The HAMAGURI "Clam" Ramen is definitely a huge standout on the menu! A light but punchy broth. So flavorful and tastes super clammy (in a good way). They even have a cold version during the summer. How refreshing!! We also really loved the appetizers here. I love how reasonably priced everything was. I recommend the Umami Brussel Sprouts and Takowasa especially. read more

Haven't been here in over two years and I may be misremembering but it seems like the menu has changed. There used to be a very spicy specialty ramen I always ordered and really liked; I didn't see it this time around so I ordered a spicy miso with spice level 4. The spicy miso broth was a little salty but typical of miso so I didn't mind and it still tasted good. There were plenty of toppings and I was pleased with how generously they topped my bowl with bamboo shoots. The ramen was served with a side of crispy garlic which was the perfect addition to the meal. It was good, but honestly, it was a very run of the mill ramen bowl to me. Good, but not necessarily a standout. Service was great and attentive! Really liked the ambiance of this restaurant and think it would be a great place to take a date to or catch up with friends. read more

I'm a big fan of ramen and always enjoy trying new restaurants, so I was excited to stumble upon Hinodeya in Newark. Located on a busy corner street, the restaurant has its own parking lot, which is convenient. We were a party of three and arrived before the dinner rush, so we were seated right away. Upon entering, we were greeted immediately and were able to choose where we wanted to sit. The restaurant is very clean, with dim lighting and a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. It's definitely a nice place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We ordered the Karaage Orange, Spicy Miso Ramen, Clam Ramen, and Spicy Butter Miso Ramen. Our food arrived fairly quickly, with about a 10-minute wait. Unfortunately, I really wanted to love the ramen, but it fell short of my expectations. The broth was quite bland and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The portions also felt on the smaller side, with not a lot of meat or other ingredients in the bowls. Considering the price, I didn't feel the quality and portion size quite justified the cost. I may come back in the future and try something different--perhaps another dish will change my mind. For now, though, I'll probably pass. I'm glad I gave it a try, but I've had better ramen elsewhere. read more

We came here with some friends, the decor looked nice inside. You can tell they've definitely used an interior designer for the store. We were led to our seats and once we were given the menu, we started studying it meticulously. I got the HINODEYA "House" Ramen, my wife got the Beef Bowl "Gyudon", and our friend got a ramen with katsu in it. They asked me if I wanted my ramen mild, medium or hot in spiciness. I went with the medium option. I enjoyed my ramen. The broth was well made but I didn't notice much difference between the wheat noodle they've used versus normal noodle used in other shops. The portion was not big for its price and I was about 80% full from the bowl. When I tasted a bite of my wife's beef bowl, boy was I disappointed. They added way too much sauce and honestly I can't say this dish is good. The beef wasn't cut in the traditional way in how a gyudon should be and it turned out a little bit thicker which is a little weird for me. I would compared it to a Yoshinoya and the irony is that I actually like the beef bowl from Yoshinoya better at half the price? lol. Our friend shared a little bit of her katsu with us and we thought it was way too dry. Perhaps it's been sitting at the heat lamp for way too long... Overall, what I feel about Hinodeya is that they've definitely have some unique ideas in their dishes but the execution and consistency still needs to be worked on. I noticed that there were 4 different spicy level and I was a little curious as to what they were. It wasn't until I asked the waiter that they explained them to us. I was a little puzzled because this seems to be what they wanted to push but we just weren't told to us in our visit until way later... It's a 50/50 whether I'll come back or not. I think there are definitely improvements for a good ramen spot that people would crowd upon in the bay area for sure. read more

Hinodeya - Newark - HINODEYA "House" Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Newark, California

House ramen never misses, excellent broth to sip on upon arrival. The spicy tan tan ramen was heavy, good but would probably prefer not to have spice in my broth next time. The new fried gyoza had a nice crunch to it, but the sauce was a bit heavy, and would prefer the original gyoza next time. Great post workout meal! Appropriate attentive service. You can order traditionally via waiter/menu, or just scan the QR code on the table to minimize interactions. I like how they add new seasonal items on the menu and have a lot of options on the QR menu to accommodate various customer preferences. Note to self: the ramen bowl itself is filling enough, we had trouble finishing with 2 extra apps. read more

I crave ramen from time to time and haven't really ventured around the East Bay area as much to see what they have, but a quick search on Yelp led me to Hinodeya. They have a parking lot available and parking is available along the side streets. The inside of the restaurant is decently sized and we were seated promptly on a weekday for dinner. You use the QR code at the table to order and pay, but you can also request a physical menu if that's easier. I opted for their spicy miso butter corn ramen and the chicken karaage. I forgot what my husband got, but it was another spicy ramen. Both tasted good, I'll say that right off the bat. My husband opted for level 2 spicy and he felt like he could push it higher next time. Overall, Hinodeya is a good place for solid ramen. The chicken karaage was okay, although it would've been nice to have a spicy mayo sauce or something to accompany it. The matcha salt was different, but didn't really add much to the dish for us. read more

Delicious, piping hot ramen. The broth melts in your mouth. You choose your level of spiciness. The noodles are a bit thick, tender but still fresh and snappy. So yummy. Bamboo shoots and a soft boiled egg add a delightful taste. Their Chashu pork belly is tender, soft and freshly slow-roasted. And amazing, wonderful service. An authentic ramen eatery that deserves the highest stars. read more

Good ramen spot! Located in a small lot with limited parking but local streets nearby. The restaurant is a little small but it looks like they're currently doing some construction. The restaurant was clean and had a good atmosphere. We ordered two spicy miso ramen and fried oysters. Our ramen came out first and I got spicy level 4 and my husband got 3. It wasn't spicy in our opinions but it was delicious nonetheless. Came with two slices of chashu and plenty of noodles. Wouldn't say it was anything extraordinary but a good ramen overall. The fried oysters were amazing and came with a Donkatsu tasting sauce. Not worth $11 though. It was piping hot and came with 5 small pieces. Overall, decent ramen spot. Think for the area it's good but definitely better spots out there. Service was good as well. read more

This is a big milestone.. as this is my ramen review #100!! I'm officially an obsessed Ramen Sheriff! I should've had way more since I was in Japan for a month, but I was just too busy enjoying myself. Sorry not sorry =P Now that I'm back home instead of walking 20k miles a day in the streets of Tokyo, I'm back to journaling the ramen bowls here. I really liked the wheat noodles here, this was the star. Very chewy and al dente. The broth for the house ramen was very nice, flavorful light dashi, really enjoyed it. The noodles and soup are done well in Hinodeya. My taste in ramen has evolved to lighter broths, so I appreciate the flavorful but light dashi broth here rather than the typical heavy tonkatsu broths they do here around the bay. The toppings however could be better. The chasu was tougher than I'd like, and the soft boiled egg was overcooked on the bottom. They both lacked flavor and could have more umami as well. My fiance got the clam ramen and they were pretty generous with the clams, but he thought it was okay. Service was very good. I was a little weary since the QR code to order asked for tip in the beginning of your order, which was weird. But it was great that they pulled through. Food came out instantly, minutes of ordering, and they were very prompt with requests. Ambiance was loud since it's a small restaurant. Especially when there are families with little ones. Overall, good/fine place for a casual ramen eatery. Nothing to rave about but decent to satisfy your ramen cravings, especially for light broths or clams. read more

This place was recommended to us and it did not disappoint. We came at around 12:30pm on a Sunday and we were lucky to be seated right away. The whole place was packed with people. It's a small place, but they were able to position all the tables and chairs so that there's room to move around. Ordering was convenient. We were able to scan the menu at our table and paid quickly remotely. Our food came out on a timely manner. We were able to try the Clam ramen, Hinodeya ramen, and the Tonkatsu. They were all delicious and very much to our liking. Presentation is something i noticed they take pride in. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly, the decorations on the front entrance is what lured us in. The tables all had a tiny lamp that you can turn on and off. All the servers were wearing coordinated attire with the restaurant logo on it. They were all attentive to our needs and constantly filled up our water and took empty dish away when the table started to feel tight/crowded. All Ramen we tried had the WOW bursting with flavors. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came here for lunch as we were in the area. This would be my 4th Hinodeya. I like how they like to be a small parking lot. The restaurant itself is decently sized with the same color scheme as the others. Around 12:10pm on a Sunday, easy to get a table. QR code to order and pay. Waiters bring out food. I had to ask twice for toddler utensil and also a bowl. HINODEYA "House" Ramen - I got this and shared with my toddler. Plenty of noodles and I loved the toppings. The noodles were cooked just right. SPICY MISO Ramen - My husband got this. He was pretty disappointed as the two pieces of cha Sui was super fatty. Chicken Karaage - Good flavor but the breading was thick. Umami Brussel Sprouts - Good flavor but the Brussels were undercooked. Two unisex bathrooms in the back - clean. read more

This place is within walking distance from my house, so I came here with my husband for a date night. We visited on a random weekday, and the hype had died down. Before it first opened, it was crowded with long lines. The inside is small and not suitable for big groups. It has a cozy atmosphere. There was no service interaction; you ordered through a QR code. I ordered HINODEYA Ramen and Chicken Karaage. The broth had a light flavor, but it didn't stand out to me. The portion size was small for the price, and I think it's a bit pricey. The chicken was good--tasty and moist, I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I think there are better ramen places I would prefer to go to than this one. read more

Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. It was busy, but we managed to get seated immediately. This location is a little bigger than other locations so that was a pleasant surprise.

I fell in love with hinodeya when I first tried it out in San Jose. I love their restaurants. It's this cozy Japanese style restaurants. This location specifically has an outdoor patio as well so it's pretty spacious. You have two options to order, one via the QR code and/or with the servers. We ordered via the QR code and ordered the edamame sticks for our appetizer. I would say the edamame sticks need a little bit more salt but the consistency was perfect. I think the pot of hot teat they have is also pretty cute and their tea leaves were actually pretty good. I would say their ramen is more on the pricier side but it's definitely a tasty ramen. We ordered the tonkatsu and house ramen. And both ramen was really good. Their broth is probably one of the best broths I've ever had for ramen and their proteins are also made very well. The tonkutsu was cooked perfectly and the pork had great consistency. The servers would check on you multiple times which I appreciate and they definitely paid attention to their tables. They made sure everything was clean, everyone greeted you and over all just an amazing time and great food. read more

Came here on a Friday night. Always grateful for the servers and the hours they got at Hinodeya, I always crave soup late at night. They got a limited time item, Scallop Dashi Broth, it was soo umami and delicious. It came with scorched sashimi grade scallops as the protein. I added butter, corn and 3rd level spicy. I would definitely get it spicier next time if I get this again, but this was so so good, ultra umami, the onions kicked up the soup flavor and the crispy garlic is just the perfect toppings to the ramen. My boyfriend got the aburi cheese miso ramen. It was super duper rich and it tasted heavy, but that's totally up my boyfriend alley. He liked it but would be down to try something else next time as well. read more

Hinodeya is my second favorite ramen place. I've been this location probably 5 times. It's small, cozy. Join the waitlist on your way over. I like that they're open until 10pm on the weekdays. My go to is the spicy miso. I've tried the Hinodeya Ramen, Hamaguri, Spicy Miso Butter and the chicken ramen and I have no complaints. The noodles are thick and chewy, the broths are delicious. Chicken karaage hits. The shrimp tempura is good, but not with $11 for 4 pieces. Out of the rice bowls the Gyudon is my favorite, but the pork bowls are also good. read more

Food: - The ramen is always great here although I usually sub in chicken for the pork and sometimes the chicken is on the drier side but other than that, it's great! (9/10) - Aburi cheese spicy miso ramen however the cheese can be a little too thick and clump up, not sure if that's usual with cheese ramens but this specific dish doesn't fit my particular taste so (7/10) - Takoyaki was absolutely amazing, softer than other places I've had it at while still being crispy, only thing was the brown sauce is a little on the saltier, sour side as compared to just being sweet which is what I'm used to! (9/10) - Overall: (9/10) Service: - The servers are always lovely here - You order food through a QR code that you scan, pretty fast and simple - Menu is nice and readable online - (10/10) Ambiance: - Dark (not too dark, just right) and cozy - Lovely place to eat ramen especially on a rainy evening - Great place to have conversation over food as well - Intimate setting even though you can see the other guests eating as well - Generally not too many people here - (10/10) read more

We've been here 5 times since they've opened and it's the best ramen in the area by far. We come anytime we want "good" ramen and it never disappoints. They started in Japan in 1885 and are still family owned, it's abnormally good with this high quality ramen normally only accessible in San Jose, San Mateo, or San Francisco. We've had pretty much everything on the menu, here are some standouts. Fried oysters: From Hiroshima Japan, probably fantastic raw. Fried in panko they become soft and mild bites of the ocean. Aburi Cheese Spicy Miso Ramen: very pleasant heat and the butane torched cheese comes in a gooey chunk that pairs well with the spicy broth. A bit heavier than normal ramen but a good reward if you had a hard day. Hinodeya Ramen: Their signature and we'll always get these for the kids to share. The broth is light shoyu-dashi base and it comes with a lot of veggies so it feels more balanced than a traditional tonkatsu. Chicken karaage: Always so well fried and we love the matcha salt on the side for dipping. Arrived way more on time than other places where it often comes after we are halfway done with the ramen. read more

Somehow landed here on a random Wednesday late afternoon/ early evening The restaurant has a good vibe and a good number of tables for groups as well as for solo diners at the bar sort of a thing. We were quickly seated and then had water at our table. Theway to order is so efficient you can scan a barcode and order by yourself.This is convenient in case there are big groups. The food arrived quickly. The yuzu ramen was tangy and spicy and the crispy bits that came along with it were delicious. The other vegan option was also good but missed a little tang or a punch. But all in all there were quite a few vegetarian friendly options and that made this place one of my go to next time I am looking for ramen. read more

The ramen here is really good if you enjoy a dashi broth - the seafood flavor of the dashi really shines through! I ordered the spicy tantan ramen with a level 2 spice - this is a must order, and a favorite of all the people I had gone with! Creamy, savory and spicy - all the toppings that came with it also complimented the broth perfectly! The broth doesn't really taste all that spicy initially, but whoa, it builds up quickly! My nose was running by the time I finished my meal. Their spicy garlic crunch is also a really nice add, and a powerful flavor bomb for your ramen! Definitely order this! read more

Kinda sad we didn't discover this place sooner--such a great spot for ramen lovers in the East Bay! It was our first visit, so we stuck to the classics: Green Gyoza, Edamame, and the Creamy Vegan Ramen. The gyoza was decent, but the ramen was the real standout. Creamy, rich, and delicious broth, spinach noodles, and plenty of veggies--everything came together beautifully. We'd definitely love to come back and try more from their menu. We added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist; it started getting crowded around 7-7:30 pm. Quick service despite the rush. read more

A friend took us here because they have eaten at their location in SF. The restaurant has a few locations around the bay. It's very appreciated to have a yelp waitlist, it's a wonderful system. We were seated quickly for Saturday noontime service, with a pitcher of water already at the table. To view the menu, you can scan a QR code, it seems like everyone can order and check out on their own. It's a nice, quick and easy system to remove the idea of splitting the check. You do pay first before you get your order so keep that in mind. They had a wide variety of options, with seasonal selection at the top. Something about the scallop ramen was calling my name. My wife ordered the house ramen, so I was able to try out their main ramen bowl. It was tasty and comforting of a bowl, but I felt it needed a little more depth (4/5 rating). It checked all the boxes in my head for what a ramen bowl taste like but I wish it had more of a umami punch. Both bowls had me craving more to get that maximum 5/5 rating. I enjoyed everything they made but it definitely leaves you wanting more when it's all over. The seating is spacious, but it's overall not a large restaurant. I can see it getting really tight when it gets super busy. read more

Alright so it's been awhile since I came here butttt I wanted to update my review as I actually like the ramen now. I think that I came as they were still trying to get the hang of things and it wasn't that good. We've recently been ordering it to go and I love the packaging. It's so nicely done and easy to assemble once you get home. I would say my only complaint is that if my bowl comes with an egg I expect the whole egg. They literally cut the hard boiled egg in half and only give you half for each bowl you order. And if you pay extra for egg they once again only give you half an egg. They gyoza (potstickers) are my sons favorite! read more

In a cold day, we came to Hinodeya to warm our tummy and we were not disappointed. It was so good!! This place is so good. The ramen is tender and the broth is so flavorful. We love everything about it. The sake was served so cute! The place is nice and clean. The staff are so friendly. My only complain is that you order your food via QR code then you must pay for your food right away before they serve it to you. What if you need to add more? You will need to order it again via QR code and pay again. So, to bypass this, just ask one of the server to order it for you and just don't use the QR code. Otherwise, everything was great and will surely come come again. read more

Just tried their limited edition cold clam ramen and OMG, it was so delicious. $18 but totally worth it. It's very rare for me to find cold ramen with such high quality flavors within the area. The ramen also tastes fresh and the noodles are al dente! If you like seafood I'd highly recommend trying this. It was so light and refreshing especially on a hot summer day. The chicken karaage was decent, it was juicy and it came with matcha salt which I've never seen before. The staff were pretty attentive. You can order digital as well. The place is a nice dark intimate atmosphere, but the decor is nice. I'd love to come back here. The menu is quite extensive, it was a bit slow to scroll and load at some points but I would want to come back and try their matcha parfait next time. read more

Hinodeya never disappoints. I love the one in Japantown and was so excited to see this open in the East Bay. They have their only little secluded area in a plaza with private parking spots available. We came on a Sunday around 6PM and it was probably half full. The place is a different vibe from the one in Japantown. It seems a little more intimate and cozy, and less noisy. The small lamps on each table is a cute little decoration! Ordering can be via a QR code set at each table or you can order with the employees. For our party of four, we shared an order of Chicken Karaage, Shishito Peppers, and an Assorted Three Appetizer. For myself, I decided to give their rice bowl a try instead of ramen - specifically the Aburi Chashu Bowl. The Chicken Karaage and Shishito Pepper is always great at Hinodeya. The Chicken Karaage comes with 7-8 pieces. Nice, crispy, outer layer, but juicy chicken meat on the inside. Eating Shishito Pepper is like playing roulette, you just never know when you'll get a spicy one and there always seems to be at least one that's spicy in the mix, but it's a nice treat if you can tolerate it. Other than that, it's very lightly fried and has a tasty glaze coating it. Last but not least for appetizers, the Assorted Three Appetizer - this was new for me. I don't know if I've seen this on the menu previously. It comes with seaweed salad, spicy menma, and tako wasabi. Their seaweed salad was refreshing - nothing special about it, but standard and great. The spicy menma was surprisingly the thing that stood out from the trio. It was flavorful and had a mild kick to it, but was still refreshing. As for the tako wasabi - I think it could have used more wasabi. It didn't have any of the sharp, intense burn to it like wasabi or horseradish usually has. As for my Aburi bowl - the Chashu was great. It's not too fatty, but still pretty flavorful. The umami dashi broth it came with was very clear, light and delicious. It's a nice soup to start and end the meal with. The soft boiled egg was a little overcooked than I normally like for ramen places, but the yolk was still a little melty. I just wish it was a littleeee more so. Although I know the highlight of the bowl is the Chashu, I wish they had more veggies for a more balanced meal. They have some as optional add-ons, which I hadn't thought to add. All-in-all, a very satisfying meal. Service was friendly. We had a few staff members come check up on us on different occasions. Hinodeya always just hits the spot for me if I'm ever craving ramen. read more

It was good portion, but we still got extra noodles. The inside was clean and good vibe for a dinner as well. read more

We really enjoyed the dashi ramen here! When you come in, you have the classic ramen "bar" on the left, where individuals can eat (we sat there and it was fine, because we like sitting side by side) or you can wait for a table. Ordering is mostly by electronic CR code, but they have printed menus if you need them. Very friendly greeting. the ramen was dashi style which was perfect for our clam ramen and the special- scallops, so if you are craving the thick, creamy pork broth, not sure how that is. We had an order of takoyaki, which were delicious, and two ramens- scallops, which was a special and more expensive, and the clams, very reasonable. The seafood was fresh tasting, and plentiful, but we both preferred the clams (a bigger helping). The half egg was perfect, the soup delicious, and noodle plentiful! We will come back soon. read more

No wait at 5:45 PM on a Monday. The decor inside is really charming and makes for a nice ambiance. Everything is done via the QR code at each table, and you pay on your phone immediately when you order, which makes it easy for groups wanting to pay separately. The menu is pretty extensive, and has pretty much something for everyone. I chose the spicy miso butter corn ramen, chicken karaage, and the umami Brussels sprouts. One friend chose the spicy miso ramen and another friend got the Chashu rice bowl. Everything came out quickly. The chashu rice bowl came with a bowl of super flavorful dashi broth. The chashu was tender, and had an egg, a big dollop of Japanese mayo, ginger, corn and green onions. Both spicy miso broths had a great depth of flavor. One was at the lowest spice level, which was a very small amount of heat. Mine was the next spice level up and it had more heat, but still not super spicy. One must-add to your bowl is the taberu fried garlic topping, which really sent the flavor over the top. We ended our meal with a matcha soft serve parfait, which came with lots of fun elements. The soft serve was on-point and full of matcha flavor. The three little rice balls were hard, though, and we set those aside. All in all, I can't wait to come back soon. read more

We couldn't get enough of the amazing ramen from Hinodeya and this time, we brought a bigger group with us! On this particular visit in the middle of the week, it was relatively more quiet. It wasn't as packed as it was on a Friday but still had a good churn of customers dining in and getting takeout. The staff were friendly and sat us at the larger table. We had asked them to put our name down ahead of time given we had a bigger party and anticipated more of a crowd during the peak lunch hour. We were seated right away and were given physical menus upon request so we could peruse without our phones. As it came highly recommended, the clam ramen was a popular one among the table but some also ventured to try the chicken and spicy miso butter ramen. They were all very flavorful, filling, and balanced with an assortment of protein, vegetables, and carbs. The consistency of quality is exceptional as the noodles were again cooked perfectly, eggs were marinated well, protein was packed with flavor and tasted fresh, and the broth was phenomenal. We also gave the fried oysters a try this time around and it was so worth it! They were so crispy on the outside and melted in our mouth from the inside. It came with five pieces and was perfect for our party size. We also noticed they have the cold version of the ramen available during the summer. As summer is just about coming to a close, we hope to make it back to give that a try as it does seem intriguing! We have only had cold soba before; cold ramen sounds unique! After our main courses, we were just about too full but we opted to partake in their soft serve. I got the full matcha one while a few others got the matcha and vanilla combination. The matcha is made with the now infamous matcha from Japan and the flavor is extremely distinct and noticeable. You have the option for it to be served on a cone or in a cup. I opted for the cone and it was quite a big dessert! There was a generous serving of the soft serve and the cone was crispy and held up, keeping all the soft serve from leaking to my hands. Perfect for on the go after that delicious meal. Overall, I'd have to give Hinodeya the nod here for the best ramen shop in the area when it comes to quality, uniqueness, portion, value, and service. There is still yet another shop to top it and until then, this is my go to for ramen, no doubt about it! Hopefully, you'll get a chance to try it, whether it's at this location or one of their three other locations along the Bay Area! read more

My first visit here - and definitely not my last! I tried the Hinodeya House Ramen, and found the soup base to be full of umami goodness, with a unique pork and scallop flavored broth. The chashu was very tender and the ramen noodles and marinated soft-boiled egg were perfectly prepared. Service was excellent, and wait time wasn't bad since they are so efficient. There are a dozen parking spots devoted to the restaurant, and a short walk to a larger nearby strip mall lot if necessary. Definitely recommend their ramen, and I will be back soon to try other menu items. read more

Hinodeya - Newark - House ramen - Ramen Near Me - Newark, California

Comfortable spot with pleasant people. Quantity of noodles is just enough... not too much. I ordered the clam ramen. Soup flavor was okay for me... not something memorable. Chicken was juicy and tender. I dont see myself NOT going back here... again, soup was decent and it is closer to home than my favorite spot. read more
