Ramen Restaurants near Kaneohe, HI

“Anytime my mom asked, “Do you wanna go get Ayame ramen?” my answer was always, “Yes! YAY, Ayame!” As a kid, this was the first place I ever had ramen that wasn’t from a cup or a packet, and it made a huge impact on my tastebuds and what I’d be open to trying for the rest of my life.

Their curry and ramen are both incredible. I still remember staring at the fish cake, wondering what it was, but loving the flavor and texture, and thinking the bright pink swirl looked so cool. I even started putting chili oil in my ramen at a young age because of this place, I loved the heat and the flavor.

This place left such a lasting impression on me, and I would love to revisit and experience that nostalgia again, especially with my mom. That’s the heart of what makes a great restaurant, when someone loves their food enough to share it, and it becomes part of your memories together.

Wishing your restaurant many blessings and continued good fortune. I hope the families who come in today get to enjoy the ramen as much as I did, because 20 years later, I still remember that first bowl.“

“this is a great spot inside the mall, if your companions are not vegan they have other choices bear by. the vegan tan tan ramen was delicious, pleasantly surprised for a ramen spot found inside a mall. this one hits the spot! the peanut butter tare is not spicy at all so if you like spicy ask for additional spice.“

“Sampled Gyoza, chicken katsu curry, and ramen. I loved every bite. The curry is perfectly flavored and the portions are very reasonable.

There are less dining options on this side of the island, Sumo Ramen is a must visit.

The owners are kind and courteous as well.“

“Our family LOVES Junpuu! Our favorite restaurant ❤️“

“Found this place last minute when I was around the area. I'm so glad I did! Hole in the wall, local gem, mom and pop shop. The food was so delicious! I got the Wongton min, that one comes with noodles. The wonton soup just comes with wonton only FYI. I also got a bbq beef stick.
The day I went, it was really hot, humid I was craving for something cool but stumbled on this place cuz I was craving noodles. The broth was so good and really just soothed my soul. Everything was amazing and I wish I got the larger bowl.
The follow day I took my friend and she said this was the best wonton soup she had in a very long time (since her mom passed). We both really enjoyed this place and recommend, will be going again next time we visit Oahu!

This place is small and parking is limited but ppl don't stay long. The ppl who work are really nice and this place is always busy so be patient if they don't sit you right away, even if a table is open. They got you, they know what they are going if they have been in business for 79 years! 😬“

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

“Excellent Ramen and friend rice“

“I stumbled on this place by accident (one would have to as it's in the very back of the Market), and I ordered the takoyaki, the karaage, and the Miso ramen. I was a little worried when the karaage first came out because it was very dark and I was worried it was overcooked. It was slightly crispier than I usually prefer, but very good. The takoyaki were also excellent - the subtle extra crisp made for a delightful final product. The Miso ramen, however, was delicious! No notes, except for one to myself - don't leave the ramen until last, as the meat on top did cool down quite a bit before I started on the ramen!

Be prepared to fight for seating, and woe betide anyone that wants to bring a large group here.“

“Unique delicious complex flavors. Friendly staff ❤️“

“I ordered the Garlic Tsukemen at Wagaya and it was phenomenal. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the dipping broth was rich and garlicky with deep umami flavor, and the chunks of tender pork melted in my mouth. Loved the bamboo shoots and greens that added a fresh contrast. Every bite was comforting and packed with flavor. Highly recommend for any ramen lover!“

“I love their food! I was in Kailua visiting family and I was really craving ramen. They have the best Chicken Katsu Ramen and the workers were super sweet. The food was amazing and I can't wait to come back here the next time I visit! Everyone needs to try this place.“

“Remarkable ramen. They nailed the chashu, the noodles were great, and the TanTam broth was nice and clean. The apps tasted nice and clean. They could step up their sauce game but with their price and ramen quality I surely can not complain.“

“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!“

“This little ramen place has the best broth! We got kimchi and cucumber appetizers, and two kinds of ramen. The meat, we had both pork and chicken, was so so but the broth was absolutely delicious and made this absolutely worth it. Would definitely go back.“

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

“Outstanding ramen choices!“

“Impeccable service coupled with amazing food. I come from Irvine so we got good ramen but damn not like this. The atmosphere was cozy and homie. No obligation to dress up all fancy. Just a good focus on service and food. Employees are really cool, nice and helpful. We even watched the Max Holloway BMF fight on our phones. Def check this place out whether it’s for good vibes or great food.“

“Stumbled in on a Sunday at 8:45pm. I was seated immediately, and ordered the Toroniku Shio Ramen. Food came out lighting fast, and it was delicious.

The broth was everything you would want, silky and rich, flavorful, and perfectly salted. The ramen was perfect as well. Bouncey with a nice bite.

The Toroniku was amazing. Don't let the greyness of the meat deceive you. It was super tender and juicy. It also comes with green onions, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms on the side.

I finished everything. I got a medium portion, and the final cost was $17.59 after taxes.

This place will definitely satisfy your ramen craving, and if you want a large bowl it's only $1 more!“

“Good and it really was a good experience“

“Good stuff!! Try the tsukumen.“

“Gyoza, pronounced like "dumpling", is actually "pot sticker". The fillings are cabbage, leeks and minced pork. It's crispy, not greasy, and has just the right salty taste. It's delicious without adding soy sauce.
Various restaurants are surrounded by a small indoor food court (Lanai), with a spacious space and a leisurely atmosphere.“

“Food is good. Nothing super fancy. A great family place. Service is awesome. They are really friendly and sweet. Would I go again? Yes, absolutely. I just need to keep trying different things to find my favorite. My brother loves their roast pork. I haven't found my favorite yet.“

“We are on holidays from Australia and went on a Go Hawaii tour yesterday with Ian as our guide who recommended we try Sumo Ramen.
It was great! The staff were lovely and very attentive. The food was great and the prices were extremely reasonable.
Would recommend a visit to anyone wanting quick, cheap yet high quality food.“

“Lovely dining experience, wonderful service“

“We've been going to Lucky Belly since it opened. To say it's a Ramen restaurant is not quite true. Our absolute favorite dish is called Shrimp Kimchee Bowl. It's not like any Ramen you've ever had. Spicy, areas of cold, warm and hot. Perfectly cooked large shrimp that has a delicate coating. Unusual type of wood ears. Bean sprouts and ramen noodles. A perfectly cooked soft boiled egg and possibly the greatest broth you've ever had. We just came back to Oahu where we live after spending an entire month in Paris. We couldn't wait to have this dish. Every waitstaff is intimately involved with the cooking techniques and they all have the aloha spirit. By the way, if you are still hungry have the lobster shu mai in a delicate burre blanc. The greatest dumpling on Oahu.“

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

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

“This place was a bit hard for us to find due to the place being listed twice in the same building. The restaurant is on the ground floor and part of Noodle Street.
The place was quiet when we arrived around 3 on Thanksgiving Day but picked up when we left. We were seated promptly, and the hostess took our order without delay. They had vegan options, and they didn't charge more for it. All servings were one size, but they were hearty.
The food came relatively quickly and the ramen was just the right consistency. I finished all my vegan broth and my daughter's Waikiki special was loaded. I hope you find the time to give this establishment a visit.

Vegetarian options: They have both vegan and vegetarian option clearly labeled on the menu.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“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.“

“**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)“

“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.“

“servings is big and full filling“

“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.“

“We found this spot just driving around and we were VERY glad we did. Ordered the yaki soba pork and yaki soba chicken- the portions were HUGE and so delicious! We also ordered the pot stickers and had to get a 2nds. I’d go back again if I had a chance!“

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

“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.“
