Everything online and on the door of the place itself says closing hours are at 9:30pm. I walk in at 8:45 pm and I’m told “sorry, we’re closed.” I pointed to the door and said, it says 9:30 on your door and online. In typical, Asian IDGAF attitude, she says … we close 9:00! I said well, it’s only 8:45. She says, we close 9:00. I said so you aren’t going to serve me. She nodded no! I’ll never try this place again. Unbelievable.

Ramen is ramen and this was pretty good. Kinda bummed that we also ordered another plate that the waitress forgot about so it wasn’t added to our bill.

Daiichi Ramen was always one of my favorite places to eat... Tonight made a take out order that was missing the curry not a big deal called and was told to come back... Husband went back while the part we got is now soggy and cold they give the smallest amount of curry cause they said we already have the chicken katsu part... I was thinking a exchange for fresh food not crappy service and not worth driving the 15 mins back for nothing... NEVER GOING BACK... CUSTOMER SERVICE TONIGHT SUCKS...
Would have requested a refund and give all the other food back if I knew they'd do that... While most of my family ate one person waited a extra hour to get there cold food... And lady blamed my husband saying he forgot the curry when our food was in a box and taped down didn't know til we got home...

We stopped by Daiichi Ramen Kapolei after a day at Wet n Wild. The delicious ramen warmed and put huge smiles on our 3 young kids after an overcast day of surprisingly cold waterslides. I had the combo meal with Japanese curry, ramen, and I forget which type of fried chicken. All 3 were terrific. We will definitely go again, even though they are the totally opposite side of the island.

We ordered three entrees and they were all very tasty especially the pork fried rice. The staff was friendly and the place looks very clean - feeling like the food is safe to eat is my top requirements when dining out. Will be back.

Ain't gonna lie, it was perfect! I only put reviews only if it's something really bad or it's really good. My Ramen was really good, sauce and meat in it was on point. For service I'll give it a 4 just because the food was good. Food was quick, but if I say I'm ordering 2 items from the menu, I do not need to be looked at weird as if I don't know what I'm doing or what I want. The girl gave me a weird face just because I was by myself and I wanted 2 things from the menu. So I'll be nice and put 4 stars on that. Next time it'll be 1.

The portion of the food amazing so much food. Nice taste. We even get free dumplings. Decent price, fast servicies. If you hungry come to this place asap
In short, food and price are good. Service is lacking on follow up.
Work on timing and presentation. I ordered a tonkotsu ramen and a 4-piece gyoza order. Why did it take 5 minutes after you already served my ramen to come out with the gyoza. On top of that, you lost all sense of presentation and just threw the gyoza on the plate any which way; it's not like there was anyone else in the restaurant when I arrived and many minutes after that....
Regarding service, be sure to follow up and ask me how I'm doing at least once.... I'm no fan of constant questions during service, either, but the way your waitress did it today was basically come in, order, get served, and pay the bill--no follow-up in between, even when people were just trickling in as I was about to leave!
And, don't be shiesty with your napkins or risk appearing like you're unnecessarily penny pinching. That's just gauche, anyway, especially for such tasty food.
Otherwise, I genrally agree with other reviewers: The food is good (though not that generous, IMO) but the price is reasonable compared to many other places on this island and state.
Keep on improving. I'll be back!

Food is always amazing! Service not so much. Me and my Ohana came in after our movie to have dinner and the waitress was a bit rude. We came in around 8:50pm and they close at 9:30pm and she kept telling me last call because I guess the kitchen was closing already. We got our food, ate and left. Didn’t really get to enjoy our food as we felt rushed…

Daiichi Ramen has some good Japanese style comfort food. They give quite large portions so you can be sure you will not leave hungry.My go to dish is the Chicken Katsu Curry with a side of Gyoza. If you are not a big eater you can probably share this meal with someone. I actually ordered take out and they put the curry in a container on the side so that my Katsu would stay crispy by the time I actually eat it. Some places don't do that unless you ask.If you're in the area I'd recommend you give this place a try. You won't regret it.

Food was good. Compared to restos like Ramen Ya, Daiichi's food is better.Service was fast! I was so surprised at how fast our food was served.The dining area is spacious too. Parking is also as spacious.We ordered beef curry, black garlic ramen with pork fried rice and fish katsu combo. All are good.
