Very well executed ramen. Noodles were an excellent Al dente texture, dashi was hot, Ajitama was well flavored and cooked perfectly.
Love their location and the atmosphere was easy going and not pretentious .
Service was fast quick and friendly! Will be back.

My son ordered the shoyu ramen with egg, he pretty much licked the bowl clean! He doesn’t like green onion but he ate them all

Bonbori is a ramen restaurant located in the Midtown Eats food hall, known for its great value and delicious offerings. Supervised by Michelin-starred Chef Makoto Ishii, it specializes in two types of ramen: shoyu and shio. Diners appreciate the unique flavors of the light broths, which are well-seasoned without being overly salty. The noodles, sourced from Sun noodles, are cooked perfectly, providing a satisfying chewiness.
While some reviews note that the portions may feel a bit small, the quality of the ingredients makes up for it. The char siu is a standout, with thinly sliced pieces that enhance the overall experience. Many diners enjoyed the char siu rice bowl as well, which features cubed pork and flavorful toppings.
The atmosphere at Bonbori is lively, typical of a food hall, with free parking available in the building. While service can be slow at times, the staff are friendly and attentive. Many guests recommend the ramen for its simplicity and high-quality ingredients, making it a favorite for those who enjoy clear broth ramen. The restaurant also provides outdoor seating near a playground, adding to the fun experience for families. Overall, Bonbori is considered a must-try ramen spot in Honolulu, with many eager to return for another bowl.
