HINODEYA Ramen & Bar Chestnut

HINODEYA Ramen Bar on Chestnut Street in San Francisco's Marina District is part of the Hinodeya brand founded in 1885 in Saitama, Japan, now led by its fourth-generation owner. The restaurant specializes in dashi-based ramen — a lighter, umami-forward broth made from bonito and kombu — alongside creative variations including sukiyaki ramen, tonkatsu ramen with dashi butter, and a vegan creamy ramen with shiitake mushroom dashi. The menu is rounded out by gyoza, karaage, and takoyaki, paired with sake and Japanese beer.
