The ramen is pretty good. The fried chicken is great. Lightly battered and fried and flavorful and moist. Compared to next door, this feels lighter with less batter. But broth next door is definitely better. 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

One of the only ramen places we found with vegetarian (vegan) broths. I had the vegan tomato and my daughter had the vegan white + butter corn. They were both so delicious that we went back the next day before we left. The ramen was amazing and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Please fire that Filipina server. She's extremely rude and has attitude. We visited twice this week and she yelled at my ear one day if I want more water and just dropped two ramen bowls on the table the other day rather than serving the food to us. She doesn't understand what customer service is. Customer service is caring for customers and not about her "performance". Terrible Filipina server. フィリピナウエイトレスはお客さんに対して態度悪いよ本当に。 read more

Great place to grab a quick ramen. More than enough for one person or even two per serving. Service was ok. They wiped down tables, not very personable, just about getting your food and rotating tables. This is located in a food mall with many other Asian cuisines. Not much to say about ambience but cafeteria style seating and a dusty fake floral plant in the center of the table. read more

Aloha and welcome to my food journey in Hawaii! So glad to finally be back on my island home after twelve years away. I knew I had to check out the amazing food scene that's only gotten better throughout the years, and since I'm staying in Waikiki for a few days, I decided to take a stroll and see what I found. Enter Baikohken in the Asia Stix Food Hall right down the street from me. One thing I'll mention is that on a Wednesday night, there were a lot restaurants in the food hall that were closed, so our options were limited. I'd never tried spicy miso ramen before - I know, don't ask why - so I decided to try it here. There aren't many flavor options for their ramen, but that was okay. It forced me to get out of my comfort zone and try something new to me. I also ordered the seared chasu bowl and the fried chicken. SO ONO! It really felt like a welcome home to the island, and it was very tasty. I would love to go back again the next time I'm in Waikiki. read more

We had an exceptional time here. We thankfully came later and didn't have to wait, and had really quick service to order. They didn't have tons of meat options, but thankfully the pork was really flavorful and tender. We got the spicy miso broth and it was so amazing. Spicy enough to feel it, but not too spicy that you can't appreciate the flavor. The buttered corn really elevated it! Definitely some of the better ramen I've had! read more

I came here on a Saturday night and it was busy. There was a line but they took our order while we waited. We were seated at the oval table in the restaurant within 10-15 minutes. Service was fast and they refilled water when we requested it. My favorite is the shoyu ramen with corn and butter. The butter just adds a richer flavor to the broth, salty but so good! The gyoza was average but a nice accompaniment to the ramen. My toddler boys loved the ramen. A good option if you're in Waikiki. Happy eating! read more

Second time here and food is consistently good. Broth for both ramen were spot on and full of flavor. And take a look at the bamboo shoots. You will not find anyplace on island that serves them this big. And the chasiu is full of flavor as well. Other places just have them unseasoned but not here. So ono. And without saying a word, they credited us the Kamaaina discount. Awesome way of welcoming us back for today's visit and guaranteeing we will come back another day. read more

Baikohken - Spicy garlic butter corn - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

3.5 but rounded up to 4 for customer service and ambiance. This restaurant is located in Stix Asia in Waikiki in the Noodle Street section towards the back. We went around 5pm on a Thursday and only two tables taken so we were seated immediately. They have around 10 ramen dishes, a couple rice bowls and a few pupu's. We both like spicy and they only have one spice option so we each got a spicy miso and an order of gyoza.....or so we thought. There was one waiter in charge of the whole dining area and his English was not so good. One spicy ramen came out in less than 5 minutes and I thought it was weird that he put it between us. After getting our gyoza and waiting quite a long time for a second ramen I realized that he didn't understand we wanted two bowls. We flagged him down and asked him and he was not tracking 2 bowls so he apologized and put in the order for the second bowl. That's why he set it between us. He thought we were sharing. No big deal because I knew it would come out fast. Pros: Broth - nice and creamy, great pork flavor and smooth. Noodles - medium firm, chewy, with a nice bite. Pork - really good flavor and you get around 2 thin pieces. Egg (half) - mine was very small but the boyfriends was normal size and we agreed they were good. Spice - good spice level but not too spicy. Cons: Flavored bamboo shoots - no flavor and hard to bite through so had to eat the whole thing but they were thick and on the big side. Mushroom (?) - chewy but zero flavor Bean sprouts - what can you say? We also thought the gyoza had a good flavor and at 6 and half bucks, can't beat it. They do offer a kama'aina rate but I didn't catch the amount because of the language barrier. I think it was around 15% which is always nice. They also charge a 4% fee for the kitchen staff. They don't hide it and it is on a laminated paper on the walls around the restaurant so everyone is aware. Even with thr language barrier service was good and he was very attentive. I live in Mililani so I would not make the trip down to Waikiki just for that but if I'm in the area it's a nice option. read more

The waitress was delightful and sat us then brought the food out quickly. Orders the spicy ramen and it was just right. Could've used more meat or noodles for the price but the taste was on point. Bamboo and half an egg were delicious but not a whole lot unless you apart for extra. The kids devoured their miso ramen and I had some of their leftover and it was really good. Kids really loved this place and they offered a local discount which was great. There was a decorative tree that blocked the table view and was dusty as hell. Might've been what attracted gnats. Place appeared clean tho. Definitely recommend read more

Baikohken - Spicy miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Baikohken is back on Oahu, at the very same spot, but under a different food hall name! The former Waikiki Yokocho inside the Waikiki Shopping Plaza is now Stix Asia. On my last review three years ago, I mentioned that Baikohken was one of three of my favorite ramen spots on Oahu. Now, I'm down to one favorite ramen spot, and it's not this place. I decided to try this place again to see if the ramen improved from the Yokocho days. I ordered the miso ramen, and my husband ordered the shio ramen with butter and corn. My husband's broth was pretty good, but a friend and I both agreed our miso broth was a bit salty. I probably should've followed my old review and ordered shoyu ramen. Overall, ramen quality and the restaurant's look and feel were about the same, but prices increased a bit. This was probably because of inflation, and the passing of three years since Baikohken was last open. Similar to the Yokocho days, Baikohken charges a 4% kitchen surcharge to your bill. Fortunately, the restaurant accepts 11% tips. I'm glad my husband, our friends, and I came shortly before the dinner rush. We waited a few minutes for a table, but by the time we were pau with our meal and left Baikohken, the line of customers waiting to be seated grew so much! Warning: No establishment inside Stix Asia validates Waikiki Shopping Plaza parking! Parking costs $3 every 30 minutes after 4:30 PM (no more Yokocho evening flat rate for now), so plan your stay accordingly. Good ramen, but "Michelin Star" good? I'll reconsider. Stix Asia has an udon restaurant very similar to Marugame, and another ramen restaurant that hasn't opened yet. I'm looking forward to those spots! Yet with the parking rate and lack of validation, I think I'll hold off another few weeks or months until we return. read more

My first time back In the Waikiki Yokocho, which is now renamed Asia Stix? Don't like the name but I get the gist, it's not predominantly Japanese anymore as there are Chinese and Taiwanese and Korean businesses in this area. Baikohken ramen was delicious! Service was great. Waited maybe 10 minutes for a table but the service goes fast. Got the Large Shio Ramen which was very delicious, also added an egg, butter and corn (a Hokkaido thing). Also got the fried chicken which was pretty good. I forgot to take pic of the gyoza (dumpling) and that was great too. Overall, my ramen was very delicious. For a nonspicy Ramen, it was great! Probably one of the best. Will come back again. Will try the spicy ramen next lol. Oh make sure you don't park at the Royal Hawaiian or Sheraton, the Asia Stix alley has their own parking lot. Good eating. read more

This place seems underrated based on the reviews on here. This is a small joint inside of STX Asia. We stopped in only for a small bite but can't wait to come back for some ramen! We tried the gyoza and it was great! We also tried a small bowl of (can't remember the name) pork and rice with some sauces on top and it was incredible! They also sell sake so don't waste your money on the bar outside, as the prices are better here! Cool vibe with the communal table in the middle. read more

The miso ramen at this restaurant is very tasty! It is wonderful to be able to eat ramen from a ramen shop representing Asahikawa, Hokkaido in Hawaii! The taste is unquestionably delicious: ‼ The best part is that kamaaina discount available! The service from the waitstaff is excellent, and the restaurant is full of cleanliness and comfort. It is especially crowded on weekends, but you still want to stand in line for a bowl of ramen from this restaurant. 日本のラーメン最高 read more

Located inside Stix foodhall Not Michelin and actually has many chain Like in Vietnam and Thailand Ramen is Hokkaido style so expect the salt ramen to taste salty. But why get the salt ramen you ask? Salt is a flavor enhancer, so it gives a umami aftertaste. Broth base is fish, pork and chicken. Expect a rich collagen broth. Chashu is marbled overall rather than the pork belly we get within the states. Where the fat is mostly from the belly. Bamboo are cut thicker, but was made too soft for my taste. A bit underwhelming since I favor the crunch. read more

This place is tucked away in the new foodie area of the Waikiki shopping center. This place use to be sketchy when it had the fast food restaurants. It's a big remodel with a vibe on Asian food. Baikohken was one of the ramen places in this location with about 10 other stalls. We decided to try this place b/c it looked good. We ordered the spicy ramen and gyoza. It was a intimate space with only a few tables. We shared a table with about 6 other people. It was fine since it was a very big table with a Bonzai tree providing a barrier and privacy. The service was great. They were very attentive. The ramen was good and consistent to what I had in other establishments. The price was also on par with other places. If you are a Kama Alina, you can get the discount which will make it worth it. If not, its still good if your in the area of the Waikiki Shopping Center. Spicy Miso read more

Got to try this place out during their grand opening at stix and I'm so glad I did! I usually don't get the soya type ramens because I don't like the flavor in particular and tastes more like watered down soy sauce in my opinion. But bc there was a 50% promo for the butter and corn soy sauce ramen, and we were craving noodles, we decided to try it. I was delightfully surprised that the butter and corn soy sauce ramen was delicious, flavorful and rich. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a good texture. The chasu was tender. Everything was great. The person helping me w my order didn't speak a lot of English but he was so so kind and appreciated him to help me w everything I needed. Great experience here. read more

At the Stix Asia food hall, we decided to dine here for dinner. I picked this place because it hails from Japan. The eatery has a large communal table and several smaller tables.

Overall, it was an average bowl. read more

Food 3.5/5: Spicy miso ramen: Was good but I feel like you kind of get sick of it after the first 3/4 bites. Also there was only one piece on meat on it. The bamboo shoots didn't have much flavor, maybe because of how large the cuts were. The egg was cooked to perfection. Special Shoyu Ramen: Flavor was good with a light broth but unfortunately it was a bit salty. Needed to drink quite a lot of water with it. Noodles were chewy and they gave a good amount of meat with this one. Same thing about the egg/bamboo shoots ^^. Service 4/5: Quick seating, took our orders quick, they filled our water without us asking, food came out within 10 minutes. Ambiance 5/5: This place is in a underground area with lots of other Asian cuisine. Nice place for some drinks and chill with friends/family. read more

This new food Hall was exciting to visit again since they reopened. The ramen is good. The corn and butter is as close to Hokkaido ramen as I've got in Hawaii. They didn't have any drinks available despite the menu listing. (Soft drinks. They had beer.) The croquette was like something from 7-11. It was not good at all. But I'd return for the ramen! read more

This is the second timing eating at Baikohken at Waikiki's Stix. During the lunch period, the restaurant did not fill up with customers, but there are many other restaurants to choose from. I ordered the shoyu ramen with butter and lots of corn. I liked the taste of the broth. The big wad of butter (pictured) really helped the taste of the broth. The menma was cut thick versus the thin slices that are usually served in ramen at other ramen restaurants. Get ready for lots of corn. I loved it. The noodles were boiled just enough. The pork slices were tasty. They were very generous with the three slices. The male that greeted and served us was okay. There were not many customers during the lunch hour. Would I return? Probably not. I was expecting the high price of $18.48 because they are located in Waikiki. However, for that price, I was really expecting a better WOW, when I ate it. Forgot to mention the gyoza. It was okay. Nothing special at all. read more

Came back here again and the food is just as good! Ramen is very flavorful and the service was quick and friendly. We came around 12:30 and there was a line outside, the server took our orders while we stood in line so by the time we were seated, it didn't take long for our food to come out! Noodles have a good chew, the bamboo this time had less flavor than I remember but still good. The chashu rice bowl was alright, a lot smaller than I expected.

3.5 Stars The food hall that was Yokocho is now Stix Asia.  We remember all the good eats that were here before the pandemic and so glad it's open again. This time we got to try Baikohken Ramen. I was actually bamboozled by the wall of the Map of Japan with regions of different ramen thinking that is their menu.  ha!  Hubby and I both got the miso char su pork ramen with added corn and bamboo.  Have to admit the broth was only lukewarm.  The ramen was a bit bouncy and chewy which I like, but the broth was not strong in flavoring. Our friends who do not eat pork opt for the veggie ramen and had to keeping adding the togarashi for taste. We did enjoyed the chicken karaage and the potato croquette a lot. Seems like the appetizers were better than the star of show which should had been the ramen.  Overall we had an okay dinner here. It's great we can walk to Stix Asia from our hotel with many food options. The ramen joint itself is small and there was a bit of wait during dinner hour. read more

The Waikiki Yokocho is honestly a godsend in Waikiki. All the food is so expensive, but I'd rather pay for good Japanese food than anything else. We decided on Baikohken, out of the 4 ramen places in Yokocho, mainly because it was Hokkaido-style. We both had the miso ramen with egg, and a beer to share. The broth and noodles were great. I also enjoyed the thick cut menma. My only gripe is that the egg was overcooked; it wasn't perfectly soft boiled. Be careful when you tip, because they already include 15% gratuity for Japanese tourists who are not used to tipping. read more
