Don’t sleep on this hidden gem. Gyoza was undeniable. Yamada wings? Hope you weren’t wearing socks. They’re about to be blown off.

We went there a little before dinner rush. Got seated quite fast despite not reserved. Staff wasn't really pay much attention to us. That's ok. we are for food anyway. Food arrive quickly and sadly all were salty. The curry ramen (limited time) were salty. Regular ramen also salty. Last but not least, the chicken wings also very salty and honestly overpriced. 5pcs for 13.75+tax. Gyoza was ok not meet the hype at all. Tonkatsu bite was good but it was pork belly.

Parking: has limited amount of parking in front of the shop. the stalls are somewhat narrow.

Incredible bowl of ramen! ?

Rich broth, tender meat, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg—pure umami heaven and spice . The crispy gyoza is the perfect sidekick. ? Simple, soulful, and satisfying.

By far the best hand rolls I've ever had. The Ramen was amazing, too. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting the island.

Tanto Gyoza and Ramer Bar is a solid and convenient choice for a ramen izakaya.
The restaurant sits on the parking lot behind Nijiya, with a decent amount of seating. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere similar to that of a ramen shop in Japan. The menu has a fair amount of items, ranging from rice bowls, hand rolls and of course, ramen.
I ordered the Black Tonkatsu Ramen which was around $18 with a side of One Bite Tonkatsu pieces ($9). Both the ramen and tonkatsu felt authentic and I was fairly impressed with the quality of food. Although it wasn't the best ramen I have had, I would definitely consider going again if I find myself in the area.

Parking: Parking is convenient as it sits in a parking lot. If you cannot find parking here, there is a parking structure behind the Raising Cane's across the street for retail customers.

This is my favorite ramen place in the world. They have world famous gyoza that you can get in a reasonably priced combo with a ramen dish. My favorite ramen is the Tokyo Umami Ramen, which has brilliantly made noodles and delicious charsiu. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, whether the have had 100’s of ramen bowls or this will be their first one

Parking: Parking available immediately outside in the front of the restaurant, in the garage (20m), or the street (50m).

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of good options for younger children.

Wheelchair accessibility: Step free entrance and accessibility parking

Is there such a big difference between takeaway and dine-in standards? The noodles I ordered came with no pork belly, and even most meat were made of fatty pork. Also no egg!I feel very disappointed.

I like their Gyoza. This is a very small piece. Ramen is also good.

Service really needs improvement. Joined waitlist for a table, says 5 min wait. Turned into 20 min. Then no one acknowledged for a good 10 min. The servers just looked bored but didn't bother looking for stuff to do. Ordered a bunch of stuff but ended up telling us a lot of things on menu are sold out. Like why didn't you mark it on the menu? Or announce it ahead of time. Rather waiting till we done ordering then "o btw we re out of that". So stupid. Brought us two sets of gyoza without any sauce whatsoever. Had to holler somebody down two times to get sauce. Hello!! You work at a restaurant called gyoza and ramen bar. And you don't serve gyoza with sauce??? Seriously. The food was overall decent but the service sucked so bad I would not bother to return here.

We got seated promptly and the server came over to greet us. We started ordering and I got nervous because we server was not writing any of our orders down and instead decided to memorize it in his head. Sure enough, the server forgot a few things and messed up the order. We ordered two tanto spicy goma ramens, both with egg toppings, one more spicy and with half noodles, one sapporo draft, and a coke. What we got instead: no drinks at all until we reminded the server that we didn't receive our drinks, only one of the ramens had the egg topping, the food runner came over and asked who was having the ramen with the half noodle and that turned out to be the ramen with the full ramen so the wrong person got the wrong food. Also, the server offered to bring the remaining half noodle on the side, but that never materialized... My point is, make sure your confidence matches your memorization skills, otherwise, please write your orders down.

Good & legit ramen, with legit noodles! My number one pet peeve about most ramen places in Hawaii is they use the chinese-egg-noodle-kind "ramen noodles" and it definitely ain't the same. They also do the broth here really good. Their egg and charsu is also super on point. COME HERE!! 10/10

We go there kind of often, because they make authentic Ramen and GyozaService used to be good but not anymoreLast time we went there, we were told the wait time is going to be 20min, so we were standing outside and waitingDuring the wait time, none of the employees had kept us posted how long more we should wait ,nobody apologized to us for the long wait, employee were just chatting and laughing.There were some seats available in the outside seating area but nobody offered us to have a seatAfter a long day at work, we ended up waiting for over 50min, we were just standing thereWe almost cancel and go homeThere used to be a young white boy who’s from California, who was very attentive and niceNow they have only Japanese employees and unfortunately none of them is good but less than mediocre

Such a tasty spot for ramen! We’ve gone a couple times now, and tried different things each time and enjoyed everything we’ve had. It is pretty small, and they reserve pretty quickly, so you might have to wait a little while if you show up without a reservation. We will definitely be coming back here.
