the parking, which doesn't validate as long as it used to. But really, the wait is really terrible. I would eat here more often if the wait weren't such an issue.

The takoyaki was the highlight--crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, with generous pieces of squid. The karaage chicken was crispy and flavorful, although it leaned just a touch over-fried. The California roll was decent, nothing particularly memorable but it hit the spot. To wash everything down, I ordered the Mega Sapporo, which arrived perfectly ice-cold and was incredibly refreshing. That said, it might actually be a better value to order the smaller glasses depending on the pricing. Service was probably the weakest part of the experience. Our server rarely checked on us throughout the meal, and I don't recall being asked if we needed anything after our food arrived. On the bright side, empty plates were cleared promptly, which helped keep the table tidy. The ambiance had a relaxed, casual Japanese bar and restaurant vibe. It wasn't overly loud, making it an easy place to unwind over drinks and appetizers. If you're in the Little Tokyo area, I'd recommend stopping by to take advantage of their happy hour or lunch specials. It's a nice spot for reasonably priced bites and a cold beer, especially if you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere
