I’ve always been on the lookout for a good ramen place, but unfortunately, this isn’t one I’d come back to. The prices are on the higher side for an average bowl of ramen, and the portions are quite small. I ordered the black garlic ramen, but there was barely any garlic flavor and no garlic, just a mild hint in the broth. The tonkatsu pork was tough and chewy, which was disappointing. The cheapest quality of seaweed.The rest was just okay.
What really let me down was the salad, $9 for a small bowl of spring mix with a drizzle of Japanese dressing you could easily find at Safeway, and nothing else. Definitely not worth the price.

Unfortunately unable to review the service or atmosphere. The food, especially for the price was subpar. $35 for Chicken Karaage (acceptable) & Spicy Tonkatsu (little to no flavor outside of spice, noodles are thin and bland, meat was dry and also bland) I hate to give it a poor review but mainly due to the gap between price and taste/quality. I hope I just came on a bad day but I’m not here often to try again, and do not plan to.

Very Americanized, almost fast foodish version of Ramen. SO many other great ramen places, this just can’t compete. Three different versions, all equallt bad. Noodles tastes and ate like partially cooked Ranch99 specials section noodles. Broth? eh. Piece of “chaishu” pork was a bacon thin piece of way over cooked pork. More like a crispy piece of bacon. Seemed like probably grilled to reheat. I don’t expect great ramen like I got in Tokyo, but this is a skip. sorry we went there.

Horrible ramen. Chicken broth may as well be dishwater, and the bamboo shoots had a very odd flavor. All bad, nothing good. I absolutely will not be back, and by the way, there is nothing Japanese about this restaurant at all. It’s dreadful.

A small but very cozy ramen shop! The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and the owner is always kind and polite. The noodles are delicious, and everything tastes fresh. Highly recommend!

After a long trip from Manila to San Francisco, we stopped by Haya Ramen to satisfy my 6-year-old niece’s craving for ramen.
The food? Well, it wasn’t bad—but coming from the amazing Japanese restaurants back home in the Philippines and the authentic spots in Japan, this just didn’t cut it for me.
Tempura – Crispy, yes, but it lacked that light, airy crunch I’ve come to expect. The dipping sauce didn’t do much to enhance the experience either.
Gyoza – Golden and perfectly fried, but the flavor fell flat. They were fine, but not memorable.
Takoyaki – Generously topped with bonito flakes, but the filling was a bit too doughy for my taste.
The ramen itself looked good, but the taste left much to be desired. It wasn’t terrible, but it didn’t hit the high notes I was hoping for. I think after being spoiled by the quality of Japanese food back home, this just didn’t quite match up to those standards.
Overall, it was an okay meal, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a ramen place that delivers the punch we were hoping for after a long flight.

Convenient and tasty Ramen spot. Parking spots available in front of stores. Server was very sweet. The appetizer Chicken Karaage was crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. We enjoyed the Takoyaki squid balls that are a tasty Japanese fritter. Our original intention was to quell our Tonkatsu cravings; the Black Garlic Ramen soothed my soul and mellowed out the stress lines in my face. Thank you Haya Ramen!

I really loved my tonkatsu reman bowl that I had here. The pork was sliced very thin and was quite tasty. The corn, red cabbage, and soft egg really added a nice bit of contrast. The service was efficient and attentive. The atmosphere was a bit cramped but didn’t detract from the experience!

Nice ramen! I like that they open in the middle of the day and have 4 tables of outdoor seating. The bowl could have had some more seaweed and the egg could have been more uncooked in the center but overall I had a great meal. Brought my dog here and was able to sit outside and relax with the dog while eating and people watching. The server was also super great!

Amazing atmosphere, and the Ramen is great. The only problem is the seaweed chip. It was like fish/matcha flavored tissue paper. The Ramen was a good, cozy bowl.
