Let's talk about truth in advertising, shall we? The black garlic broth ramen here is genuinely delicious -- rich, deep flavor, and the roast pork is done right. Big chunks, crispy skin, not drowned into mush in the broth like some places do. Chef's kiss on the pork. Shoutout to whoever curates the playlist -- 2000s hip-hop hits were playing and it was honestly the best part of the ambience. Good vibes musically, at least. But bring your reading glasses for the fine print, because what's on the menu photo and what lands on your table are two very different stories. My noodles arrived with a "sprinkle" of green onion (read: a pinch) and maybe 1-3 sad bamboo shoots doing a solo act where the picture showed a generous pile. When I politely pointed out the discrepancy, they still charged me $3 for what amounted to two tablespoons of green onion. Three. Dollars. Ambience is minimal -- think function over form -- and the environment felt more empty than cozy. There were only three people in the entire restaurant -- my husband, me, and one other guest -- yet service was mediocre at best. We sat there just staring at the staff for a solid 15 minutes waiting on our cold noodles and dipping sauce. Cold. Noodles. In an empty restaurant. Bottom line: the food has real potential and the broth is worth coming back for, but the portion-skimping and slow, inattentive service (with barely anyone to serve!) make this feel more like a cash grab than a noodle house. Fix the toppings, fix the pacing, and this could be a real contender.
Broth is very rich, meat is fatty. I like their char siu cut. Noodle is al dente. They have different sizes and you can always add noodles. Nice spot close to Alas Chun wah Kam. Great date night spot. The inside is not super big. Check it out!
I tried their shoyu regular ramen, and it was pretty good. The noodles had a great texture, the char siu was so tender, and the egg was one of the best eggs I've had in terms of being perfectly soft-boiled. The broth was a little sweeter than I'm used to. Service was good though and I was seated very quickly. A good hole in the wall, so it wasn't that busy!
Tried the pork kakuni tsukemen and it totally hit the spot. The noodles had that perfect chewy texture and held up really well in the broth -- no sogginess even toward the end. The dipping broth was rich and savory with a deep pork flavor, but not overwhelmingly heavy or salty. The kakuni was the star though. Super tender, melt-in-your-mouth soft with just the right balance of fat and lean. It added so much depth to each bite when you dipped the noodles and grabbed a little piece of pork with it. Portion size was satisfying and everything tasted fresh and well thought out. Definitely a comforting, crave-worthy dish I'd come back for, especially if you're in the mood for something hearty but still refined.
Menya is one of those places that never disappoints. The noodles are insanely fresh -- perfectly chewy and springy -- and the broth is rich, flavorful, and super comforting without being too heavy. You can tell everything's made with care. I got the Tonkotsu ramen and it was amazing -- deep pork flavor, silky texture, and just the right amount of saltiness. The tsukemen (dipping noodles) is also a must-try; that dipping broth is pure umami heaven. The shop itself is clean, modern, and has a chill vibe. The staff are always friendly and quick, even when it's busy (which it usually is -- definitely worth the wait though!). Portions are generous, prices are fair, and you leave feeling full and happy. Whether you're a ramen lover or just craving a comforting bowl of noodles, Menya is one of the best in Honolulu. Must-try: Tsukemen, Tonkotsu ramen, and their spicy miso if you like a little kick! Con: Parking is not the greatest for this restaurant. Only street parking is available so try to go during non popular hours.
This was one of the first authentic ramen spots that came to hawaii after goma tei and it was a welcomed!! They used to be my favorite ramen spot but then a bunch more started coming (Wagaya, Noods, Onoya, Junpuu, ex.) but they still make an exceptional ramen. I usually go with the pork kakuni black tokotsu ramen add ajitama, the broth is rich and more on the thicker side but it is delicious!! Add the perfectly cooked soft boiled ajitama with the melt in your mouth kakuni, I could go for a bowl right now! One thing you must add is in the garlic shrimp bao bun, don't be discouraged by then, it's one of the best things your gonna put in your mouth here, they used a soft shelled shrimp that can be eaten WHOLE, topped with a great garlic sauce and perfectly complimented with a nice honey mustard sauce, it's a must get whenever you come here. Theyre also know for their tsukemen with is a dipping style noodles with a more concentrated broth which equally as delicious as any other ramen, just depending on what you're craving. This is a small shop located in a small building at the end of Pensacola street, there is very minimal parking so try to get there earlier, and try not to park across the street because they do tow. If you're craving ramen in the ala moana area, this is my highly recommended spot, give em a try.
Checked this spot out and it was a little hidden gem. Came here for lunch with a friend and the ramen was delicious! I love gyoza and this hit the spot! It's a small little place, so seating can be tough if it's during lunch/dinner times. Parking is scarce, but there is parking right in front. Definitely plan to be back!
Wow lau lau! I trip on the service here! We came first then anyone here but was the last to be serve! Step up your service and for that alone I gave 3 star and will probably never come back here again even if I was force to come back.. sorry but not sorry! You guys made my son mad and this is for my son.
My wife wanted to go Lin's Hawaiian Snack Shop to pick up some Lemond Peel. I wanted to have noodles for lunch. I told her let's try Menya Le Nood if we could find parking. Well, we lucked out. Hadicap street parking a few feet down from the restaurant. Menya is small restaurant with a Japanese flair. Metal stools and bench seating. It was comfortable enough for a short stay. Interesting was the kitchen which is four steps above the dining area. I had the Menya ramen with tonkasu broth. My wife had the standard ramen with shoyu broth combo. This included Three pieces of goyza. The goyza was not to my liking. The Menya had a good tasting broth. It had a perfect whole soft boiled egg and two thick slices of pork belly . The pork was tender and flavorful. The noodles were on the denser side and chewy. Our server was pleasant and courteous. Enjoy
Whenever I'm craving cold noodle with hot dipping broth we head to this cute little restaurant called Menya on Pensacola. Parking is limited maybe about 5 stalls in front of the building. We usually go on a Sunday when they open so it's not peak time. Service is good and there's about 8 tables that can seat 4. My go to dish is tsukemen with spinach with goma or black tonkatsu dipping sauce chicken karaage combo. The takoyaki and gyoza is good too.
This place looks like a little hole in the wall, street parking, might have to walk a couple of blocks but SO totally worth it. Four of us went and had different kinds of ramen which all had incredible broths, and also really delicious karaage chicken (spicy & not), yummy Ramune drinks, & huge pork bao buns. Everything was so good we wanted to return the next day and have more.
Menya le Nood is a cozy little hole-in-the-wall type of joint that serves a no-nonsense, straight-up bowl of Japanese comfort food. After an event we attended fell through, my husband and I were hungry. It was easy for us to stop off at this little shop by bus on the way back to our hotel accommodations in Waikīkī. Being from California, I'm used to flashier ramen chain restaurants that offer more fusion-forward options. While those types of ramen restaurants are good, Menya le Nood is even better in my book because it tastes home-cooked with love for the craft in spades. I opted for the Standard Ramen (includes chasiu, bamboo shoots, green onion, and a shoyu egg) with Black Tonkotsu broth (nice and garlicky). My first taste of the broth proved a rich, velvety body with a deep, yet clean, umami flavor. The fresh, bouncy noodles were perfectly cooked, bringing it all together for a solidly delicious bowl of ramen. I haven't yet been to try ramen in Japan, but something tells me that this bowl is pretty darn close. I have to hand it to the staff, too, for making us feel welcome even though we crashed into the shop close to closing. We just barely made the cut for last call... and I'm glad we did! Service wrapped up with a handy little punch card letting us know that if we purchase 10 orders of ramen or tsukemen over the next year, we will get one order free. I probably won't be back in Honolulu in time to use it, but if I was local to O'ahu, I know I'd be a regular at this spot.
After a night of YouTube and Anthony Bourdain, I had to get some tsukemen. This was the first place I got introduced to it. I never got to try getting the "real thing" in Japan but it matches up real nice to what I saw. Thick noodles with a chewy bite. Real rich and hearty flavored dipping sauce. The thick and rich roasted pork belly really added to the enjoyment. It wasn't real busy on a Tuesday lunchtime so I wasn't worried about taking the time to enjoy the food.

It was my first time going on a Saturday morning to catch with one of my friends. I got their Salad Tsukemen with Black Tonkotsu Broth -- it was so rich with the garlicky, pork broth and the noodles were perfectly cooked. You can make the tsukemen as a combo by adding a bao on the side! *BONUS POINTS* - Monthly specials - Vegan Menu *PARKING* - limited parking spots (~3-5) - metered parking *LOCATION* - very busy since it is near Kapiolani and on Pensacola, so I recommend using the traffic lights to cross the street since many people like to jaywalk read more
Haven't had sesame flavored tsukemen before but it was quite good and i appreciate how wel the flavor is infused i to the broth. Menya le nood is a great option for hot days when you need something thats not gonna make you overheat. I would say its got a decent portion size tho feels smaller than the average ramen shop. It does have one of my favorite flavors which i mentioned above, so i do still come by here from time to time! read more
Menya le Nood was recommended to me by multiple people as one of the best ramen restaurants on the island and it did not disappoint! We went around 5:30pm and we got seated immediately. Parking: There is pretty limited parking in front of the restaurant itself and it's 1hr parking only before 6pm so do keep this in mind! Ambiance: The restaurant was really nice and cozy, pretty much the vibe that most ramen restaurants emanate. It's a pretty small shop so make sure to call ahead of time to reserve a table or to check the wait time. Service: Service was solid! The server took our order promptly and the food came out relatively quick as well! Our waters were constantly being refilled which is always appreciated. Food: The food was delicious! We ordered their spicy chicken karaage as an appetizer and it was well battered and juicy. I got their Menya tsukemen with the black tonkatsu broth. I've never had tsukemen before but the noodles to dip in the broth were thicker than the ramen noodles (my friend got the ramen) which I throughly enjoyed. The broth was very flavorful as well. I will say I am a huge ajitama lover (hence why I ordered two extra for my tsukemen) and their ajitama is not as umami as some others that I've had before. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and I will for sure be returning here if I ever want some ramen or tsukemen! read more

Great experience! We went on a Thursday around 5:30 PM and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Parking is a little tough because it's located on a busy street with limited street parking. Onto the food, our order came out quick. The Spicy Chicken Karaage was delicious! The batter was crispy and well-seasoned, but I wish it was a little spicier. The Menya Tsukemen with Black Tonkotsu broth was also delicious! I love the thicker noodles and kakuni pork! Everything is a little salty, so I think adding spinach or some vegetable with this would be good. The restaurant was a little small, so I recommend making a reservation or coming early. read more
I finally made it to Menya Le Nood at Ward last weekend and it was so good! We got the menya ramen and tsukemen to try both styles. The regular ramen had this rich broth that you could tell had been cooking forever. The noodles were chewy and the chashu pork was amazing - really thick slices that stayed super tender and juicy. I was honestly surprised they weren't dry at all given how thick they were cut. The tsukemen was really flavorful too, but I actually preferred the regular ramen. The dipping style was fun to try, but the noodles felt a bit cold compared to the hot broth experience of the regular ramen. I guess I'm just more of a traditional hot bowl person. The concentrated dipping broth was flavorful though, and it had the same amazing thick pork slices. What really made the night though was the service. Our two servers were so attentive and when I mentioned loving the spice, they actually gave me some of their homemade spice blend to take home! That was such a nice touch. The place has a cool modern/traditional hybrid feel, way different from your typical ramen spot. Ward Center restaurants can be hit or miss but this one's definitely a keeper. I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their menu! read more

From quick and friendly service, to crispy soft shell shrimp deliciousness.... I enjoyed this hole-in-the-wall noodle spot! It's a very small, cutesy space... open kitchen like, you can watch them making your noods. Our server was Logan, and he was super nice and helpful with any questions we had. I came with my old colleagues as a lil "reunion," and it was such a chill vibe here. I ordered the Black Tonkotsu Broth basic with no Menma and add Onsen Egg. I chose thin noodles and it was cooked perfectly! The broth was nice and rich with a heavy garlic flavor that I absolutely loved! Garlic soft shell shrimp was something I can just eat alone or on top of some rice!! Crispy enough to eat, but soft mean and flavorful! For those who can't stand a whole strimp tail and all, then I would still try it at least once! Gyoza was nice and panfried... nothing more than good, but something I must have with ramen! I tried the bao and the bun was nice and soft. I got mine with kakuni (braised beef) and that was the perfect blend of umami, savory, and sweet caramelization! I will definitely be back for ramen and that shrimps.... A great place to go after a long day in the office! Ahah read more

Wow, what a gem! The ramen was incredible! Rich, creamy broth and perfectly balanced flavors. The service was impeccable, too. So glad we stumbled upon this spot! read more
We've been here loads of times, even before it was called Menya le Nood. Ramen is delish! I love that you can see into the kitchen and watch the masters at work. The menu is pretty simple, even though it may be a lot to take in your first visit. Everything I've ordered here is great. My go to is the "Menya Ramen", original tonkotsu broth, but I ask for the tsukemen noodles (which are thicker and chewier). It's perfect every time! The chashu is to die for, perhaps my favorite on island. This time I got the bare bones ramen, so I could try the mini chashu don combo and still have my bowl of noodles. That was also really really good! Lunch time is also happy hour, so things like soft shell garlic shrimp, gyoza, and karaage are discounted earlier in the day. Service is always great. They operate as a small team, and it works for them. There's always one guy for the front of house and 2 guys in the kitchen, but they're all efficient. The shop itself is always clean & tidy. Once you're seated, water and menus immediately appear. On the table is a squeeze bottle for gyoza sauce, and a little ceramic pot with some kind of dry spice mix to bring the heat to your ramen if you like. Highly recommend for a super filling, yummy taste of Japan! read more

It's my 3rd time here. I realized their tsukemen tastes better than ramen so make sure that's what you are gonna get if you want a 5 star experience! Their tsukemen noodles were thick and chewy; I just couldn't stop eating them! I got the veggie one with black garlic. It's flavorful and I love the cabbage and spinach they gave me. Their ajitama was done well too, unlike many ramen places that overcooked their eggs. This one was soft boiled with runny yolk. I also tried their soft shell shrimp. It's delicious and I could really eat the whole shrimp with the shell on! The head had a lot of flavor for sure! Their chicken karaage was pretty good but wasn't the best I've had so it's OK to skip it if you aren't particularly craving it. Service was great. Our server came to check on us to make sure everything was OK. Parking can be challenging. There are only a few spots outside which are shared with Nanzan giro next door. read more
I had bookmarked Menya le Nood based on Rebecca T's review and recommendation for a potential lunch spot while I was visiting the island. Good call! Having never had tsukemen noodles before, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. They're good! As advertised, a bit thicker and chewier than ramen but not enormously so. As for Menye le Nood, it's a fine hole-in-the-wall with a laid back friendly vibe, good service and most importantly, tasty food. Recommended. read more

Delicious ramen spot off the main strip, close to Ala Moana mall. I got the super menya ramen, which came with 3 thick pieces of fatty pork belly in the tonkotsu broth. I got the regular size portion of noodles and was very satiated by the end of the meal. Came with 2 friends on a Friday evening and waited only 10 minutes for a table to open up. read more
Had this place recommended to me several times and for good reason! Their noodles and broth are full-bodied with lots of depth - my friend got soba noodles and said they were just as good! Very small and comfy ramen/noodle shop - I want ro revisit to try their Takoyaki and other food options! - Miguel Morales Photography read more
Menya le Nood is a solid restaurant around the Ala Moana area. I appreciate that they were able to accommodate the saltiness level for my mom. We all decided to get the vegan goma broth, which is $1 more. I ordered the Menya ramen and it was good. Parking situation can be a bit hard, but we were lucky to find metered parking nearby! read more

Yum! Still a great spot for tsukemon. I ordered the tonkotsu tsukemon and my partner ordered the regular tonkotsu ramen. We were both very happy with our selections. We came on a weekday around 11:30 and were seated right away. read more
Three co-workers and I had lunch at Menya le Nood on May 29. Call us fortuitous because three cars pulled out as we arrived, so we scored a parking space directly in front of the entrance. (There is limited parking in front of the building.) Three had the Menya Tsukemen ($19.50) while I tried the Salad Tsukemen ($19.50). I was going to order the Menya Salad with Garlic Soft Shell Shrimp ($14) but when at a noodle place, one orders noodles. We shared two plates of gyoza for $6 plate (normally $7.50). We all went with the Black Tonkotsu (savory roasted garlic pork) broth. This was my first experience with the Salad Tsukemen ... It's a very nice salad (lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onion and crispy garlic) atop the noodles with a piquant dressing. I almost didn't need the black tonkotsu sauce. Just kidding; the sauce makes the tsukemen special. Service was pretty quick, and we were done in just over 30 minutes. My sole quibble was I wanted the broth to be hotter; it was lukewarm at best. This seems to be how they want to serve it because it's always been like this. Other than that, a perfect lunch, especially when one of us paid the entire bill. Thanks! read more

We both got a Super Menya Ramen, one with the Tonkatsu broth and one with the Black Garlic Tonkotsu. If I were to return I'd get the Black Garlic one as it had more depth of flavor, although both were delicious. I'm somewhat of a tonkotsu broth snob so I can't say this is nearly the best I've had, but it was solid. Not as rich or flavorful as I would have liked. The noodles had a good bite and the pork belly for the menya ramen was super thick and tender, a really great bite. The ramen egg was perfectly cooked on top as well and I enjoyed the bamboo shoots that came with it. Each bowl of ramen was around $22, so on the higher side I'd say. The service was good and quick, nothing notable. We were in and out of there in 30 minutes probably. The seating area was fine, just kind of a casual ramen spot. Although the AC was blasting so it was kind of cold in there. But they do have an open kitchen so I can undercard why they'd need to keep it blasting, I'm sure it's super hot in the kitchen. Would probably go back if convenient. read more

Does Menya offer gift cards?
yes, I think you just tell them how much to load on it. $20-$100 etc
Do they take reservation?
Hi. Unfortunately no, it will be walk-in only with first come first serve. Thank you.
Can you eat the entire crispy garlic shrimp including the shell?
Of course!!!!! That's da best part
How does their check in work for dining in? We tried to go but no employee was in the front for greeting, people were waiting outside scattered in the front, and the sign said "Please wait to be seated".
I normally ask the other patrons outside if they've already signed in or not. After confirming I go inside and sign in before waiting outside again 😉
Why the name change?
They dropped the name because they didn't want to keep paying Musashi for the use of their name. They became an independent franchise.
Are they open for lunch on Memorial Day? Called several times but no answer? Called 3x tonight around 8:00 - 8:30. Thanks, just called (9:08 PM) & they said they are open. And now they decide to close?
When did you call? They don’t open all day so you need to call between 11am and 2:30 and then after 5pm. Idk if they open this Monday, Memorial Day.
