Longtime Mainstay in Aiea, located in the Waimalu shopping center, havent been here for a while and was craving miso ramen so drove down for a late lunch.
Place was empty when i arrived, ordered the miso ramen with the 4 piece gyoza and mini fried rice set. Prices have gone up considerably since i last was here.
Ramen came first piping hot, which was a plus. Charsiu was thinner and the bean sprouts sparce as compared to before. Gyoza size looked smaller. Fried rice also.
Service was nonexistent, Ordered food, got it, no refill on water. Very unfriendly. Taste was okay, nothing stands out to make me return. $20 ramen set was okay.... Miss the old days when you get what you pay forš 3 stars.

Used to be good decades ago; visited twice the past couple of years and noticed a steady decline in the quality/quantity of Eās ramen, chahan (fried rice), and gyoza. Prices for their set menu were okay, but drive a few minutes to go IchiBen instead. Cleaner restaurant, faster service, and much better ramen. Well, Ezogiku Waimalu aināt the Japanese chainā¦.
Parking: Waimalu Shopping Ctr get plenty parking, but you may have to circle around the lot to scan an open space

Great place for comfort food of ramen and fried rice and gyoza. Owner is really friendly as well.
Parking: Can get very busy as times, but going early allowed for lots of parking.
Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, so no stairs to deal with. Handicap stalls are close to their front door.

5 stars based solely on childhood memories and the fact they survived covid thus far.... yes, ive seen some questionable creatures run around here, but i definitely try to grab some curry, ankake or jumbo gyoza around once a month or whenever im in the area and not eating waimalu chop suey or saimin or husky tacos....

I've been coming to Ezogiku since 2010 with my then boyfriend, now husband. We predominantly went to the now closed University Ave. location, since it was the most convenient, but we frequented this spot as well. Ezogiku has become our benchmark for non-fussy, old school ramen shops. They are consistent and simple in terms of their flavorful broth, noodles, and char siu. Ezogiku's mochiko chicken and gyoza are to this day my favorite mochiko chicken and gyoza anywhere, bar none. Their fried rice is excellent, and tastes even better as leftovers. My husband and I are super nostalgic for Ezogiku, and will continue to think about it fondly for the rest of our lives.

Best ramen spot on island in my opinion. The charsui ramen is my absolute favorite.
