About Homi Japanese Ramen - steak house in Sunnyvale, California

No-frills option for Chinese-influenced Japanese soups, fusion plates & comfort-food snacks.

Customer Review Summary

Homi Japanese Ramen offers a cozy, authentic dining experience with a neighborhood vibe. The food is praised for its real flavor, simplicity, and large portion sizes, particularly the Miso Ramen and steamed dishes. Service is generally fast, with welcoming staff and a casual ambiance suitable for groups. However, there was a concerning report of worms found in the soup, dismissed by the staff as "normal." Beverages include hot tea, and milkshakes are recommended, especially the strawberry flavor. Some customers note that the ramen tastes more like Taiwanese/Chinese soup rather than traditional Japanese ramen. Overall, the restaurant is considered a hidden gem with decent food quality and good value, despite some mixed experiences.

People are so focused on the fancy concept and the extravagant atmosphere, making them miss authenticity, this places is like the neighborhood restaurant from your small villa, love the atmosphere, the food is full of real flavor, nothing extravagant, just simplicity and flavor, and the lady in the front desk provides us a great experience, making us feel comfortable. A must go if you are looking for good food.... and the portions are HUGE!!!

Hidden ramen gem in South Bay! Better than the ramen places on Castro street in Mountain View. My friend and I both ordered the Miso Ramen (~$18.50 each before tax) which were large portions that came with very tasty and tender large slices of pork. The broth and noodles were also flavorful without being too salty. Service was fast. Good amount of indoor seating, casual ambience.

I was halfway through my bowl of soup when I found worms in it. When I mentioned it with the waiter in this place, I was told it’s ‘normal and unavoidable.’ So, take that as you will. If you’re okay with bugs being a ‘normal’ part of your meal, this might be the place for you.

Can't believe this was hidden in a market. Love this place. Thick pork slices on the miso ramen. I'm more salty on my soup base but that's just my preference. Staff is welcoming. Try the milkshakes they're refreshing! I really liked the strawberry flavor and everyone else on my crew.

Huge portions for a great value quality is decent overall. Great for a quick bite and casual dining . Can fit groups of 4 easily and they have flexible seating to accommodate larger groups of 8 or even more if needed. Staff is quick to prepare the meals so no need for long waits. I can see that changing with busier crowds though. They serve you hot tea as the sit down beverage of choice and you'll have to ask for water if you need it. There is male and female restroom. Overall decent place to checkout.

A unsuspecting chinese/japanese restaurant next to Saigon Seafood Harbor. Most ppl usually get the chinese food here which isn’t bad. The portion sizes are quite big but mostly because it is meant for family style eating where you share dishes. Ramen is more like a Taiwanese/Chinese soup flavor so don’t expect the Ramen to be Japanese Ramen here (despite the name haha) Lots of parking in the plaza but only one entrance if you are turning in from Lawrence Service is alright, we went when only one server was available

An amazing authentic Ramen place. The Ramen itself was absolutely delicious and the stuff very friendly. They give you a warm welcome with a tea.
