There's no ring of food hell low enough for this place. It's fluorescent lighting in a dingy quasi -food court with a bowl of mildly salted water. The vegetable ramen was so bland that I found myself daydreaming about Cup o Noodles. In fact, if someone would have offered me a Top Ramen, I would have paid double for it then what I did. I've had lukewarm, flaccid, weeks-old celery soaking in water that had more taste.
I even asked for some black garlic oil because they have a soup with it in the title. I was told that they don't have it, but I could order that ramen if I wanted it. I asked what was in it? "Black garlic oil and water" What?
I don't know if there can be an established court in Nuremberg for food crimes, but the owners of this place deserve it, if not worse.
I would rather eat at a Kmart cafeteria because at least I know that no one there has any pretense of cuisine. Look in your car seat for old peanuts before you eat here.

Ordered a tofu dish that ended up having pork in it. No big deal I reordered a new dish with no meat paying for both because that was my mistake. The new ramen i got was served so hot I had to spit it out on the table scorching my whole mouth. Lost my appetite after that and brought the full bowl back. The cashier took it and didn't even bother to ask why I brought it back. 0/0 stars if possible.

This place is a scam. Food is ok but service is horrible and the overcharged me. It says to go containers are .35 and they charged me $1.50 for two and told me too bad their sign was outdated

Miso soup is the litmus test for ramen shops, and they absolutely nailed it. Situated in the food court, you can eat in the court or eat inside. 10/10

We went here when the place we intended to go was closed. I wasn't expecting much, but it was awesome. Guy at the counter was super helpful and recommended the beef ramen, which honestly was so much meat I ended up giving some to my SO. He got the gyudon (beef bowl), which was tasty, but he felt there wasn't enough meat to rice ratio (that being said, he isn't the biggest rice fan). The egg was cooked perfectly, though, with a nice runny yolk. My spicy beef Ramen was superb, but the true winner was the gyozas. Those got eaten so fast that I didn't have a chance for a picture. Clearly made fresh and a great texture, with a flavorful filling. And they had plenty of sauces and spices to add if you weren't happy, including fried garlic! Wish I lived on this island so I could visit again. Highly recommend for a fast, quick, and tasty meal.

Shopping mall food court option. The ox tail Ramen was delicious. They have dine in option but we ate our food in the open seating area.

Had the beef ramen and didn't care for it. The beef was tough and gristly. My wife had the Miso ramen and loved it.

If you don’t feel like getting a plate lunch from one of Kukui Grove food court’s three local food places, Aloha Ramen is a decent alternative. Food is at Kaua’i prices, but the taste is acceptable and portion sizes are decent. This is especially the case for ramen, as they give you a ton of noodles. The one weird thing is that the miso ramen broth had a sort of a fruity flavor, almost like lilikoi.

It was absolutely delicious! I can’t remember exactly what I ordered… Spicy Tofu with Charsiu and it was INCREDIBLE! Will have to visit again on another holiday!
We grabbed food to-go and it was good! Service was quick and well

The food was pretty awful. I had beef udon but the beef was big chops of grilled beef and the broth was very oily and not udon like.My friend had dumplings and they were just microwave dumplings in a plastic container like what you get from a convenient store.
