Gyoza (4.5/5): Skin had a great texture and the inside was juicy. Zangi (Fried Chicken) (4/5): Tender chicken. Would taste a bit better with a mayo or aioli sauce. Spicy Miso Ramen (3.5/5): I understand that spicy ramens are typically $1 or $2 more than non-spicy ramen, but the $4 price difference between this or a shio/shoyu makes no sense. The noodles were cooked perfectly, but the broth just tasted like chili. I think it makes more sense to order a shio/shoyu and just use the chili oil that's provided at the table, as there isn't extra noodle or meat compared to the regular ramens. Also, I don't think the bamboo shoots were marinated at all, as it tasted like unseasoned gelatin. I would suggest marinating the bamboo shoots separately and cutting them into much thinner slices. The decor of this place is quite unique as there is a massive table in the middle with an imitation tree that's done tastefully. Also, the side tables have wooden engravings under the glass that looked cool. Service was standard and friendly. read more

Stopped by here on a whim. It's rhetorical miso ramen special, $15. The broth was a bit on the salty side. The service was fast, but there wasn't much on here. One slice of char siu, no egg just a couple bamboo shoots and some greasy broth. I finished half and opted to not do the rest. I prob would skip next time. Seating is very limited. They had a lot of single seating so we sat side by side. read more

We ate here for dinner because we couldn't decide on a spot. We had their spicy miso ramen which literally only had 1 slither of the chashu and I got the spicy chashu which came with 6 or 7 slithers of the chashu so I just shared with my friends. Broth was good but not creamy as how I'd like it to be and noodles were okay. There was really no wow factor for me and the egg was over boiled. Service was fast, staff wasn't too welcoming. I really loved the wood carved tables though it was so pretty. read more

Baikohken was on my list of ramen shops to try on my last trip to Hokkaido earlier this year. Unfortunately I was unable to make it so I've been wanting to try the local shop here for a while now. I don't wander into Waikiki too often though. As the case with many of the other shops in Stix Waikiki, Baikohken does offer a 15% kama'aina discount, which was much appreciated and played a big factor in my decision to eat there. They also offer lunch specials, highlighting four of their ramens: shoyu ramen, miso ramen, shio ramen, and spicy miso ramen at discounted rates. I love a deal on top of another deal, so of course I had to order one of the lunch specials with the kama'aina discount. I tried the spicy miso ramen, and boy, was I disappointed. Appearance-wise, it looked pretty good. It had chashu, fat pieces of bamboo shoots, beansprouts, green onion, half an egg, and I believe wood ear fungus on top. Unfortunately, the entire bowl tasted like I was eating shin ramyun. You know, the korean spicy noodles. I enjoy Shin-Ramyun, so nothing against that but definitely not what I was expecting. I think Shin-Ramyun has more flavor than this bowl of ramen. Highly disappointed. I'm even more disappointed that I didn't get to try them in Hokkaido, because now that I've had this, I don't think I'm going to want to, even though part of me knows it's better there. Needless to say, I ate about half my bowl (I was so hungry when I went in).. Noodles are my weakness. I usually eat more than I should, so being able to stop after half means a lot. The soup, noodles, chashu, egg...it was all pretty disappointing. read more

This place is located in Stix Asia food hall with lots of Japanese places to choose from. I ordered the Shoyu Special Ramen and Gyozas. Both items were good; however there wasn't anything majorly special to them. I thought the shoyu ramen was pretty light as the soup was more on the water side but still good. Service was a bit slow but there were a lot of people and not enough staff working. Overall, decent place for ramen. read more

This ramen spot at the noodle street was buzzing with lot of people so wanted to swing over and try it out. I got to-go and took it to my hotel and it was nicely packed and was ready to be eaten. I was excited to eat it and let me tell you it was not good at all. The flavor of the ramen just wasn't anything special it was very bland and felt very basic, the meat was not very tender and juicy. Overall the experience of the ramen was just not that great. read more

(3.5*) Located in the Stix mall, plenty of options around but it seems this place had a long line so wanted to give it a try. Waited about 40 mins at 8pm before seated and service was fairly quickly after getting our table. Got the spicy special ramen which was packing in spice. The broth was pretty flavorful to where it was actually quite salty but you could taste the richness especially since they add a knob of butter on top of the corn which probably contributed to high salt levels. They also don't skimp when it comes to chasu, tender fatty and a nice size cut as well. read more

Hubs wanted to give this place a try. Arrived at around 8pm and we were seated right away. Hubs went with the Spicy Waikiki and I ordered the Butter and Corn Miso and added an egg. Pros - I liked the jammy egg, the miso broth tasted creamy, and the ramen texture was good. Hubs liked the charsiu. However, the flavors, overall, were too subtle. With everything in the bowl - meat, bamboo, beansprouts, egg, . . . - I expected more flavor that, unfortunately, just wasn't there. read more

** 3.5 ** In the past, I'd always see long lines here. Needed to try it out. Came here for the 1st time back in September 2023. Then again last summer 2024. Again last night. One of my go to toppings is their butter & corn nex to the soft boiled egg. I tried their original miso broth and it was packed with flavor. Not your typical Japanese miso soup broth either. The noodles were nice and tender, along with the bean spots and slice of pork. They garnish with some spring onion whites and thick chunks of bamboo shoots. There was no wait when we arrived, just another party at the tree table, with a gradual flow coming in during our time there. The bowls came out fairly quick. The soup could have been a bit hotter. I always like it piping hot. Overall, a nice cool (very clean) place to grab some noodles and cool down from the humid temps in Waikiki. read more

Baikohken - Miso Ramen add corn + butter, soft boiled egg - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food: SPECIAL SHOYU RAMEN (topping with chasu pork sokedovernight, mixed w/ soy sauce and their original 'double soup' to deepen the flavor) - way too salty but at the same time tasty. The chasu is so flavorful and soft in every bite. Noodle is cooked just right. Broth has a rich flavor yet too salty for my palate. ZANGI - basically it's like karaage. It was so good. Fried to perfection, nice crunch from the outside but juicy from the inside. GYOZA (beef & vegetable dumplings pan seared with sesame oil) - was cooked perfectly and the fillings are seasoned well, savory tasty. But again, they charged us kitchen service for 4%. And yet here we are again, still tip them. Double kill for my pocket. Like, bruuuh, I think the owner should be the one paying for their kitchen cook right? Tsssk... Overall t'was good. Ramen is cheaper compared to next door and the ambiance is pretty comfy. It was clean and the staffs are nice. Abby, our server was so kind and friendly and making sure that we are taken care off. Love her work ethics. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow Yeeps. read more

Decided to play this Ramen place yesterday. It's located in a food hall in the basement along with other noodle restaurants. I am usually pretty skeptical about Ramen places, but wanted to give this place a try. I ordered the shield Ramen and it was actually really good. The broth was just salty enough and the noodles were perfectly cooked. My only critique is that I wished that the Chau was a good balance between the fat and the meat. It was a little bit too salty and lean for my taste. But I would recommend this place if you are looking for a good Ramen place in Waikiki. read more

This place was hidden amongst all the others. it's definitely a beautiful place with a nice ambiance. i got the butter corn miso with the spicy chicken. the spicy chicken was definitely spicy, i enjoyed it over the ramen. the ramen broth was good on itself, maybe a little heavy but it all came together. i didn't really like the noodles in full honesty. they were soggy and clumped together. it just tasted like starch. i asked for extra scallions, was charged for it and didnt get it which wasn't a whole big deal but still disappointing. it was quite expensive which is given being that it's in waikīkī. read more

Baikohken - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Baikohken is located in Stix Asia Food Hall/Waikiki Shopping Plaza. We were overwhelmed by the number of food stalls and restaurants and ended up trying Baikohken's ramen. Everyone at our party ordered their Shoyu ramen. We enjoyed it but noticed that it was not as flavorful as the ramen we had before. Their staff was amiable, though. They were pleasant and very accommodating, especially since we were a big party (party of 8). The restaurant is a bit small since it is located in a food hall, but don't let that stop you from eating here. Their staff will make sure you will be seated no matter how big or small your party is. read more

We came here for a late night dinner around 9 PM and ordered the shoyu and shio ramen. The texture of the noodles was perfectly done and came out slightly al dente however, the broth was extremely salty, and the pork was even more salty. It was difficult to eat without gulping down a lot of water. If you're looking for a quick and easy eat I don't think that this is a bad option, but there are definitely better Japanese Ramen spots on the island. The service was friendly and the ambience reminded me of my time in Japan. read more

Planned a quick trip out to HNL and remember seeing a new food hall in Waikiki. Baikohken was a quick 5 min walk from our hotel and opted to dine here for dinner. Started off with karaage which was fried perfectly to a golden brown. It came straight out of the fryer so it was hella hot but flavorful. Only used a bit of the chili pepper to add a bit of spice but it was well marinated. I opted for the spicy miso ramen which was tasty. Only complaint was that I would've preferred my noodles cooked a bit less as I prefer a firmer texture. My wife ordered ginger miso ramen which she enjoyed though I thought the broth was a bit light for my taste buds. Overall a decent ramen shop that's walking distance from all of the bigger hotels in Waikiki. read more

I love my ramen and will even travel to Waikiki to try something new. Usually locals don't eat in Waikiki but you gotta try this place. It downstairs of Waikiki Shopping Plaza. I parked at the Waikiki Market place and walked over, cheaper parking and you can get it validated if you buy something there. Like dessert. The ramen dashi was tasty and the noodles like Japan. I mean hard to beat Japan but dang close! We learned that the cook is from Japan. One of the best part is they give Kamaaina discount. We got there when they first opened so we got seated fast. If you love ramen you gotta try this place!! read more

A small shop located in the Asia Stix food court. Came for lunch and was seated quickly, but during peak hours (dinner, weekends, etc) there can be a considerable wait + line down the hall. The portion is slightly smaller than other ramen shops, but I personally found it to be the perfect amount. I ordered the shoyu bowl with two slices of chasu and added on the egg and butter corn. If you want a bigger meat portion, you can easily add on extra meat which is what my partner did. It got a little salty towards the end of my bowl, but honestly my tastebuds tend to be more sensitive towards saltiness. If you consume a lot of salty food it will probably taste perfect for you. Overall service was very quick, and was a nice lunch break before returning to the beach. read more

I came here around lunch time. I got the shio ramen and the chicken karage. I wasn't particularly blown away by anything. It just tasted like a normal bowl of ramen, and customer service was normal.

Located in the new Asia Stix Food Hall (formerly known as Waikiki Yokosho), Baikohken serves Hokkaido Ramen which is famous for its thick miso ramen. So you know we had to try it. The inside of the restaurant is not too big, with bar seating, some tables and a central table surrounding a small decorative tree. We decided to try this place because we had Hokkaido Miso Ramen a few months back at a ramen festival at home and was craving for an authentic Miso Ramen. It was quite decent, a rich heavy broth with the largest bamboo shoots I've ever eaten in a ramen, mushrooms, chasu and an egg. The toppints were just alright and pretty standard besides the size of the bamboo shoots. I thought the Ramen was pretty good, but not amazing. It scratched our cravings though and will keep us satisfied until we actually visit Hokkaido to try it there! I'm mostly happy they finally reopened this area and will be visiting again on our next visit to Honolulu. read more

[Food] - Miso Ramen ($16.48): Not the best I've had, but still decent. Although I know this isn't instant, it sort of tasted like it. It didn't have that depth of flavor that ramen usually has. Soup was a bit salty. Meat was on the dry side and lacked that slight fatty component to it. - Gyoza ($6.99): My friend and I thought the gyoza tasted a lot better than their ramen so was a bit sad there were only 5 pieces. [Service] - Fast, helpful, friendly [Ambiance] - Decent sized casual ramen restaurant - No wait on a Thursday at 7:30pm. [Overall] - I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the food fell short my first time here. Maybe I came during an off day but I'm willing to give this place another try next time I'm back though. read more

Delicious ramen from Japan in Waikiki! Baikohken has amazing gyoza that tastes handmade and isn't too oily. I tried stix Asia's anniversary miso ramen and the broth was very tasty but not salty!

Baikohken - Miso Ramen + Gyoza - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I decided to try out one of the places that were in Stix Food Hall, and came across this place stating that they were featured in the Michelin guide. I got their spicy miso and it was pretty good. It wasn't that spicy and it has a nice flavor. The noodles were chewy and bouncy, and the pork was tender. My parents wanted to try out ramen as this was their first time. They got the shoyu ramen and miso ramen, and they both said the broth was way too salty for them. They did like the spicy miso ramen, but they also said that was salty as well. Their first time unfortunately didn't exceed to their expectations. I also got their zangi (fried chicken) paired with lemon and it was just okay. Out of the three ramens we've tried, I did like their spicy miso ramen the best. read more

Great place to grab a quick ramen. More than enough for one person or even two per serving. Service was ok.

Not much to say about ambience but cafeteria style seating and a dusty fake floral plant in the center of the table. read more

This is another place I tried inside the the STIX food hall in Waikiki. I had no issues with the Service and the food hall itself is nice which continues on to Baikohken itself. My overall impression was that it was just "Okay" and not a bad place to go if you want some Ramen quickly. We ordered: 1.) Miso Ramen (Baikohken Original Broth) 2.) Shio Ramen (Mild Salt Flavor) 3.) Zangi (Hokkaido Style Deep Fried Chicken) Surprisingly, the Miso Ramen was my least favorite Ramen dish I ordered. I'm usually a big fan of Miso-based soups but found the flavor to be lacking and didn't really enjoy the broth. The rest of the ingredients inside were fine but nothing really stood out. The Shio Ramen was actually pretty good and enjoyed the light broth taste. It was just the right amount of saltiness and appreciated that the "meat" taste of the broth was also noticeable. On initial look, I was worried it would be bland like the Miso Ramen but it turned out quite well. I can recommend this one. Zangi is sort of like Karaage in my opinion. It was fried well and the chicken inside was tender but I do miss the mayonnaise sauce that usually accompanies Karaage at other Ramen places. I think they could add the sauce as well as it would greatly enhance the dish and complement the Zangi. Some notes: 1.) Their add-on's for the Ramen dish are expensive in my opinion. They are all around ~$3 so your bill can add up quickly if you decide to add multiple items (i.e. Soft-Boiled Egg, Bamboo Shoots). I usually always add the egg to my Ramen dish so each order came out close to ~$20 a bowl. 2.) The restaurant is pretty transparent and has signs on the walls that it will add a 4% Kitchen Service Charge to the bill. They reduce the suggested tip by 4% as well to compensate for this and will remove the 4% charge from the bill if you ask them. Since this is technically "optional" and there is no trickery in how they do this, this is just more of an FYI than anything. read more
