The food was FANTASTIC; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Service was very fast & professional, atmosphere was chill. Went with my roommate friend & ordered the butter corn spicy miso ramen, level 1 spicy. Somebody calling astronomer, because that Ramen was out of this world. I want to return for round 2.

This is a very good restaurant with exceptional food. Once you are seated and ordered the service is very prompt as well.
The problem is the experience from the time you enter the restaurant to the time you are seated. It is possibly one of the most discourteous welcome I seen in a South Bay restaurant. The person who is responsible for seating almost always is a rude person. This has happened three times now so no it is not a one-off.
The first time our group was asked to stand and not offered a table even though we had reserved and majority (80%) of us showed up right on time.
The second time, we went in and were curtly asked to stand outside in the cold while a table was being prepared. They took nearly 10 minutes to get the table ready. Again we had reserved the table.
The third time we were trying to find parking, and the lady inside had chosen a nice table for us. While my wife told her that she would need to step outside to tell me to go park on the street, by the time she came back (like in 20 seconds) the lady gave the table away. Not only did she not acknowledge but she curtly replied that she thought my wife had left.
I am unable to understand what their problem is while seating people.

Broth was bland and the noodles were off. I can’t put it into words. It wasn’t good to say the least. Everything else was fine though.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) Hinodeya in Campbell is a cozy and authentic Japanese-style spot. I really liked their fast service and the concept of ordering everything through their app — it makes the process super smooth. The sake flight was great!
However, the food wasn’t as flavorful as I expected. The Takoyaki had too much batter and not enough octopus, and the texture was a bit too soft with mild flavor. I also ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen — based on the photo, I thought the broth would be thicker and spicier, but it was quite light and not very spicy at all.
Service was friendly, prices were fair, but seating and parking are limited since the place mimics a small ramen shop like you’d find on Tokyo Ramen Street. If you’re coming with a group, I recommend carpooling and arriving early — it fills up quickly.
Overall, a nice experience, but I’d give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Great place. Great staff. Great ramen. Great matcha soft serve. Okay parking. Oh... Don't complain about the prepay. That's how they actually do it in Japan.

Hinodeya Ramen is a fantastic spot that truly delivers on flavor, proving that the best culinary experiences don't always need a flashy setting. While the ambiance is certainly very normal and straightforward, the food is anything but. The ramen here is the star of the show and is very tasty. The experience starts with a flavorful broth that is rich and satisfying—it’s the kind of broth you want to finish every last drop of. Paired with tasty noodles that have just the right chew, and a good amount of veggies to round out the bowl, the main dish is deeply comforting and well-balanced. We also highly recommend trying the fritters. They were good on their own, but here's a pro tip for maxing out the flavor: dip them into the ramen broth! This move adds an incredible textural and savory boost, making them an essential side order. Overall, Hinodeya Ramen is a must-visit for serious ramen lovers. Ignore the low-key setting and focus on the steaming, delicious bowls of perfection they serve up.

Their vegetarian ramen are scrumptious. Got their new shaved ice last time too - sooo good.

The restaurant has a small parking lot in the back and it's kinda small inside. They had a lot of cute decorations and I love the small lamp on the table. The food was good but it's definitely way too expensive for the portion. I did not like how you have to pay extra for the spice. We got spicy miso and it wasn't even spicy. I wish they actually put out the spices on the table or make it free to adjust the spice. Additionally, you have to pay first before receiving your food. If it was more cheaper, I would come back. Two bowls cost about $50 and they do have desserts.

This was the first we tried this ramen place. No reservation but join waiting list online is available. We only waited for about 10 minutes. The staff were friendly. Ramen is a bit hard (to me as different preferences for individuals) but still good. Soup is nice and not very salty. I would recommend this restaurant for someone like reman to try. I didn’t try its dessert as we were full. But, they look great and tasty on the pictures. I would like to try if I go next time.😋
Arrived at 5:45pm for an early dinner as a party of 11. Checked into yelp waitlist with no other parties ahead of us. Hostess/Waitress came to check the waitlist and loudly exclaimed “11?!?”. (Yeah, do restaurants not like to fill tables?) They pushed a 4-top and 2x 2-tops together and against the wall and ask us to sit. If you’re semi-proficient in math, 4+2+2=8 maybe 9 if you add a chair at the end. I get the attention of an employee to rectify the situation and their solution was to “Just squish together on the bench.” What’s mildly infuriating was that there were 2x empty 4-tops and an empty 2-top within 5 feet of where they wanted us to sit.
Food was mediocre, ramen noodles were a bit undercooked and too chewy.
TLDR: Feel free to come enjoy Hinodeya if you want a mediocre bowl of ramen for $25+ and don’t enjoy having personal space while eating.

I'm glad I tried this ramen place. There are 3 vegan ramen options on the menu which is more than most ramen places I've found so far. The food is delicious and spice level customizable. There are also some vegetarian starter options which were good. Good sake, including a sampler option. Service is prompt and the staff friendly, though you order from the table by scanning the QR code. Good ambience, has seating indoors and outdoors. There are about 12 parking spots but they do get filled up. Will definitely be returning to this place again.

Very average tasting food with slow service. We tried chicken karage ( 3/5) which was the only good food, spicy miso ramen ( 1/5) it tasted bitter and soft serve (2/5) they gave broken cone and ice cream was leaking all over and the vanilla and matcha flavors almost tasted same. Service is super slow even though it was Saturday afternoon with very less crowd. And we had to pay for order and give tip ahead of time ( tip is minimum 18% )
