    No sports on the screen...Awesome!

    Have been going here for 20 some years and the Ramen is always outstanding, My wife had the Sukiyaki beef Ramen & I had the house Ramen. Both were delicious, my only concern would be to serve them hotter. The daishi flake broth was lukewarm. I'm a weirdo, I like my soup hot. Atmosphere: Cozy, often busy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Popular Dishes: House Ramen, Spicy Miso Butter Ramen, Vegan Creamy Ramen, Hamaguri (Clam) Ramen. Highlights: Late-night service, flavorful broths, customizable toppings, and good value. Service: Offers dine-in, takeout, delivery, and curbside pickup.

    The ramen was 10/10. The dumplings were 10/10 and the shrimp tempura was 7/10 only because the batter was very thick as if it had been overfried. The ambiance was great for a Thursday night. The service was also good they just took a while to serve us. Then the wait staff forgot we ordered shrimp tempura. We had to ask for it

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was pretty busy and there was a short line--moved quickly tho. I got the house ramen, and I thought it was on the salty side, but plenty of toppings. For a price of $17, I'd say it's pretty affordable in this economy. We sat outside so can't say much about the ambiance, but inside did seem crowded.

    Hinodeya is always consistently delicious, no matter which location. Love that their ramen is tasty but also not too heavy. Also appreciate that they have very good vegan options that rival some restaurants' regular ramen. This location near Union Square is very convenient because it's open very late. The drawback is that it can be very crowded, which is why this time we had to sit outside. But it wasn't too bad since there are heat lamps. Service can be a bit slow, especially getting the check, but understandable due to the popularity. Excellent karaage too, somehow very crispy but not oily, heavy, or too thick at all. Last thing, when meeting friends at Hinodeya in the city, be sure to specify and go to exactly the right one!

    Last Wednesday April 08,2026 My Friends And I Went Downtown San Francisco To Explore As We Decided To Have A Late Lunch At Hinodeya Ramen By Union Square And We Were So Lucky That When We Walk Inside There Was A Spot for Us. Cause Usually Its Hard To Get A Sit Specially Alot Of Patron's Come To Dine On The Said Restaurant. So when we were Escorted By The Staff To Sit And Gave Us The Menu And Decided To Order The Hinodeya House Ramen, The Gyoza Dumplings And Appetizer was The Endamame Sticks Wraped And Fried. As Always The Food Serving Was So Great And Savory The Staff Are Friendly And Courteus And The Restaurant Ambiance Is Clean And Prestine As It's My First Time to Dine Inside As This Is My Second To visit the said restaurant And I Highly Recommend it. Have Attached Some Photos So Please Check it Out.

    Good ramen but in a really tight space. The tables are placed very tightly together and there's pretty loud music on the background. The positive is we only waited 10 minutes on a Friday night because there's so many tables that turn quickly. The negative is it's a little chaotic. We ordered the sukiyaki beef ramen, spicy miso ramen, and spicy edamame. The regular soup is really delicious but the spicy miso is not as satisfying.

    Yuzu Zen (Vegan) is one of two vegan options for ramen on the menu. I'll try the other one next time.

    This one didn't disappoint. Yummy from the start. All their ingredients worked well with one another. The broth wasn't too hot either, making it perfect to start eating right away! Prices are fair for the area and quality of food. Yes I will repeat!

    Busy ramen joint with fast speedy service . Tight seating although enough room for 1:1 conversation. Food came out quick if your in a hurry. Come in with an empty stomach leave with a full stomach. Great flavors. Price is a little high but you are in SFO

    I liked the broth. noodles had good bite but didn't like that the toppings were cold it just kinda made the whole bowl like warm. kind of a small space not great for large groups.

    Maybe I was hangry and just not vibing but the food didn't help. It was bland and expensive for what it was and just not a good time. :(

    Super good late night ramen spot in union square! Went on a Sunday night at 10:30 and it was super busy and lively! Outdoor seating was a great plus. Deviated from my regular creamy ramen order and got the yuzu zen and it didn't disappoint! It's much lighter and more citrusy. Quality high as always, love hinodeya.

    After parking the car overnite at Mason O'Farrell and feeling hungry, we walked over to this ramen spot. We heard whispers of this but didn't expect much. Our group, a party of three, just wanted to eat. It's not in the greatest part of town but this place had a line at midnight. That alone peeked our curiosity. By the time we walked over, after parking, there wasn't much of a line left. We did wait a little. They had to clear the table. Noise level was high. Place was packed. Very narrow walking between tables. I felt like I was in a ramen restaurant in Japan. I got excited. The menu is not very big. Just a few selections. That made it easy to decide. And we all settled on their special House Ramen, Hinodeya Ramen. Dashi soup. Service was nice and friendly. And the food came out quick. Typical for any ramen place. The bowls were hot but that didn't stop of us from digging in to our delight. Noodles had a little chew in them carrying some of the tasty, creamy broth. The pork soft and tender was savory to my tongue. On this cold night I really enjoyed the broth going down my throat sore from the day working the show at the convention. It didn't take us long to finish the ramen. In fact, we were even thinking of ordering another round. We decided not to be foolish. We talked about how good it was before going to bed. We talked about it when we got up. And we talked about going back. Eventually we will.

    Stopped by around 6pm for an early dinner and it was already pretty busy with a line. Make sure to enter your name on the iPad before waiting -- our wait was quick though, only about 10 minutes. We chose to sit outside since it was faster, and the heat lamps made it surprisingly comfortable. Service was friendly and efficient, and ordering through the QR code at the table made everything super easy. We ordered the chicken umami ramen, creamy vegan ramen, hot matcha, dash butter corn, and edamame -- everything was flavorful and really satisfying. The broth had a great balance and didn't feel too heavy. The dashi corn was tasty but a little on the salty side. Overall, a great spot for ramen with fast service and solid food.

    This place was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with the A5 Wagyu nigiri,…read morewhich was good and very tender, though it didn't quite have that melt-in-your-mouth texture I typically associate with Wagyu. One of the standout appetizers was the spicy enoki chips. They were packed with flavor while still feeling light and crispy. Fair warning--they definitely bring some heat! I love spicy food, and while the spice didn't linger much on my tongue, it definitely had my nose running a bit. My husband ordered the GKO ramen bowl, and it was absolutely loaded with flavor. The garlic-forward broth was rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. It does get a little heavy toward the end, and you'll probably leave with garlic breath--but it's 100% worth it. I ordered the Spicy Signature Toripaitan ramen, and we were both glad I did. Despite the name, it's not particularly spicy, which was perfectly fine with me. The broth was creamy, flavorful, and comforting without being as rich as the GKO. The duck chashu was incredibly tender, and the oyster mushrooms added a wonderful chewy texture that balanced the bowl beautifully. Add the enoki chips to the broth, you won't regret it! Service was great. We were checked in on frequently and always had a refill when needed which was definitely needed when we ate the enoki chips. At least for my husband anyway. Overall, we absolutely loved the ramen here. Every dish was flavorful, filling, and thoughtfully prepared. We left happy, full, and already looking forward to our next visit.

The texture is perfect and they are so chewy and bouncy. Truly the highlight of the night. For appetizers, we tried the sandstorm calamari and the chicken karaage.

The tsukumen was excellent. The dipping broth was packed with flavor and the consistency allowed it to stick to the noodles perfectly. I will note that I preferred the regular chasu over the sou-vide version. Service was good, attentive and food was out fast. Overall, this place was excellent and I will be back. Overall: 4.9/5

Also don't sleep on the dessert. Dessert at a ramen spot sounds random, but trust me here. The matcha cream pie was fantastic, and the mochi donut with ice cream was equally good. They also have a great sake selection. Be sure to put yourself on the Yelp waitlist before heading over because this place definitely gets busy.

The wait for a table was 20 mins or we can share a large table with random people and be seated immediately. We were hungry. We went with the large shared table. Pleasantly, there was more than enough room. There were at least 1-2 seats in between the three groups on each side that were there- a solo diner, a small family of 3, and my group of 4. I ordered the Karaka Spicy, my bf ordered Akamaru Modern, his sister ordered Miso, and I don't remember what her friend got- I think it was also Karaka spicy. My bf and I ordered the Treasure plate on the side to share and a side of spicy paste because I know Japanese spicy is barely spicy (from someone who grew up eating SEA spicy). Karaka Spicy had a nicely balance tonkotsu mouth feel and pork flavor. Broth was a little salty. I was correct to assume that it wasn't spicy because I used half of the side of spicy paste and I still didn't think it was spicy enough. Chashu was cooked fine. Notes: - I wished I would've asked if they could swap the thin noodles for the thick ones. I love the chew thicker noodles provide. - Noodles were cooked al dente. Akamaru Modern tasted very similar to Karaka spicy without the spicy. My bf used the other half of the spicy paste as dip for his toppings. He enjoyed it. Miso was a lighter broth (obvi) with a good umami flavor and was not watered down. Solid. She loved it. I have never seen her finish a whole bowl of ramen before. There was a server in training that took our order with the help of the trainer- he did great. Staff was attentive with our waters. Bussers were also quick to notice and remove empty plates and bowls regularly making for an easy clean up after we leave and kept the shared table clutter free. Interior was modern, but casual. They had an expansive menu with vegetarian choices, sushi, buns, karage, etc. and a surprisingly large array of alcohol. I would def like to be back to try some drinks.

The ramen is served in large bowls, which looks impressive at first, but the actual portion of noodles and toppings felt underwhelming for the price. At that price point, I expected more both in quantity and flavor. We ordered the Dragon Tantan ramen, which the menu describes as spicy. It wasn't spicy at all. We asked our waiter if we could have a little more heat, and he nodded and brought over a tiny dipping-bowl-sized portion of some red paste with no explanation. There was no mention that it would cost extra. After finishing our meal, we were surprised to see a $5 charge on the bill for the "extra spice." We genuinely thought it was complimentary, and if it wasn't, that absolutely should have been communicated before serving it. The lack of transparency was disappointing and unnecessary. Overall: mid food, mid service, and not worth the price -- especially during such an exciting weekend in the city. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

I've been to plenty of Japanese/Ramen spots and I've been running into the issue where I say I have a soy allegry and there is an assumption that I have a gluten issue (I do not have a gluten issue). I noticed yelp said they have soy-free options and thus called on Friday thinking it might be a bad idea as they're usually busy.. It was defintely hard for the person to hear a bit when they picked up. The staff did relay something about gluten free noodles.. Anyways, they said they could swap out any of the soy soups for salt (but soy can encompass a lot of things so I still wasn't feeling super confident but we're going to give it a go). We go and I asked which 4 of the soups I was eyeballing don't have soy - the staff said they can accomodate and replace any of the soy soups with a salt broth. After we ordered, the staff came back and checked in to make sure that my partner also didn't have an allergy. And my dish came out, they told me there was no egg as its marinated in soy - perfect to me. I'm glad that was caught as not every establishments can account for everything. - Now I have a spot to (more safely) eat ramen! - I advise that if you do have an food allergy, do talk to the staff, and address your concerns such as cross contamination etc. I had a great experience, but I do find that because its not so regulated or understood and there is lack of education amongst the food/resturant industry - you always need to advocate for yourself and there is always a risk. I'm very apperciative of the staff here.
