Ramen Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“1. Super Clean 2. Very Ono 3. Excellent Customer Service Awesome 👏“

“Excellent Ramen and friend rice“

“Our family LOVES Junpuu! Our favorite restaurant ❤️“

“I received the Go Miso Ramen on Tuesday. The ramen broth was rich, but didn’t have much depth in taste. I wasn’t sure what the black stuff on top was, but it appeared to be bamboo. The star of this dish was the taste of the ground pork. It tasted similar to wonton ground pork. The egg was slightly under my desired consistency. Overall, this ramen is a good, solid dish even if it’s not what I’d desire to eat on a typical basis for ramen.“

“This humble noodle shop is my most frequented restaurant on the island. The quality is consistently excellent, and the food is truly affordable. Their service is prompt and thorough. I can be in and out in 30 mins with a full belly! Though their noodles are the main attraction, don't miss out on the BBQ sticks; those are to die for.“

“Took a minute to find this place on the 2nd floor in back of the Japanese store. Wife and I both got ramens and were satisfied but not overly impressed. Broth tasted manufactured rather than store-made. I’d eat here again if I was around and hungry, but would go there again specially to eat the ramen.“

“Always come here when we visit Hawaii. It's a very busy place but the staff is friendly and they try to seat you quickly. The cooks also work hard and try to get your food out quickly. The menu variation is awesome and each dish I tried was Onolicious.“

“I came to Wagaya Ramen with big expectations after hearing good things, but overall it was just okay in terms of taste. I ordered the Hakaya Style Wagaya Ramen, corn tempura, and potato mochi. The corn tempura was definitely the highlight: crispy, sweet, and delicious. The ramen itself was decent but I’ve had better elsewhere.

Service was great though, the waiter was friendly, there was no wait to be seated, and the restaurant was clean. The noise level was moderate and the casual ambiance made it a comfortable place to dine. Not bad overall, but not as memorable as I hoped.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We were helped by Mia and she was super nice and continously checked in and filled our drinks for us. Amazing spot, affordable as well! Will be back.

Extremely good ramen. I thought the food was amazing and the service was exceptional.“

“My friend and I felt like princesses. The wait staff were so attentive and continued to provide suggestions to fit my requests. They were kind and made sure I always had what I needed and that I ordered everything I wanted before happy hour was over. The atmosphere was nice. It’s a beautiful modern design inside with great lighting, big windows and they had a projecting football game going. The sushi during happy hour was reasonably priced and their restrooms were clean and had a bidet. The waitress went above and beyond for us and we would definitely suggest going.“

“Outstanding ramen choices!“

“One of the best bowls of ramen and most delicious takoyaki I’ve ever had!! I tried the Vegan Tantanmen ramen with added tofu. The broth was so good-rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great portion as well. The takoyaki was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a soft, smooth inside and balanced umami taste. Can’t wait to go back!“

“11/29/2025: Popped in for drinks and a snack. Cocktails are on point and the wagyu skewers were amazing. The steak was a bit grisly but the sauce was amazing. Crew was okay, they looked pretty busy so service was a bit slow but the guys were nice.“

“This Ramen spot on Honolulu close to Waikiki is the spot to eat ramen!! It's removed from the city life but easily walkable from Waikiki if you wanted to walk. My husband and I have a spot in Dallas called Hindodeya that we like to eat ramen at and he said that Onoya's Ramen dominated Hindodeya! The broth is rich, creamy, and satisfies the salty savory flavor you look for in a ramen broth. The prices are extremely generous as we both ordered more protein as well as a ramen exchange for the combo. Payment is done through barcode that you receive on your receipt, it's a fast and easy process. Definetly a spot to try, you won't be disappointed. My husband and I ordered the tonkotsu tan tan men and the tonkotsu black rice combo.“

“Unique delicious complex flavors. Friendly staff ❤️“

“Very friendly and good food! Best dish I had during my 8 day stay.“

“Yummy . I'm typically more of a west indian , or even indian , curry girl - theirs also makes the cut ! Best curry I've had on island so far , & the auntie & uncle working up front are super sweet ♡ I always order the mini katsu curry ( spicy ) with the gyoza 🥟 They pair great together . Cant go wrong with it . Highly recommend 🤙🏽“

“Unique delicious complex flavors. Friendly staff ❤️“

“This place is awesome, seriously authentic food well prepared and served by the nicest people, I would go there again in a heartbeat“

“Inside of the Asian STIX food court I really like this ramen place. My husband and I have gone several times and each time we try something different and it is always sooo good. The staff are really friendly. The wait isn't long at all. We have gone for both lunch and dinner service. I definitely recommend this place.“

“Good and it really was a good experience“

“Lovely dining experience, wonderful service“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“A solid ramenya inside the Lanai at the mall. This spot offers a variety of ramen options. Prices are a bit on the higher side but the bowls come in larger portions. I went with the half size spicy tan tan ramen with char siu which was perfect since I wasn’t too hungry. Otherwise the regular size would have been the way to go. The char siu pork was tender with a light chew while the noodles were al dente though thinner than I would have preferred. The real star was the broth which was flavorful, balanced, not overly salty or spicy, and tied the whole dish together beautifully. Seating is limited at the counter but you can always use the Lanai food court area if you prefer.“

“The Tan Tan Ramen is excellent! Portion is big and delicious. When TonTon Ramen closed, we found Goma Tei Ramen Kahala!!! ❤️ 🍜 🥟 🍚 🍤 🍗 😋“

“Good stuff!! Try the tsukumen.“

“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.“

“The truffle ramen is so meccha oishii! I will order it again and again!“

“**edit 10/20** been here 2 more times now, its my go to lunch place when im in the area for authentic Japanese food? Tried their Tonkotsu ramen with side rice and gyoza, and also the Daily Special which was the Aimori bento (chicken karaage and ginger pork). Friendly service and food that is made to order??**

Legit little authentic Japanese diner/take out place that I stumbled upon looking for another restaurant in Honolulu. Located in the building with restaurants on King Street and Keeaumoku, where Sushi Sasabune is located. This place is at the end to the left.

There was a late lunch crowd when i walked in so took a little while to be seated. Note that this place is run by two people so if youre in a rush, this isnt the place for you as the food is prepared on order so it takes some time.

They were running a promotion the day i went, which was Niku no hi, or Meat Day where if you ordered a specific meal, you would get 150% more. Since it was my first time here, the waitress suggested the popular Karaage Fried Chicken Plate, which I gladly ordered.

Took a while for the meal to arrive since there were two parties seated in front of me, and their meals looked great too... Especially the ramen. When my meal arrived it was piping hot, the way I like it. Squeeze the lemon on and it came with a shoyu dipping sauce that I felt didnt need. The chicken was crisp, not oily and already marinated before fried just like you would eat in Japan.

There was more chicken than I could eat in one sitting so I took half of it home. Would recommend if in the area, Im sure their other dishes are excellent too?5 stars.

Parking: Free parking lot in the back of restaurant and street metered parking in front (free if on Sundays)“

“Comfort home meals at a reasonable price never seen anywhere in a long time. Looks like prices have not gone up much in a few years. Food is truly taste like a home meal. Enough variety between rice bowls, ramen, sashimi, maki, salads, and a few other item I can't remember from the menu and a few desserts. Only one server. But, very fast and friendly service. A gem 💎. Reservations are recomened as walking for tables fill out fast. Specially during UH games. Or, come in earlier for sitting. Looks like only street parking.“

“I'm a regular customer here and come often because the food is amazing and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. I went there tonight and there was group of rude people saying they re going to leave a bad review and ruin the restaurant reputation @Yang Xu, but if you're going to leave a review at least be honest about what happened. The person writing that review skipped everyone in the line waiting outside then sat themselves down at a table I'm guessing was reserved because they got asked to wait outside like everyone else. I got sat right before them and when they sat down the older man in the group threw a menu across the restaurant (in his review he said they gently moved it to another table, LIES), and demanded priority over everyone else who was also waiting patiently. The staff asked them to be mindful of the other guests and they started being disrespectful and giving attitude to the waitress who then refused service to them. That's when they left saying they're going to leave a bad review. The staff deserve credit, not unfair criticism !
You guys handled that situation amazingly!!!“

“While browsing through Island Grocery Depot's Kahului store, I came across a pack of Sun Noodle's Tonkotsu Ramen. Already loving their Shoyu version, I was hesitant about trying it because I'm not a huge tonkotsu fan, mainly due to it's color and creamy flavor. Luckily, this bet paid off!

TONKOTSU RAMEN:
The 2-serving pack comes with separated fresh noodles and 2 packets of base. When I make ramen using fresh noodles, I always use 2 pots, one to boil the noodles and the other to boil the dashi, then throw the noodles in to have a searing hot bowl of ramen, the only way to eat it. The directions state to dilute the base in 10-12 ounces of water, 12 was perfect. The flavor was really good - creamy, porky, and is a little thicker than traditional broth. I wish I could've decorated it with toppings but this was just a quick lunch in between my day-off list of chores.

OKINAWA SOBA:
These fully-cooked, thick, white noodles also comes in a 2-pack tray. Even though the noodles are pre-cooked, most folks will want to boil them a little longer as they are super al dente. The dashi flavor is a mix of bonito-beef-shoyu. It's a different, unique flavor that I could probably get used to.

YAKISOBA (PLAIN):
The 6 ounce package of full-cooked yellow noodles doesn't come with any dashi, so it's up to you to find your own seasoning. Luckily for me, my mom has tons of dashi packs from the Saimin noodle bags, so that goes perfect with these noodles as a stir fry. Toss in some sliced Spam, bean sprouts, shoyu, and oyster sauce for added flavor. You'll definitely need at least 2 packs to feed one person.

YAKISOBA WITH SAUCE:
This 11.5 oz. package is the better of the two, mainly because it comes with powdered seasoning. I pan fried some Spam, fried the noodles for a bit, added 1/4 cup water, then added both packets of seasoning, which wasn't overly salty at all. Delish!

SAIMIN:
They offer 2 styles, one with a thicker noodle in the white bag, the other thinner in the clear & orange bag. Both are 2 servings in 1, and come with dashi packs. I love these both ways, either as traditional saimin or stir fried.

SHOYU RAMEN:
Our local Costco sells these as a 4-pack, so I get 8 servings of piping hot, salty shoyu ramen on demand! They freeze well and I don't even have to thaw the noodles to cook. The packets of shoyu-oil thaw out in no time, and the end result is ramen shop quality & taste. Just add your own toppings.

MISO RAMEN:
Having had horrible-tasting miso ramen in many-a-restaurant, I was hesitant to try this. I'm happy to report that their version rocks! The broth was full of flavor and depth, and when combined with their eggy-flavored noodles, sent this baby into orbit! Highly recommended even for the miso hater!

FACT:
Ramen Lab in NYC was ran by Sun Noodle, and featured guest chefs that cooked in front of you while seated at a traditional ramen bar. Wish I got to try them!

OVERALL:
Another winning product from this now nationwide company that started out in the 808. Can't get good ramen at a restaurant, like on Maui? Head to your grocer's refrigerator and grab a package of this diamond in the rough good stuff and settle that craving!“

“Food here is always good! Broth is super rich and noodles are very well done. Every time I come to Waikiki, I always eat at Bario Ramen as often as I can. Definitely worth a try and always get an egg with it! You can also try the downtown location, but keep in mind it only dine in.“

“Good if you want ramen and something quick. I came here on my break and ordered a sukiyaki ramen with a side order of kakiage tempura. Food came out in about 3-4 min. Ramen is standard, nothing too special about it. I was disappointed in the kakiage tempura because it was soggy right after I received it.“

“A hidden gem. The prices are reasonable. The spicy chicken wings are amazing and crispy. I love the fried rice and the curry combos.“

“I ate dinner at Baikokhen Ramen Waikiki and loved it! The chef made an excellent bowl of ramen and the staff was amazing! I’ll be back for sure… Peace & ❤️“

“Located at the end of the stix Asian market, this restaurant offers Taiwanese style beef noodle soups. I tried the combo noodles of beef, tendon, and tripe. The broth was beefy and not too fatty, although it came with some orange lard product on the side that dissolved into little oil droplets on the surface when added. The beef was not chewy, but not super tender either. It had a good flavor. The tendon and tripe both had good texture, a bit chewy in a satisfying way and with unique flavor. I was glad I got to try them. There are 3-5 pieces of each type of meat and I wish there was a little bit more since the flavors and textures were great in the soup. The noodles were also a perfect hand-cut texture and right between bouncy and soft.“

“Open air food court. I went early and it was not noisy yet. Ordered the the Special Miso Ramen. Wow. What got me was the amount of Charsiu included. Had 6 good size pieces, soft and tasted great. Was not chewy at but all. Miso broth was a little thin, but when I mixed in the butter wow the broth came alive and thickened up to my liking . Nice picrc of Bamboo Shoots and not the thin slices you get elsewhere. Corn, geen onions and bean sprouts piled in rounded out everything. I enjoyed the bowl of Ramen immensely also because I'm a big fan of Charsiu which made they had more then many other Ramen shops I've been to. I'm going back soon

Parking: I was in the Handicapped space and there was no charge on the ground level“

“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!“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“

“It is hard to get a good meal in the mall's food court, but I must say that the Champon here is very good and a healthier option that fills you up and is tasty as well. I got the Fujiyama Champon which is their largest portioned Champon. It is loaded and you need to be hungry for it. I must admit that I had big eyes when I ordered it and couldn't finish it. What I like most about order Champon is that it is made fresh, packed with lots of veggies, not oily or heavy, and tastes great. Much rather have this then Ramen which is just noodles, an oily and salty broth, and a some meat. Being that this is in the mall food court, it isn't exactly going to be the type of place that has a bend of backwards type of service, but they are friendly for the most part and get your order right.“

“Order from here all the time. The goyza soup is Amazing. And the crispy noodle dishes is soooo good. Got the shrimp crispy noodles and it's a 10 out of 10. But the best thing there is the lemon tea. It's unique flavor is delicious and I would drink that all day every day. Thankyou for making such wonderful flavors that make my day.“

“Ok
Party of 4 here on Thursday on the week of the Honolulu marathon. We waited 40 minutes as we saw other people that came after us being seated before us. The bill did come up to the triple digits with the 4 of us.

However, the food is Sensational for being Waikiki. The spicy vegetarian ramen was pretty incredible and the gyoza and fried rice which are both optional to add were def a great addition into it.if you like spicy, the spicy ramen is medium spice with a nice kick to it. Overall really great food with nice staff, just limited space and poor logistics“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“
