Pattic SpeightsDecember 9, 2016I love it 😍 I got the spicy ramen with egg and corn and it was delicious. There is minimal seating so there may be a wait if you have a large party. I go back again and again.
ブルーノMay 14, 2016If you're a ramen lover as I am, then this place is for you! Always packed with Asian tourists (I guess is a good sign?), the line can get really long depending on the time you arrive. Cash only!
Natalie MJuly 6, 2018THE BEST RAMEN. hands down. Im going back. They are known for the ox tail but everything is good. A large bowl w/ the combo (gyoza & fried rice) is perfect for 2 ppl to split at lunch & affordable!
Jason MaJune 25, 2017Prepare for a thirty or forty minute wait during lunchtime on weekends, or any evening. But it's worth it -- tender char siu and hearty broth.
Kanji IshiwaraNovember 16, 2019Spicy ramen was larger than expected and tasted great. Price was very reasonable for Waikiki. Classic Japanese hospitality. 15% service charge added though I would’ve tipped more. 15 mins wait @4PM
Samantha PerryDecember 25, 2015Great place to go for ramen. Super busy so be prepared to wait in a 40 min line. It's easier to get seating in smaller numbers but definitely worth the wait.
Jessie RAugust 30, 2014Small place w horseshoe counter seating. Great ramen & gyoza! Quick, no frills service, inexpensive. Worth a wait, though if you go before 6 it should be a short line.
Rita LSeptember 24, 2023Hakata ramen and gyoza are good, fried rice is skippable, small shop and there’s usually a wait out the door
Ian KennedyDecember 29, 2015Had the cold ramen. Good broth, needed more sliced cucumbers, less kimichee. Wish they would work out their seating options. Two single seats remained open while two individuals were waiting in line.
Said M.December 22, 2013any Ramen bowl is brilliant. For me, Anything with Shoyu or Miso broth is ace. Go with Tokyo Ramen as your first, you can't lose! COMBO!
Valerie LeJanuary 10, 2015The spicy ramen here was good, add in corn and an egg. Wish they had their eggs soft boiled style though.
Qian SunJanuary 10, 2018I enjoined the OX tail ramen!! OX tail is very unusual for ramen but surprisingly good✨
Ailie ChangNovember 14, 2017Cash only! The Oxtail Ramen lives up to its hype. It's more on the salty side. If you want something more buttery try the Miso soup. Gyozas are great! Skip the fried rice, it's kinda bland.
Lucy LeeApril 2, 2018A little salty stock for Hakata donkotsu ramen. Spicy ramen looked good although I didn’t have it.
Noel WeichbrodtJanuary 10, 2014Excellent al-dente noodles, delicately cooked gyoza, unusual ginger tare broth, unremarkable beef protein.
Elisabeth LongshoreJuly 27, 2017Spicy ramen! Also, when the workers are not well versed in English, you know it's gonna be good.
Elena V.November 25, 2010Love the oxtail!! Get the set with the fried rice side. The buttery miso is better than the shoyu one. They have discount cards for locals too!
Mike RobertsAugust 26, 2014The spicy ramen and gyoza were awesome, get there early to beat the line.
Lucille FisherDecember 28, 2014Based on reviews, I ordered the house speciality-oxtail ramen. I ordered the set, with gyoza. Ramen was good, but not THAT good. So off to the next...
ginny hSeptember 6, 2014We waited about 25 mins. Oxtail ramen was good but not great. The broth was a bit weak and the oxtail itself is a bit fattier than the usual meat. $21 bucks for the set
Jason AmansecFebruary 5, 2015Remember to bring cash! The wait can be terribly long for a large party!
Christina AdrianiAugust 18, 2013Oxtail ramen is popular and if you don't turn up early be prepared to queue up. Soup is tasty but the ox tail itself wasn't really tender... noodles and other condiments were just average.
Vani PrabakaranOctober 25, 2015Cash only! Spicy Ramen was really good. Wasn't a fan of the dumplings
Cesar GuillenAugust 1, 2011This place is small and you might have to wait in line, but you won't find another place with great food as this. Seriously!
Regina Marasigan LopezJuly 11, 2011Ox tail ramen is always a hit! We always come here to eat, drool.
