homi-ya Ramen Noodle House — Restaurant in Fresno

I didn't realize this ramen spot has been opened for roughly 6 years (according to the female server).

Restaurant ambience is good; food lighting and with music not too loud in the background. Granted we arrived around 4PM and there was no one in the restaurant but us before someone else walked in about 15min later. During our dining experience on a weekday (Thursday), it was just us and one other diner.

We ordered two bowls of ramen; the chef's special ramen and the shoyu ramen, the curry fried rice, and a side of edamame.

I'm going to have to agree with some reviews in how they stated the broth was quite lacking in flavor, but thanks to the chili oil, soy sauce, and that small chili pepper flake powder on the side you can freshen up your ramen... kind of like pho, where you can customize your broth flavor a bit along the way.

That also means the ramen broth and flavor itself is honestly fairly mediocre... a 2½ or 2¾ at best for me and the missus... however, we thought the food was still quite tasty despite that, but we wanted to leave an honest review. Perhaps the chefs were different years ago.

Unfortunately the edamame came in late or with our ramen, so we took it to go. That curry fried rice was great! A solid 4½/5. Nevertheless, the service was still great quality stuff as the lady checked on us three times and refilled our water twice.

Would definitely come back and try the other ramen, especially the ones people have been...

I had a craving for Ramen so this was the closest location to where we were so thought we try it. The food wasn’t bad but I can taste the MSG. Later it was only confirmed as my rings got tighter and my face looked puffy. This happens only after consuming MSG. I should have asked but forgot. If you’re sensitive to MSG skip this place as there’s a lot in a bowl of Wakame Ramen. My husband had the Chicken Yakisiba and he said it was acceptable but a little oily for his liking. Some may love this but it just doesn’t meet our expectations of traditional Japanese meal. The woman taking our order and waiting on us was very nice and...

I had the chicken katsu with some rice and cucumbers, the number 30 on the menu I’m pretty sure . I loved everything on my plate the chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the out side, the rice was cooked perfectly to my taste soft but not mushy, and the sauce on the side was deliciously sweet but not too sweet. Fair warning the cucumber slices on the side were slightly sweet like they put something in it but I didn’t mind it at all it was good to me. The lady serving my friend was supper sweet and accommodating when it felt like I was asking stupid questions. Will definitely be going again and...
