This spicy cold dipping noodle at HiroNori hits differently in this weather!!! Such a flavor explosion! We're doing some summer healing over here. Vegan lover? They got vegan ramen too! I was surprised by the soy meat. If you love the classics like me, the Tonkotsu Ramen is a great choice. Gotta try some appetizers too. The pork bun was loaded with meat And the cucumber crab salad with drinks was so refreshing. Chilling summer IG: socalhkfoodies read more

The service at HiroNori Ramen in Chino was good and fast, and the portions were decent. The noodles also had a very nice texture. However, the prices are a little higher than other local ramen spots, and the biggest issue was the salt level. Both the ramen and the chicken were extremely salty. I could not finish the ramen, so I took it home and added water later. I had to add about four times as much water just to bring it down to what I would consider a normal level of saltiness. I am familiar with salt ratios because I regularly make my own brines for fermenting and cooking, so this was not just a matter of personal sensitivity. The food was genuinely over-salted. There is a lot of potential here because the service was efficient and the noodles were well made, but the seasoning seriously affected the meal. At this price point, I expected better balance and consistency. read more

Terrible establishment, they don't care about their customers. Honestly, the worst service I've ever had anywhere. Long wait, people that came in after got food first. & left after eating their food & we still didn't even get our food at that point. We also had a crying baby & nothing was done until I got up & started questioning them. Just ridiculous. Will NEVER go back! Would give 0 stars if I could read more

Driving up & down Edison Ave. Chino, CA. and never noticed this cute little cozy restaurant serving Japanese style dishes & Ramen soups. We all ordered Shoyu Ramen Soup, and it was delicious even though it was not heavenly flavored, but that tasty spicy table hot sauce filled in for a complete satisfactory lunch break. Service was excellent & tipping is included with every order. I don't think I'll ever go back, since we love socializing with our friends & family and this tiny restaurant isn't built for that (my experience) hush, hush & don't be you. Parking is reduced on weekends but seems to always accommodate. read more

HiroNori located in Chino on Edison was my first time coming in here for lunch. I came in and there were a few empty tables but I was told that there was another party in front and needed to wait a little bit. We waited for a few minutes and then got seated. Looked over the menu and also heard the nice server recommend what was tasty and we ordered some chicken karage. That was pretty delicious. On to the ramen I decided to get the vegan ramen and the flavor just wasn't hitting right. Even with the spice I felt like it was lacking something. I really wish they had some green onions in it already but they don't and adding them was outrageous for $2.30. But they do serve other ramen like the regular pork tonkotsu. read more

I had such a great experience at HiroNori Craft Ramen Everything we tried was full of flavor and honestly so satisfying. Tonkotsu Ramen: The broth was incredibly flavorful and rich. With all the ingredients together, every bite was comforting and delicious. Vegan Ramen: This one surprised me! The tofu and broccoli paired so well with the corn, and the flavors were amazing. I almost didn't even notice I wasn't eating meat. Spicy Cold Dipping Noodles: This was a totally new experience for me since I've never tried cold dipping noodles before. It was fun and interactive because you can dip the hot noodles into the cold broth or pour the broth over the noodles. I recommend dipping the noodles--it makes the experience even better. The broth had so much flavor and paired perfectly with the eggs and pork belly. Cucumber Salad: Simple but so refreshing. The perfect light appetizer. Pork Buns: The buns were super soft and the pork belly was tender and flavorful with a smoky taste and a hint of barbecue. So good! Drinks: Yuzunade Cucumber Mint: Very refreshing and light. Piña Colada: Also super refreshing and delicious. Overall, everything was flavorful, fresh, and really enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're craving ramen in the Chino area! read more

HiroNori Craft Ramen - Vegan Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Chino, California

Came here based on a recommendation. The restaurant is kind of hidden in the corner of the shopping center with one of the most annoying parking lots (it's one way and forces you out to the street if you dont find a spot). The inside is small, maybe 10 tables at most. The earthy tones create a calm, casual atmosphere. I came in around 3:30 so there was no wait, but I can see this place having a wait time for dinner. The menu states that there is a 17.4% service charge that you can opt out of. When paying, the server asks you if youre ok with the charge. I did ask and she explained that the charge is not a tip. You can just do a tip or both if you want. Food time: Tried the yuzu mint lemonade and it was refreshing; a bit tart with a mint aftertaste. I got the the shoyu ramen and my partner got the Tonkotsu. Tonkotsu is different than others I've had before. It was kind of creamy. The shoyu was so much better imo. It was the salt bomb I needed. You can choose between thin or thick noodles. I didn't specify which so I ended up with the thick noodles which I'm glad cus they had nice bite. The pork chashu was cooked crispy, which added a nice texture as well and the egg was perfectly soft boiled. I added their house spicy sauce which is a nice garlic spice combo. Again, I can see this ramen being too salty for some people, but I really enjoyed. To end I also asked for their yuzu cheesecake to go. It's only 4 dollars but it is small so I wouldn't share lol. It was good. Essentially it's a citrus cheesecake with a more bready texture, if that makes sense. read more

Nice quaint spot. Their Tonkotsu is my fav! So creamy and savory. The soft boiled egg has a sweet note to it balancing the savory saltiness of the broth. The pork pieces are so soft. One of the best Tonkotsus around!!i also love their spicy tuna over crispy rice. Generous pieces and they do their spicy tuna right!! Service is great, it's super small so they I guess they have no choice to be attentive. Lol. The place is also a tad bit on the pricey side. Like I said, this place is super small, seating is limited, so get there early to put yourself on the wait list. read more

Boy was I disappointed with the dining experience here. I was excited to try because it was on the Michelin guide. The ramen itself was decent but the service was AWFUL. I first checked in and put my name down on a tablet. The wait wasn't too long. When I got seated, the table was not set. Had to ask for chopsticks and napkin after ordering. When we were ordering, the server neglected to ask my partner for the thickness of the noodles. She just assumed that he wanted thick so he got thick noodles. I am sure she had to input the option upon putting in the order. I don't understand why she did not come back to ask for his preference. When I requested my noodles to be cooked to Al dente or kata, she was confused. I feel like working as a server at a ramen shop should know what that means. Overall it was a very mid experience. The ramen broth was good- more like shoyu tonkotsu than pure tonkotsu. The ajitama was cooked to perfection. The food tasted decent but with that kind of service, it made me not want to come back. read more

This place is smaller than I expected but very cute inside. Service was friendly and quick. The food is delicious especially their ramen. It's probably the best you can find in the IE. Here's what we ordered: + Tonkotsu Ramen - The broth was rich and full bodied. Noodles were cooked perfectly. The pork chashu was tender and had a smoky flavor. + Pork Buns - The pork belly was melt in your mouth tender. I will say the buns were a tiny bit soggy and kept sticking to my fingers. + Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna - Great appetizer. The spicy tuna had a kick but wasn't overly spicy. read more

I've heard a LOT about this ramen joint and the quality is that of a Michelin star restaurant. I can see the potential, but I definitely think that there might be some items I need to revisit and try for the future. The eel buns were good at a 3.8/5, but I just think there was a lack of sauce/ it was a bit dry and that missed the sweet spot as an appetizer. The tonkotsu ramen was very rich and heavy. I think that it is a good few bites, but I can't see myself finishing this bowl at all. 4/5 The shoyu was my definitive favorite since it was a perfect balance of flavor, texture, saltiness, and the bowl itself was a great meal 5/5 The service was good, typical to that of a ramen joint. The interior is nice, but pretty small, so make sure to go on off hours if you're looking to be seated asap. read more

Came on a Sunday around 3 PM for a casual double date. AMBIANCE Small space but beautifully designed--very Japandi-inspired and minimalist. FOOD Spicy Cold Dipping Noodles: A great choice for a hot day when regular tonkotsu ramen feels too heavy. The spicy sauce was delicious and refreshing, especially with the touch of lemon. They also offer extra garlic (not sure if there's a charge), which was a nice addition. The pork was super tender. Pork Tonkotsu Ramen with Broccolini (additional add on charge)i: The broccolini might sound unusual, but it actually works--it soaks up the broth nicely, adds a charred flavor, and gives a satisfying crunch. Overall, a solid bowl. I personally find tonkotsu ramen a bit heavy, so I'd like to try their shoyu ramen next time. SERVICE This is where the experience fell short. Even though the shop wasn't full, our server repeatedly forgot parts of our order, water, and sides--it took one or two reminders each time. I'm guessing they were new, but it definitely dampened the experience. Overall: I'd come back, but probably during off-hours. The space is small and seems like it would fill up quickly--and I'm not sure it's worth a long wait. read more

I've been looking for a great ramen spot in the IE, and this place was perfect. The atmosphere is quaint, and I would definitely recommend coming a little early for dinner to miss the rush--it can get packed pretty quickly. My sister and I ordered as much as our stomachs could handle, including the ramen combo, which came with a green salad and a mini bowl. My sister and I ordered as much as our stomachs could handle, including the ramen combo, which came with a green salad and a mini bowl. The ramen was super creamy and came with a side of garlic and additional chili paste so that you can spice it up to your desire. It's definitely quite a bit of food, so I think I would skip the combo next time and just leave my stomach open for the ramen. I also loved their karaage chicken and could have been satisfied with just that as well. Moist, crispy, and flavorful. Shoutout to the friendly staff, the fruit-infused water, and most importantly, THE FOOD. read more

This place lived up to the hype. I came here with my daughter as a "day after Valentine's lunch" and was surprised how quaint and cozy the dining room was at first entry. With the amount of people that were on the waitlist ahead of me, I knew this was going to be pretty special. The wait list moved very quickly (also because your dining experience is limited to about an hour or so) and we got seated within a 10min time frame. Our order was taken and served even faster but our server was very gentle in how he took great care of us. We ordered the edamame, vegan gyoza, chicken karaage, and tonkotsu ramen. Very tasty and was absolutely full by the time we were done. Will definitely come back w more friends and try other menu items. Thank you HiroNori! read more

I've always loved this restaurant and this is my first time trying this location! the interior isn't too big so if you have a bigger party make sure to come early as they do get busy. parking was rlly easy since it's inside a plaza i got the tonkatsu, shoyu , and vegan ramen. all of the broth were amazing and i loved the toppings! my fav was the tonkatsu! make sure to add the garlic they give on the side, it adds to the flavor i tried the tuna crispy rice, pork belly buns, and karage and they're all worth a try! i loved the karage the most since it was super tender and crispy on the outside. i also tried the pina colada and cucumber mint drinks! they weren't rlly for me but my friend enjoyed it since she usually likes pina colada read more

I had no idea there was a HiroNori in Chino Hills! The other location I've been to is the one in Irvine and WAO so glad they opened one up closer to me :') The ramen was pretty consistent. My boyfriend and I both ordered the tonkatsu ramen with black garlic oil and chili oil. The broth is SUPER flavorful & noodles were bouncy. We also ordered the crispy chicken. I will say the Irvine location is a bit better -- more crispy and juicy but nonetheless still very much delicious ! The hospitality was 10/10 -- the server who helped us out was so kind and made sure we got what we needed. :) read more

Good: Polite staff, shio broth was nice Bad: 17% service fee for average service, small portions, mini bowls were all rice and 1 tablespoon of poke, salad had too much dressing (soup on bottom), tonkatsu ramen had too much spinach, chili paste extra $, cramped inside. Left feeling the meal/experience was not worth the cost. There's plenty of other good ramen in town. read more

didn't even get ramen, and still left obsessed LOL Pork Buns: so glad i ordered this for appetizer. pillowy bun, buttery pork, sweet-savory sauce, zingy onions. it might be the best pork bun i ever had! Crispy chicken karaage: crispy as promised! lemon alone was enough, but the sauce does add some more flavor. not dry at all. Small Pork Bowl: friend loved the generous chashu, said it was solid bowl overall. Cold Spicy Dipping Noodles: I always choose tsukemen over ramen. this one is chewy noodles, tangy-spicy sauce with plenty of sesame, addicting(!) ginger toppings, and the jammiest egg. The chashu was quite perfect as sometimes i feel icky and greasy after too much chashu but this one was just right!!! interior is tiny but cozy...kinda felt like dining in a ramen cave (in a good way). staff was super attentive since it's an intimate space. you actually get to talk and eat well. I'll get the ramen next time xD read more

I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen ($17.90) at HiroNori (Chino). The base ingredients are quality, but its dish is prepared poorly. The Tonkotsu Ramen is a subpar, pricey meal. First, its pork chasu is partially rubbery and overcooked. It's mildly chewy like BBQ while holding a grilled aftertaste. Second, the noodles are not springy; rather, they came clumpy and squishy. The noodles taste like a hybrid between spaghetti and udon. Thirdly, the Tonkotsu Ramen is overloaded with boiled spinach. It should be renamed Spinach Ramen. This mudslide of watery, bland spinach offset all of the broth's savory, eggy flavor. In general, this Tonkotsu Ramen is only slightly better than instant noodles because it lacks that artificial saltiness. I arrived at HiroNori (Chino) on Friday (around 1PM). Service (receipt said Riley) is soft-spoken, demure, and quick. The food arrived in eight minutes and 18 seconds. Fast! Unfortunately, HiroNori (Chino) has bad ambiance. The location is tiny and cramped. Its table and chair is sticky. And I had to brush food crumbs off my chair. Also, its floors looked unswept. Most jarringly, loud country music (ex: "Sweet Home Alabama") kept blasting in the background. At times, I could barely hear my waiter. Regardless, HiroNori (Chino) resembles a Southern BBQ joint made from leftover IKEA supplies. [Important Notes: Cash is not accepted. Card or Contactless Only. In addition, 16% Gratuity Service Charge is automatically added to the bill. This can only be removed by telling your server.] Overall, HiroNori (Chino) is a disappointing experience. The food is not awful; however, it's pricey and unremarkable. I can't recommend. 2.5 out of 5 read more

Second time having HiroNori Ramen but first time dining in. I recommend that prior to arrival, join the waitlist via their website, as the place is tiny (seats only about 18 people) and there will be a wait. Had the tonkotsu ramen: pork chashu, spinach, green onion, seaweed, bean sprouts, half egg for $17.90. Ask for the free garlic and house spicy sauce! Adding these to your bowl will make your ramen even more delicious! Be sure to read the restaurant policies and other information provided on the website upon joining the waitlist; such as the added service charge which can be removed upon request and they are cashless, accepting card & contactless payments only. read more

Craving ramen in Chino Hills and found this place. This location is very small and has about 10 tables. Came on a random weekday afternoon and the service was quick. Started off with the chicken karaage but the chicken was slightly over the cusp of being burnt. Some pieces were beginning to look dark and had taste of being burnt. Chicken karaage was crispy but hard. We got the shoyu and tonkotsu ramen. Both had very rich broth and good aromatics. The tonkotsu has a slight creaminess to it. The noodles were decent. The pork chashu was tasty and has a good char. Good broth here but would try other ramen places before coming back here. read more

I have been here plenty of times prior and first discovered this chain in Orange. All their locations have quaint dining rooms and takes you back to a ramen restaurant in Japan. The tonkotsu broth here is so rich and perfect on a cold winter day. They also have tsukemen which is a nice change when the weather is warmer. The garlic oil and chili oil is a must add. I would also highly recommend the crispy rice. Note: Join the waitlist on the website during busy nights as they have limited seating and will only have so many seatings towards the end of the night. read more

HiroNori Ramen is a true gem for anyone who appreciates exceptional ramen done right. The broth is deeply rich and perfectly balanced, showcasing incredible depth and quality in every sip, while the noodles have just the right bite to carry all that flavor. The karaage chicken is just as memorable. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. What really elevates the experience is the restaurant's intimate decor. The warm, cozy setting makes it feel like a tucked-away ramen spot in Japan, inviting you to slow down and savor every bite. From taste to atmosphere, HiroNori delivers a consistently outstanding and comforting dining experience. read more

Service is very slow and needs improvement. Prefacing that quality is basically the same as other HiroNori branches. Ordered ramen and the crispy rice with spicy tuna. The ramen took around 30 minutes to be made and brought to our table. The crispy rice with spicy tuna never came (they probably forgot about it) so we followed up. It took another 20 minutes to be made + we can see it sitting on the counter and just needed a waiter to pick it up but they just passed by it multiple times. Had to flag down a waitress to grab it for us (if I could, I would've reached over and just grabbed it myself). There were also other tables who had not gotten their food yet for a long time but yet you can see the kitchen is empty + you can hear the staff laughing/messing around in the back. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night and waited 1 hour to be seated. When I went to check why they haven't seated me yet I see an open table and other tables that had not been cleaned, so seemed like they neglected to notify us of a table being ready. My group got 3 ramens and a Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice appetizer. It took 20 minutes for our food to arrive and the appetizer arrived after our food. The Shoyu, Tonkotsu, and Cold Noodle were all decent. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice was good! If I come again I'd probably just order that. They are mandatory gratuity, which they give you the option to remove (but who's going to do that). If you want ramen there's probably better places to choose from, but if you do come here, definitely do takeout as the wait is long, service is slow, and space is small. read more
