Came here for lunch and the service quick and pleasant (granted I came during a Thursday afternoon). I ordered the gyudon and it came with a soup and salad. The salad was cool and refreshing; the soup was hearty and savory; and finally, the gyudon was delicious and filling. Great food for a great value. Highly recommend. read more

Nice restaurant when getting off the 405. We got sat down as soon as we arrived. Menu is simple and straight forward. We ordered Gyoza as the appetizer, then Spicy Tonkotsu and Miso Ramen. The dishes came out quick! One of the workers came over to give us Edamame on the house as well; pretty tasty. Overall, nice experience. Workers were attentive with refills and clearing out finished dishes! Bathroom was also clean. read more

Hinata Ramen - Miso Ramen (bottom) and Spicy Tonkotsu (top) - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

Delicious ramen! We've had our eye on this place for awhile, and finally tried it on Memorial Day. I got the black garlic ramen and he got the pork miso ramen. Both soup broths were rich and flavorful. Honestly, I liked the miso broth the best. Service was good. Food came out somewhat quick. But both bowls didn't come out at the same time. It took about 5 minutes for both of us to start eating. We did get a free edamame appetizer. They have a summer menu with cold noodles. Definitely will come back to try. read more

I was staying in Long Beach for a night before a cruise the next day. This restaurant was very close to our hotel, so we walked here. Our server was Alex, and she was absolutely fantastic! I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen, and my girlfriend ordered the Pork Miso Ramen. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, and they provided complimentary edamame. Everything was delicious! I can't believe I forgot to take a pic of my Black Garlic Ramen. Trust me, it was amazing! I told Alex I was going to write a yelp review, and she provided a complimentary green tea ice cream. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and craving Japanese food! read more

As a first timer, I definitely enjoyed my experience. I came here wanting ramen but the soupless one, Mazemen, and it was super delicious. I tried not to eat it all so I could leave some for my husband to try. We also ordered eggplant katsu, calamari, and a cucumber salad. Everything was so tasty. I would definitely come back to try more items. read more

Hinata Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

First timer and loved it. Came in at a slow time after work, waitress came in very cheerful sweat and communicative. I didn't ask her name but she was sweet! I ordered the tonkotsu as a basic order I guess. Food came in fast hot and good! The waitress dude I forgot to ask her name was so sweet she came in 3 times to ask me how I was doing, if I needed a refill and if I needed anything else. Very attentive. As I walked away I saw her smiling at the other tv the had Inside which was playing an anime show (dunno the name) I left watching her smiling at the tv and I waived goodbye to the cooks in the back. I shall be back here and bring my friends forsure! read more

Hinata Ramen - Tonkutsu ramen with a side of extra noodles and a drink - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

Randomly ate here for lunch on a Saturday to give it a try due the good reviews on Yelp and it seemed like it's a new ramen shop. I want to begin by saying that the workers are nice and ramen is actually decent. Me and my husband ordered the combo (ramen with appetizer), he got Black Garlic w/ calamari and I got the Shio Chicken w/ Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice. Ramen was delish! What made me give a three-star was inputting my order wrong, maybe I should have been a better listener when she read back the order? Idk what happened there but my spicy tuna crispy rice was given to me after me and husband finished eating our ramen already and omg on top of that, the spicy tuna crispy rice looked like disappointment. The rice was UN-eatable. It was like uncooked rice, it legit hurt my teeth chewing it. The crispy rice should be slightly crispy on the outside and soft when you bite into it. I will say tuna is pretty decent but it could not save it. HUGE disappointment. Tbh, I am an easy critic, I'm a foodie. I was prepared to give 5 stars cause the ramen is good but it went downhill to a 3 star due to the long wait of my appetizer just to look like throw up on a plate. I don't think I can go back after that. read more

Hinata Ramen - .. um spicy tuna EXTREMELY crispy rice.. - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

We were in the Long Beach area and decided to try this Japanese ramen spot. We ordered the Kurobota sausage and gyoza. The sausage tasted more like an American-style Hebrew sausage, and it was served with plain ketchup, which felt out of place. The gyoza was decent, but the dipping sauce didn't resemble traditional Japanese soy sauce. For ramen, we ordered two tonkotsu bowls. The meat had a smoky flavor, while the broth itself was just okay. In comparison, I personally find Kaiba Ramen's broth more flavorful. Overall, the ramen did not disappoint. The service was friendly, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. read more

I'm so glad I was able to try this new restaurant! While I loved the restaurant that used to be here, Hinata does not disappoint at all! Delicious food, great interior, and amazing service. I had never had donburi before but I will be back to get a full size portion! I absolutely LOVED the black cod donburi! The sauce on the fish is the perfect blend of sweet and umami. The ramen was excellent as well. I usually get a tonkatsu but I wanted to try something different, so the server suggested the black garlic ramen since it's still creamy as well. It did not disappoint! Really great depth of flavor. I would definitely order it again. I got medium spice level but I could have gone up a little higher - I just didn't want to blow out my palate since I didn't know their spice levels. You can always ask for more spice on the side as well. The house salad that comes with the combo was a nice light starter before the donburi and ramen. The service is excellent here. Everyone is very nice, and they check in frequently to see if you need anything else. Parking may seem a little full, but keep driving to the back and you should be able to find a spot. read more

I believe Hinata Ramen replaced Great Tiger Ramen. New go-to spot! Service: 5/5 Great, friendly, no complaints. Food: 5/5 Everything was great. The Garlic Edamame was rich in flavor. The salad had a unique citrus taste. The Black Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen had a familiar and reminiscent taste combined with perfect egg and pork. Be sure to get the combo! The Salmon and Tuna bowls were great, be sure to add lemon. Alex from the kitchen was super friendly and welcoming! Calm and welcoming setting. read more

Hinata Ramen - Black Garlic Tonkatsu - Ramen Near Me - Long Beach, California

Soooo glad to have discovered this absolutely yummy ramen restaurant!! We never tried their food when it first opened and was named Great Tiger Ramen. But I can tell you they have THE BEST miso soup I have ever had! In my life! That's fact! Then add in the Black Garlic ramen & other ramen choices, Tuna Bowl that comes with miso soup and perfect size salad perfectly dressed, and Fried Rice selections all at truly reasonable prices, you can't ask for more! Oh wait! They also have lunch specials & refreshing alcoholic drinks (plum is my favorite) I love as alternative to sake which they also serve including unfiltered which I prefer. You can't go wrong eating here! Just remember their last call for ordering take out or dining in is 9:30pm so be prompt or be disappointed! Service is prompt and friendly! Enjoy! Oh, and No, I don't work there! lol! read more

The best Mazemen in town! Doctor up with the seasonings on the table. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned with modest salt, so the flavor completes with the Ramen soup. Their half size fried rice is a full size at regular restaurants, so be careful with the portion. We went there for dinner on a weekday. We were seated immediately. Nice and cozy restaurant. The service was great. Our server Alex was wonderful. We will absolutely go back. read more

Staff are friendly & welcoming. Cute little ramen hub. They brought us complimentary edamame right away which was really nice. I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen thinking it wasn't gonna be that spicy but it was. I still enjoyed it though it has a very delicious flavor. The ramen noodles are thin but they also have an option of thick noodles with an up charge. The chashu was a bit dry & stringy which was a bit disappointing. We added a soft boiled egg with an up charge. read more

Such a cute little spot!! My friend and I were craving ramen, so we decided swing by this place. It's right next to a Subway that I frequent often, and a car wash. It's situated in a smaller lot, but I've never had trouble finding parking here. The inside is cute and tastefully decorated. We were admiring the wall covered in vintage posters while waiting for our order. Service was a bit slow, but it was understandable, as we came around peak dinnertime. I ordered the Hamburg Donburi and my friend ordered the black garlic ramen. We also ordered a side of Takoyaki. The takoyaki came out first, and it was pretty good. Nothing really stood out specifically about it, just good ol' classic takoyaki. The Hamburg steak was really good, and the portions were HUGE! the meat itself was really flavorful and seasoned generously. The meat-egg-sauce ratio was perfect. As a savory lover, this meal was so satisfying! I loved how it came with a side of broth and salad. I couldn't really pinpoint what exactly the flavor of broth was, but it was very savory. It reminded me of red miso. I took a sip of my friend's black garlic ramen broth and it did not disappoint. It was super garlicky and complimented the rich tonkotsu broth. Overall, I would come back here again! read more

I recently visited Hinata Ramen in Long Beach and tried a half portion of the shrimp fried rice. The service was quick, attentive, and friendly, which made the visit pleasant. The fried rice itself was a bit bland, but the shrimp had a nice flavor and was cooked well. The interior is clean and unassuming, making it a comfortable spot for a casual meal. Overall, it's a decent place for a quick bite, though the fried rice could use a bit more seasoning to really stand out. read more

Ramen was great, first time ive gotten ramen. The service was good and they had anime on the tv. I would go back again.

I had been craving ramen and this was our spot for the night. We had the Miso Ramen and the Chicken Katsu Donburi. I had their draft Kirin beer. Something about a draft beer just made everything tastier that night. Our host Rivan was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The drinks were fresh and the ramen was full of flavor. I wish it had meat, or that I had ordered it with meat, the mushrooms were meaty, but now I know for next time. read more

Came in for a casual meal and honestly had a great experience from start to finish! Service here really stood out. From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive, friendly, and fast without feeling rushed.. Right away they brought out free edamame, which is always a nice touch and sets the tone -- warm, lightly salted, and fresh. Small gesture, but it goes a long way. We also ordered the cucumber salad, which was perfectly balanced: crisp, refreshing, with just enough heat and sesame flavor to keep you reaching for more. Simple but executed right. The fried eggplant was a standout -- super crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not greasy at all. Paired really well with the dipping sauce. For the main, the fried rice was loaded with flavor and toppings, generously portioned, and clearly cooked with high heat -- smoky, savory, and satisfying. You can tell they don't skimp here. Overall, great value, solid execution, and thoughtful service (free edamame ). Definitely a spot I'd come back to, whether for a quick bite or a full meal. read more

Tried this local ramen spot recently and it was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and honestly... it was out of this world. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfect, and everything just came together so well. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. The flavors were bold without being overwhelming, and every bite was better than the last. If you're a ramen fan, the Black Garlic Ramen is a must try. Definitely coming back again soon. read more

Wow this place is awesome! Definitely a new favorite spot. They greated us with a free edamame app as we decided on what to get. I will say that the spicy ramen does not hold off on the spice at all. I'm all for the heat usually but even I needed to take out some of the chili oil. The best part of the ramen was how much meat was in it - very happy with the serving size and was more than I've seen from other places. Overall, a great bang for your buck with delicious food and nice staff. Will be coming back for sure read more

Amazing spot for spicy tonkatsu ramen lovers! The ramen has real heat and deep flavor--not just spice for the sake of spice. Everything tasted fresh and came out quick. Servers were friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Great food, great vibes, and perfect if you're craving bold, spicy ramen without a long wait. Definitely coming back. Note spicy tonkatsu REGULAR is spicy so go mild if you're not willing to sweat. I don't think any normal human being should go extra spicy. read more
