This was my husband and I first time trying Hinodeya after seeing so many good reviews on Yelp. They also have other locations in San Francisco and Berkeley, but I haven't tried those yet. We ordered the Gyu-Don with Mini Ramen Spicy Miso for $23 and the Yu-Lin-Chi Don with Mini Ramen Spicy Miso for $22. Honestly, everything was delicious. Both the ramen and the don were really good, and I would definitely come back again. The service was great too. If you sign up for their rewards program by scanning the QR code, you get a free dessert. We chose the Yuzu Cheesecake, and it was yummy! I liked this location because the staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the decorations were nice. It had a nice Japanese vibes, and even the restroom was very clean. Maybe it was because it wasn't too busy when we went, but overall, we had a good experience. read more

Tried this place for the first time recently. It's Saitama style ramen and I'm glad to try a different style of ramen and feel so lucky that LA has so many spots that specialize in different styles but I must say that Saitama style just isn't my preferred ramen style. It was delicious and I'm particularly happy to see more places produce seafood ramen bowls but all together it's not a ramen style I would crave. Definitely give it a try if you've yet to try Saitama style ramen! read more

Just got back from a trip to Japan and really wanted a taste of what I had overseas so stopped into Hinodeya for that. Overall, it was a good experience however the Ramen itself wasn't as flavorful as some others that I've had and I felt the noodles were a bit too chewy. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. There is a large free parking lot attached in back so parking was really easy. Inside is pretty small so there may be a wait if it's crowded but also many people seem to get to go orders. For this visit, I chose the Spicy Miso Soup Butter Corn and added a side of beef, which I enjoyed. Ramen is always a comfort meal to me so it did hit the spot on a cold night. It was a nice dinner and I would recommend however it is not my favorite ramen in Los Angeles. read more

We ordered take out last night and it was the first time for me to have their ramen. This is my daughter's go-to ramen place. Yes, parking is difficult when picking up, but the ramen was delicious! I appreciate the packing of ingredients separately so that the noodles didn't overcook. Their takeout service is great! Once assembled I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl of ramen! The egg was cooked perfectly, and the broth was delicious. read more

Hinodeya is in the shopping center across from Trader Joe's so there is plenty of parking. Came here for lunch after yoga and it was such a nice easy casual spot. Service was super sweet and took care of us so well. We ordered the crispy chicken karaage, spicy miso ramen, and an unsweetened green tea. The karaage was aggressively crispy, almost more crunch than chicken, but still good with the mayo sauce. The real highlight was the ramen. The broth was so rich and comforting with the option to add more spice powder and crispy garlic. Left full, warm, and happy read more

I am writing this review on my personal tastes and pallete. I eat a lot of ramen. I am quite picky with my ramen too. LA has mostly tonkatsu (pork broth) ramens. I want a very good shoyu, shiu (salt), or miso ramen. I was excited when I heard that Hinodeya has some non-tonkatsu ramen's. When I eat a ramen I can tell from the first bite (the broth) on whether I will like it or not. That first bite almost gives me anxiety, because it's a commitment to eat a whole bowl of ramen. From appearance it looks great. Pork looks tender. Egg isn't overcooked. A variety of vegetables. Slight oil dancing on the top of the broth. All very good. However, the broth just didn't add up for me. A slight too much fish sauce or anchovy gave the ramen a fish taste too far for an American pallate. I wasn't expecting this. I know each ramen batch is different and maybe I came on an off night. I still give them 4 stars though because the ingredients felt good. Noodles were good, pork very flavorful and tender. Just the broth wasn't delicious. It was so close though. Just went overboard with the fish. I was greeted right away when I entered the restaurant. Within 20 minutes of being seated in the empty restaurant it was full by the time we left. The shrimp tempura was "okay". Not bad, and not the best I've ever had. read more

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night, and the place was pretty busy. Service seems to move fairly quickly though, so my husband and I didn't have to wait long after putting our names down on the waitlist. My husband got the Hinodeya House Ramen, and I got the Umami Tonkatsu Ramen. Flavorwise, the broth seemed pretty simple to us, but everything was made well. The tonkatsu was crispy when it first came out. The portions are small for the price. I recommend getting an appetizer or extra protein if you're hungry and want to stay full. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is located on a lot with Trader Joe's and CVS, which includes parking. read more

After a handful of stellar experiences at this authentic Japanese Ramen restaurant, came here on Wednesday for lunch with a dear friend and was shocked at how poor the service was. Perhaps the daytime crew is just not up to snuff, but when I walked in, I was ignored for several minutes while a lone waiter rushed around. I finally caught his eye and he asked where I wanted to sit. Told him I was meeting someone and was told well, sit wherever you want when she gets here. Fine. She arrived a moment later and we sat ourselves down. No one came to bring us water or even menus. After five minutes or so we got up and got our own menus. Still no acknowledgment. After another five minutes or so, my friend got the attention of a young waitress, who seemed to be the only other one working tables, and asked whether we could place our orders. The food was still as good as I remember; however, no one came to check on us and in the end we even had to ask to pay our bill. So the food was good, but we felt ignored the whole time. I've only ever been here for dinner; so I don't know if they are training new daytime staff or what. But this was a definite shocker after a handful of stellar service experiences. I hope it's a one-off, I really do. read more

Food- I ordered Spicy Miso Ramen and their combo Beef donburi rice bowl with mini ramen. All the foods tasted good but I wish it was more spicy while eating the spicy ramen though. In Beef donburi bowl, sukiyaki beef is sweet and tender and good flavors. But I wish they give more meat for the price of $23.00 combo. Not much beef and a lot of rice underneath. Service- fast service and staff made sure we got what we ordered. read more

Went to Hinodeya on a whim after seeing a movie last night and our usual go to, Venice Ramen was closing soon. We were very pleasantly surprised. Almost no wait for a table after 8:45. Rounding up a little to 4 stars. Good noodles well cooked. Legit dashi broth with tender vegetables (the bamboo shoots weren't like chewing on shoe leather). The Chashu pork that comes with the House Ramen was very flavorful and the perfectly cooked egg was a nice touch. The Gyoza were a little overly small but were only $7. Maybe next time we'll try the Karaage. There is an authentic feel to the interior, kind of a "Ramen Joint" vibe that works well. Not fancy but adequate. All in all, Hinodeya Ramen was a perfect spur of the moment selection that is one of the best values around. Thank you Yelp! read more

Hands down the best vegan ramen I've ever had. It keeps me coming back for more and more. Staff are also very attentive and friendly. I love how they beat the drum when you arrive and also hear them speaking Japanese, so the overall ambiance is also on point. Love this place! read more

Ramen was alright not really a spot I would go out of my way to come back to again to be honest. Soda is 3$ straight over taxing.

This place deserves more hype. Authentic, hole in the wall Japanese spot with kind wait staff and attentive service right here in Palms. My boyfriend and I came for lunch after a long workout, and the food hit the spot. We started with a spicy edamame that actually had some kick (!!), unlike other Japanese spots we've been to. We both got the spicy miso butter corn ramen, and it was some of the best ramen I've had here in LA. Broth is robust, and the noodles are perfectly thick and chewy. Chashu was super tender. Delicious overall, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Hard thing to get in LA for a restaurant is parking. They have a shared parking lot. That's definitely a plus. Inside it's clean and well themed. We ordered the house ramen. Hinodeya Ramen: Carefully prepared umami-happy dashi broth made with bonito flakes, kombu seaweed, scallop bouillon, and pork oil. Wheat noodles, Chashu pork, Menma (bamboo shoots), Ajitsuke tamago (marinated soft-boiled egg), Nori seaweed, Baby spinach, Green onion, Sesame seeds, Chili strings Absolutely enjoyed the chewiness of the noodles. On the table you can top your soup with I can't recall if it was fried garlic or onion. That was a nice touch. Service was good. read more

January 1st, First restaurant of 2026, I came here at 5pm and got seated quickly. More people showed up at 6 and a waitlist was formed. They had three good waiters. They ran out of Hokkaido Hotate Ramen for the night, better call ahead next time. Nevertheless the Spicy Miso Ramen was great. I went for the level 4 Asura Level spice. It was about a 2/5 spicy for me though. not enough to be painful. There was a crunchy add-on crispy flakes on the table. Clean restroom, love that. Ramen was enough to make me slightly full. Delicious. Will come again to try other items. read more

First time coming here to this local ramen spot near our home. A lot of history here as they have been around for a long time. Nice little Japanese restaurant with cozy vibes. My wife and I had their delicious ramen and had side orders of shrimp tempura, gyoza, chicken karaage and edamame. Delicious sides and rich creamy broth in my spicy miso ramen order and my wife got the house special ramen with pork. Excellent choice as we were satisfied with our noodle cravings. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you for the wonderful service. read more

It's not everyday you can find a delicious, dashi-based clam ramen! I honestly didn't have the highest expectations for this place given I'm pretty picky about my ramen, but I was pleasantly surprised with the broth and quality of the noodles and toppings! Hinodeya specializes in dashi based broths which I'm a huge fan of since most places in the US serve tonkotsu broth based ramen. Dashi is a traditional stock of bonito skipjack tuna (katsuo) and konbu seaweed, making a broth brimming with umami. My favorites were their sukiyaki ramen and their hamaguri (clam) ramen, since the both was light and flavorful, but still packed with umami flavors. The sukiyaki wasn't the sweetest, but it paired nicely with the rest of the ingredients. The spicy miso was also a great option, with the chasu, ramen egg, and bamboo shoots being such tasty toppings. Besides their ramen, a must get appetizer is the yu lin chi karaage which is sweet, savory, tender, and juicy, making it perfect by itself or with a bowl of rice. Their takoyaki and gyoza were just okay, so I would probably not get them again. They have multiple locations in California, and this place was packed by the end of the night. I would 100% come back for the clam ramen and their yu lin chi karaage. They're located in the Palms/Culver City area, in the same plaza as the Trader Joe's there. Highly recommend checking it out, especially of you're a fan of dashi based ramens like me. read more

I first visited Hinodeya Ramen last year with my husband. While he was not impressed, I thought the restaurant was quite good. I went back for a second visit and wow. WTH? While the food smelled great, it tasted horrible and almost immediately afterwards I had raging abdominal cramps for hours (food poisoning?). Service was obsequious and ambiance is somewhat boring and plain but it's in a mall - so basic is what you can expect. Um, BUYER BEWARNED. Ugh. Never again. read more

We ordered delivery from this place and the ramen was really umami.The main reason why this place is so good is because they weren't greedy with the meat. Usually in ramen spots, the ramen would cost $20-25 and they would give you a small piece of meat and a small portion. At this place, they gave you 3 gigantic pieces of meat (we took the house ramen) that was really flavorful and very filling. I even left some for tomorrow because it was too much. The broth was full of flavor and very tasty, the noodles were well cooked, and the meat was very tender. They also had some cool ingredients that they put in there (slightly salty bamboo,mushrooms,nori seaweed and chili strings). The bamboo tasted really unique and tasty, but the mushrooms tasted a little weird for me. read more

Parking: available on a Monday night Hours: I appreciate this place is open late and very close to LAX. Perfect meal to get before driving home. Food: got the seasonal ramen and I thought the portion was perfect. Not too much or too little. I LOVE the noodles. The broth was not favorite but that is just a preference. I'd say this is quality ramen for a decent price and I would definitely come here again. Menu: super simple. Apps, ramen, and drinks Service: restaurant was very clean and service was great read more

I was really hoping I'd like Hinodeya but the broth was too fishy for me. Also expensive. Ordered the butter miso and SO ordered the house ramen. I'm sure others enjoy it as evidenced by the good reviews but clearly I need to stick to pork ramen. read more

I should have left the moment the Costco tempura shrimp arrived at our table. The signature soup base was salty, the chasu was just soso and the tonkatsu i feel was premade and bought in bulk as it lacked that certain crunchiness that good tonkatsu has. Over all, chain restaurants like this is a fail in any moderate knowledgable foodie's book. read more

Truly exceptional quality ramen. Wonderful service. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood!!

8:30 Wed night stop in, placed was packed but by 9:30 had emptied out. Service was prompt, I ordered the hinodeya house ramen, with a side of green gyoza and brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were amazing the green gyoza and dipping sauce was delicious and the ramen hit the spot, I should have ordered a spicier ramen. Everything was great. Will definitely be back read more

I'm soooooo tempted to not leave any review but I shall do so for THE PEOPLE!!!!! This place is THE BOMB. So I'm super into the ramen here because they have a lighter broth that's clear for most or all? of the ramens. That's usually not what you expect when you think of ramen. Most people are only familiar with the pork bone broth (tonkatsu) but I find that it's usually too heavy for me. And that's why some of my friends said they didn't like the ramen here but for me??? I'm in love. I've only had amazing experiences here and the staff is so friendly! There's a parking lot but it's shared with Trader Joe's so be careful when parking. Their parking lots are notorious for being crazy. Also they have table side ordering and payment so it's super quick and fast! I suppose...you should check it out...just hoping I'll be able to get in when I want to read more

Hinodeya has caused me to shuffle my list of the Top 3 ramen places in L.A. This new outpost of a Japanese ramen shop features thicker ramen noodles with just the right amount of chew. And, the pork chashu is so well-constructed and presented. I've only tried the Spicy Miso ramen in my two visits, but it is a crave-worthy bowl and is well-priced for the generous portion. The yolk in the half-egg is the perfect slightly jammy consistency. Ambience is spare, but clean. They keep the focus on the food here. Service with a smile, ample parking (shares parking lot with Trader Joe's), and right across the street from one of my favorite boba places, Ume Boba. Try Hinodeya and it'll become part of your ramen rotation. Bon Appétit. read more

I'd heard great things about this place and had to try it! I went here on a weekday night with my boyfriend, we were greeted and served immediately by a friendly server. The dining space is good sized, clean, and quiet. We ordered the spicy miso ramen (11/10!!), the signature ramen (9/10), and the chicken karaage (10/10). All dishes came out within 8 minutes and were absolutely delicious. As any good yelper, I went to take a photo of the food and one of the servers came up and shined a light on it to make them better, it was a super cute interaction :) Overall, amazing staff, amazing food, and amazing service!! read more

Hinodeya has a few locations in the Bay Area. I've been wanting to try it in the Bay Area, but never had a chance to - so when the stars aligned one weekend and I noticed one opened HERE in SoCal, I jumped at the chance to try it! I love seafood, so of course I had to try the Hamaguri/clam ramen. Not a lot of ramen places have a seafood ramen, so I was ecstatic to try it. It was full of flavor and I loved the taste of the clams and the broth. Service was OK, they basically just dropped it off and left me alone. Parking is atrocious since it's in a plaza with a popular Trader Joe's. I can't see myself coming back to this location sadly, because the parking is just that bad. I will have to try locations in the Bay Area. read more

The service is very good and the ambiance is excellent. However, the management doesnt really do anything about complaints made about its food. The shrimp tempera was very crunchy and hard today not soft at all. I told the manager who stopped by the table - he said thank you for the feed back, but didnt offer to bring any new shrimp or redo the shrimp tempura. I think if the customer makes a statement about it being unsatisfactory after the manager goes out of his way to ask how things are, they should do something such as. redo the dish which 98 percent of restaurants may do. Instead, it was a big '"nothing to do" response. I was disappointed by it. read more

When we got there just after 5pm on Friday no one greeted us. We sat down and the waiter brought us water but said nothing and walked away. You have to order off the QR code and pay right away... so basically no service. The potstickers were really yummy though, fresh skin! Ramen however is underwhelming... the noodles I like in general but would be better for stir fry, as they do not soak up any flavor. The broth is just okay also and the char siu had barely any flavor. Don't need to come back again. Ambiance is warm (hot) and music is just acoustic. read more
