HINODEYA Ramen & Bar Downtown

The 14 Best Restaurants In Japantown - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"For a bowl of noodles that won’t put you to sleep right after, head to Hinodeya. The casual ramen spot specializes in dashi-based soups that are light yet packed with flavor. Our go-to is the garlicky version loaded with clams, but you can’t go wrong with the spicy chili oil one with chashu, or the vegan ramen topped with inari, kale, and acorn squash. Whatever the order, your bowl will be sparkling clean in 10 minutes flat. This walk-in-only spot usually has a line, so take a few laps around Peace Plaza while you wait." - julia chen 1, lani conway
