I love Chef's Ramen. There a many different types to choose from. My favorites are the Miso and traditional Tan Tan men. The gyoza is also really good here! Even with takeout they separate the noodles and soup so the noodles stay al dente. Yummy!

One of the best ramen on the island. Unassuming hole in the wall ramen, but full of flavor. Highly recommend if you like ramen. If you get a combo, it’s more than enough for leftovers or to share with someone else.

We ordered the beef ramen and the shabu shabu spicy ramen. Balanced flavor, Great portions. We also had the gyoza and fried rice, both were delicious. Definitely will come back again, the broth on the beef ramen was memorable.

we were so hungry after arriving to the island, we stopped here first. we both got a ramen combo, the tonkatsu and the tan tan ramen with fried rice and gyoza. the broths were rich and sultry, the gyoza was seared nicely, and the fried rice was so hot and flavorful. everything was super fresh and tasted great. thanks for the nourishing food, we loved it!

This place makes hands down the best Japanese curry on island. I've tried a couple, authentic ones, cheap ones, fancy ones, the flavor here is the best! Yeah you wouldn't think a ramen spot got great curry right!? Especially the staff don't look like Japanese? But hey, if it's good food, great service and friendly prices, I'm there. We would drive to Kalihi just for this.

Why their curry? Flavorful, great consistency, carrots and onions inside, got a bit of kick to it, perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. Also their oysters are well fried with a good crunch. Just so glad they got the oyster option! (5 pieces for their oyster curry). Then they got their good tonkotsu going for their ramen. I usually prefer the black garlic oil, but their plain tonkotsu is bomb. Rich and flavorful with noodles with good texture.

Great prices because a combo with chicken katsu curry comes with a bowl of ramen and 4 pieces of gyoza for $18.50. On top of that they gave us complimentary delicious fried sesame mochi balls.

The place has enough tables to not have people waiting outside, although I do think they deserve to have a waitlist. It's clean, simple and comfortable to dine in.

This place deserves 7 stars I think. I hope they do well for a long time because I wanna keep coming back. It's so rare nowadays to have restaurants like this! Mahalo for being a gem to the community! I love Chef's Ramen. See you next week lol.

First off let me say the customer service is the top experience I have had in a very long time! Young lady was by herself and was very attentive and very sweet! Amazing food! Char siu is so soft and not overly fatty. Prices are amazing as well. Definitely going back when on this side of the island!
