    Tonkotsu ramen
    Jasmine N.

    Located in the food court area of an outdoor shopping plaza. They have seating available inside or in the shared outdoor food court space. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen per recommendation of the staff. The ramen comes with ramen noodles, two slices of charsiu, two pieces of seaweed, a naruto fish cake, one marinated egg, bamboo shoots, and green onion. For what it is and where you're getting it, it's not bad. If you have a ramen craving, it might hit the spot. The charsiu pieces were pretty thick and tender and good flavor. The broth isn't super rich and deep so I'd recommend adding some chili oil.

    Aloha ramen right away smells delicious. Good variety of food. I ordered the black garlic oil udon. Udon was good. However the pork in the udon seemed a little burnt or just too over cooked. Bamboo flavor was a little too heavy for me. Next time I would just order without the bamboo and maybe substitute the pork with beef. Overall the soup base and noodles were good.

    Small hole in the wall. There is a small place to order and plenty of seating inside, but mostly outside in a covered food court. The seating is ample and nice. Food was ok. We had a few different food item, including ramen, and everything was just ok and not very memorable. I wanted ramen, but I wish I would have chosen a better place (we were hungry).

    We landed and it took 2 hours to get our car rental. We are hungry, most likely hangry. I'm at the state where any food would taste good because I'm so hungry. Aloha Ramen. Sounds authentic enough, right? Well, the owner was speaking Chinese so it's not a Japanese ramen place. Yet, why did I order Tonkatsu ramen when I know it's not authentic? I was pleasantly surprised. It was better than what I expected. The ramen was a bit on the salty side, but the pork meat was solid. I was hungry and the ramen filled me up. I would come back here in the future, even if I'm hungry.

    It's a tiny little place in a strip type mall near Target. They have a couple tables in the back or a large outdoor food court seating area. Both dishes were fresh and came out quickly. Defiantly a good stop when heading to Lihue from Poipu.

    Croquettes
    Cindy C.

    Located in the food court in the mall. We were starving and didn't want to spend time searching for quality food so we ended up here. The service was fast and friendly. Food was as expected for fast food. The croquettes came out really hot and was delicious. The oxtail ramen left something to be desired however. The curry had lot of flavor but not much meat and vegetables; it was mostly sauce. The Katsudon was really bland so the curry sauce came in handy. It's quick meal, but I'd pass next time.

    For a small restaurant in the shopping mall, this was pretty good. The broth for the tonkatsu, i would say is creamy but can be creamier. The tan tan noodles, the broth was not rich, wish it were though. It had a kIck to it, both pieces of meat in both were on the tough side. I love the bamboo. The croquette was fluffyyand crispy on the inside.

    My order was wrong. I ordered shrimp and got some unidentifiable chewy, grisly meat instead. Zero broth and zero flavor ramen. I threw it in the trash and started over on dinner because it was so very bad.

    Always in the mood for ramen

    Oxtail ramen is a winner. We also tried their Katsu curry, mini ramen, and fries. Everything was Ono!! This place is a hole in the wall, a little pricey but so worth it.

    inside

    This is a true gem inside a mall area Food court in Kauai. Their setup is like the small street fast food joints in Sapporo or Nagoya but their food rivals the best Japanese restaurants outside of Japan. They have exquisite and good varieties of Ramen, and they also have the mainstream favorites available. I can confidently say they have the best Ramen in Kauai island.

So decided to go to Costco to see if their optical department could tighten my Costco glasses before heading back to the mainland. The optical department closes earlier than the store itself, so we ended up wandering around. We intentionally went there on the last day after our luggage had been packed, thinking it would prevent us from buying things to bring back. But there were two things that we don't see on the mainland, that were of good price: 1.5 Coffee beans from Molokai Estate Coffee (100% from Molokai, and which my wife confirmed later was very good) and a Ube cream Liquor from the Philippines, that went great with the said coffee. Both fit in our checked bags and made it home safe. It wasn't too crowded because it was close to closing and was of large size, including self checkout lanes. Another good visit to Costco.

The prices are very reasonable! We probably saved $3-10 off each plate coming from Maui. My dad got the LauLau Plate and said the meat was soft and moist and my mom NEVER annihilates her food and she literally ate every bite of her Steamed Fish which was Catfish today. It had this yummy soy or sesame sauce with some green onions and ginger on top. My Oxtail Soup with Rice was perfect for the cold rainy day. Delicious pieces of fall off the bone oxtail and I literally dumped all the cilantro and ginger in the hot broth. Mom and I had a bit of a fuzzy throat so we got the Calamansi Juice with Honey which was delicious! As you sip, you taste pieces of Calamansi and see swirls of seeds and calamansi skin. If you like pulp, you'd enjoy this refreshing drink. We ended the meal with 4 pieces of hot egg tarts! I'm surprised they had them because when I go to Oahu, there's some spots where you special order them on the weekends. Overall, a delicious local spot here in Lihue!

    While researching places to eat on Kauai, there is just too much. But after watching a few videos…read moreon different social media platforms, it was pretty much the same. I grew up in Hawaii and just wanted to experience the classics. Kauai Diner fulfilled this wish. Initially, I planned for Kauai Diner as our first stop for lunch when we landed as it is less than 10-minutes from the airport. However, my sisters weren't hungry for lunch at the time. On our last day, we decided to stay near the airport area and that's when we were able to have brunch here. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and in fact looks small. However, upon entering, this is a really big restaurant with several large booths. This is definitely a family oriented restaurant. The booth we were sat at could comfortably seat 8-people. The menu is a mix of Chinese, Filipino and Hawaii-style mixed plates. So much to choose from. Sister 1 got her usual lau lau and quietly finished her meal first. Sister 2 got steamed ginger fish that she enjoyed. And she was warned it would take 20-mins which she was fine with. Last sister and I shared a burger that was good but not as good as Kenji's, ramen that warmed our belly's, chives pancake that was just ok. And what helped us find Kauai Diner was the ube pancake. Not sure why and had experienced at other places, ube pancake was ok but the ube syrup was really good and 4-sister approved. The staff here are helpful and really nice. Prices fair and restaurant had a lot of natural lighting, plenty of large windows. If I lived here, this would be one of my favs. 5-stars for this experience.

It's a lil restaurant on the first floor of a motel? Also, check their hours and days bc they're at least closed on mondays and I think close at like 130 every day. Now what you see is their half-size portion of oxtail. I think I paid $25-30 after tax and tip. Something like that. But brah, even after a sunrise hike, my big back struggled to finish allll that. The taste was definitely solid. I will say I've had better oxtail soup in Oahu, even from Liliha. BUT no complaints, I'm glad I tried out tip top's! It was obviously a local favorite as the entire place was packed with straight up locals--don't think I saw one tourist in there.
