    Vegetable Ram ok/good
    Jennifer T.

    3.5 stars which is decent. We ordered two vegetable ramens and one chicken ramen. The vegetable ramen was in a much smaller bowl than the chicken ramen. The chicken ramen was a lot of broth and not much else to it. Overall they were decent/good. The broths taste weren't great, but decent. I had far better Ramen at other places. The service was very attentive.

    This couldn't have been their best day!! I know they've served better and better broth in the past. I wanted to have a nice bowl of ramen and since I remembered them being good I revisited. We sat down but the menu never came, no water, or anything. They weren't fully booked either so it felt like we were just forgotten. We ended up looking up the menu and when they could come over we just ordered what we wanted and asked for glasses of water. Then the broth felt almost diluted:/ like something was missing from both the ramen we ordered. I'm sure this wasn't their representative work!!! I hope they get better and I can come back again.

    Squid Geso Karaage
    Scotty L.

    I tried the HinoMaru ramen, fried squid, chicken skin, and chicken karaage. Likes: broth was rich but not overly salty. Broth was hot. Noodles were different from other ramen shops. I would get the squid karaage again. Chicken skin was decent. Chicken karaage was overcooked. Friendly servers. Clean tables. Dislikes: Service was slow despite being 1 of 3 total parties in the restaurant. There were more workers than diners when I was there. I understand why the food might take slightly longer especially if it's being made to order but it would take some time to get drinks or to get the check. Overall the ramen was one of the better ramen shops I've ever been to. I normally don't enjoy Japanese style ramen as much, but I would return here again. 3 appetizers + 3 ramen + 2 beers came to roughly $150 with tax and tip.

    Lychee mojito

    This is where I go when I want a hot, comforting bowl of ramen in the neighborhood. This time, went on a Monday after 7:30 PM so it wasn't crowded. Was seated right away. Started with the chashu pork nikuman, which came with 1 bun. The pork was tender, the bun was fluffy, and I appreciated that the sauce was evenly spread so you got some with each bite. The shoyu (Tokyo style) ramen is made with a chicken broth, and came with tender chashu pork, a poached egg, bamboo shoots (menma), yuchoi greens, scallion, and garlic chips. The broth was nice and hot, very flavorful, and not too salty. The noodles had a nice chew to them. The lychee mojito I ordered was so good. It was sweet, with a little bit of tartness from the lime, and some brightness from the mint. The server came by often to refill my water, check on how I liked the food, and if I needed anything else. This was another very satisfying experience at HimoMaru.

    OMG so happy to have stopped by and shame on me for waiting so damn long. This is definitely one of the best Ramen joint in NY and very reasonably priced. Broth is super flavorful and noodle is perfect firmness. A must on your Ramen bucket list

    Crispy Rice Sushi
    Dessa R.

    Great visit and service this evening. No wait for 2 around 8:30 and friendly greeting and efficient service. Tried the spicy fried Korean chicken, and my only thought was that it was super hot and would've loved if it was a little bit more crunch. The crispy rice sushi was a nice appetizer as well. I love the tonkotsu spicy ramen with honey glazed ribs as it has the wavy noodles (my FAVE!), and rib meat fell off the bone, perfect noodle texture! Thanks Hinomaru team!

    Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen

    Walked in on a Friday night before 7pm and was able to get seated right away. The dinner crowd definitely starts to pile in shortly after 7. We ordered a ramen dish each and it was pleasantly tasty with a reasonable portion amount. Unfortunately we did have to wait quite a while for our ramen, as one of our dishes came out pretty quickly but they had accidentally gave another table our other other so we had to wait 20 additional minutes almost for the second bowl to come out. Seating area is pretty tightly packed and the decor inside is nice and fits the vibe of the restaurant well.

    HinoMaru Ramen - underwhelming
    Ashley B.

    I think I got my hopes up for this place because of these reviews, now I'm convinced that most people here have not been to a lot of ramen spots in general. I got the hinomaru special - and although it's not bad, I found that it was way more hyped than what it actually was. I didn't feel like there was anything that was standout about it than the next random ramen place nearby. The flavors were ok, but not as much depth as I would expect for all these ramen reviews they've received. My boyfriend got the shoyu ramen and I thought it had more flavor than the hinomaru special. They also come with poached eggs and not regular soft boiled. I got an extra poached egg since mine didn't have it, and it's served on a separate spoon to add to your ramen but it was cold and tasted like nothing after I ate it - not worth the extra $3 and definitely nowhere as good as soft boiled imo. We came on a regular week day so it wasn't busy at all and we were seated immediately. However, I think they were either understaffed or just serve in batches and not at the same time. My boyfriend and I got our ramens 8 minutes apart and I did not come there to eat ramen by myself. So I waited until he got his because that's what it means to go out to eat with someone so mine wasn't hot and fresh. Just seems weird to have our main food come out at completely different times and kind of ruins the dining experience. Otherwise, the appetizer (okonomiyaki) was really good!!! And the service, albeit slow, was also exceptional! Quality of food and weird separation of serving times if your party orders something different than you just overall makes it an ok experience at best. I'm glad to try this, but the hype is overstated.

    Great food. When you come in it feels Japanese. The ambiance is very nice and service was good. The yuzu margarita was definitely a favorite.

    Veggie ramen
    Audrey S.

    Maybe my hopes were a little too high after I read many high praises for this ramen, but I found it to be a little underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but the vegetarian ramen felt a little unimaginative. The broth had little flavor and there wasn't any creativity to the toppings. It was nice to get some vegetables, but the ginger was the only thing adding flavor and they put too much of it. I wanted to order something else and sub tofu for meat, but they won't do any substitutions, even for dietary restrictions. While the food disappointed, I liked the rest of the experience. The space is nice and felt lively but not hectic. There was plenty of room inside and it didn't feel claustrophobic like some nyc restaurants. The service was just the right level of attentive and polite. If they could up their vegetarian ramen game, it would be a winner.

    Ceviche Ramen
    Taylor W.

    Hinomaru has always been a family favorite! I got to try their ceviche ramen, which is their summer special. It's topped with lots of sashimi pieces! It was so refreshing to have especially while dining in their outdoor seating. They also have solid ramen options. I didn't get any at this visit but I love their shoyu ramens. Their ramen is perfect during the winter or on a cold day!

    Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen
    Teev R.

    Pleasantly surprised! As someone who frequents Ramen spots, I have high expectations and this spot hit the mark with their rich broths. Parking is tough to find though (it is NY!) Setting: Wooden interior with tons of two and four-tops. Outdoor seating is also available, but can get hot in the summer. Service: Great! Our server was incredibly attentive and consistently checked on us and refilled our water quickly. Food: Really flavorful! I have gotten both the lunch special ($24 includes app, main, and drink) and a la carte options from here. For ramen and appetizers, the price is a bit more than other spots in Queens so it loses a point for overall value.

    Uni Ramen
    Melissa T.

    Second time here in a whim. This time I tried the uni ramen and fell absolutely head over heels. The broth is creamy, rich, full and just mind blowing. I've been on a Parmesan kick so this dish really tickled my fancy. I would have it over and over and over again. 10/10.

We arrived at a great time as walk-ins, a little before 12PM. There were still a few seats available. Immediately after getting our seat, the restaurant became packed and a waiting list began to form--so I definitely recommend coming a bit earlier to ensure a seat. The interior is small, but cozy. I enjoyed the cups they served us, which had a cute Susuru design. The broth of the ramen was very flavorful.

However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.

We went all in on the skewers with the assorted combo (thigh, breast, meatball, pork belly, the whole lineup including bacon-wrapped everything), plus yaki ika, takoyaki, and fried oysters. On paper, this should've been a fun, izakaya-style spread. In reality, it all landed somewhere firmly in the "fine, I guess" category. The yakitori platter was the biggest letdown--nothing was outright bad, but everything felt a little lifeless. The meats leaned dry, the seasoning didn't quite hit, and even the bacon-wrapped items (which should be a guaranteed win) somehow came off underwhelming. The yaki ika was chewy without much depth beyond the sweet soy + mayo combo, and the takoyaki lacked that soft, almost molten center you want. Fried oysters were decent, but not enough to save the spread. Service matched the food: polite but forgettable. No major issues, just minimal engagement and a general "going through the motions" vibe.

Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.

Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

Traditional Banh Mi: (4/5) sandwich was tasty and had the cold cuts with the pickled carrots. If they toasted the bread then I think it would make it even better. Chicken Banh Mi: (3/5) chicken had a nice lemongrass flavor but overall was just okay. The traditional one was much better.
