    This is the Hinodeya location in the Marina. What's special about it is the olive tree in the center of the back room! It's so pretty. The house ramen is good. The vegan ramen with the soy milk base is also good. Everything in the vegan ramen seemed bursting with flavor. If you get the bento or rice, you can get a smaller size of the ramen. Extra toppings such as beef, chashu pork, and poached egg are additionally charged. Service is not attentive. They are so busy, and the dining rooms are spread far apart. There is counter seating, so that may have better service. Credit card accepted Bathroom available No wifi

    Came here for lunch. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is not that big so large groups might have trouble getting a seat. The food was good. Standard for a Japanese ramen restaurant. We like the lunch sets that come with ramen of your choice and some type of rice dish. We got the house ramen and thought the soup was a little bland. The noodles are the thicker kind and the broth was just too thin. This thicker noodle would be perfect with a creamier thicker soup.

    Gorgeous calm interior with soft Japanese music playing in the background. Large patio space in back, totally enclosed but with a live olive tree and faux greenery giving the feel of dining in a lush garden. Total Japan vibes. Spicy Miso ramen was a standout--flavorful broth, tender pork, half a perfectly cooked hard boiled egg, well cooked noodles etc I thought it could use a bit more spice but it definitely was tasty. Didn't care for the shishitos as they had a sweet sauce drizzled across. Service was fast and efficient.

    Combo meal

    The combo meal options here are really extensive and portions are generous. They have beer by the pitcher which was nice with friends, and I thought the service was good. They do bang this drum thing every time a new party comes in and we were seated by the gong so that was the only thing I didn't love - sitting away from the drum is probably better.

    Shrimp tempura
    Anthony M.

    Very good bento boxes and noodles. We visited Hinodeya for lunch as our hotel was right around the corner. The shrimp tempura appetizer was most likely a frozen, breaded tempura shrimp, so not so good. The broth on the ramen was hit and tasty. The spicy pepper powder that came with it was tasty as well. Hinodeya hit the spot but the service was slow and could have been better.

    The restaurant was very cozy! Small, dim lighting and quiet. Ordered their house ramen. It was okay, nothing too special. I did appreciate their willingness to make accommodations to the ramen such as no bamboo. Has a nice aesthetic!

    A great late-night spot and a comforting go-to. Their food is great, hearty, and a cozy option for the streets of SF at 2am! My only complaint is how small and crowded it can be! I wish their space was a bit bigger so that you could fully enjoy the meal without feeling rushed to make space for others.

    I was the first of a party of five to arrive here for a 222 organized event. After entering, I was seated at a nice back corner table within a couple of minutes. Although it was in the middle of the dinner rush, the waiter informed me they were (already) out of the green gyoza and yuzu soda. I asked him if given the nature of our party we could split the check, and he confirmed it was fine. My other party members eventually trickled in, but even after we were all seated, it took a while for our orders to be taken. After ordering, however, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I got the zen yuzu ramen for something light before going out to the bars, and it was absolutely the right call. I actually really liked the citrus flavored broth with veggies and inari, although the inari was a bit too sweet. Overall though, it was good and I would recommend this dish for those not wanting to feel too bloated or puffy after eating. Maybe next time though, I would try their house namesake specialty or popular spicy miso ramen.

    Creamy soy ramen

    Tokyo in San Francisco! Something about this city echos between the ears long after I've had to fly back to dull Indiana, sights and sounds, flavors and small inner rooms filled with a tree and skylights linger like old favorite pets. Us five guys couldn't get enough of this place, fantastic staff, huge menu, dynamic atmosphere showcasing crafted and inviting dining. Karage wasn't spicy like others but so good. Hunted for okonomiyaki, alas not here but the other four friends went for the large boxed meats and noodles, gyu-don which I keep forgetting that name. They loved it yet was way too much food for me! Hunted and began to panic what to get, it's tradition for me, then noticed a peculiar vegan soy based sauce ramen. Well why not? And boy did the hunch pay off, have never had such a smooth and drippy creamy dish before in any ramen shop. I'm forever a fan! You got to come here.

    Food is ok. I tried the spicy ramen and the noodles are thicker than other ramen I've tried in the past. It was mildly spicy. I added more condiments- garlic and chili powder which were at the table. Staff is OK but are younger folks who don't provide maximum service. Hubby thought the prices were high. BFF tried the potato chips. Not sure if it's all that great,

    I did not have a great experience at Hinodeya. The service is fast and the spring rolls were very good. However the veggie ramen I got lacked flavor entirely and I could not eat much. There was also way too much spinach which just overpowered the other vegetables. I've had good vegetarian ramen that had real flavor but this was definitely not it. Probably would not come back here again.

    First time trying out this ramen place. We had the house ramen, spring rolls, and takoyaki. The ramen tasted fresh and delicious, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the service was quick. The ambiance was good and chill. Would probably check cleanliness, and the restroom could have been better; it had a weird smell.

    What a drastic difference from our first experience. I came in excited thinking I'd get the same plate as last time. But the portions and plates have downsized and the prices went up. You can look at the menu photos to compare prices, I don't have to tell you that it went up nearly $10 since our last visit. Lunch special where? I was too hangry to even consider searching for a different place to eat. So, I ate begrudgingly. The food was tasty and the service was still friendly, but the plate was not worth $26. Sorry, but I cannot rave about this place like I did before. Probably won't be coming back again.

Noise levels are pretty low - perfect for a date night or a chance to catch up with friends. The bathroom is one stall and the hand soap smells really nice. They also have lotion for us dry handed people! Service: Offered zero water throughout the whole meal and drinks. By the time I was pretty thirsty and wanted water, it was near the time we wanted to leave and it started picking up, so getting the attention of someone to get water was challenging. Considering there's an automatic 20% service charge, the service is really lacking. Food/Drinks: It's like they have the drink shelves for show. All their drinks come pre-mixed and if you look carefully, they just pull it out of the fridge and pour the booze into it and shake it up. They pour it into a glass and add whatever oils and garnishes on top. It hardly feels "crafted" and doesn't warrant the $20+ price tag. They also heavily push their "signature drinks" maybe because they don't know how to make other cocktails? We asked to make a cucumber gimlet, since they have cucumber drinks, and that's when we realized their drinks were premade. Blush - refreshing, but a bit on the sweet side. My friend didn't finish it, but didn't want to ask for another, since they couldn't make the drink she wanted and didn't want another drink that was too sweet Mizuwari - The drink wasn't too whisky forward, but Japanese whiskys tend to be on the lighter side. Also a bit sweeter than I expected in a highball, but it was still pretty good Crispy Potato - Nothing more than a glorified tater tot. It tasted basically like any tater tot you would get in a freezer bag, air fried. It wasn't really greasy, so that was one in their favor. The sauce on the side was pretty good and the saving grace for the potatoes. 2.5/5 rating. Stroop Waffle - the waffle part was light and airy and fairly flavorless. The tuna mix inside was flavorful and fresh and paired well with the waffle. I enjoyed the presentation. 4/5 rating Lobster Rolls - The toast was dry and even the bearnaise sauce didn't save it. The actual lobster filling was pretty good, but the cut to the toast to stuff it was pretty shallow, but not terrible for the $32 price tag. And would have been nice if I had water to wash it down! 3/5 rating Overall super disappointing to pay $150 for 3 small bites and 2 drinks. I would not recommend the food here. Perhaps previous menus of different seasons were better, but this was disappointing for both of us.

    Dear Val and The Patio Restaurant Team,…read more We wanted to extend our sincere thanks to you and the entire Patio Restaurant staff for making our wedding brunch celebration such a memorable experience. From the very beginning, Val was incredibly kind, responsive, and organized. She answered every question we had and guided us through the planning process with patience and professionalism. Her recommendations on the food portions were spot on, ensuring that everyone had plenty to enjoy without overordering. Our family and friends had a wonderful time, and everyone complimented the food, drinks, and beautiful venue. The patio space created such a warm, welcoming, and intimate atmosphere that was perfect for celebrating with our loved ones. The brunch menu was outstanding. Every dish was delicious, from the mac & cheese, fried chicken sandwiches, and meatballs to the calamari mixto, French toast, fruit and berries, charcuterie selection, sommelier's cheese selection, little gem salad, avocado toast, and scrambled eggs with potatoes. There was something for everyone, and every plate was enjoyed. We also want to recognize the bartender for crafting amazing drinks throughout the event and the servers for being so friendly, attentive, and professional. They made sure our guests were well taken care of and contributed to the relaxed and joyful atmosphere. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up perfectly, allowing us to simply enjoy the celebration with our family and friends. We will always cherish the memories we made that day, and Patio Restaurant will forever be a special place for us. Thank you, Val, and thank you to everyone on your team for providing such exceptional service and hospitality. We truly appreciate everything you did and look forward to visiting again in the future.
