Hiroshi Ramen

Been here more than several times. Today, I visited on a Tuesday at 12:30p and was able to be seated immediately. I always enjoy their fried chicken cartilage and Tantanmen Ramen. The chicken cartilage is super crunchy and not oily. Usually, they serve it with a Japanese aioli type sauce on the side, but not today, however I did not miss it....more unneeded calories! The ramen noodles are nice & chewy, the broth is flavorful, and there are many ingredients making it almost stew-like. Delicious! Oh, and excellent service always!!

It tastes good. However, I feel like the noodles are undercooked and not enough soup in the bowl (proportion a little off). I also think soup isn't hot enough when it was served. Price is okay I understand that the location needs to bump the price

Great option to have good quality Ramen. The only issue is their fan system inside, your body and clothes smells food. Hope they can improve the fan system. Ramens are so yummy though 😋

As an Japanese Ramen chef, here is my 2 cents: 1. Many people claims the noodle is undercoocked, that is not true. These thin noodles are supposed to be boiled this way. Softer noodles are typically considered as negative in Japan. I think they boiled the noodle in very decent amount of time. 2. People also claims the broth is salty. Here is the problem: when people feel salty, most of the time the problem is not the amount of salt but other reasons. I think their problem is a lack of MSG and salt. Surprised? 1) Pork broth needs significant amount of MSG because Pork does not contains enough Glutamate but instead a lot of Inosinic acid. 2) Because their broth is actually pretty thick, they need to add more salt to taste these Umami flavors. 3. Egg is properly "soft-boiled" compared to "American-ramen-chain-soft-boiled eggs" which I consider them undercooked. 4. Their Pork chashu is too thick IMO, also lack of flavor. Should slice way more thinner for this type of Ramen bowl.

3.5 ⭐️Best (or only) ramen place in town 😂, although doesn’t taste special/ authentic. We go there frequently because it’s convenient. Service speed can be improved a lot. They’re always busy on the weekends and understaffed. We usually get seated right away but still have to wait for like half an hour to get our bowl of ramen.

Really nice restaurant for tasty ramen and chicken karaage is really good! Would recommend this place!

Ramen Hitoyoshi is a cozy spot with tasty, comforting ramen that feels both simple and satisfying. The broth is rich and creamy but not too salty, and there are options like original, garlic, or spicy tonkotsu depending on how strong you like the flavor. The noodles are thin and slightly firm, so they stay springy in the soup and are easy to slurp. The chashu pork is tender and flavorful, and the soft-boiled egg has a melty yolk that makes the bowl feel more special. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and portions are generous enough to be very filling. Overall, Ramen Hitoyoshi is a great choice if you want a straightforward, well-made bowl of tonkotsu ramen without anything too fancy or complicated.

Ramen Hiroshi offers decent vegetarian noodles, which is a pleasant surprise for a spot located in a mall. The flavors were satisfying, and the noodles had a good texture. It’s a convenient place to grab a comforting bowl of ramen without venturing too far. While it’s not the most outstanding ramen I’ve had, it’s definitely a solid option if you’re in the area and looking for something vegetarian-friendly. I’d happily return for another bow

Meh. My expectations weren't high but it's a beautiful restaurant and not crowded. Ordered one bowl of ramen and a side of rice. After 20 mins of waiting I was shocked that the ramen was lukewarm. So sad! Obviously ate it but not once was approached by staff for a fork, or a refill or even the bill. Had to stand at the front podium and wait to be given the bill. I'm sure people like this place. I've been to better and won't come back here.

Nice location inside City Center Bishop Ranch. We requested for outside seating and it was setup quickly with a heater. We liked all the appetizers we ordered. Renkon chips hit the right flavors. Deep Fried Gyouza is fried to the apt amount and juicy inside, meat was delicious. Takoyaki was melting in the mouth. Portions were okay. Coming to the Ramen, we were disappointed big time. Except Tantanmen there is no other creamy ramen options. Miso Ramen was just miso broth without any additional flavors, chicken was undercooked, too less broth. We didn’t like Yuzu Vegetarian Ramen even, similar stuff, broth wasn’t flavorful, too less broth for the ramen quantity. There is additional broth option on the menu but not at the cost of giving less than required broth in the ordered ramen. Prices are okay for the setting but there is lot of work needed in Ramen department when compared to most ramen joints in Bay Area.

Visited here on Friday around 1:45pm for late lunch. We were seated immediately and we ordered right away. i ordered chicken karaage for appetizer and 2 bowls of hiroshi tonkotsu ramen. This was everything kinda downhill. We had to wait for almost 20 minutes for the ramen. That was after I asked the server because I saw 2 tables who came after us got their food first. The chicken karaage (that was supposed to be an appetizer) came last after I asked another server to check on it. I also had to ask for napkins and water refill. I am disappointed at the service despite the friendliness of the servers. Now the food. I ate at Ramen Hiroshi at Walnut Creek last year and remembered that the ramen was good. Here, I was disappointed at the broth. The broth was flat - lack of umami flavor. However, I still like the firm thin ramen & the sweet chasiu. I had to take out the pickled ginger like last time in Walnut Creek because it tasted weird with the ramen imo. The chicken karaage was good. The skin was crispy but the meat was tender. The portion for the karage was good for the price. Not sure I would come back here in the future but it was a decent bowl of ramen.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Upon entering, the server didn’t greet us and simply pointed to a table from a distance. We sat down, and she left a dish with a thick sauce without explaining what it was. After handing us the menus, she quickly left and later returned to take our order. We ordered two veggie soups and a soda. About five minutes later, a cook brought out our food. The veggie soup was just okay, nothing special, and I didn’t even finish it. I felt it was overpriced compared to better ramen I've had elsewhere. After reading other reviews, I realize it wasn’t worth it, but I wanted to try it to see for myself. I won’t return. I’m giving 3 stars for the clean environment and dishes only. The customer service wasn’t great, but we still tipped $5.

It's ok. Not for the ramen purists. Too much toppings. Broth is not hot enough, which is fundamental for a good bowl of ramen.

This is one of the three worst Ramen I have ever had. I think they forgot to add salt to the soup. The noodles were too soft and terrible. We couldn't even eat half of it. When I entered the restaurant I was taken to my seat without being greeted. They are boringly accommodating without a smile or a word when it comes time to pay the bill. I will not be coming back again.

OMG... I was looking forward to this place. Great location and nicely decorated. The service was generally good. However, the key thing going to a restaurant is the FOOD and that fell short. The Gyoza was baked fried, bread like, filled with veggies. I had both Tonkatsu Ramen dishes and the noodles were under cooked, the so-called soft boiled egg was hard boiled and cold??? The soup was extremely salty. I will not be eating here again unfortunately.
