“ My friends and I went here for dinner and it was such a great experience! Food 5/5: We all got a ramen combo which includes ramen, the best fried rice I have ever had and some gyoza i believe! Service 5/5: The aunties are very accommodating ! Ambiance 5/5: Seating here loops which I have never experienced before but it was nice and it was sectioned by a plexiglass Cannot wait to come back here! ”
“ Great quick and easy ramen spot on the Waikiki strip! I had the Miso Butter Corn Ramen bowl w/extra char siu and Set A which also comes with Gyoza. Broth wasn't bad. I added their chili oil to give it a little spice since I don't have a high tolerance for spicy foods. Their gyoza is so fresh and probably the best gyoza I've ever had in my life to be completely honest. No complaints about the ramen. Service was fast easy and friendly! They were very family friendly but it is a Japanese ramen bar setting. No alcohol is on the menu. Overall nice quick and easy ramen spot to check out and open late! ”
“ Amazing food, excellent service! This small hole in the wall ramen restaurant is one of the best ramen you can get in Waikiki. It's very much Japanese style so it's all counter seating and the place is quite small. There were two small Japanese grandmas serving and they're super quick and efficient. The food was 9/10 and I definitely would come back again. They also have a restroom located in the back of the kitchen, which was super clean and tidy. Definitely recommend trying this place out :) ”
“ Great experience with this place. The first time to Hawaii and the first food I've ever tried over there. Awesome taste, served within 5-7 after order has been put. 100% come back if I'm around next time. No miss if you are there. May be waiting on the waiting list due to high demand in busy hours. Enjoy the place and food! ”
“ If you live in Hawaii, and have driven through Waikiki at night, then you've probably seen the line for this place out the door. We have been meaning to go here, but of course, the wait is what stopped us (and parking). Finally we were driving through Waikiki and we saw no line. We thought maybe it's closed and if it is, at least there's more spots to eat in Waikiki, and if it's open, we finally get to try this place! Thank goodness! The business is small, but I was fooled at first with the large mirrors. The smaller the business, the more it seems like traditional ramen restaurants; the core of ramen is that it's a quick food and quick service to get as many guests in and out as fast as possible. It also seems like there's only a few employees - a mother and son duo serving and waiting tables and someone in the back as a chef. I never would have thought this was a small family owned business in Hawaii and now that I do know, I give it even more praise for operating for so long. Okay, to the ramen part. I forget what I got, I just know that it had a big knob of butter in it and corn; for some reason I felt like corn that day. I do know it's one of the ramens they're most known for! My husband got a combo so that he could get ramen and some rice, and we both ordered gyoza as well. Everything tasted great and up to par. I understand why this place always has such a long line. Part of the reason is because of the limited seating in the shop, but also it's just worth a stop. It's a small business in Waikiki that serves great ramen! Why wouldn't you want to stop by and support them? ”
