Kamitoku has moved from the now demolished Ward Centre to just across Auahi Street in the South Shore Market. They recently added lunch hours and I decided to order takeaway via the Clover app. Got the Beefy Marina which is a gyukotsu ( beef-bone broth ) ramen served with thin noodles. The marina has a lighter broth and with October still scorching like Summertime...it is a proper choice. Nice portion of beef on top. Lunch is from 1100a to 230p daily. Sunday thru Thursday, dinner is served from 500p till 900p; while Friday and Saturday dinner is from 500p to 930p. read more

This was our first time trying Kamitoku Ramen's new location at South Shore Market, and we had a pleasant experience! I got the beefy wild ramen, and my boyfriend and I shared the beef deep fried gyoza. The ramen was delicious! It was such a comforting bowl with tender beef, a nice boiled egg, and tasty toppings in a creamy, flavorful broth. I enjoyed the broth so much that I think I ended up finishing the whole thing lol. The gyoza was ok, but nothing too special compared to the ramen. The restaurant itself is pretty spacious, and the service was efficient. Overall, Kamitoku is a great spot to get your ramen fix! read more

New spot at South Shore Marketplace! This place took over the old Scratch Kitchen location, and there's plenty of free parking, so already off to a good start Giving 4 stars for the food because that creamy broth in the Beefy Wild is SO good. I could honestly eat this once a week and not get tired of it. BUT... the service wasn't the best during our visit. Our waters were never refilled unless we asked, and no one really came by to check on us the entire time we were eating. The servers/staff also didn't really greet us or say bye/thank you when we left. Not the worst experience, but definitely a little "order food, eat food, disappear into the night" type of dining experience. Hopefully the service was just an off day. read more

You've been there, but you haven't been here. After relocating across the street to South Shore Market, Kamitoku is in their soft opening phase with an open air kitchen and revised menu. This brand originated in Tottori Prefecture and is known for its distinctive beef bone broth ramen. Currently they are offering three versions to choose from: Gold, a lighter clear broth, the original Beefy Wild, and Seabura, rich with creamy beef fat and thicker noodles. The chew of the thick noodles is so satisfying and the sliced beef char siu has been replaced with shredded beef. New is an Oxtail Soup in the same beef bone broth and a Otoko Meshi garlic butter rice you can get with crispy ribeye bites, ribeye katsu, and shredded beef char siu. Fast, filling, and tasty. In a sea of pork ramen, Kamitoku wants to convince you beef is king. read more

Every year on my visit to Hawaii I come here for ramen. I'm so glad they're still in business and relieved that they had only relocated and not closed. Food and flavor are spot on and service always friendly. Thank you KAMITOKU for delivering a delightful experience read more

Kamitoku ramen - Beefy Wild and ginger cold tofu lunch - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Kamitoku reopened their restaurant from ward center to south shore market across the street. Really happy that they are open since I've been a fan since their days in shirokiya and when they had a foodtruck at UH Manoa. Menu has been revamped as they are exploring new concepts. They their own take on the oxtail soup and they have garlic rice plate dishes as well. I came in for the usual ramen during thei soft opening. They used to have a wide variety of ramen flavors but now reduced to 3 ramen flavors. I used to be big fan of the spicy which I'll miss but seabura and the beefy wild is good. I ended up getting the beefy wild. The taste a d presentation of the ramen has changed too. The ramen noodles if I remember correctly were a little thicker but I dont know if its been a while but it does feel thinner which i do actually prefer it that way. They removed some toppings, notably bean sprouts from the ramen. Not really fan of bean sprouts so not a big change I'll miss. The beef char siu was still flavorful as ever, but instead of it being a big chunk of meat it was presented shredded in the ramen. Service was fast and attentive and gad an overall good time. Would come again to try their other stuff on the menu. It was a soft opening, but I hope they add more ramen flavors variety like the spicy ramen, and bring back the way they used to have their char siu as I preferred to take a big bite out of the juicy beef in my bowl. read more

Happy to hear that Kamitoku Ramen from Ward Centre relocated to South Shore Market (previously occupied by Scratch Kitchen). They are currently exploring a new concept, which is a bit different from what it used to be. There's quite a bit of items missing from their old menu, but they have included new dishes to try. I got their Beefy Gold which has a lighter broth. I also ordered a side of yuzu peel & juice, reminiscent of the yuzu shio ramen. I'd say that the broth is pretty good (light broth is gentle to the stomach), and the noodles were cooked well. You'll probably miss the fatty chunk of charsiu, but they now have pulled beef charsiu instead which is stringy and just as flavorful :) Service was friendly as always and they were very attentive to our needs. Ambiance is a bit more upscale than their previous Ward location, and definitely larger. Will come back again to try their Otoko-Meshi items, overall just glad that they're back! read more

Glad Kamitoku made it out of Ward Centre and is now just a hop, skip, and jump away at the South Shore Marketplace. The spot is definitely bigger, but doesn't lose its cozy vibe. We got the mainstay Beefy Wild. Rich, and creamy beef ramen that we know and love. And the Wagyu Ribeye Katsu Box. Crispy beef katsu on a bed of garlic butter rice. Food was great, but the service on the other hand was a just a tad bit rough. No water top ups, and quite a wait to get the bill. Staff was very nice though. I'm going to chalk it up to growing pains for the new spot. Definitely not stopping me from coming back by any stretch. read more

Kamitoku Ramen will be closing soon this month on 6/21/26 because the Ward Centre will be demolished to make way for more condos. I thought it would be just Ward Warehouse but now Ward Centre. Now I'm wondering about the Ward Theatre area. Some have found new locations but I'm not too sure about Kamitoku Ramen. I remembered they were selling from their food truck and one time offered their ramen for $5? When they opened their restaurant at Ward Centre, a bunch of us got in for the $8 ramen with a can of soda. They are always busy so I did order take out one time. I was more interested in the appetizers! Crispy beef gyoza, taro tempura and even garlic tempura. They have tofu prepared in different ways. I still haven't tried their Beefy King ramen with all the items on top! I did try their beefy seabura. I want to try here again especially the appetizers before they close this month. read more

Kamitoku just reopened at Ward Center and they still have some kinks to work through... like their phone number doesn't work. I tried to place a phone order for pickup but no bueno. On to the good tho! Space is large so it sits more people. Ramen is just as good as ever. It's one of my favorite ramen spots and has a big piece of my heart. They do use a beef base though so if you don't eat beef, I'm sorry for your loss. Ramen menu is simplified so it does make it easier to order with the base and then the add-ins. My only small quip is that the meat changed from the last location from a chunk to shreds and I'm not really feeling the shreds Regardless it's still one of my favorite spots and I enjoy going back every time! read more

Kamitoku ramen - Cucumbers - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This has been one of our favorite places to grab a pre-movie night bite at Ward for years. I was so sad to hear that the classic mall where this cozy joint is located at was being demolished in the name of progress, knowing that this place would be gone. Anticipating that they would be closing in a couple of weeks, we made sure to stop by this weekend to get our fix in. I was so eager to dig into my bowl that I ended up forgetting to snap a picture until after I'd already whacked away at it. Luckily, our server tonight told us that there's a good chance that they will be re-opening nearby in the old Scratch Kitchen location, so hopefully we can continue to enjoy this place in a different setting. My go to has always been their Beefy Wild Ramen. If I'm really hungry I'll opt for their Beefy Wild Beast when I want a pile of their awesome cha siu. My girlfriend likes both the Yuzu and Seabura. We both really enjoy their regular and spicy gyoza. There's always a short wait to get into this place, but it's worth it. Service is quick and efficient, and the food is excellent. I hope to see this place again soon, in a new location. read more

Since trying this place I am a total stickler when it comes to Ramen now. This has probably been our fifth or seventh time to Kamitoku & no other bowl of ramen can compare. My husband & I make it an effort to try out some of their other dishes with our ramen each time we go. But the Namban chicken is my all time favorite unfortunately they didn't have any when we came in yesterday after an hour of opening so if they have it def try it! My husband tried the fried rice lunch combo with his usual Spicy Ramen. It was delicious! I always get their Seabura (side note: I miss having bean sprouts in the ramen but they've discontinued it after our third visit) it's still delicious but I love the crunch it gives when it was inside. The broth is rich & creamy. I would like to try their other Ramens but the saying that goes "If it's ain't broke, don't fix it" is motto I follow when it comes to visiting our favorite places for specific dishes and cravings - this is one of those. The servers are so nice every-time we go & check in frequently while we're dinning in. Food comes out hot & pretty quickly every time - We love coming here! read more

A group of friends + kids came here to Kamitoku Ramen for lunch after our play date at Ward Center. The restaurant space is small overall but they were able to accommodate our group of 13. Menu is pretty straightforward & easy to order from quickly. I ordered the Beefy Wild ramen ($17) which was super delicious. The beef was tasty and tender, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The kids set ($11) was also available which we ordered. It had chicken karaage, fries and a small plain ramen. Food came out pretty quickly & the service was fast and friendly. As usual, lots of free parking up in the structure (for now). read more

Kamitoku ramen - Beefy Wild - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'd say, welcome to my current favorite ramen place in Oahu. Not only the price is right but the authentic Japanese flavor of their ramen really takes me back to my Japan trip last year. I always had a great time dining here with some friends and family. Service was fast and their menu is not that extensive keeping me sane every time I order, lol. Keep in mind that this location only has few chairs to dine and it fills up pretty fast. Make sure to come earlier for your convenience. Here's what I've tried from them: - my favorite; no further explanation just ORDER THIS NOW - broth is shoyu light, way too light for me but still savory - savory and tasty - harmonious blend of crispiness and tangy sweet vinegar - perfectly made; perfect topping/side when eating ramen - ponzu on it makes everything this side dish really good - intensely flavored; so rich that it needs rice to absorb the oil on it - fried to perfection; meat not dry at all - savory and addicting; flavor blends perfectly - so good and perfect ending for your meal - intriguing yet I'm impressed; would order this again Overall the experience was exquisitely good. Love the food, love the interior and the vibe feels like I'm in Osaka ramen place. Will surely be back for the nth times. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow Yeeps. read more

First time going to their new location at Ward. The menu has considerably removed many items with just a few ramen options compared to before. They also changed the recipe for the worse. Not as creamy as it was and now using shredded beef instead of the generous whole portions of beef...the fatty part of the beef added to the flavor. Now it's just dry shredded beef like you would get in a burrito. Ordered the Seabara and didn't even have the back fat which it's known for. The vibe is totally off too. Gone are the Japanese posters, decorations and jpop playing in the background. And also noticed not one Japanese national working there...makes me think new owners?? Sadly another once great restaurant that has become crap. Also bad idea on moving there...the former Scratch Kitchen that closed down twice...some unlucky vibes there. Won't be surprised if they close down soon too. read more

TL;DR Seabura Ramen = ONO (!!!) Damn good ramen. ----- My out-of-town friend and his family were visiting O'ahu and invited me to lunch. They decided on Kamitoku Ramen after catching a movie nearby. Unfortunately, I had ramen for lunch the day before, but I sucked it up and joined them so I could catch up with my friend. And I'm so glad I did, because Kamitoku Ramen is fantastic! I ordered the Seabura ramen, which has officially taken the throne as my favorite bowl of ramen on the island. It was so damn good! The beef-based broth is incredibly creamy and absolutely packed with umami. The noodles were the perfect balance of chewy and springy, and the toppings were awesome. I was especially a fan of the beef char siu and the beef fat bites. The whole dish was just a banger. The broth was unbelievably good. I finished the entire bowl, because I couldn't let that liquid gold to to waste. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu, including their gyoza and rice bowls. But I don't anticipate deviating from the Seabura ramen. It was too good not to order again. Go check it out! read more

I heard they were relocating after I visited so I'm happy I went! read more

Despite some bumps in the road over the years, I'll be counting the days till Kamitoku finds another place here in Hawaii. The Beefy Wild is my favorite Ramen in Hawaii. Its unique beef broth is unlike anything anywhere else. I had to come for lunch today to get a belly full before it closes tomorrow. Best of luck, please keep your fans in the loop on your rebirth!

Kamitoku ramen - Beefy Wild - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have been coming here for several years and really enjoyed the old location. I have also brought and referred numerous friends and family members over the years. Today was my first visit to the new location, and unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. Before coming in, I tried to place a phone order so I could have my takeout ready when I arrived. I searched multiple websites but could not find a phone number. I assumed the number simply hadn't been updated after the move. When I arrived, I asked an employee for the phone number so I could call in future takeout orders. I was told that the restaurant does not have a phone number. I then asked how customers are supposed to place takeout orders ahead of time. The employee told me to use Uber Eats and specifically said that pickup orders could be placed through the app without the higher pricing/fees associated with delivery. While waiting for my food, I went into the Uber Eats app and discovered that there was no pickup option available--only delivery. I showed the employee what I was seeing and asked whether he could speak with management about enabling a pickup option, since I was simply trying to find a convenient way to order ahead in the future. Instead of helping resolve the issue, he dismissed me and told me to download DoorDash. When my food was ready, he then told me that he "didn't like my attitude" and "don't come back." I asked to speak with a manager. He told me, "I am the manager. Just take your food and leave." When I asked for his name, he refused to provide it. To make matters worse, when I opened my food, there was a hair in the order, and I had to throw the food away. I am extremely disappointed. I was a longtime customer who genuinely liked the old location and had referred friends and family here. I was not asking anything unreasonable--I was simply trying to find out how to place a takeout order ahead of time. Being dismissed, told not to come back, and then receiving food containing a hair was completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will no longer be recommending this restaurant to my friends and family. read more

Kamitoku ramen - spicy beefy wild - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The ramen here is unique because it's made with beef bones instead of pork. I love the beefy richness of the broth, and the meat is super tender and flavorful. My favorite is the Beefy Wild because it's perfectly balanced. I also tried the Seabura, which was still very good and definitely more rich and salty, but I wasn't a fan of the fatty chunks in the broth and the piece of meat was a bit too fatty for my taste. The noodles are Sun Noodles, not homemade, but still solid. They're thin and have a slight sweetness to them. Service is just okay, but the restaurant itself is nice and cozy, which makes it a chill spot to eat. read more

This is their new location, and the ambiance feels much more rustic compared to the original Asian-themed vibe. Unfortunately, the food quality seems to have gone down as well. The char siu now comes shredded instead of as a whole piece, the egg is simply soft-boiled rather than the ajitama-style egg they used to serve, and the portion sizes are noticeably smaller. Overall, the food now feels more like casual takeout rather than the quality and experience they originally offered. Overall Service is still great read more

Definitely one of my top five ramen spots on the island! After hearing about Kamitoku for years, I finally had the chance to try it. My bf and I both ordered the Beefy Wild ramen, and it absolutely lived up to its name. It was rich, flavorful, and incredibly delicious. We visited around 8 p.m. on a Friday and only waited about five minutes to be seated. Every time I drive by, there always seems to be a line outside, so I was pleasantly surprised by the short wait. The restaurant itself is pretty small, which explains why there can be a wait during peak hours. Overall, it was well worth it, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I just wanted to start off by saying this restaurant isn't the same as it was two years ago when I've visited Honolulu. I used to rave to my buddies back at home that this spot was the best and now when I've visited today the food was subpar.. the broth isn't the same as it used to be. The broth that ive had before was creamy, full of body, umami, the beef was tender... now it's shredded.. why? The egg was seasoned.. now it isn't. I feel like the last location had better ambiance, the service was better, livelier. This location seemed more modernized, dark, music is unfitting, and the food wasn't the same. To conclude this paragraph.. change the recipe back to how it was before. read more

Fast and friendly!! Stopped in for lunch and luckily they weren't too busy yet. Signed in at the front entrance and were seated right away. Menus and ice water came out promptly. My friend had a coughing fit and asked the male server for hot water, but we were told they don't have any... hmmm, REALLY? Odd, but we moved on. We both ordered the lunch combos. I went with the Beef Wild combo with fried gyoza, while my friend chose the Tan Tan ramen with sui gyoza. If you love a deep, rich beef flavor, the Beefy Wild is exactly what you want--super creamy, full-bodied broth, and perfectly al-dente ramen noodles that hold up beautifully in the soup. My friend really enjoyed the Tan Tan ramen, which came with a spicy, creamy broth that had just the right kick. If you're looking for fast service and bold, flavorful ramen, Kamitoku delivers. By the time we were heading out, there was already a line forming outside--so go early! Definitely left wanting to come back and try more. read more

This is a cute little ramen spot that has fun deco~! It's a small restaurant but it's enough since ramen is a pretty fast meal. We got the beefy wild small - the ramen is good. The most dominant flavor was the crispy garlic bits. Our kid liked it too! It tasted like a beefy miso~ My husband got the seabura and it was also tasty. If I'm being completely honest, I didn't think there was much of a taste difference that'd I'd have preferred one over the other. Overall, cute place. They had high chairs but no locking mechanism for the seatbelts to keep the kid in place. We went at 5pm on Monday and got instantly seated. Service was lovely. read more

Located at Ward Center, parking in the parking structure , entrance is on Auahi St., no bathroom in the restaurant but there is one in Ward Center. We were greeted right away and seated at a table separated by wooden/acrylic partitions. It has about 8/4 top tables a small counter seating for 3 people facing the street so you can people watch and a center counter which can accommodate 12 people. Their ramen is beef base broth. We ordered the Beef Gyoza Namban, 5 pieces, which is topped with green onions, sweet vinegar shoyu & tartar sauce. It was good, there was a little too much tartar sauce to my liking but I just scraped it off. Also ordered the Seabura Ramen, it had a creamy beef broth, egg, garlic , green onions and a beef char siu, it was tasty and comforting. My hubby had the lunch special which was a small bowl of the ramen and he ordered the beef fried rice, which was very good and came with a side of kimchi. Great place for a quick, comforting bite to eat! read more

Kamitoku serves up some seriously tasty ramen! They specialize in beef broth ramen, and you can really taste the depth and richness in every sip.

First timer at Kamitoku Ramen! It was the perfect cold rainy night for ramen and I was excited to check this place out. I wasn't expecting Kamitoku to be busy on a weeknight, but there was a wait of about 5-6 parties ahead of us. We didn't do any research prior but while there found out they take reservations, so I will definitely do that on my next visit. For dinner, I ordered the regular gyoza and the tan tan ramen. The gyoza was really crispy and had a unique beef flavor. My tan tan was also pretty good but I'm not sure I liked the broth--I'll probably try a different ramen on my next visit. The broth tasted more like taco seasoning than traditional tan tan sesame flavor. Other than that no complaints! Great experience at Kamitoku Ramen. read more

Thankfully it moved fast and we were seated within 15 mins I think. We both ordered the yuzu ramen and we shared the beef gyoza nanban which was really tasty! It was a fried beef gyoza with a white sauce that tasted and reminded me of cole slaw haha! It was good! Their yuzu ramen is so good too! The yuzu is light and fresh tasting. I wish their eggs were jammier but still good. They're located in Ward Centre next to Mian & Bao and the newly opened Cappy Claw (claw machine arcade). read more

Stopped by during Restaurant Week to try the Beefy Wild Ramen Set, which included a hearty bowl of ramen, five pieces of gyoza, and a drink--all for just $22. In today's dining scene, that kind of value is hard to come by! We arrived around 1:30 PM, just before their lunch closing time at 2:30 PM. Although the sign-in sheet had already been removed and we didn't have a reservation, the staff kindly accommodated us and seated us right away. Big kudos for the warm hospitality! The ramen itself was flavorful with a satisfying kick--perfect for those who enjoy a touch of spice. The gyoza were crisp and savory, a great complement to the noodles. The included drink, called 'First Love', was a fun surprise: a mix of strawberry syrup and Calpico, served with a cute pocky stick on the side. Sweet & refreshing! I'll definitely be back! This ramen is just what you need in cooler weather. Great food, great value, and a welcoming vibe! read more

Kamitoku's new South Shore Market location is definitely a step up in terms of space and atmosphere. The open kitchen concept is nice, the restaurant feels much larger, and overall the new location is more inviting than the old one. Unfortunately, the food and menu changes were a big disappointment for me. The old location had a much larger menu with plenty of ramen options, while the new menu is limited to just three choices. The ramen itself doesn't taste the same, and even the noodles seem different. The biggest letdown was the chashu--it used to be served as a whole slice of pork, but now it's more of a shredded meat style that lacks the same appeal and texture. Adding to that, the new location currently doesn't have a liquor license, which takes away part of the dining experience. While the new space is beautiful, I left missing the food and variety that made Kamitoku one of my favorite ramen spots. Hopefully they'll bring back more of what made the original location special. read more

I would recommend a reservation as seating is limited. We went on a weeknight & it seemed steadily busy. Service was good & quick!

The broths are so tasty. The ramen here is packed with beefy fatty flavor. Sometimes the beef char siu gets tough though; the cubed one is usually more tender. Pretty sure they used to be bigger though? At some point in 2025 the sizes got smaller. They also got rid of the king size ramen and the sui gyoza, which was great, is no longer available. They have a point system but it's kind of confusing. Bathroom in the mall. read more

I stopped by Kamitoku at Ward Village for dinner and, as always, how good everything was. The ramen, Marina, was the star -- the broth was light yet full of flavor, not too salty, and perfectly balanced. The noodles had just the right chew, and the slice of chashu was tender with a nice sear. The soft-boiled egg was seasoned well and added a nice richness to the bowl. For sides, I tried the spicy takoyaki, which came crispy on the outside and creamy inside, topped with mayo, green onions, and crunchy chili bits -- one of the better ones I've had on Oʻahu! The ajitama eggs in chili oil were also delicious -- a bit spicy, savory, and super flavorful. To finish off, dessert was a sweet -- a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon, served with a cinnamon churro on the side. It was simple but satisfying -- warm, cold, and perfectly comforting. I like this place. read more

I went on a weekday at 11am. Ordered their best seller - Beefy Wild Ramen. It was excellent!! Broth was creamy and mild (but very flavorful). Noodles were perfectly cooked. The beef looked like it would be chewy but it was surprisingly tender ("fall off the bone" tender without the bone). Half of a hard boiled egg was included. Price was about $18 for a regular bowl (there's also a mini size for a lower cost). I would definitely order this again (would also like to try other items). I was able to make reservations via Yelp. Restaurant was pretty empty at 11am (they open at 11am) but got more crowded at noon. Service was very good - wait staff was very attentive. Parking is free and convenient (Ward Center parking structure). I highly recommend this place. read more

My friend and I were Yelping our way through dinner options after some time apart (gotta love the 30s scheduling struggle). A little scrolling plus stomach logic reminded me I'd been here before and liked it - case closed. Reservations are an option, but we walked in and got seated right away: no wait, no fuss, just pure ramen-tic vibes between me and the noodles. Location: Facing Auahi St, right next to Mian & Bao and across from the Anaha building. Parking: Not the restaurant's fault, but the lot behind it is narrow, low, and unforgiving (free, at least!). My compact car had to suck in its mechanical guts just to squeeze into a stall. Lifted trucks? You'll need divine intervention and some serious real-life Tetris skills. Safe to say the designer missed the Hawaii = Tacoma country memo. Atmosphere: Retro, eclectic izakaya vibes with a slightly off-script design. Tight quarters, lively energy, and a playlist that sounded like my Spotify on shuffle. Food: My friend tried the Beefy Seabura, I went with the Beefy Wild. The broth? Incredible - milky, rich, and soul-warming. The beef? Basically a jaw workout - impossible to chew through, and my friend had the same issue. In hindsight, I should've flagged it to the staff, but I was too busy enjoying the other 70-80% of the bowl. Drinks: Just water for us since ramen was the star. Beyond the usual soft drinks and booze, the cocktail list had a quirky twist - each one named after a Japanese city pop track. Service: Our waiter was attentive and on point - no complaints here. Price: Around $15 for my ramen - reasonable, though tough to swallow (literally) when the beef wasn't. Would I return? Tentatively yes. If the beef pulls the same stunt again, I'll be sticking to safer picks. read more
