“Great food and friendly service. Don't let the location or the outside appearance scare you off, this is an excellent place for a quick and cheap meal. We fed an adult and 2 kids for breakfast for $14 total. Can't beat that anywhere in Hawaii. We'll be back.“
“This is one of those places where you should probably not be super adventurous. If you like orange chicken, order that. If you like fried rice, order that. If you normally don’t order an itemFrom another Chinese spot, keep that same energy with this one. Trust me“
“I ate in the parking lot but it was clean, four stars just because it wasn't a parking lot, LOL anyway it's the grape flavor you expect from Panda Express if you like it, which I do so it was fine for me the ordering process of superfast I really appreciate a company with consistent quality“
“They have a great variety of flavors for savory and sweet manapua! I tried them fried and my top favorites were: spinach mozzarella, honey garlic chicken, sweet potato, and Oreo. The owner is so friendly and we would love to come back again to try other items there!“
“I had very high hopes for this place.A few weeks ago, I stopped by for the first time and got beef curry and gyoza to go. It was spectacular! Decided to go for the ramen next visit.And I did.I wanted to get the thickest, most robust flavored soup, so I got the "Special" tonkotsu black garlic ramen.I really liked the visual presentation. Very vibrant, neat and appetizing.As with most ramen takeouts, the soup and noodles were packaged in separate containers. Before pouring the soup into the ramen bowl, I took a little sip.It was a tad disappointing, as I had such high hopes for this shop. The soup was a bit on the bland side. I guess the fried garlic chips are supposed to carry the flavor but there's nothing else. What I did notice was a slight slimy texture and a hint of odor. This probably indicates that inferior pork bones were used to draw the soup stock.For those of you who don't know how tonkotsu soup is made, ignorance is bliss. If you knew exactly what's in it, you may be traumatized!So, I'll spare you the details. What I will say is that hours of boiling the pork bones is needed to extract the umami, but other ingredients are crucial too. Grated ginger, garlic cloves, salt and pepper are some of the common items that are used. Despite the shortcomings of the tonkotsu soup, I have high hopes that Rakumen could be a top contender in the ramen world if they tweaked their soup just a little bit. Use better quality pork bones would be one. Adding a bit more flavor would be the other. *I had some leftover soup, so I added a little grated ginger and garlic with a few drops of la-yu to it and already, it was about as good as the other ramen shops in town. I give them 4 stars despite the seemingly harsh critique of their tonkotsu, because of their prompt and courteous service. But most of all, I believe that they will only get better.Looking forward to visiting again to up them to 5 stars!“
“A very nice surprise when my daughter took me here today. The hot sour soup was excellent and the only thing I didn't like was that the noodles were super slippery and hard to grasp with the chopsticks. But the flavors were spot on and the fried calamari appetizer was Ono. No sauce needed for the calamari. The pancake (soufflé) strawberry dessert was also delish and don't forget the ice cream with the dessert. My daughter forgot to order the vanilla scoop for $2. This place is a must try if you're in Pearlridge.“
“I ordered thru UberEats as this was my 1st time ordering from this place. I ordered the Crispy Gau Gee (6 pc), Mini plate Chicken Katsu, Mini plate Teriyaki Beef, and the Fried Noodles (Spam and Fishcake).The food was really delicious, and the portions were worth the value. I definitely recommend anyone wanting some local food, order from here.“
“The restaurant is run by a Southeast Asian business, and you choose your own ingredients, weigh them, go to the cashier, order your preferred soup, noodles, and size, and pay based on the weight of the ingredients.Children love this shop because they serve Taiwanese-style shaved ice ? after the meal.Parking: Since it is a restaurant area with many restaurants, there are many shared parking lots.“
“I've been trying to come here for months since seeing they were voted the #1 Roast Duck Shop on O'ahu. They didn't disappoint! Their roast duck was succulent, juicy, and perfectly flavored. I also got the roast pork ends and it was good but I'm going to try it again when it's nice and hot - I know it will be great. The char siu was awesome. It was moist and flavorful, not hard nor dry. Looking forward to it all again.“
“Quintessential Chinese-American food, full of refined starch, cooking oil and artificial colouring. People seem to love it! Granted, some of the dishes, like the Pekin duck, really were delicious.Service, no matter my food preferences, was excellent. Friendly, casual atmosphere that’s great for large parties or family meals.Also, it’s cold in here, so bring a jacket.“
