**Fantastic Review for Kamitoku Ramen 🍜🌟**

I recently visited Kamitoku Ramen in Honolulu, and it was an amazing experience! 😍 The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, making me feel right at home 🏠. The food was absolutely top-notch! The **egg** was perfectly cooked with a creamy yolk, adding a rich touch to their signature dishes 🍳. The **Tan Tan Ramen** was a flavor explosion with its bold, nutty broth and perfectly chewy noodles 🌶️🍜. The **Spicy Ramen** packed just the right amount of heat, leaving me craving more 🔥. And don’t get me started on the **rice dish topped with a single slice of beef** – simple yet so delicious, with tender, juicy beef that melted in my mouth 🥚🥩. The vibe is cozy, the prices are reasonable, and the beachy Honolulu vibe adds to the relaxed dining experience 🌊. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #KamitokuRamen #HonoluluEats

Went here today for dinner, got the fried gyoza (pictured). The first batch of gyoza we ordered was very pink, and dripping pink juice. We asked the server if the gyoza was supposed to be that pink, and they were unsure, so they took it back to the kitchen for the cooks to examine. The cooks themselves were unsure if it was supposed to be that pink, so they made another order and gave it to us, still super pink, (the second batch is the one pictured). Pretty crazy the cooks don’t even know what theyre cooking is supposed to look like lol. The gyoza was $8, had to pay for it.
Besides that, I ordered a small bowl of the spicy ramen, which was $13 and some change. Didnt come with an egg, was a child sized portion. I could understand it if it was like $8, but $13 for a children’s ramen with no egg was not it for me. Would’ve rather gotten buldak for like $1 and ate at home.
If you’re from here, not worth it. Tourist prices, with less than subpar food. Was $60 total for three people, (gyoza, takoyaki, two small ramens, and sisig.)

the deep fried gyoza was pink inside and not cooked… felt sick afterwards.

Not serious about food. Owned by Japanese. But my ramen was not cooked enough. Never order Gyoza here.

A friend recommended Kamitoku Ramen, and it was my first time visiting.
The soup base is made from beef bones — something I’ve never tried before, even in Japan! And I got to try it for the first time here in Hawaii ^_^
So tasty 😋 The chashu was thick and made with beef 🥩🥩🥩
There were three of us, so we ordered a pitcher of beer 🍺😁

They also have lunch specials♪
I’ll definitely be back to try other menu items 👍

The ramen here was the best we've had on island! It's on par with ramen in Japan and is worth multiple trips. No wonder there's always a line at the door!

This is our favorite Ramen spot, my husband and I would come here 2x a month. They make THE BEST REFRESHING RAMEN EVER! WE LOVE THE YUZU RAMEN ITS THE BEST! It’s light not very thick soup, PERFECT! For cold night. We also LOVE the Sisig, Namban Gyoza, with a side of Kimchi & rice. Hands down 1 or our Favorite Ramen place. They always have long line outside which means it’s the best in town haha. And the staff are really nice, especially our waiter Jeremiah, he’s like our friend now we know him for 2-3 years now since we started going to this place. We highly suggest this place. It’s a must go for dinner!

I chose the Beefy flavor and gyoza. The slightly oily, orange/tan-colored broth is beef-based as opposed to the traditional pork or chicken ones found in every other shop. The flavor had a light beef taste with a little creaminess, a little sweetness, with a gritty and garlicky taste when I got to the bottom of the bowl. A very different taste, I must admit, but with no wow factor. The noodles were thin and cooked just past al dente. My half egg was almost well done. They're very inconsistent with the eggs as I saw bowls coming out before mine with medium ooey-gooey ones. Toppings were a huge piece of tender beef with a 50/50 meat to fat ratio, though not very flavorful, a few bean sprouts, green onions and bamboo. Temperature was almost searing.

The six pieces of gyoza were on the smallish size with a nice sear to the bottoms. The filling was a very finely-grounded pork mixture that was tasty but mainstream. A traditional dipping sauce was to the side. I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't order it again. .

SERVICE:
The female associate was friendly.

OVERALL:
3.5 stars for now as the beef broth wasn't groundbreaking.

My favorite place for ramen!
Their broths are GOLD and to die for.
My usual is the seabura ramen with extra half order of noodles.
