Long time fan of this ramen house. Historically a 5 star, best ramen in Dallas but has changed…read more I had tonkatsu ramen and shishito peppers. The shishito peppers were swimming in sauce, albeit the sauce is tasty, it was WAY too much. The ramen was 5 star, as always. It was disappointingly served in a chipped bowl, which is inexcusable to me. The kitchen should never serve food on or in a damaged dish. Throw it away. The table was sticky (maybe from a prior order of shishito peppers, lol) and I had to request and wait for it to be wiped down. The restroom was in need of attention and cleaning. Service was pleasant but not very attentive. Hostess was slow to seat me because she was chatting with coworkers. While the ramen (only) was outstanding, the rest of the experience was unpleasant. While I will be going again because the ramen is great, I really hope management looks at the change in attention to important matters and addresses accordingly.

Crab noodles: VERY generous amount of crab meat. Super creamy, seafood forward flavor. If you like shellfish, this is for you. Dan Dan noodles: Lighter flavor profile compared to other Dan Dan noodles I've tried. Refreshing! Scallion oil noodles: this was my favorite. The sauce is addicting and the noodle texture is so addicting. Love the crispy fried scallions on top. A must order. Beef noodles soup: Also very solid choice. The broth is clean and the beef is tender. Lots of veggies on top which I like. Skewers: they're all pretty solid and have similar cumin seasonings. I think the beef/lamb was my favorite. Very "futuristic" vibe inside. Good amount of parking.

Food: ~ Fried eggplant with house sauce (0/5): I did not…read morelike this at all!! The breading/sauce was so sweet and had an odd flavor..it tastes like candy. Only ate a bite. ~ Beef, shrimp, and chicken fried noodle (3.5/5): taste like hu tieu ap chao but a bit oilier. This was was good but I think it would be better with some pickled peppers or spicier. I would have also liked it hot rather than luke-warm. ~ Pork belly noodle soup (3.5/5) + spicy + numbing: the broth was rich and flavorful! We added the spicy and numbing customization but it wasn't that spicy and wasn't numbing at all. This dish was also luke-warm. Service: You walk in and choose your own table unless you're ordering to-go (then you order at the kiosk up front). If dining in, there's a QR code on the table to scan and order online. You can continue ordering and the kitchen will make it and send it to your table. When ready for the check, the app will send a notification to a server that brings out the check.. kind of defeats the purpose of doing everything through the website. They seemed extremely short staffed with only one server. You won't be able to ask for any condiments, napkins, to-go box, etc. as nobody stops by your table and it was difficult to get the attention of the server at all... we asked for an extra bowl which we never received. Ambiance: the place isn't that big and had a steady flow of customers. I liked how it wasn't too loud and was a good place to catch up with my friend.

Karaage was pretty dry and tough but the age mochi was great. Shishitos also good but it's hard to mess those up. Eggplant itself was not particularly well cooked but the savory blueberry miso sauce on it was great. Mentaiko don was tiny and not much was done to it, so recommend trying some of the other dons and ramens out instead. Really like that they give you the option of adding noodles for an additional fee because we had a lot of dipping broth left and just got some more noodles to go with it! Service was warm and the ambience was super cute. Would definitely come back for ramen and to try some of the other options. Hoping the construction situation in Deep Ellum becomes less untenable soon!

Some meals are delicious, and some become a memory you know you'll carry with you. Our Friday…read moreevening at Một Hai Ba was absolutely the latter. One of the best meals I've had in Dallas, and honestly, one of the most memorable meals I've had anywhere. We walked in around 6:30 p.m., spontaneously hoping the universe might have two seats available for us. Pablo greeted us at the door, and by the hair of our chinny chin chin, we landed two seats at the bar. This was my second visit and my partner's first, and I could not have imagined a better way to experience it together. At the bar, we met Gabe, who feels very much like the godfather of Một Hai Ba. He welcomed us, shared a little of the restaurant's history, and immediately made us feel at home. We started with a beautiful German Sauvignon Blanc, something I hadn't realized Germany produced. It had this delicate, floral nose that reminded me of Riesling, followed by lovely tropical notes. Such a beautiful start. The hamachi was bright, nuanced, and full of umami, with the lightest smokiness and char balanced by fresh crunch and a beautiful sauce. The buns with their spicy sauce were phenomenal. Then came the kimchi rice balls, which reminded me of arancini: a delicate, wonderfully crunchy exterior giving way to a creamy, decadent center. The kimchi brought this fresh brightness that balanced all that richness. Every element made the next taste better. The pork and shrimp tempura was another standout. The sauce was tart and rich, with a savory, almost fish-like tang that complemented the crunchy batter and the pork and shrimp inside. But the dill on top really surprised me. To my palate, it brought this fresh, almost lemony aromatic quality. I never imagined dill could come across that way, and I loved it. And then the shaken beef. I cannot say enough about this dish. The beef was so delicate and tender that it barely needed a knife. The sauce had this beautiful balance of sweetness, saltiness, and deep umami. The tomatoes were lightly charred yet still cool and fresh, giving each bite a bright, juicy burst. Spoon that sauce over the jasmine rice, and honestly, I could have kept eating it all night. We finished with the Basque cheesecake and peaches from Tyler, East Texas. The cheesecake was so light and custardy that it reminded me of flan. The sweet peaches, star anise, and fragrant herbal notes made it such a beautiful ending. Even after everything we had eaten, this was a dessert worth savoring. What made the evening extraordinary was how it all came together. The textures, flavors, aromatics, and hospitality felt like storytelling. Nothing felt disconnected. There was something to discover in every dish. A huge thank-you to Pablo, Gabe, and Kate, aka Trouble. I had a very, very long week, and you made this evening feel special in a way I truly needed. There is something wonderful about ending your week somewhere that feels like being welcomed into someone's home. Một Hai Ba reminds me of a little jewel box tucked away in a corner. Then you open it, and there are all these beautiful jewels shimmering inside, with a little ballerina turning in the mirrors. That is the feeling this restaurant gave me. Intimate, full of surprises, and absolutely magical. So deserving of its Bib Gourmand recognition. Please go experience it for yourself.

I had pretty high hopes for Mot Hai Ba after hearing about it everywhere on social media, getting…read morerecommendations from friends, and seeing that it was recognized by the Michelin Guide. After finally visiting, I'd say it was a good experience overall, but the food itself didn't quite live up to the hype. Don't get me wrong, the food tasted good, but not great, and definitely didn't feel worth the price. My favorite dish of the night was easily the shaken beef, which was incredibly tender and juicy. However, the rest of the dishes felt a little lackluster in comparison. What really stood out was the presentation. The plating was professional, simple, and elegant, and honestly, that was the highlight of the food for me. The service, on the other hand, was phenomenal and easily the best part of our experience. The waiters were attentive without being overbearing, frequently checked in to make sure everything was going well, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. They even brought us a hot sauce that was fantastic, which was a great little touch. The atmosphere was another strong point. The restaurant has a great vibe that reminded me of somewhere you'd find in New York City, especially with the patio seating. Even the restroom gave me New York vibes: tiny, but it gets the job done. My biggest complaint, though, is the parking. There's no dedicated parking situation that makes visiting convenient, so you're left searching for a spot around the area and walking back to the restaurant. Thankfully, I got lucky with an open spot at the gas station across the street, but parking shouldn't feel like part of the dining experience. Overall, I'd put Mot Hai Ba at a solid 3-4 out of 5 stars. The service and atmosphere were excellent, and the shaken beef was definitely worth trying. However, the food as a whole didn't justify the price for me, and the parking situation was frustrating. I'm glad I got to experience it, but I left feeling like the restaurant's reputation and presentation slightly outshined the actual food

Overall: 4.6/5 [delivery]…read more This was not a cheap meal but it was one of the best meals we have had delivered. The food was filling and tasted phenomenal. I accidentally mixed up the broth and curry so we essentially ended up with curry ramen, but honestly it was delicious so it worked out. I did not realize the ramen broth is a dashi broth, which is clear instead of cloudy, so I mistook the curry for the ramen broth. Clearly my brain was not working that night but it ended up being a happy accident. One thing to note is that they charge extra for spice levels above level 2 and the price increases with each level. We got level 3 for both items and it was genuinely spicy. You will feel it while eating and definitely after as well. Hinodeya Special ($20.70) + Oni-kara Level 3 ($1) + Naruto ($1.50) + Inari Fried Sweet Tofu ($3) = $26.20: We swapped to spinach noodles which worked really well. The naruto came in 4 big thick slices but did not have much flavor to me. The tofu came in 3 small thin strips that were sweet but I did not think they were worth the add on price. Sukiyaki Curry ($22.42) + Oni-kara Level 3 ($1) + Spicy Pork ($4.50) = $27.92: You can tell this is homemade curry because the color and taste were completely different from the store bought curry roux you typically find elsewhere. It was creamy and made from a pork stock soup which is apparently also used in their ramen. The beef was a bit too fatty for me but I absolutely loved the spicy pork. I loved both items and will 100% be reordering from here. Can not wait to try their other items too.

My family and I had an excellent dining experience at Hinodeya Ramen around the 4th of July. After…read morecruising Trader Joes, we wandered over for lunch and it was truly a remarkable experience. Our server was attentive, provided us menus and the restaurant's decor created a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that transported me back to Okinawa Japan. After traveling abroad, it is especially refreshing to find authentic Japanese cuisine in the United States, and Hinodeya Ramen truly stands out in that regard. We ordered several katsu curry plates, bento boxes for the children, and started with an order of gyoza as an appetizer. The gyoza arrived crisp on the outside with a juicy filling that we demolished within minutes of being placed on the table. The katsu curry arrived as crispy cutlets paired with a thick, curry sauce that was rich and delicious. The chicken bento boxes contained a variety of vegetables, rice and their selection of proteins. Our meal was flavorful, and absolutely delicious. This establishment also brought back memories for my sister and me of our time serving abroad in Okinawa. The rich flavors, the spicy curry, and the authenticity of the cooking made it feel like a small return to Japan. Finding Japanese food that encompasses those flavors is not easy to find, but this restaurant truly delivered. I highly recommend Hinodeya Ramen for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience in Dallas. It will absolutely be my go-to spot whenever I'm back in the area!
