hidden gem with a wide variety of items including jellyfish!

It's time for some late night snack! I can't stress enough how perfect Hinotez is for some late night cravings, they have everything you need just a few hours after dinner time. The Spicy Jelly Fish is a must for me, and I highly recommend people to give it a try, it's absolutely addictive. On top of that, you just can't fail with crunchy rolls and Ramen.

honestly food is quite mediocre, I wouldn't expect something amazing but the environment is quite fun and food isn't too bad

### moonnight — 4.5/5 · Nov 11, 2024
Hinotez in San Diego offers delicious yakitori with a traditional Japanese flavor. Skewers are perfectly grilled, juicy, and seasoned just right, capturing authentic taste. The cozy ambiance and attentive service make it a top spot for yakitori lovers.

### moonnight — 5.0/5 · Feb 1, 2025
Hinotez offers a speakeasy-style hidden bar with authentic Japanese vibes, perfect for sipping craft cocktails or sake while enjoying sizzling yakitori skewers. The intimate back room features a yakitori grill and late-night happy hour (until midnight), though service consistency varies. Ideal for date nights or small groups seeking Convoy-area izakaya charm.

The food was good, but it tastes bland for me for some reason... Not like before, maybe it's an off season
