HiroNori Craft Ramen

Amazing Ramen! Carolina couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. I'll be sure to come back for her amazing service and quality food

Delicious ramen in the heart of Hillcrest!My party of 4 arrived on Sunday at 7. There was not a line but we got the last table.I love their flavored water with fruit and mint, very refreshing.I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, the broth was delicious and full-bodied, and the noodles were perfectly bouncy. There was a generous portion of pork, and the seaweed and green onion added a nice flavor. It was very good!We were there celebrating my birthday, and they also gave us a few mochi ice cream halves, which was so sweet of them.One thing to note is that their general policy is a 16% service charge in lieu of tipping.Will definitely come back, that tonkotsu was amazing!

Best ramen in San Diego, even better than Menya IMO. we got the tonkatsu ramen and not only did it come with half of a perfectly soft egg, the pork was melt in your mouth delicious. Sometimes pork at other places tastes weird to me or has an off after taste, but HiroNori's is amazing. I have tried their Santa Clara location and this location was on par and I appreciate the consistency. The only downside is parking, of course, given you're in Hillcrest but if you go on Sunday, street parking is free.

Celeste was super on top of updating us while we were waiting, so polite, so friendly! Carolina was our server, really knowledgeable with the menu and recommended the best. Karaage and tonkotsu were so tasty and Carolina checked in with us regularly. Team was efficient and made for a great first time!

Absolute 5/5 and I would come back again! Stopped by on a trip. Before we saw the sign, I didn't even know that they were one of the Top Places to Eat in SD-- but this is totally deserved. I got chicken Tonkotsu Ramen and was impressed by both the portion size (I had leftovers, which still tasted good the next day) and the taste. $16 for ramen is a little pricey, but I'd say it's well worth it. Keep in mind there is a service charge that is automatically put on your bill. :)

Simply delicious! The simple looking classic ramen with the white broth will fool you by its unpretentious aesthetic. It blew my mind flavorful it was. The chasu pork was so tender and Smokey tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed the broth just the way it was but they brought out freshly minced garlic and house sauce and then after adding it to my ramen, it was as if it was a completely different yummy bowl! If and when I can have it again, I will put off adding the other stuff as long as I can take it because the broth is just amazing the way it is. But you know, it's so fun adding garlic and hot house sauce cause it just is!Oh I had the combo by the way, the salmon poke bowl was a nice little appetizer. I enjoyed my meal with a plum wine and finished everything!

We were cravin' ramen and were told this is one of the best places. They were right!As everyone mentioned, you go there and scan the QR code to put your place in line. For us we went on a Friday and it went by pretty quickly. We walked around the block for 20 minutes for two people before it was our time.Started off with the pork buns. The sauce on those things were divine. Had their chicken rice bowl, their pork bowl, and their tonkotsu ramen.The noodles were all they were amped up to be for the ramen.The chicken and pork were tasty for the bowls.Portions were gratuitous. The large bowls can easily feed two.Service was fast and friendly! It's a cute small place but wouldn't go here with a big group. More than 4 means waiting longer. As a complete side note if it's just you and one more person it's fun to sit at the "bar" seating looking out the window. It's a one way mirror and man was it funny watching people look at themselves the whole time.There is a parking lot behind on sixth and Robinson that you have to pay for. Otherwise street. During busy hours be aware of that.

This is a small ramen joint in the heart of Hillcrest with a very small dining room. Be prepared for a significant wait, especially on a weekend evening. We went on a Saturday night during prime hours with a party of three and waited about an hour for a table. Fortunately there is an electronic waitlist with a grace period so we were able to comfortably enjoy a pre dinner cocktail next door while we waited. The service was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. For starters we had the crispy chicken karaage which was bite size pieces of dark meat, some with some skin and a bit of fat, which was absolutely simple and delicious. We also had the crispy rice and spicy tuna which is exactly what it sounds like and was a nice but not mind blowing bite just before the main course came... ...which was the tonkotsu ramen. This is the real deal folks! A deeply rich pork bone broth with a perfectly seasoned, gooey centered cured egg - complete with slices of pork that was a combination of melt in your mouth flavor bomb and tender muscle. I got the default thick noodle which gave the perfect amount of bite, and made for a plentiful and satisfying meal. Don't miss this place, and don't be scared by the wait. It's worth it!

This is the best ramen place in SD hands down. The food is always good.I highly recommend the Tonkotsu ramen (if you eat pork). The pork is amazing, I sometimes sub for chicken since I try not to each too much red meat (it's make with pork broth tho). You have to add the soft boiled egg too The pork buns are amazing too. Super flavorful and the buns are extremely fluffy.The spicy tuna crispy rice rivals all restaurants that make this dish. It's our go to whenever we order.As I mentioned the food is always consistent, we order from here a lot and it's always spectacular.I haven't been onsite yet but will soon and add more photos.

I normally don't review but One of the best Ramen I've tasted!! Fresh and with a lot of flavor. Just very tasty all around
