Ramen Restaurants near Kailua, HI

“Best ramen on this island! The house ramen is the very delicious with a great balance of flavors 😋. I fully recommend this place to everyone looking for ramen. Staff was also very friendly and professional. I can't wait to get another one soon.“

“.. The black garlic tonkatsu ramen with extra meat, and extra egg is excellent. The chicken katsu is also really good.

For the volume of food, and the excellent price pint, Daichii Ramen should be the go to for everyone in the local area.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

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

“Excellent Ramen and friend rice“

“Our family LOVES Junpuu! Our favorite restaurant ❤️“

“Had a chance to step back in time and visit Palace Saimin. It's a cute little old school restaurant serving up hearty bowls of Saimin. I opted for Wonmin which had about 6 very delicious wontons plus good quality noodles laced with little bits of chopped barbecue pork and chopped scallions in semi clear dashi broth. The beef sticks are amazing! I went with two, I probably could have ate six! Service was friendly and polite and the prices are extremely reasonable.“

“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 stumbled upon this place by chance. Magnolia’s Ice Cream Shop was temporarily closed (short staff) due to the employee being on break, so we decided to go to Mitsuwa Market right across from Magnolia’s. We were pleasantly surprised with all the Japanese foods, household items, cosmetics, etc. at Mitsuwa. They even had prepared meals which you can warm up at the microwave closer to where Taiga Ramen is.

On to Taiga Ramen… LOVE the ramen!! I ordered the shoyu and my husband ordered the spicy miso ramen. Both had flavorful broth, plenty of meat, and perfectly cooked noodles. We also had karaage that was outstanding! The service was also outstanding! We’ll definitely add this to our rotation when in Oahu!!“

“The food is delicious 😋 and the service great. It was a Saturday night so b it was packed with a graduation celebration 🎓 about to arrive. However, when you put your name on the wait list your whole party must be there or they'll skip you. Parking is minimal but definitely worthwhile.“

“My toxic trait is thinking I can handle a Level 5 spice bowl here without breaking a sweat. Spoiler alert: the ramen won, but it was worth every tear. 🍜🔥

If you’re visiting or just moved to Oahu, this is the 'if you know, you know' spot in Honolulu. It’s cozy, authentic, and the smell of that Tonkotsu broth hits you the second you walk through the door.

What makes this place a neighborhood staple is the 'choose your own adventure' menu. You can customize everything:
• Noodle Thickness: Thin or thick? I’m team thick for that perfect chew.
• Firmness: From soft to firm, they get the texture right every single time.
• The Garlic Factor: You can literally choose your garlic level. Just a heads up—go big or go home.

It’s a smaller space and always buzzing, so get here early or be ready to make some new friends while you wait for a table. Easily some of the best comfort food on the island! 🤙✨“

“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.“

“The great thing about this place is you can add your name to the waitlist on Yelp. I didn’t really need to do it this time, as when I came, we got a table right away, didn’t even need to check in.

The restaurant isn’t very loud for how many people are there, which is great.

Service is also quick, I ordered the Shoyu ramen and Katsu curry combo, and my partner ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. It took less than 5 minutes for both our food to come out. My partner said that her ramen was good and that it’ll be a place we’ll come back, which is a great sign from her. Next time I will try something else though. I liked the katsu curry, but the shoyu ramen was just “OK” to me, I’m more used to the broth being a little more umami. But overall it’s a good place, will come back again .“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

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

“The ramen soup is very good. We order two regular size shoyo and miso ramen. The flavor and the belly roasted pork are very good, but it was a little saltier than my taste can handle. The noodles was also done perfectly so no complaints in there.“

“Unique delicious complex flavors. Friendly staff ❤️“

“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“

“I've been here for 10 years, I always come for a bowl of ramen, they have the very good seafood ramen, and my family like their chicken, spring rolls! I never try the curry because for me, the ramen is enough! It's the small tables along the wall and the kitchen are so hot, no air, no wonder I sweat like hell whenever they seat me there, but if it is not 2 or more people, of course I understand, I cant ask you for a bigger dinner table, right? It's just, please think about the hot air inside, maybe consider a fan? Thank you!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is a win for industry night. 🔥
Appreciated the different take on the ramen dishes. Diverse menu and no one was disappointed. Its definitely a must try restaurant. Staff were friendly and service was prompt. Will be back for sure.“

“Good and it really was a good experience“

“Lucky Belly has an amazing ambiance with warm wood, brick, bar seating, and a stylish, comfortable dining room. The service was phenomenal, and the Beast Bowl was rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. It comes with brisket, short ribs, oxtail won tons, bean sprouts, wakame, sesame seeds, green onion, ginger, and a soft egg. The broth was savory and comforting, the meat was tender, and the whole bowl was very satisfying.“

“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.“

“Lovely dining experience, wonderful service“

“Good stuff!! Try the tsukumen.“

“What a lovely, small, and quaint spot! Every time I crave Japanese food, this place transports me right back to Japan. The food is consistently excellent; it truly never disappoints. My favorite items for a to-go plate are the incredible chicken karaage and the flavorful ginger pork. While I haven't had a chance to dine in yet, I feel confident giving it a strong rating. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly during every takeout experience.“

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

“great food reasonable price will go back“

“We visited this Taiwanese beef noodle restaurant on Waikiki Street in Oahu about six months ago and came twice because we really enjoyed it. This time, when we came back to Hawaii, we made sure to visit again.

The noodles are delicious, comforting, and very satisfying. The broth has great flavor, and the whole meal feels warm and relaxing. The young man who served us was also very friendly and provided great service.

We are happy to come back again and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good bowl of Taiwanese beef noodles in Waikiki.“

“The best ramen in Oahu! The spicy Dan Dan ramen can’t be missed..“

“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!“

“My son and I visited Ayame Curry And Ramen House for the first time this past Friday. We have to be cautious with any new restaurant because of allergies. I called beforehand, and the person on the phone was pleasant and assured me that the sauce would not affect our particular allergies.
We both had Combo Set C. This consisted of shoyu ramen, pork fried rice, and pork gyoza.
The ambiance was casual and relaxed. We walked in just after they opened, so there was no crowd. The greeter welcomed us warmly, presented us with a menu, and said that someone would be there to help us shortly. I asked about the ramen base and cooking oil, because of my shell fish and my son's peanut allergies. She assured us that they use a shoyu base, and would explain to the cooks about our allergy concerns. She was friendly, and helpful. We both appreciated that.
My son and I were already enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, and the quick, reassuring, pleasant service. When the food came we were delightfully surprised.
The scrumptious smell of the ramen filled the air as it was brought to our table. It was delectable to the eyes, as well as the olfactory senses. The gyoza, and fried rice came shortly afterward. All of our dishes were prepared promptly, and proficiently. The ramen was warm and savory. I normally don't like to finish the soup, because it has a tendency to be too salty. Not so with this sauce. It was perfect. My son commented that I inhaled, rather than discarded it, like I usually do. The fried rice was wonderful, an amalgamation of flavors brought together in an impeccable way. The gyoza effortlessly complimented this combo.
With great quality food, service, and ambiance, we will definitely be back here again, just as most of Kaneohe.“

“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!!!“

“Picked up party trays for a small New Year's celebration. The food was delicious and all our favorites: chicken katsu, gyoza, pork fried noodles, shabu beef curry. The curry can be messy in a tray but they double-wrapped it in foil to keep it from spilling. It is the best curry anywhere. Everyone at Sumo Ramen Kaneohe is always willing to do whatever it takes to make us happy. The prices are good too. They made our New Year special.“

“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!“

“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 & ❤️“

“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.“

“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“

“In the center of Windward Mall Food Court stands Noods Ramen Bar. I've heard great things about this restaurant, so today we'll embark on another appetizing adventure.
The workers are cheerful, friendly, and knowledgeable about their products. They answer your questions in a warm, positive way.
We had dishes that had shoyu broth in one and pork based broth for the other.
As with any dining experience, you begin your adventure with your olfactory senses, then your vision, and finally your taste buds. With the cacophony of sights and sounds permeating through Windward Mall, it may take a different level of concentration to focus on one specific thing. Right away you catch the favorable fragrance, floating to you. My eyes were excited to see the picture of the simplistic, yet satisfying dish before me.
I had the Shoyu Ramen, and my son had the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. The noodles were pleasantly robust. An excellently executed emulsion of flavors. Succulent, savory, satisfying. The broth was perfectly balanced. Not overtly salty, tempered to blend and compliment the other ingredients but not overshadow them as some broth has a tendency to do. The pork was cooked to perfection. It was soft and juicy, which added a subtle layer of unexpected flavor. The aji tamago, and menma completed the package exquisitely.
The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen had a pork bone broth, so it was very savory. My son said it was very good. The pork was simultaneously soft tender and juicy. It was easy to chew, not rubbery and overdone as is the tendency of other establishments. Broth was very tasty. Immediately spicy, with no wait for the after kick. It was neither too oily nor greasy, rather it served to enhance the already palatable flavor that hit just right. Noodles were good, absorbing, and distributing each emusified taste into a delectable, delightful dish.
They have an amazing amount of options on their vegan menu as well. Overall, it was a very positive, pleasant, culinary encounter. I highly recommend this as an enjoyable eating experience!“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“

“We went there for my niece birthday while vacationing in Honolulu, Hawaii. As everyone craves for a ramen dish (12 of us), we searched on Google and found the closest one to our hotel. We waited for at least 10 minutes to be seated as the place was full when we arrived. Almost everyone ordered their specialty food and all of us were happy and satisfied after our lunch.“

“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.“

“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.“
