808 Ramen is truly something special. Every dish tastes like it was made with love. The broth is incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. The short rib was perfectly tender, the katsu was packed with flavor, and the dessert was nothing short of amazing. My kiddos devoured the spam musubi, and the mac salad was absolutely perfect! We've tried almost everything on the menu, and each item brings its own unique taste of the 808. What really sets this place apart is the people. They are so kind and sweet, and they make you feel like you're dining in their home rather than a restaurant. That warmth--combined with phenomenal food--is what keeps us coming back. If you're craving a little piece of the 808 and food made with genuine care and heart, 808 Ramen is definitely the place to go. read more

Finally got the chance to try this place! Simple menu, either you want ramen or rice dishes, this place deliver great food. Ordered their Karaage, kuni ramen and th meat jun. everything came out quick, although the appetizer came last. The flavors were good we enjoyed everything we ordered. The meat Jun was pretty unique since I never seen it in any menu, and it was delicious with the potato salad. The restaurant is a little small, remind me of some Japanese mom and pop stores. Everyone was super friendly. read more

808 Ramen - Tankatsu Curry plat with Mac. So good. - Ramen Near Me - Rocklin, California

808 Ramen is located in the Safeway plaza on Sunset Blvd in Rocklin where Ohana Hawaiian BBQ was. Interior has been redesigned with calm blue walls and Hawaiian themed art. The restaurant has 2 tables for two, 4 tables for four, and 9 counter seats (regular table height). Business was hopping on a cold and foggy Saturday night 1 hour before closing, so you may need to wait for a table or order to go. No waiting area. Tables by or in front of the door can be chilly. A party of 12 to 15 people with Hawaiian roots and connections to the Hawaiian restaurant owner arrived, traveling from West Sacramento just to experience. Food is authentic Hawaiian. The cashier taking my order seemed to both encourage me to try their signature Broke Da Mouth Ramen and warn me of its spice level. You have your choice of 5 spice levels. I originally was going to try 3, but downgraded to 2. Thai Chilis are used to spice the house made pork broth. 2 was good for me. I probably could handle 3. The cashier also took the time to check on me and my food despite how busy the restaurant was. Broke Da Mouth contains a lot of garlic: black garlic oil, garlic butter, and fried garlic slices. I was burping garlic the rest of the night and had some indigestion. Flavorful broth. It is also served with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which looks like a snow pile in your bowl. 808 Ramen makes its own Hakata style Ramen, which are thin noodles cooked al dente. The texture reminded me of egg noodles, and the appearance reminded me of buckwheat soba noodles. Unique and unusual ramen noodles that are an acquired taste. I found the softboiled marinated ramen egg or aji tamago to be much too salty. It was gelatinous inside. The SPAM Musubi looks fancier than average because of its furikake seasoned rice. However, I found the SPAM to be dry and overcooked. Chicken Katsu was sold out, so you might want to call and inquire ahead if that's what you want to order. I thought the seasoned Manini Fries looked good. Loco Moco reviews are all positive. Restaurant offers Mochiko Chicken, which is Hawaiian style dark meat chicken batter fried with Mochiko sweet rice flour. I am curious about the Japanese Egg Salad Sando special, of which a picture is posted on Instagram: @808ramenrocklin. I might try the No Worry Beef Curry someday. Aloha to 808 Ramen, and congratulations on your success! read more

I was craving Ramen and got to try this place for a late lunch on Saturday. You order at the counter and they give you a number to place on the table. I felt a little awkward being prompted to tip on the keypad prior being served. The tables have utensils and napkins. After a short wait, my diamond head ramen quickly arrived. The noodles were thin, the cha sui was lean to my liking, and there was a full egg perfectly cooked. The kaarage chicken came last; it was nice and crunchy and comes with a lot of cabbage. The staff also came by to check on us...with food in my mouth, thumbs up for good. read more

Onolicious Hawaiian food! [Rocklin CA] This fast-casual eatery serving Hawaiian kine style food replaced the restaurant formerly occupied by Ohana Hawaiian BBQ in the Safeway shopping center in Rocklin. Came for the first time on a Friday evening and the place was packed and busy. This is a counter service restaurant so we placed our orders at the counter: 2 Loco Mocos - these are House-made hamburger patty, smothered with brown gravy, topped with two fried eggs (cooked the way you like) served w/ a scoop of white rice and (choice of) Japanese potato salad or Hawaiian macaroni salad. Our plate lunches were delivered to our table (we found seating at a bar counter against the wall). My Loco Moco was one of the best (if not da best) I've ever tasted, like straight from the 808 (hence the name), like I'm back on island time. The beef was cooked crispy (which is the way I like it) and browned evenly. If you've never tried it, you're in for a treat! The staff were friendly and some engaged with the diners explaining the history of the restaurant which started with an Uncle ("Unko" in Hawaiian) who owned restaurants in Hawaii. Mahalo... will definitely be back. Review #3954 read more

I saw some 808 Ramen pop up on Yelp and we happened to be near by. We were also still missing Hawaii so 808 Ramen sounded like the perfect choice. We walked in and instantly loved the vibe. The walls had lots of Hawaiian and Japanese prints, and the TV was playing surfing shows. The bathroom even had hilarious comic art with Hawaiian jokes. The menu had different ramens, appetizers, and plates with most dishes having fun names. We got the Diamond head ramen, chicken katsu curry, and IYKYK meat jun. Food was delicious! The curry was rich and katsu slices were big. The meat jun was thin and tender and great with the sauce and cabbage. The ramen noodles were thin and broth flavor was nice. Staff were great even with the place being so new. We didn't have any issues with service. They're closed on Sunday and Mondays, open all day Saturday, dinner on weekdays. We definitely want to come back again and try more of their great food! read more

This place just opened up a week ago and owned by a small family and definitely tastes like authentic Hawaiian food! I was so happy to see that they have meat jun which is a Hawaiian speciality dish that has Korean origin. It's thinly tenderized beef covered in egg and you dip it in a soy sauce/vinegar sauce. The last time I had meat jun was in Wakiki and I haven't seen a place in California that does it. The meat was perfectly tender and nicely thin and their sauce was ammmaaazing! If you have never tried meat Jun, I'd say give it a try! My husband got the chicken katsu with curry. He was super hungry so it got devoured before I could take a picture. The chicken katsu was perfectly crispy and their Japanese curry had nice flavor. We both tried their macaroni salad and loved it! Not heavy like your typical macaroni salad but light and nicely seasoned. Definitely try their macaroni salad with their plates. This shop is currently in their soft opening with limited hours and the owner said their grand opening will be in about a month and they will work on expanding their menu as well. If you miss Hawaii, come here for some local Hawaiian food! Tastes just like the small eateries in Oahu! I will definitely be back Soft opening hours: Sun-Mon closed Tues-Fri: 4-8pm Sat: 12-8pm read more

I found myself at the new Hawaiian-style ramen shop that had their soft opening in Rocklin this weekend,To tell u I was impressed is an understatement,let me tell you why.First off the food was very tasty,we ended up ordering multiple dishes and appetizers,including Broke Da Mouth ramen spice level 3,so tasty and rich,but beware,does pack a punch at spice level 3,so tread lightly.We also tried their Loco Moco,though I don't consider myself an expert with that dish,I do know what tastes good and it tasted great-would definitely order again.The Kaarage Chicken with a side of ponzu was very yummy with perfect seasonings.Lastly the Manini fries with a side of aioli hit the spot,made perfectly crispy,I'd order again for sure. Secondly the service stood out,the hostess was very friendly and checked on us multiple times during the meal as well as greeting us as we were leaving just to make sure everything went well,felt like I was a guest at a family dinner-I really enjoyed it. In closing,I feel this spot will be a welcome addition to the flourishing ramen scene in the Rocklin/Roseville area and is well worth the visit as the taste quality of their food may just be at the top of the list-Enjoy! read more

When you are in the Roseville area, look no further for the best Hawaiian food around because 808 Ramen brings the ono! You can get local plates such as loco moco and katsu. They even have musubi which tastes so good. The employees bring the aloha spirit and the wonderful tastes of the islands to the mainland. The dining inside is limited with counter seats and table seating. I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend you check out 808 Ramen for some great Hawaiian food! read more

Wife saw the soft opening sign; so we decided to give it a try. I went for the house special - Broke Da Mouth. Wow - the broth was so flavorful and the ramen had a nice chewy texture.

Our New Local Favorite- Here's why!! We checked out a new spot called 808 Ramen, serving Hawaiian-style comfort foods that are onolicious!! The menu is small, but honestly... I could've tried EVERYTHING. Caroline went with the Chicken Katsu Curry and we all loved it. The chicken was perfectly crunchy and that curry sauce was straight MONEY -- rich, deep flavor with that dark brown color we adore. It came with rice and macaroni salad. I ordered the Meat Jun (IYKYK) and OMG... it took me straight back to mom's cooking -- but dare I say... better than mom's Flattened and seasoned steak dipped in egg batter, pan fried, served with a little dipping sauce. Sweet, tangy, tender, DELICIOUS. I cleaned my plate! Debi had the Loco Moco, a Hawaiian classic: handmade hamburger patty over rice, topped with two over-medium eggs and gravy on the side. Great portion, super tasty, and yup -- Mac Salad included. We're SO happy to have this dish nearby! Hiromi ordered the Diamond Head Ramen. She's picky (because she's from Japan and knows her ramen!) -- and she loved the broth. That says everything. She just wished the noodles were thicker, but the ingredients were fresh and generous. We also shared ikageso (fried squid) -- tasty! But our favorite appetizer was hands-down the karaage chicken. Perfect seasoning, crispy, juicy... honestly didn't even need the sauce. We wished we had more room to try the rest of the menu, so clearly... we'll be back. Big mahalo to Jackie for taking such great care of us! read more

It's a nice little gem. Small, cozy, and clean. Food is uniquely made like home cooking. Hubby got the loco coco and I got the broke da mouth ramen as we shared the mochiko chicken.

Checked out 808 Ramen during their soft opening and everything hit the spot. We tried the Broke Da Mouth ramen, the Chicken Katsu plate, and the Ikageso. The Broke Da Mouth ramen broth was rich and savory, noodles with great texture, and the egg was cooked perfectly. Nothing beats a perfectly yolky egg. The melted cheese on top made the bowl totally unique and extra comforting. The Chicken Katsu's breading was light and crispy, and the chicken stayed juicy. Of course, we had to have it with side mac salad but you can also have it with potato salad. Portions are generous and well worth the price. Even the little touches stand out--like the bathroom decorated with comic strips so you can learn some pidgin while you're in there. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. 808 Ramen is bringing a taste of aloha, and we couldn't be more excited. read more

Love this place! It's hard to find a Hawaiian ramen place in the area, so when they had their soft open, we had to go! They chefs don't skimp on quality. We started with the chicken karaage with just a light coating, but the pieces are larger and juicy! The Pelehu short ribs were thicker than the ones you get at other Hawaiian places. The meat was tender and marinade was tasty. My husband had the Diamond Head level 3 spicy ramen and the broth was thick and flavorful. It was the first time I had the IYKYK meat Jun and it tasted like a thin piece of short ribs covered in scrambled eggs. The chicken katsu was made with dark meat so you know it wasn't dry. Since it was so delicious the 1st time, we decided to to go a second time and try something else. That time we had No Worry Chicken Katsu Curry, No Worry Beef Curry, and the Kuni ramen. The curry sauce was thick and you can taste the spices well. The beef curry had large pieces of carrots. We definitely will go back to try the other ramen dishes. They also have Saturday Specials. We didn't see the special for that Friday, but it was the Kahuku Style Garlic Shrimp. Those from Hawaii and have had the oxtail soup in Oahu should go this Saturday and try the Oxtail soup! It will be our go to for home cooked Hawaiian food! read more

As soon as we walked into the restaurant, we felt a sudden sense of being back home & it was like going to your favorite ma & pa restaurants/diners that you would normally go back to it you were in Hawaii. You know the kinda vibe of "what you like eat?" & "we go here." Definitely somewhere I'll be going back to! Service was great - Very welcoming and easy to talk to! Like I said, missing home and being invited into an atmosphere you long for in a while hits hard! One thing about local people, is they show aloha with their aura & FOOD. Which brings us to the next topic FOOD We ordered the manini fries with the yuzu aioli, meat jun, loco moco, Hawaiian style ice cream (their rendition of the guri guri (IYKYK) & pumpkin crunch. Let's just say food did NOT disappoint! Everything was ONO (delicious). I know they're a ramen spot, and I can't say anything about their ramen yet, but next time we go back, definitely going to try one I have my eye on! Mahalo 808 ramen for bringing a piece of home to Rocklin, CA! read more

Tried 808 Ramen the other day. Love the fact that the staff is from the islands. Has a very locals nostalgic feel, think Young's Fish Market on Oahu. We only tried the chosen katsu and curry katsu. The star of the show was the katsu sauce- outstanding and the chicken was top quality. I would would have given them 5 stars but the Mac salad was bland and we had asked the server to put the curry sauce on the side since we had to drive home about 15 minutes. They forgot to put it on the side and it was a little mushy when we got home. read more

Tried the Broke da mouth ramen at 808 RAMEN and was completely blown away, the broth was rich, creamy, and packed with bold, fried garlic.

Ramen is probably the worst Ramen I've ever had. The broth has no depth or flavor, and the noodles are even worse. This will be a Ramen place I would never recommend and I've been to a lot. I've had better instant Ramen from the grocery labeled Shin Black than this. Even the egg was not done properly and was extremely cold. As far as the Hawaiian food I think it is still the same original Hawaiian food that was here before the change to Ramen not sure but if it is, the Hawaiian food is definitely good. read more
