Noodles in Honolulu, HI

“The best old skool saimin joint on the planet...the broth just brings back alot of memories of enjoying saimin with your parents and grandparents...its just so rich in flavor and the noodles are second to none...then its time to sink your teeth in the smoky flava of their bbq stick,omg doesn't get any better..my go to is the wonton min and bbq sticks, if you haven't already visited this place, do yourselves a favor and check them out soon.. 🤙🤙🤙“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“The food was amazing and everything we expected after we saw the video on You Tube. The prices and portions are good and filling.“

“My favorite place to get freshly made Pansit, Miki soup noddles, and Won Ton Wrappers. They also make various noodles and wraps such as Chow mein, Chow funn, Saimin, Mandoo wrap, Udon, Suimai wrap, and their new: Kaigushu noddles. Each items are fairly priced per pound. Recommend coming here for freshly made noddles/wraps.“

“お蕎麦はもちろん今回は雲丹、いくら、帆立の海鮮丼がとても美味しかったです。 ランチセットがリーズナブルです👍“

“Went to Sun Noodle today(Saturday) because my daughter wanted a ramen bar for her Birthday tomorrow. The nice lady upstairs in the office helped me pick out a specific type of noodle from their product catalog after I described what type of noodles my daughter likes and she also explained to me how the numbers of the noodles correspond to the thickness. I got 15 orders ( 3, 5 packs) of freshly made noodles, tonkotsu and tan tan broth to go with it. Ordering was super easy, you go back downstairs to the outside, walk to the right, press the buzzer on the right hand side of the adjoining warehouse, another girl came out with my order, processed my credit card payment and off I went. Fast, simple and very economical. This was my first time going there although we eat ramen everywhere Sun Noodle distributes their noodles. Love their products, will surely go there again to stock up on my daughter's favorite food, Ramen!!!“

“Absolutely phenomenal food and service. Ordered the Goodbye Dracula roll, the ahi was so fresh. The chicken stir fry has the best oyster sauce I’ve ever had, cooked to perfection tonight. The FOH service by Yuko, she’s a super woman!“

“Best tsukamem! Large portion of noodles with excellent dipping sauce. Neighbors eating fried chicken and fries which looked delicious. One wait staff took care of the entire place with great efficiency. Would go back again.“

“Great products...don't mind the Aunty at the front, she's your typical impatient Asian mama 😅😅 the Uncle was really friendly and helpful in explaining the different uses for the different Wrappers and noodles.

Mahalo for the great dumpling Wrappers and noodles! We will continue to patronize your small business when we're in the area!“

“THE CAKE NOODLES!!! I read about this place before our trip to Hawaii and decided to try it. The reviews said to try the cake noodles and they weren't lying. I ordered the Minute Chicken and Cake Noodles...wow! It was absolutely delicious and so fast. And the sauce, seriously...so good! Everyone was so friendly and attentive (we went a weird time and had the place to ourselves). I've been dreaming about these noodles and am seriously thinking about going back before we head home.“

“We went to this branch instead of the Waikiki one because there's a better chance here to get a seat. You do have to queue during lunchtime but the line does move fast. We came here om a rainy day and the udon soup was heavenly. You can kinda customize your plate and add some fried extras. Friendly and efficient service. It was all in all, excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Everything 🤙😵‍💫🤙,,,,Sooo Ono ! Break away from the typical grind and find something New , this is the place !“

“Our family LOVES Junpuu! Our favorite restaurant ❤️“

“The quality of your dishes is very high on customer satisfaction!“

“Excellent Ramen and friend rice“

“Awesome and tasty Vegetarian food, and I'm not vegetarian 😁“

“I was ono for some sushi and soki soup combo. So good.. just like baban used to make.?“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“Our first time here and wished it was at the beginning of our visit because we would make sure we ate there again. This will definitely be our go to place when we visit the island again.“

“This place is inside the Stix Asia food hall and the food is delicious. You went into the line similar to merugame udon and pick you side dishes and paid at the end with your udon order. We ordered the Bestseller #3 beef and hot spring egg hot udon and #7 hot beef udon. We also ordered the mixed vegetables, soft boiled egg and zucchini tempura as side dishes

The price is decent and the taste of the food is good. If you want tasty udon with shorter lines, you should try this. It's our first time here and will definitely come back if we are around next time.“

“Good food. Great people. Been here 3 days straight for lunch because of my picky son. :-) And my Mom and Aunt are vegetarian. If you are here visiting and want good Vietnamese food. Give them a try.“

“Stopped here for lunch while visiting the island. Hole in the wall family run spot with a small wait. Was definitely worth it though. Did the communal eating with a couple who ordered xtra spicy compared to my regular beef noodle soup. We were all sniffling the entire time 🥲“

“Family owned and operated, excellent food; a classic, lowkey gem. I feel privileged to have been a customer for a long time. This local favorite spot for Vietnamese food is made with high quality ingredients and sends you home not just with the lovely flavors lingering but a sense of wellbeing. Nothing really warms you like a good pho some days; they take no shortcuts with the home made broth which as you know if you ever thought “oh I’ll just make that at home,” takes *all* *day* to make pho broth. )Some places, not naming names, take some easy shortcuts on the broth. It’s tasty but when you walk out, your body feels it differently. Bac nam makes their own from scratch and it is legit. Ono and much healthier (in my opinion.) Thank you Bac Nam!“

“Hamamatsu style gyoza is awesome delicious! Ramen is great. Love those tonkatsu bites! Sapporo on tap. This is going to be our new favorite ramen joint!“

“I love the house beef noodles, house pancake beef roll and am going to try the braised beef noodles and cheesy eggplant next. Been here for lunch several times. Really good place for Chinese food that is unlike most Chinese food in Hawaii as I think it’s from Chengdu.“

“The Best! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌴 Vietnamese’s Crispy Chicken Wings With Lemon Wedges, Salt Pepper, Sautéed Onions On Top! Are My Favorite Here, Always Great Food, Mommas Broths! & Open Until Midnight!!“

“great food reasonable price will go back“

“Great Pho. Tasty and great service“

“Really great place. Wide variety of food - from saimin to ribeye steak to breakfast plates to burgers. Staff was SUPER friendly and the prices were a great deal for what you get.

Wife and I were in the area to look for Halloween costumes at Party Hawaii and she wanted to stop by to eat lunch thinking it was a Tanaka RAMEN. Glad she made that mistake, because Tanaka SAIMIN will now be one of my favorite restaurants when we are in this area.“

“Going to Jane's Fountain felt like I traveled back in time to one of those old school diner places. On that day, I had the Hamburger Steak. It is one of the best on the island. My only complaint was that there was only one hamburger patty. I would definitely pay extra for the 2nd patty.“

“Really enjoyed our meal at Wagaya! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It’s a great place to come with friends or family because there are plenty of dishes that are easy and fun to share.

One of my favorites was the potato mochi. It had a nice chewy and soft texture with a good amount of sweet soy flavor. The sauce was flavorful without being overwhelming, and the nori wrapped around each piece added a nice savory touch. It was simple but really satisfying and definitely something I would order again.

The corn was another highlight and was especially fun to eat. The kernels were fried together into crispy pieces, so you get a nice combination of crunchiness on the outside and sweetness from the corn. It’s a unique snack-style dish that works really well for sharing.

Overall, everything we tried was good, the prices were reasonable, and the meal was very enjoyable. Wagaya is a solid choice for tasty Japanese food at a good price, and I would happily come back to try more of their original dishes.“

“日本料理が恋しくなって 連チャンで伺いました。 奥さんはカレー蕎麦 御汁がたまらなく美味かった 自分は納豆ぶっかけご飯 店員さんも可愛い日本人で 愛想もとても良かったですよ“

“Some of the best noodle soups ever (BBH, bun rieu, and bun mang vit). We went in for breakfast hour and it's clearly a local spot.
All the soup broths were so flavorful both in spices and depth of meat flavors. Veggies/greens on the side were also super fresh. The duck was tender, the meat toppings in the bowls were generous.
Highly highly recommend!!“

“Wow…we loved our meals. We stopped here by quickly on our way from Waikiki to the airport, and easily found street parking. The vermicelli bowls with lemongrass chicken & tofu (and a banh mi with pork + chicken) were so fresh, so filling, and really high quality. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee. The service was kind, as well. Highly recommend for a relaxed & high quality meal!!“

“Love the variety of noodles n the texture n flavors yum!“

“I got the spicy beef soup and my boyfriend customized his own pho. Everything was so so so good, I’m still dreaming about it. Might go back soon. The vegetables are plenty and the portions are huge for a good price. A lot of pho’s are sweet, but theirs isn’t that sweet, which is what I was looking for. So yummy, definitely going to be a regular here.“

“We’ve been searching for a great Thai restaurant in Honolulu, and I’m so glad we found this spot! We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and the Panang Curry with pork. Everything tasted delicious and was cooked perfectly. They were also able to accommodate my gluten-free dietary needs, which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent Korean BBQ! It was recommended by a local- great service and delicious food, great quality, decent portions at a decent price! Need reservations by calling restaurant.“

“The food is amazing and the service is always with Aloha 🥰“

“Friendly and good service! Delicious oxtail soup!“

“great place for a weekday lunch that's affordable, filling, nutritious, and tasty! great value for the price and quality of food 😁 there's an open, air-conditioned adjacent seating area with a few other food/drink stalls as well. would recommend, and would return!“

“Super delicious rice noodles with the juiciest, most flavorful lemongrass chicken. Just such a delight to eat crispy veggies and herbs on a hot day here. The owner was so sweet too and chatted with us. This spot has been around for ~20+ years, too!“

“I had the chicken curry, and it was great! The food came out quickly and was a generous portion for the price. This place is very affordable, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Large portions, good desserts and friendly staff“

“It was so delicious and the waiter was so nice. Very cozy little spot. There was a mentally ill person that was being loud and well, saying I was nasty, but they took care of it very quickly. I wouldn't list that detour you and I 'm sure that doesn't happen often there and I would definitely go again! The #2 popular soup base I would definitely recommend!“

“Here’s a polished version of your review:

We went for dinner on a Thursday night and were seated right away. All of our food came out promptly. We ordered the Tonkotsu Original, Spicy Miso, Black Ramen, and a side of gyoza. The soups were rich and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to the perfect level of firmness. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but the service could be improved. Toward the end of our meal, we felt a little rushed to leave.“

“No frills Vietnamese food in a small but comfortable space on the edge of Chinatown.... The food was very fresh and authentic. Run by a local couple/family, the service was very hospitable... Prices very fair. The Vietnamese coffee was traditional slow drip and delicious. Ordered the banh mi sandwich and it was also a star... The bread was fresh baked, and had the perfect texture and softness on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. Definitely recommended.“

“TL;DR: This is a hidden gem in Chinatown! Authentic, old fashioned massive portion of Cheung fun for an amazing price! You won't be disappointed if you check it out!

We stumbled on this place while checking out Chinatown in Oahu.
This is not a restaurant, this is a Cheung fun factory, they make the fresh rice rolls wholesale for other restaurants!
We made soup noodles out of their plain noodles (look fun) it was incredibly fresh and delicious. The noodles held their shape, they are made in the very old fashioned Cantonese way!
We really appreciate the attention to authenticity, much better than all of the Chinatowns in other parts of the world that we have visited!
We loved our first visit so much, we returned to buy 2 char siu and 1 ha mi Cheung fun!
They are massive and for the price, it's an insane deal! They're tasty, they're fresh , they have the perfect bouncy texture! They did have small packets of soy sauce to eat with it as well!
It's just like the old fashioned, dim sum restaurant in Asia.
I don't think you can find this anywhere else!
This is a hidden gem, and we hope they will continue to be here for a long time!“

“Really good pho and overall really good in the rest of the food items too. Service was good, but just wished they would have a bit more awareness on refilling on our water. Atmosphere was somewhat comfortable, just wish the spaces were bigger, but that can't be helped due to the location, so they did a really great job on making a spacious comfortable space foe the area space of the unit“

“This place is super busy but the line moves fairly fast. I'd say worth a 15 min wait.

I'm not a big fan of Taiwanese beef noodle soup and even the best versions of it I've had in Taiwan weren't topping my scale. This version is good, the broth is hearty (just too thin for me), the beef itself is tender and full of flavor. The noodles were traditional: wavy and chewy.

Pot stickers and Shanghai dumplings were great too, I likes those better to be frank. Don't forget the sour sauce, it adds a whole dimension of taste.“
