11 Best Japanese Restaurants in Kaneohe

“Just Wow. We are a week and half into our honeymoon and this is what he best food we have had on the island, and honestly some of the best seafood I have ever had. The fish tasted like it was caught this morning. Will definitely be coming back. The prices were also very reasonable.“

“The beef curry is on point. They have a great variety of musubis to choose from and some very cool deserts as well.💯👏👏“

“Lived in Kaneohe for over a yea without trying this place. I went today and the food was good and the service was excellent. Didn’t dine in but I saw how cordial and friendly the staff were. They knew so many people by name and were very friendly to everyone.

I wish I tried sooner because the spicy salmon and udon are delicious.

Would 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.“

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...“

“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.“

“My fave Teri hamburger/namasu on da side... Can't forget the potatoe, Ohhh Yaaa“

“I will never forget the expression on our mother's face. The food served was reminiscent of her childhood in Osaka, Japan. Her dementia didn't stop fond memories that came into her mind with every bite of the food served to her. Thank you "Domo".“

“My friend and I had such a great experience at Gyu-Kaku, and a big part of that was because of our server Karl. From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinly kind. He also makes the best li-hing-mui margaritas! He checked on us consistently with out being overbearing. Karl's energy really stood out to us, and we told him that we'd only ask for him when we come back! If you're dining here, definitely ask for Karl!“

“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!“

“Great service and super friendly with great food! Made daily and great choices. Must try it and you’ll love ❤️ it!“
