Delicious Food and cozy ambiance. Thank you Tita Paloma for a very warm and great service. Food was sooo good.

Lunch special is an excellent portion, the ramen does not disappoint - the flavor is 10/10, the atmosphere & music were a vibe, and the service was the BEST. Paloma took such excellent care of us, especially since I had my 16 month old. She was super sweet and attentive and made sure we had everything we needed plus entertainment for my daughter. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and will def be back!

This is one of the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had, perhaps the best ever. I got the house “Hinodeya” ramen, and it checks all the boxes: decent price, good portion, and full of umami deliciousness. The wheat noodles are tender and, despite being mildly on the al dente side on arrival, softened up nicely over the course of my meal. Service was fast and the atmosphere is relaxing. I highly recommend stopping by for a bowl.

Delicious! Loved the ambiance and staff are so sweet and attentive. I tried the shrimp tempura bento box with small ramen and it was the perfect amount of food! Definitely will be coming back!

Thoroughly enjoyed the vegan broth ramen, the broth was delicious. Loved the kabocha squash, although it was cut very very small. I don't normally like or eat much ramen but this was great. Also surprised how nice the interior was here. Staff was very friendly and accommodating as well.

I eat here often and everyone that works here provides great service that exceeds expectations. A special shoutout to Paloma who always remembers my order and special requests. She’s an outstanding asset to Hinodeya.

I love the vegan creamy ramen. The inari tofu is so good. The kale is crispy and salty. It’s my favorite vegan ramen. I also like the green gyoza. My non-vegan friend got the lunch special. He said the katsu was really good. The lunch special ramens are simpler, just noodle with broth and light veggie. Overall, a San Fransisco favorite.

Paloma is a great server at Hinodeya. She is quick to greet and very hospitable with her friendly personality. Paloma is the main reason we dine here :) She is prompt and efficient, making sure we are served quickly and with orders to our liking. The financial district location is vastly different from Japantown--its much more high end with elegant decor and high ceilings. Plenty of tables as well to accommodate small to large parties. It's however oddly located in the middle of a nondescript alley by the Transamerica, making foot traffic a bit questionable. I appreciate the lunch specials offered here and will definitely look forward to returning again soon. The house ramen was absolutely delicious, generously packed with fresh ingredients and full complex flavors. Thanks Paloma, see you later!

Went to San Francisco in the beginning of the month. To be completely honest we still talk about how amazing it was. The experience we had and how delicious the food was. Our server Paloma was the absolute best. We’re definitely going back whenever we’re back in San Fran.

Paloma was amazing, she made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal! I really loved the ramen, I got the spicy miso: the noodles had a great texture, the broth was full of flavor without being too rich, and I could even taste the subtle smokiness in the egg. Everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared!

Feels like a trendy ramen shop. I had the takoyaki and house ramen. The takoyaki was AMAZING! I initially thought the ramen was a bit bland but it felt light and when I helped myself to some spices it became really good. Recommend to try if you’re in the neighbourhood

Was here for lunch - we had the bento sets, and there were great. I love the creamy ramen in particular. Paloma was very nice. She’s a super star. Pleasant experience overall. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to eat at, Japanese music, they hit the drum everytime someone comes in, service was great and friendly. The House ramen which was I got was good, the broth was flavorful, light but was rich in flavor. Every bite had me craving for me. The only disappointment was as the draft super dry asahi was a bit warm and the level 10 spice was more like a level 2-3. I probably would've enjoyed it more with a cup of the hot sauce. I definitely recommend this place.

Very nice establishment, clean and comfortable. I encountered at least 4 different staff members, each of whom was friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and no one made me feel like a baka gaijin. I had the fried shishito pepper appetizer and the house ramen [spicy level]. Absolutely delicious. The pork melted, the broth was delightful, and the noodles were perfect. Highly recommend!

You have to try their gyoza! I’m usually not a big pork fan, but the chicken-pork mix was amazing, and the sauce it comes with is fantastic. The Yu Lin Chi chicken bento box is a must—perfectly cooked chicken paired with a really good ramen base. The chicken itself is so flavorful, especially with the sweet and sour sauce. The atmosphere is classy and inviting, which made the experience even better. The only downside was the edamame portion—it was a bit small compared to other ramen spots in the same $6–$8 price range where we usually have leftovers. The service was more hands-off than I’m used to; we waited a bit for the check and weren’t checked on much during the meal, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, I was very happy with my visit and would definitely come back

4.4 stars - a very interesting experience at Hinodeya during Thursday lunch. Although there were plenty of seating we were given a tiny table where I knew I would spill my food. I requested the waitress if we could move but she declined my request until I persistently asked a second time, after which we were moved to a shared table. We ordered the combination gyu-don with a side of Hinodeya ramen as well as a full order of Hinodeya ramen. Both had flavorful broth and well-cooked meat. It is worth noting the bamboo shoots in the broth were difficult to chew and we had to add garlic crisps and chili seasoning to take the dishes to another level. After the initial experience our wait staff was extremely attentive but maybe overly friendly, as one of them kept asking us questions such as if it was our first time and what our ethnicities were. Another misheard our order, and so I had to wait additional minutes for my side ramen to come out.

Very nice interior, great service, but was not super impressed by the ramen. It was good, but I guess I was expecting better from everything I had heard. We really enjoyed the karaage with the sweet and spicy sauce (forgot the name), but the ramen broth just wasn’t my favorite compared to others I’ve had elsewhere. I got the house ramen and husband got the spicy miso, I think I liked his better.

We had the lunch specials, beef gyudon with ramen and chicken terriyaki with ramen. They were both great tasting and serving size is just right. Our attendant Paloma is so accommodating and helpful. Thank you Paloma, you're the best!!!

Honestly I was disappointed- I was really excited to try since this is one of my friends favorite restaurants and made her fall in love with San Francisco but it really did not do it for me. The meat wasn’t soft and barely had flavor. My friend said the meat is normally like this. The noodles were great though. I have heard other locations (like the Japantown one) aren’t as great but this did not match my expectations. Marafuku does a better job
