    Ambiance
    Eui L.

    Got the house ramen medium, both enjoyed the portion, not too big, not too small. Ambiance was very simple and neat table seating. Service was very quick, you can choose between pay through QR code or look at the physical menus. Perfect for friends and dates alike as well as a work dinner. Parking is nice at the parksj 90minutes FREE!!!

    Tasty ramen, appetizers and beer. This is my go-to place for ramen when I'm in town. Service is friendly and the ambiance is great!

    House ramen

    I came here on a Saturday evening and thought the ambiance was nice, but the restaurant itself is pretty small. This being my first time, I was told I could either scan a QR code to order or have a server take my order. I want to say we waited about 15 minutes, and despite there being 4 to 5 employees working, not one checked on us. And they were looking at us. The whole time, we had to get up multiple times just to get someone's attention. That was ridiculous. I ordered the house ramen. The broth was tasty, but everything else was pretty mediocre and lacked lots of flavor. But overall, the service and food didn't live up to the price. I was actually really disappointed. There are so many great ramen spots nearby, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

    Really quick service. This is currently my favorite Ramen in San Jose because I love the bento boxes. They have QR codes, or you can get a physical menu. They also have a pretty expansive drink menu if you want tea, soda, wine, beer, or a cocktail. I also love how they're open super late. They should be open till like midnight or so. They have good customer service, and everyone is pretty polite. That helps you. It's a very good experience. I love that the bento boxes come with three options of mini Ramen, shishito peppers, a spinach salad, and two mini fried spring rolls. They have really good appetizer options. I love the Matcha salt to sprinkle on my edamame and spinach salad in my bento box or to use on my chicken breast on top of the Ramen. I really appreciate the small sides of veggies/vegetarian options you can add to your ramen, since I don't eat pork.

    I like this location because it's in a walkable area near SJSU. I tried Hinodeya's other locations in Campbell and SF. The ambiance is very nice for a date night or after work meet up with friends for drinks. Service is meh. They give you the option of a physical menu or the QR code. While I don't mind the self ordering system, service was very lacking. It was hard getting a server to stop just to get extra napkins, utensils, or to-go boxes. The food was good but overall I don't feel this location is as good as the others and I can't justify how the prices for such minimal service and small portions.

    I'm so disappointed by everything. This is the second time I've ever been to this restaurant and my partner was SO HUNGRY. So I thought, what would fill your tummy better than a nice bowl of ramen. My partner ordered the Ramen Tonkatsu with the Spice Level: 3 The ramen was LACKING. We even ordered an extra egg and all 3 eggs came out practically hard boiled. This has to be one of the lowest qualities of ramens I've ever had. I ordered sweet chicken on the side, was a little better than the ramen, but a lot of the chicken wasn't even covered in the sweet sauce that a majority of the chicken was doused in. We also got a little Ume soda can, (this was probably the best part of the whole experience here). Very lack luster, very disappointing, and unfortunate for spending around $60.

    In need of a late night weekend fix after DTSJ excursion? Doors are open to two... Vibe: A Hinodeya provides a cozy, momentary escape from downtown for one final pit stop to end the night. Food: B Late night hot bowl of ramen, variety of choices to choose from, nice presentation, but the overall broth was missing something and it needed a little bit more oomph. Service: B Quick service via QR. - John

    Tonkatsu ramen (two left), forgot what the one on the right was :/

    We got there around 7P, was seated immediately. Our server got us some waters right away and we ordered. The ramen came out fairly quick, looking hot and delicious. I really enjoyed the creaminess of the broth and the texture of the noodles at this place (not too chewy but enough where it's not breaking). Their portion size was also perfect, where I'm left full but not overwhelmed. The inside was nicely lit by tiny lamps. Definitely would go to this place again, great place to catch up with some friends or a date!

    I am still a fan. The food is hella good and srcice is fast. Great Ramen for a reasonable price. They never disappoint. It does get busy so best to be early.

    CREAMY RAMEN (Vegan)

    The food was plated meticulously, but that's about the only positive I can mention. Everything else fell short. The dish arrived cold, with ingredients sitting in a mildly warm broth, which made it unappetizing from the start. There was little attention to preparation--mushrooms weren't even sliced, and the kale was overly saturated in oil, making it unpleasant to eat. The tofu, which should have been a highlight, had an off texture, and the broth was too sweet for my taste. Even the noodles were forgettable. Overall, this was the least enjoyable bowl of ramen I've had. I'm genuinely surprised by the high ratings, as everyone at my table shared the same experience. If you're in a rush, this place might work--the food arrives within a couple of minutes of ordering, and there's ample seating with quick service. However, based on my experience, I wouldn't return--rush or no rush.

    New! Tonkatsu ramen
    Kevin T.

    I came here with some friends after a show. I wasn't too impressed by them and lowkey, I was a bit underwhelmed. I think there are better ramen spots in the area. I had the Tonkatsu Ramen. The katsu was crispy but remember to place it on the dish otherwise it gets soggy. Further, I didn't think it was very rich or flavorful. Perhaps it was an off night?

    Sukiyaki Beef Ramen
    Alan L.

    Good, standard ramen place. Nothing too special, but does a great job when you're craving ramen. The Hinodeya Ramen was pretty good, with a generous amount of toppings. The meat was tender, and the noodles chewy. The broth didn't really have that depth of flavour that you expect from a great ramen place though. However, it was still seasoned nicely. The sukiyaki beef ramen tasted exactly how you would expect. It was good, but sukiyaki beef to me still pairs much better with rice than with noodles.

    Love that this spot has multiple vegan options! We chose the creamy ramen and zen ramen and both were so flavorful! Both had the shiitake mushroom dashi broth but the creamy one had soymilk while the other had more of a soy flavor. I had the sukiyaki beef ramen and it was loaded with toppings! The soup wasn't as sukiyaki-like as I thought but perhaps it's just be in the flavor of the beef. For all of our ramens, we substituted the noodles for the spinach noodles and we were impressed with the texture! It was the highlight of each dish. We came on a Sunday evening and it luckily wasn't too busy but service wasn't super attentive. Would come back again to try the other food options though.
