We love Menya !! Menya is No1 Shoyu ramen in Hawaii. But , Sunday is different. Definitely different something. We are very sorry Sunday is one star. The ramen on weekend nights is amazingly perfect. Sunday lunch time is the complete opposite of the melt-in-your-mouth meat. So Sunday,lunchtime; it's so hard you can't chew it. The egg isn't soft-boiled, it's raw inside. The soup stock is also completely different. If I had come to Menya on Sundays, I wouldn't have come back. But now that I know the exquisite taste of weekend nights, I'll keep going. Please reconsider your Sunday ramen.

This restaurant was amazing! So much flavor and the pork was just so incredible!
We parked on the side street and we didn’t have a problem accessing the restaurant.
The server was very attentive and very friendly.
Definitely coming back!

Menya is great! The Goma ramen is rich and flavorful, the pork cuts however have like so much fat could do with less. Service was good and fast.

Tsukemen was amazingly flavorful, generous kakuni portions but the takoyaki gyoza was better than any takoyaki we've ever had and we always order takoyaki if it's on the menu.

This was our favorite dining experience on Oahu it just took us by surprise because we didn’t think the Ramen would be That good.
The menu may be a bit confusing for newbies but it’s concise enough with simple explanation of each type of Ramen. Be prepared the regular size ramen was More than enough but they offer smaller or even bigger portions for those that need it. The whole menu is very tailored to personal taste and all customizable. I saw that they had Goma broth ramen so I took this while my husband took the Tsukemen which are dipping noodles. We both loved our dishes, the broth in both ramens were 10/10 it had so much depth and flavor. I do think the noodles could improve but rarely outside of Japan do they house make their ramen noodle and broth. We also found the garlic shrimp appetizer to be a superb addition, fully of flavor and spice it was just perfection.
All in all it’s simple decor and meant to be casual and quick. Service was professional and welcoming. It was the star of Oahu for us on this trip. Must stop if you’re a ramen Head.

Everything has pork, no chicken/fish options. It’s 2025, not everybody eats pork
Great little spot. The tsukemen noodles are SO good and chewy and perfectly cooked. The menya salad was also bright and fresh. Very kid friendly

Nice little restaurant with delicious tsukemen ramen. I really enjoyed the thick, savory broth and chewy noodles. The pork was well-seasoned and flavorful. I also appreciated that they leave chili pepper on the table so you can adjust the spice to your liking. Parking was a bit difficult, but well worth the effort.

Came here based on recommendations for the tonkotsu tsukemen. Didn’t live up to expectations, unfortunately. On the bright side, the noodles had a good texture, and the ajitsuke tamago was cooked well. The kakuni had a good flavor, came in thick slices, and was generally pretty tender.
On the other hand, the broth left a lot to be desired. As other reviewers mentioned, it was very thin compared to typical tsukemen broth. It also lacked the creaminess and even some of the umami tastes that are typically associated with tonkotsu. It mostly tasted like salt. The dishes are also really expensive if you want to get the usual toppings that come with ramen and tsukemen. Service was slow and kind of unfriendly. Parking is terrible.
Overall, I don’t think I would return here. Maybe their ramen is better than their tsukemen, but I’m not sure if I want to deal with the prices and parking to find out.
