“Went there earlier today and got the wafu steak with the sashimi, tempura(5pcs), and miso soup(included). And lemme tell you they have the most ono wafu steak. You could tell that steak was marinated. It was tender and juicy. You know when your order is ready when the whole restaurant smells like steak. I would definitely recommend trying the wafu steak. It feeds a family of 3 for 30 bucks.“

“Great service. The refills came without asking. We ordered two kids meals, it came with a perfect sized ramen for the kids and a spam musubi.
We ordered combo B which was a large serving of ramen, we chose the Tonkotsu ramen ! With two other “mini” dishes. A chicken katsu on a bed of rice with delicious curry and a 4 piece freshly made gyoza (extremely filling). The finishing touch for everyone was their pineapple chicken katsu fried rice. Amazing!
The quality of the food combined with the generous hospitality made this experience memorable for us. We are eager to come back.“

“Love their Papaya salad platters, Phö broth, Sandwiches, Vermicelli, plate lunch combos, Summer rolls, desserts and smoothies. All so fresh, tasty and delicious!! The owner is amazingly friendly and can remember your name and your order from previous visits. Miss the indoor dining.“

“Came here for a quick dinner on the way up north. Had their Machiko Chicken Curry Combo. The service was super fast, food came in less than 5 minutes. Portions were huge too, had 6 pieces of chicken with a big slab of chasiu on my ramen.
Taste wise, the ramen broth was kinda a mix of pork and dashi, clean taste but there’s just a miss of umami. Gyoza was just like any normal dumpling. The curry was on the sweet side compared to other places. The chicken was the best on plate as it stayed crispy the entire meal, and juicy too. Just wished it had more flavour like ginger or garlic to compliment the curry.“

“I had the lemongrass chicken (cold noodles) which was super yummy and refreshing. The sauce was light and not very flavorful. I also had the summer rolls which were really fresh and yummy. However, the peanut sauce was bland and lacking flavor. Maybe it was watered down?“

“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.“

“Okinawan NEW YEARS and there are no Soba Noodles in North Carolina. Thank you NORMA that works at the Sun Noodle in Hawaii. Just ordered a case. Ships tomorrow be here in two days. Okinawan New Years just got saved!!! thanks to you!!! If anyone that reads this knows NORMA. GIVE HER A HUG AND TELL HERE THANK YOU FROM NORTH CAROLINA!!!“
“Great Chinese noodles and Won Ton wrappers. I especially like their Egg Chow Mein noodles. Much better than what you can find in the supermarkets. I buy 3 pounds of noodles at a time. It lasts a couple of weeks in the refrigerator and can be frozen if you need it to last longer. Prices have gone up a little but always a good buy.“

“I love Marugame Udon! The location was great, there was no line, and the food was made instantly. I got the BK sauce ontama with an extra egg and it was only $10! So filling, yummy, and decently priced. As a broke college student struggling with the prices of O’ahu, this restaurant is a blessing. Will be back 100%.“

“My husband was passing by and said we should go there because there were a lot of people, so we went without thinking much, but it was really, really delicious!
It's a taste that you'll always remember once you go there.
It was my favorite meal of all the things I ate in Hawaii. The meat is so good~ The fish balls are so delicious. My husband also said it was the best. ^^ I'm going to go again before I go back. The staff are very friendly and remember me when I go back.
I need to come to Hawaii again to eat this haha.“

“Please support your local businesses! This is a hidden gem and the food is delicious. The lady that waited on me was wonderful and informative. I had the Salmon Donburi (poke bowl) with the Miso soup (about 1/2 cup). For those of you who like the aesthetics of a meal, it was prepared in a delightful and beautiful manner. I felt bad that I had to eat the beautifully prepared dish. The soup was good and the Salmon donburi was salted to a perfection and the rest of the bowl (avocado, cabbage, greens) complemented it well.“

“This is a great traditional local store we've been going for a long time. We already have our regular orders, but most foods here are good and very affordable. Nice and attentive staff. The place does get hot inside and there is no AC.
Kid-friendliness: There is one high chair inside. No keiki menu. They usually bring smaller water cups for keiki.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I love everything and how it was in such a good price for hot pot. The service was quick and got seated in minutes. The server was sweet and checked on us to make sure how everything is. I saw how quick our food came out. The food was hot and fresh and the chicken was crispy. The soup was very flavorful. Each plating was so unique and beautiful. And how we didn’t had to wait that long for our service. I will definitely come back and highly recommend others to come.“

“A really respectable Japanese curry at a great price. The server was super attentive even during the lunch rush (I'm pretty sure my drink was never empty). This place is all about the fundamentals and is really no frills, but it does those fundamentals really well and doesn't charge you out the ass which is pretty rare in downtown.“

“Great place for Ramen as evidenced by the number of Japanese nationals slurping up shiryu here. It's all about the food here. Service is fine, tho they are always busy and seem understaffed. Same for atmosphere. This place is for serious slurpers only!!“

“Visited about 15 minutes walk from Ala Moana Center.
I ordered a small size of stir-fried water spinach with garlic, crab curry, and French bread, but I think there are about 3 servings of water spinach and crab curry. That was the amount.
It was delicious, but since I visited alone, I ended up leaving a little behind.“

“Almost like a hole-in-the-wall kinda shop, menu is very similar to Da Ichi Ramen but with more variety. Stopped by here for an after work dinner & enjoyed our meal. Parking is EXTREMELY LIMITED and we almost left because of it.
Servers are always friendly & dote on you. Food is really good, I love Ramen & this was closer than driving to Pearl City for Da Ichi. Portions are great! Got the Special Combo with Ramen, adding shrimp katsu and beef fried rice for my side. Was able to sub out the pork fried rice 😏. Oh and they also got chicken wings that are worth it, so yay!
Overall, pretty good place. My katsu shrimp was a bit overcooked and crunchy but the gyoza and chicken katsu confirmed that they're worth it.
Parking: Parking is tight and limited in front of the building. Then again it's Hawaii, parking lots are not the best.“

“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!“

“A Bowl of Comfort: Rai Rai Ramen
Rai Rai Ramen in Kailua is a must-try for ramen enthusiasts. The rich, flavorful broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender, juicy chashu pork elevate the classic ramen experience.
What I Loved:
* Gluten-Free Ramen!!
* Rich, Flavorful Broths: The tonkotsu broth is a creamy, pork-based delight that coats your noodles and warms your soul. The shoyu broth, a lighter soy sauce-based option, offers a clean, refreshing taste.
* Perfectly Cooked Noodles: The noodles are cooked to al dente perfection, providing a satisfying chew with every bite.
* Tender Chashu Pork: The chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender and incredibly flavorful.
* Plentiful Toppings: Each bowl is generously topped with a variety of ingredients, including soft-boiled eggs, nori, and spring onions.
A Few Tips:
* Peak Hours: Be prepared for potential wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends.
* Limited Seating: The restaurant can get crowded, so consider dining during off-peak hours or opting for takeout.
Overall, Rai Rai Ramen offers a truly satisfying ramen experience. Whether you're a seasoned ramen connoisseur or a newcomer to the dish, you're sure to enjoy the delicious food and friendly service.
Dietary restrictions: I was really excited to hear they were happy to prepare a gluten-free bowl of ramen for me using rice noodles!
Parking: Parking directly at the restaurant is very limited, but just a couple of hundred feet up the street is an O'Reilly's with plenty of parking that they are happy to share with Rai Rai Ramen visitors.“

“Photos of the food looked good but when we walked to the restaurant we didn’t go in because it had bad look, chairs pilled up outside and empty carton boxes also pilled up at the entrance, we went to Whole Foods and we got even more hungry but we all wanted ramen so we decided to give it a chance since there was a couple eating so we ended up liking the ramen a lot, big portions for a reasonable price, quick service and delicious. I guess they just need to make the place more inviting :)“

“Went here for lunch, the food was super good (and that’s coming from a Vietnamese person), all the food came out really fast, there was a short wait to get in though. The only issue I have is that since it is in china town it is super hard to find parking. Other than that it is a great Vietnamese restaurant and I highly recommend it.“

“Located upstairs of Pearl Ridge Center Mall. We decided to eat here when we saw it while shopping since we haven’t had Yunnan Rice Noodles for many years. This is a more modern version of Yunnan’s stable with a very nice presentation and an easy way to order your options. We both got the bone base soup with fatty beef. The flavoring wasn’t overpowering and it was quite tasty. With 8 or 9 small dishes of ingredients all mixed together with the soup and the rice noodles, it was delightful. We also ordered the deep fried dumplings, which were okay, but not that good and tasted like grilled instead of deep fried. So I would not recommend getting the dumplings. The service was excellent and friendly. If you never have had yin a rice noodles, then you should stop by this place to check it out.
Vegetarian options: There were a couple of vegetarian options here.
Parking: Different levels of parking lot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but the elevator didn’t seemed to be working today at the mall.“

“Every time I want to try Pho at another place, I'm disappointed and come back to Saigon Noodle in Enchanted Lake. Their Pho is the best, has tasty broth, generous portion, fresh vegetables and the service is superb! The owner has the memory of an elephant. He remembers names, what you ate etc. Amazing! The other dishes are tasty and generous too. Prices are similar to other places, but when you add up quality, speed with which you get your food and service, this one tops it all. Love this place!
Vegetarian options: Most protein dishes can be made with tofu, which is my protein.
Parking: Parking is shared with Safeway and other eateries. It's a large parking area.“

“Nice small place owned by a couple. The owners are really sweet.I had the lemon grass chicken vermicelli. Based upon other reviews, I had high expectations, but I have certainly had better vermicelli bowls at a few other places in the USA. I intend to go back and try the bahn mi due to praise for it in other reviews, and will update my own accordingly.The owners are really nice, but after asking for more water, they seems to forget as I never received any more. Therefore, I can't give this place 5 stars.“

“Siam Garden Cafe holds a special place in my heart as my favorite spot from when I was stationed in Hawaii over 10 years ago, and it’s just as incredible as I remember.
I order the Jungle Curry, prepared medium with chicken, and Sticky Rice. It is vibrant and packed with flavor—the perfect blend of coconut milk, carrots, cabbage, lime leaf, and basil made for an incredibly smooth and comforting dish. I wish I knew the recipe because I haven’t been able to find Jungle Curry, or any Curry for that matter, that comes anywhere close.
Consistently delivers authentic, flavorful dishes that transport me back in time. If you’re in Hawaii and craving Thai cuisine, this spot is an absolute must-visit!“

“Lee Ho Fook is a fantastic spot for authentic flavors! The fish cake soup was absolutely delicious—rich and flavorful, making for a comforting start to the meal. The mini chicken cake noodle with gravy was also amazing, with perfectly cooked noodles and a savory gravy that ties everything together. Highly recommend for anyone craving satisfying and well-prepared dishes!“
