    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

    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.

    The Horseshoe Tavern has been our neighborhood watering hole for over 16 years, and at this point,…read moreit feels a lot more like family than just a bar. So many memories have been made here -- birthdays, celebrations, nights out with friends and family, and plenty of random evenings that turned into some of the best ones. We've also made friendships here that have lasted for years. It's one of those rare neighborhood bars where you can walk in, see familiar faces, bring your dog, grab a drink, and immediately feel at home. I was especially honored to be asked to guest bartend for The Equal Pour, an event celebrating 55 years of women being able to bartend in California. It was such a fun and meaningful day, and San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie even stopped by to celebrate with everyone. And because the Horseshoe always seems to have a good story attached to it, we were also there when the Budweiser Clydesdales came by to deliver beer -- definitely one of those only-in-San-Francisco neighborhood moments. The staff here has always treated us like family, and that's what keeps us coming back year after year. No pretension, no fuss -- just good people, a great neighborhood atmosphere, dogs welcome, and a place that has been part of our lives for well over a decade. The Horseshoe is a true Marina neighborhood gem, and I hope it stays exactly that for many more years.

    My friend and I were in the Marina after an event at Fort Mason, and were looking for a low-key bar…read moreto get a drink. Fortunately, we were lucky to stumble across Horseshoe Tavern, as it immediately gave across a welcoming and comfortable vibe. Although there was only one bartender working the bar which was packed with a lot of people watching the Kentucky Derby, the service was incredible and the bartender immediately acknowledged us and took our order. We ended up getting two rounds, and again the bartender was super prompt and attentive with service when we went back inside for round two. Overall, this place is a gem, especially being in the Marina. Down to earth and comforting vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice watering hole or a place to play pool.
