“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“Went a second time here today and was not disappointed! We love Nagoya Ramen !“

“Decided to explore something new in the area and stumbled upon this excellent establishment. Visited post-lunch hours, so it wasn't overly crowded. A down-to-earth restaurant offering delightful katsu curries and ramen. The food arrived surprisingly quickly. We tried the spam, chicken, and shrimp katsu curries, all delicious, though the crunch was a bit hard. The combo sets are a great choice; we went for Combo A. The fried rice and mini ramen were spot on. If you crave ramen or curry, this spot is a must-try.“

“I ate the bento with spicy ahi and teri chicken. It was yummy. I come here with all my friends.“

“I had the beef pho and garlic chicken wings. While the chicken wings had no flavor and seemed to be fried without seasonings, the Pho was AMAZING! It was fresh and had enough of the pho soup in the dish. I will be going back for the pho. Polite staff.“

“Food is so delicious and staff extremely helpful and attentive“

“There's not enough space to right the good things about this place. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and acknowledged by everyone, including the sushi chefs. Water and drink order is perfectly timed. Whether you order teishoku complete meals or sushi, the flavor and and portions are spot on. If you choose to sit at the sushi counter, the spread is just amazing. From white fish, tuna, to shellfish and sometimes even a fruit or plant to cleanse the pallet. I would recommend reservations as this place is always busy. Takeout is also very good!“

“Great food, great service everyone is so nice, cheap eats and fast service. Highly recommend there ! We will be back. 💜“

“Finally got back to this place on a lunch run in Kalihi. When you want a hearty local style brekkie plate with the famous garlic chicken that will leave a lasting reminder when you burp all day this is the place yessa?

The place moved a couple years ago to a newer shopping plaza with ample parking across New City Nissan, and now accepts credit card and they also answer the phone to take phone orders so that helps make the lines here shorter... Iykyk.

I always get the Breakfast Combo special deluxe with garlic chicken, 2 bacon, scrambled eggs and fried rice. A classic local brekkie when youre hungry. Prices have gone up so its around $13 bucks plus tax but its comfort food. Support local.... 5 stars??“

“I'd prefer this place for sushi any day👏🏽 they are very welcoming through service. Although the wait times are longer depending on the rushes- you won't be disappointed!

Atmosphere could use some work, only because for us Polynesian people, especially are bigger than Asians so its an adjustment when you need to walk up and in the way of ppl who phone order + the workers. The walkways are really petite.

Food is 10/10😋 super tasty & FRESH! thank you!“

“Authentic Okinawa food. Friendly attentive servers. Hot delicious food. . Option for complete meal. Daily Specials. Generous servings. Affordable prices. Can make reservations.“

“チキン🍗好き❤️におすすめ。 チキン南蛮・もちこチキン・ チキンカツ、みんな安くて 大盛り大満足。オーナー宮崎都城市から日本人シェフ。場所はカリヒの海側 Nimitz の7-elevenとMcDonald の間1763Hoe St.9am〜1pm ランチしかやってないから急いでください。“

“A hidden gem. The prices are reasonable. The spicy chicken wings are amazing and crispy. I love the fried rice and the curry combos.“

“signature garlic chicken, chow funn.“

“Just when I was figuring what I was going to have for lunch, (since I skipped breakfast) my neighbor knocked on my door bringing food from Mamaya in Pearl Kai Aiea. I am blessed to have awesome neighbors that always share good eats with us and this is a spot I have yet to try. I was super excited because I’m originally from Aiea and anything from my hometown makes me super happy! They gave me a Bento Combo that had: Teri Beef, Fried Chicken, a slice of SPAM dipped in a teriyaki glaze, & a piece of fried panko fish with small container tartar sauce on a bed of multi grain rice. There was also a container with noodles with an assortment of toppings as well. Delicious! Very tasty and full of flavor. Noodles were firm and just right, not salty. The Beef Teriyaki was especially yummy!! I highly recommend this tasty local spot 😁👍“

“Went to Matsumoto’s Okazuya for chow fun“

“Great food comfortable dining“

“My boyfriend and I ordered the pork katsu curry and pork kakuni. The food was delicious, but we did have to wait longer than expected for our order. It's worth noting that this place is take-out only with no dine-in tables. The service didn't come across as welcoming.“

“At the last minute, 3 days before my Aunt Helen's funeral, hey took my order and promised to deliver a half hour before the end of Mass. It was delicious, on time and wonderful. They followed instructions for the Bentos. They are the best funeral and everything caterers!“

“Good service, great Japanese food for that side of the island.“

“I’ve dined in and done take out. They’re usually busy for dinner time and it’s limited seating so come early or you can wait. The staff is friendly and it’s quaint inside.
I like the free miso soup they bring before your food, and there’s plenty of options to choose from. Everything tasted fresh and was delicious. The rolls are huge and well worth the price!
I highly recommend the spicy ahi, titanic, SOS, and SMT roll. One of my new favorite spots!“

“I've never had shabushabu before and it was amazing! So many choices of everything! It's buffet and ridiculously delicious. So much food and so healthy too. Good idea to go for lunch because it's cheaper than dinner. And they were so kind to let me and my friend sit as long as we wanted. The service was wonder. I will definitely be back!“

“Great service and delicious food! ❤️❤️“

“There was a wonderful koi pond in this restaurant. It was not that busy. However, they seemed shorthanded because I kept looking for the waitress for a take out box. Finally, I had to stand up and ask for one from a man in a red shirt who appeared to be helping another table. The food was good. I especially liked the tempura of pumpkin, and string beans, the shrimp tempura was perfect. I ordered miso Butterfish. My husband liked it, but I did not like that it had a lot of black char on it. I read somewhere that the black Char is carcinogenic.“

“Takeout only. Get your freshly made bento here. The price is great and it's delicious!

I got the spam musubi and the ume onigiri along with their poke bowl.

Great spot to just grab lunch for later that day.

They do have military and senior discounts on the weekends.

Overall a great spot to grab the lunch to go.“

“Aji Ramen is a true gem that every ramen lover must visit! The moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

Now, let’s talk about the food! The portions are huge, and the ramen here is simply amazing! Each bowl is a perfect harmony of rich, flavorful broth, impeccably cooked noodles, and fresh toppings. Every slurp was a delightful experience that kept me wanting more.
The fried noodles, too, were outstanding – crispy, savory, and just the right amount of satisfying.

But what truly stole the show for me were the crab and cream cheese puffs. I can confidently say they are the best I've encountered at any restaurant in Hawaii! These puffs are incredibly light, bursting with creamy goodness, and filled with a perfect blend of tender crab meat. They are truly a must-try!

I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their incredible dishes! Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving flavorful affordable ramen and delightful appetizers!“

“You will not find more kindness and hospitality than what is provided here. I visit just to buy a can soda because aunty genuinely brightens my day. I end up leaving with a bunch of delicious food because she offers more than just sushi. Thank you for being a gem in Mapunapuna!“

“Super clean place to grab a solid, large portion lunch. You can order hot food or you can get a grab and go bento. I really enjoyed the tempura. So delicious. I’ll go back for sure. No seating at this restaurant but limited seating is available outside.“

“Take out only, clean homey family run okazuya. They are open until they sell out! CASH ONLY! Shoyu hotdog is soooo good, fried noodles with toppings taste just like the old Sato's they took over! Plenty of parking.

Parking: Free parking lot with lots of stalls. Easy to maneuver.“

“My family loves this place! I am pregnant, and haven't been able to enjoy any meat. My husband wanted to try this place, so we ordered the Kalbi BBQ. I thought I wasn't going to be able to have more than a small bite, because of my intolerance to meat. I was so glad we tried this place! I took more than just a bite, I finished everything. We love it! New favorite place! The food is so delicious!“

“Teishoku and the combination plates, fills you up at affordable prices.“

“Is Soo good“

“The food we ordered was yummy and definitely we will be back! And the service was excellent…👍🏼🤙🏻👌🏻👏“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“
