I was the first of a party of five to arrive here for a 222 organized event. After entering, I was seated at a nice back corner table within a couple of minutes. Although it was in the middle of the dinner rush, the waiter informed me they were (already) out of the green gyoza and yuzu soda. I asked him if given the nature of our party we could split the check, and he confirmed it was fine. My other party members eventually trickled in, but even after we were all seated, it took a while for our orders to be taken. After ordering, however, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I got the zen yuzu ramen for something light before going out to the bars, and it was absolutely the right call. I actually really liked the citrus flavored broth with veggies and inari, although the inari was a bit too sweet. Overall though, it was good and I would recommend this dish for those not wanting to feel too bloated or puffy after eating. Maybe next time though, I would try their house namesake specialty or popular spicy miso ramen.

Creamy soy ramen

Tokyo in San Francisco! Something about this city echos between the ears long after I've had to fly back to dull Indiana, sights and sounds, flavors and small inner rooms filled with a tree and skylights linger like old favorite pets. Us five guys couldn't get enough of this place, fantastic staff, huge menu, dynamic atmosphere showcasing crafted and inviting dining. Karage wasn't spicy like others but so good. Hunted for okonomiyaki, alas not here but the other four friends went for the large boxed meats and noodles, gyu-don which I keep forgetting that name. They loved it yet was way too much food for me! Hunted and began to panic what to get, it's tradition for me, then noticed a peculiar vegan soy based sauce ramen. Well why not? And boy did the hunch pay off, have never had such a smooth and drippy creamy dish before in any ramen shop. I'm forever a fan! You got to come here.

First time trying out this ramen place. We had the house ramen, spring rolls, and takoyaki. The ramen tasted fresh and delicious, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the service was quick. The ambiance was good and chill. Would probably check cleanliness, and the restroom could have been better; it had a weird smell.

Spicy miso ramen
Natalya S.

Had this on my list of ramen places to try for a while and finally decided to come in. Really cute interior with outdoor setting in both the front and back of the restaurant. The staff were friendly and quick to accommodate me and bring out my food. I ordered the spicy miso ramen which unfortunately was not spicy (at least to my tastebuds). I thought the ramen lacked a bit flavor but the miso/umami flavor was very present and the noodles were bouncy which I really enjoyed. Im glad I got to finally try this place out!

We stumbled upon this place because it wasn't busy! It was super unique and the wait time wasn't that long. We were seated right away! The food was really yummy! I've gotten the Guyudon with rice and the side of mini ramen! I would def love to come here again, and the patio outside was really unique and pretty!

I did not have a great experience at Hinodeya. The service is fast and the spring rolls were very good. However the veggie ramen I got lacked flavor entirely and I could not eat much. There was also way too much spinach which just overpowered the other vegetables. I've had good vegetarian ramen that had real flavor but this was definitely not it. Probably would not come back here again.

Great time for lunch - they have outdoor seating as well!

Today I wanted ramen for lunch. The service was quick and professional. I ordered the special with 2 items. I have have a mini ramen with rice. Price point is $25 for both. The ambiance reminds me of Japan and restaurants back in Honolulu. Spicy ramen very tasty!

Lunch special with unagi and creamy ramen
Tina R.

The creamy ramen is so delicious! I loved the crunchy garlic toppings they gave us to add to it. The noodles were nice and firm. The lunch special we ordered also came with unagi don, with a perfect half boiled egg, and rice. We also ordered the fried oysters which were thinly breaded and yum. Service is great!

Bar and inside seating

Soothing ambiance in the back area with an ancient tree and calming greenery, with courteous service and tasty food. I really enjoyed my ginger pork donburi with mini hinodeya ramen, and my friends liked their house ramens too. My donburi had the perfect amount of ginger, I would definitely return and have it again!

Spicy Miso Butter Corn Ramen
Mila J.

Good place for a nice dinner with friends, pitchers of beer are good for 4 servings, my friend ordered the matcha beer which is when the matcha is poured into the beer cup at tableside. Best thing about this place is that they offer vegan options for ramen in addition to bento boxes and other appetizers. I really enjoyed my spicy butter corn ramen, the spice is more on the mild side.

Beef sukiyaki bento and mini tonkatsu ramen - 5/21/25
Jenna T.

What a drastic difference from our first experience. I came in excited thinking I'd get the same plate as last time. But the portions and plates have downsized and the prices went up. You can look at the menu photos to compare prices, I don't have to tell you that it went up nearly $10 since our last visit. Lunch special where? I was too hangry to even consider searching for a different place to eat. So, I ate begrudgingly. The food was tasty and the service was still friendly, but the plate was not worth $26. Sorry, but I cannot rave about this place like I did before. Probably won't be coming back again.

Hamaguri Ramen (Littleneck Clams)
Thu N.

Hinodeya is a good spot to get some light, dashi-based ramen on a cold day in SF. I had ordered the hamaguri ramen at Hinodeya years ago and was nostalgic for the taste, which was why I ended up at this branch on Chestnut! They don't seem to do customized spiciness levels anymore -- instead, condiments are provided at your table for you to control your own levels of spice. The hamaguri ramen came topped with a generous portion of clams. I think the broth was a bit too light for me, so I ended up adding quite a bit of spice powder. The price is a bit premium, but it was filling and tasted healthy nonetheless.

Shishito Pepper (Vegan)
Amy T.

Slow service throughout our experience from check-in to ordering. The food did come quickly after that. The noodles were cooked very well today and I actually really enjoyed my Spicy Miso ($19). It is barely spicy which was fine because I also ordered shishito pepper ($9). I really liked the peppers, they're not too spicy and I like the soy sesame sauce. The meat gyozas $8 (5 pc) were also pretty good. For anyone wondering, the only difference for the butter corn version of Spicy Miso $21 is that it has butter and corn.

Came here to support my sister, Cuntalina Teeseeee, the girls and I have to say WOW!…read more The drag show was absolutely amazing and full of energy. From start to finish, it had the whole room dancing, clapping and screaming with joy. You can tell how much work goes into these performances and it truly shows. The Harry Potter themed vibe is also super unique. The lighting, the artwork, and the overall atmosphere make this place stand out from your typical drag brunch. If you're a Harry Potter fan, this spot is a must. The food was fresh and delicious, but let's talk about Nate the bartender, super cool, kind and welcoming. He really brings great energy to the space. Definitely try the Love Potion, it's a standout. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

For the muggles who are Harry Potter fans, this themed bar is the place for you!…read more I've been meaning to try this place out and stumbled upon it when we saw a line outside of Westwood. The themeing is so on point inside! Some of their drinks are interactive which adds on to the themes. My friend thought the wands were available for show and borrow and got charged $20 for the wand xD I gotta say the night we went, bartender was pretty slow... it almost felt like he forgot our order bc it would take a while and when finished making drinks it was actually another groups order. The bartender wasn't super busy either. The drinks were hit or miss, espresso martini they had on the menu is probably premade bc I asked to change the liquor and he said I wouldn't be getting the one that's on the menu. Tried the one on the menu and lowkey hated it, tastes watered down and bitter. Although I tried my friends "butterbeer" cocktail and omfg if you have to order something get that. It was so good. Drink costs were about $16-$18. For me, it was nice to try and a fun experience! But probably one and done ToT

The bun was sturdy burger was tasty. Will try the specialty burgers next and veggies burgers! The office will come by more often for burgers and fries/onion rings. Also, UB sauce was like a tangy bbq ketchup all dressing sort of sauce! It was good! Don't hesitate to try it out!

I wanted to like the food, but something about it will probably keep me from coming back…read more It was a downstairs bar that had football all around. We got here shortly after opening. They were out of a few things we wanted, which I could live with, but the food is what got me. Most of the reviews say the burgers were really good and the buns were good as well. I felt the buns might have been at the point where they were almost going stale. Like they wanted to be fresh, but something was holding them back from being fresh. Maybe if the buns had been warmed a bit, it would have helped. The onion rings weren't bad, a bit crunchy, more so than your average beer battered onion ring, but I suppose I would have to try them again to really say if I like them or not. I know it was early and it was a bar setting, but having to sit, not be given a menu, had to grab from a different table along the wall, go up and order, didn't sit well with me. Maybe it's just how the bar is? Not sure as I've never been. The bartender that took my order was nice and friendly. Decent place to watch a game? Sure, looking for a lunch spot for a quick bite? Probably not.
