Hinodeya Ramen in San Jose absolutely deserves a glowing 5-star review! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Their broth is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced--truly the star of the show. The noodles are cooked to perfection with just the right chewiness, and the toppings are always fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The Hinodeya Deluxe Ramen is a must-try, with its generous portions of chashu, egg, and seaweed blending seamlessly with the umami-packed broth. Their appetizers, like the karaage and gyoza, are equally impressive and make the perfect start to the meal. On top of the outstanding food, the service is exceptional. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about delivering a great experience. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or trying it for the first time, Hinodeya Ramen in San Jose will leave you craving more. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic and delicious ramen!

This place is a cute little spot in San Pedro, the ambience is perfect for a quick lunch or even a cheaper/casual date night. Though it is situated in a cute location (perfect for photos), the food was not as great, the ramen was average in my opinion. I simply prefer a more umami and tonkotsu like broth which this place doesn't have, and I also don't appreciate the upcharge for spice level. The gyoza was $7 for roughly 5 pieces but it was great! Overall, this place is somewhat a self service, super quick in and out, you order on your phone and pay on your phone!

I've been to Hinodeya on a few occasions and it's always been quite pleasant. Around lunchtime, it isn't too crowded. I've been able to walk-in and get seated immediately. You order through the QR code at the table, and they bring the food to you when it's ready. My favorite is the butter corn ramen. Very comforting on a cold day! Would definitely come back again.

I came with a group of coworkers on Wednesday for lunch. There were 6 of us in total and we had no issues being seated when we arrived at noon. We walked from our office, but there is either metered street parking or a parking garage nearby with free 90-minute parking. Upon being seated, you scan the QR code at the table and can order/pay individually via the phone. I ordered the Aburi Cheese Spicy Miso Ramen with Level 3 spice ($21.50). I also ordered a sparkling water ($4) - Perrier. Note, you do need to pay for extra spice. I had to pay an extra $1.50 for Level 3 and I liked that level of spice. The bowl comes out piping hot, the noodles are nice and chewy, and the broth is extremely rich and flavorful. I only wish they gave a full egg rather than just half. Service is non-existent except for when they first bring your bowl of ramen. That doesn't bother me as I like to be left alone when eating. The restaurant is clean and fills up quickly during the lunch rush.

My friends and I decided to eat some ramen on a cold, gloomy day. I've been to the Campbell location before and remembered it was good. There is only street parking or a nearby garage next to San Pedro Square. I ordered the Spicy Miso Butter Corn ramen and added spice. I don't remember which level of spice, but I think 3? It costs extra if you want added spice btw. The spice level I got wasn't spicy to me. The ramen was good and flavorful though. It was a pretty good bowl of ramen. I would come back to try their other bowls of ramen.

Amazing dashi ramen! Was pleasantly surprised to find out there's a location closer to home. Parking tip: the Market & San Pedro garage has free parking for the first 90 minutes! It's a short walk to the restaurant (within the same block). The menu is QR on the table and you order on your device as well. We didn't get to interact with the staff too much. The restaurant is nice and open inside with plenty of tables. Minimally decorated but still has nice touches of Japanese decor. Would recommend :) We got 3 appetizers to share: edamame, kaarage, and fried oysters. I wish the fried oysters were more flavorful but they're definitely juicy and fresh. Kaarage were good, crispy outside moist inside. Edamame was up to standard as well. We both have had Hinodeya before so I'm glad that this visit/location met our expectations! We both got the House ramen with all the toppings. The dashi broth was wonderfully flavorful and so so great on a cold rainy day. Highly recommend the tabera - chili garlic crisp! It adds very nice texture and flavors to your bites. Not too spicy either, about mild-medium level.
