Ramen Restaurants near Pearl City, HI

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

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“

“I visited for the first time yesterday and loved it! I ordered the mochiko chicken, which was delicious. The place was busy, with people waiting outside, but I didn’t have to wait as I sat on the bar-side seating, which gave a great vibe. They also have regular tables, but I enjoyed the bar-style atmosphere. Overall, a great experience—I’ll definitely come back and recommend it!

“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 👏“

“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.“

“Stopped by the other evening to give Tanaka Saimin a try. I called in my order and it was packed up and ready when I arrived. The young lady that assisted me at the counter was super sweet. We got Tuna Cheese Melts with Miso Soup, a cup of Corn Chowder Soup and a scoop of their Macaroni Potato Salad.

We thought the sandwiches were delicious but would've loved a more crisp exterior. It came with a choice of Miso Soup, Fries, Mac Salad or Toss Green Salad. The Miso Soup was full of tofu and had a good flavor. The Corn Chowder was full of Potatoes and Corn and was delicious as well. The Macaroni Potato Salad had a great flavor and paired well with the sandwiches. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area. If I get the opportunity to return I plan to try the Won Ton Min... that looks good!“

“Excellent food! Quality ingredients crafted with care.“

“One of the best bowls of ramen and most delicious takoyaki I’ve ever had!! I tried the Vegan Tantanmen ramen with added tofu. The broth was so good-rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great portion as well. The takoyaki was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a soft, smooth inside and balanced umami taste. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Outstanding ramen choices!“

“Was it only me or did this restaurant close for a while? I was surprised to drive down Smith Street and see that my old favorite was open. I had to check dear old Google to figure out the hours of operations since a lot of places have very specific open/close times and also dinner and lunch service schedules. The place looked exactly the same since the last time I dined here. One of the first things I noticed is they were short-staffed. The single SUPERSTAR server was doing EVERYTHING from taking orders to busing tables to expediting food to cashier and hostess... I was surprised they didn't have her cooking the food too!  I was so proud of all the diners for having so much patience and being extremely nice to the waitress. Now, on to the best part of a review, THE FOOD!!! I started with the pork belly bao then on to my favorite BELLY BOWL which is their Ramen with all the vegetable goodies and bacon and sausage! Yes, you heard me, bacon and sausage!  I couldn't leave without having my old favorite nonalcoholic beverage, their famous tropical iced tea... Black tea infused with lychee flavoring! So refreshing! The location of this restaurant is in the heart of Chinatown, which will always struggle with Parking. On street metered parking is available but very limited, especially at lunchtime. There are public lots, but make sure you read the signs because it's very specific to what restaurants and businesses they support , and hours of operation for weekday/workday Parking. I would hate for you to get your car towed!  The ambience is great and can get loud depending on how busy the place is. Lucky Belly is worth checking out if you're in the area!“

“Really great food at great prices! A great neighborhood place to eat at or to grab a smoothie or milk tea! 😉“

“Good and it really was a good experience“

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

“The gyoza were tasty and cooked just right—same with the noodles, too! Lots of vegetables and other goodies along with the pork: DeLIcious! What a great chef and kind service! Even the bathroom was very nice and clean. Four thumbs waaay up!“

“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.“

“Nice little ramen restaurant next to Don Quitos. I ordered the tsukemen and it was good. The broth was flavorful with a slight spicy kick, fatty and aromatic with woodland mushrooms and an ajitama egg. It was well-seasoned but served lukewarm, and I would have preferred it hotter. The noodles had a pleasant chew, though a slightly thicker cut would have made it even better.“

“I randomly decided to try out this place and I got the Garlic Chicken plate. The chicken was cooked very well and the service was super fast (I was there at 9 PM). From walking in the ambiance was honestly not there. I feel like if this place had a good feel when you walked in, it could be top tier. I would've given it 4.5 stars if it was possible because it was missing just a little bit of flavor, but I understand that it is primarily a ramen restaurant. I will definitely try it again!“

“Really good ramen!!
Sampled off everyone’s broth at my table, and all of the soups were perfect!
Noodles tasted very fresh and perfectly cooked!
Front of house staff extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations!“

“Visited this place twice and enjoyed it both times. Their menu suggests a recommended extra topping for each ramen, which I think is worth the extra 2 dollars or so. The first time, I had a chicken soup ramen with wontons and chili oil (the extra topping). I enjoyed the wontons and the fried onions. The spicy ramen went well with the calpico drink I got, which was sweet with a yoghurt flavor. The second time, I had calamari appetizer with spicy mayo, and the tanaka classic ramen with parmesan cheese powder (the extra topping). It had a very creamy tonkotsu broth with char siu pork and lots of fried onions as well. The cheese mostly sank to the bottom of the soup but that was alright. The food is on the salty side but quite delicious overall. Had a strawberry ramune with that, which is a soda with a marble covering the top.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“Great place for comfort food of ramen and fried rice and gyoza. Owner is really friendly as well.

Parking: Can get very busy as times, but going early allowed for lots of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, so no stairs to deal with. Handicap stalls are close to their front door.“

“**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)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Japanese Ramen food is delicious 😋“

“Saturday take out 2 Ramen Set, one with beef curry/rice and the other with Mochiko chicken (tasty, tender and moist not like other places). Got it between 2 to 5 pm so we got a total of 16 gyozas. 4 each with each Set plus 4 more for each set.
Also, take out ramen is separated, noodles charsiu in one container and the hot soup in another container. 👍
Shucks, I didn’t take any photos 🤦🏽
Next time I will cause going there again.
🙏👍💕“

“servings is big and full filling“

“Such a good experience! The portion sizes are huge! Especially the Aji ramen bowls so it’s very easy to share. We brought our vegetarian friend as well and the staff made sure to make the broth safe for her to eat. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly.“

“9/2024
Got a quick order for takeout at this convenient location in Kapolei. Combo Tonkotsu Ramen with side gyoza and side beef curry. Great value for under $20. Can't go wrong. Sorry, I didn't take a pic, but it was worth it. Give it a try! ??“

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

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

“Delicious pastries! I love their Pork Vegetable Fried Noodles. And their pork broth is so good, and so different from the other ramen places that I’ve been to.“

“I have been here twice; once for breakfast and once for plate lunch. Both were solid meals, good portions and I got out under $15. I had a Portuguese sausage omelet for breakfast and chicken katsu curry for lunch. The picture is half way through the regular size portion. The interior doesn't have a lot of seating but it's clean and air conditioned.. . I highly recommend this Ewa Beach hole in the wall. Plus they cater. Ono-licious.“

“Good if you want ramen and something quick. I came here on my break and ordered a sukiyaki ramen with a side order of kakiage tempura. Food came out in about 3-4 min. Ramen is standard, nothing too special about it. I was disappointed in the kakiage tempura because it was soggy right after I received it.“

“While browsing through Island Grocery Depot's Kahului store, I came across a pack of Sun Noodle's Tonkotsu Ramen. Already loving their Shoyu version, I was hesitant about trying it because I'm not a huge tonkotsu fan, mainly due to it's color and creamy flavor. Luckily, this bet paid off!

TONKOTSU RAMEN:
The 2-serving pack comes with separated fresh noodles and 2 packets of base. When I make ramen using fresh noodles, I always use 2 pots, one to boil the noodles and the other to boil the dashi, then throw the noodles in to have a searing hot bowl of ramen, the only way to eat it. The directions state to dilute the base in 10-12 ounces of water, 12 was perfect. The flavor was really good - creamy, porky, and is a little thicker than traditional broth. I wish I could've decorated it with toppings but this was just a quick lunch in between my day-off list of chores.

OKINAWA SOBA:
These fully-cooked, thick, white noodles also comes in a 2-pack tray. Even though the noodles are pre-cooked, most folks will want to boil them a little longer as they are super al dente. The dashi flavor is a mix of bonito-beef-shoyu. It's a different, unique flavor that I could probably get used to.

YAKISOBA (PLAIN):
The 6 ounce package of full-cooked yellow noodles doesn't come with any dashi, so it's up to you to find your own seasoning. Luckily for me, my mom has tons of dashi packs from the Saimin noodle bags, so that goes perfect with these noodles as a stir fry. Toss in some sliced Spam, bean sprouts, shoyu, and oyster sauce for added flavor. You'll definitely need at least 2 packs to feed one person.

YAKISOBA WITH SAUCE:
This 11.5 oz. package is the better of the two, mainly because it comes with powdered seasoning. I pan fried some Spam, fried the noodles for a bit, added 1/4 cup water, then added both packets of seasoning, which wasn't overly salty at all. Delish!

SAIMIN:
They offer 2 styles, one with a thicker noodle in the white bag, the other thinner in the clear & orange bag. Both are 2 servings in 1, and come with dashi packs. I love these both ways, either as traditional saimin or stir fried.

SHOYU RAMEN:
Our local Costco sells these as a 4-pack, so I get 8 servings of piping hot, salty shoyu ramen on demand! They freeze well and I don't even have to thaw the noodles to cook. The packets of shoyu-oil thaw out in no time, and the end result is ramen shop quality & taste. Just add your own toppings.

MISO RAMEN:
Having had horrible-tasting miso ramen in many-a-restaurant, I was hesitant to try this. I'm happy to report that their version rocks! The broth was full of flavor and depth, and when combined with their eggy-flavored noodles, sent this baby into orbit! Highly recommended even for the miso hater!

FACT:
Ramen Lab in NYC was ran by Sun Noodle, and featured guest chefs that cooked in front of you while seated at a traditional ramen bar. Wish I got to try them!

OVERALL:
Another winning product from this now nationwide company that started out in the 808. Can't get good ramen at a restaurant, like on Maui? Head to your grocer's refrigerator and grab a package of this diamond in the rough good stuff and settle that craving!“

“It is hard to get a good meal in the mall's food court, but I must say that the Champon here is very good and a healthier option that fills you up and is tasty as well. I got the Fujiyama Champon which is their largest portioned Champon. It is loaded and you need to be hungry for it. I must admit that I had big eyes when I ordered it and couldn't finish it. What I like most about order Champon is that it is made fresh, packed with lots of veggies, not oily or heavy, and tastes great. Much rather have this then Ramen which is just noodles, an oily and salty broth, and a some meat. Being that this is in the mall food court, it isn't exactly going to be the type of place that has a bend of backwards type of service, but they are friendly for the most part and get your order right.“

“More value for money! Awesome food, big savory portions! It’s also a family-friendly place! They recently added toys and a stuff toy vending machine for the little ones. If you are dining in, the ambiance is cozy, they have their own restroom. Tables are big and can accomodate bigger groups if needed. I always order from them either from Uber Eats or in-person at the restaurant for dine-in or take out! Staff is very friendly! I love going to this restaurant. It’s also close to Long’s and Foodland so if you have errands to run, everything is in one location! :)“

“We frequently get spicy ramen at this restaurant, and it's always delicious. The flavors are perfect and the heat isnt overpowering. I genuinely love this place not only for the delicious food but also for the welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive. Additionally, the prices are pretty reasonable given the quality of the food, and the portion sizes are generous. Whether you're a ramen junkie like me or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“

“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.“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“

“We were here about 4 years ago, and it was so fantastic. It was the only thing we wanted to do when we came back, we did it early in the day for lunch. They were very welcoming. I had the oxtail soup and it was absolutely fantastic. The best soup I've ever had, the noodles were perfect bite. The broth was wonderful spicy. My wife had the spicy pork also wonderful. The rice is unbelievable. Good, the flavor that they get into these dishes is outstanding. We live in Seattle area. Can't wait to come back. I can't put into words how good it always is“

“Open air food court. I went early and it was not noisy yet. Ordered the the Special Miso Ramen. Wow. What got me was the amount of Charsiu included. Had 6 good size pieces, soft and tasted great. Was not chewy at but all. Miso broth was a little thin, but when I mixed in the butter wow the broth came alive and thickened up to my liking . Nice picrc of Bamboo Shoots and not the thin slices you get elsewhere. Corn, geen onions and bean sprouts piled in rounded out everything. I enjoyed the bowl of Ramen immensely also because I'm a big fan of Charsiu which made they had more then many other Ramen shops I've been to. I'm going back soon

Parking: I was in the Handicapped space and there was no charge on the ground level“
