Since arriving to Kauai, my pals and I did not have anything soupy and was craving ramen. I'm sorry to say, but the Tonkotsu Ramen was one of the worst ramen I had...First of all, the noodles were overcooked. I can't do soggy noodles, so the moment I took a bite, "oh no..." Broth just tasted like an instant noodle one and was so viscous, possibly from the overcooked noodles. The chashu was fine but everything else from the dish was not satisfactory. I really wanted to like it, by adding spices and chili oil to salvage it, but to no avail. read more

Naruto Noodles - Tonkotsu Ramen - Food Trucks Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

This was a food truck a little north of Poipu beach. There are another few vendors in this area with ample parking. Side note: check out their Instagram for current hours. We came at their claimed open hours on yelp, but Instagram had noted they were going to open an hour later. This wasn't the greatest problem for us but could be for others. Probably the reason I'd give it one less star. We waited a bit for them to open up and take orders. They have a small tent to accommodate people who want to eat here. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with fish cakes added. The broth was creamy and flavorful. Not too oily. Noodles portion was adequate and very filling, I would've preferred a soft-boiled egg. But that's being very picky. I appreciate their sustainability in using paper bowls which might not fare well if you're traveling. Just a side note: they charge a small percentage to use card so if you want to avoid that, bring cash! read more

I really want to love the food on Kauai... and here where I have tried to come numerous times. I got the pork rice bowl, added veggies... bland. Took it home and added some siracha.... The noodles my vegetarian niece had were nominally better, but not by much. The service was friendly and the location is beautiful. read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for dinner. We had wanted to come to Narutos Noodles for a number of days but had yet to find it open. My wife happened to notice on Instagram that they were open on this night and so we headed on over. Since others had complained about the waits, I decided to look at the time and it was 5:26 whenever we got in line and there were 4 sort of large groups in front of us. I was able to order at 5:50 after the couple in front left after finding out that they had nothing vegan on the menu. Two groups behind us also left after waiting in line a couple of minutes. Finally at 6:14 our name was called and we got our food. So it wasn't the slowest food truck I have ever been to and the ladies inside did tell a few customers everything was made fresh to order. Since this is a food truck, there's not much to say about it except it has their logo and all of their menu items on the outside and there are quite a few of menu items. Inside of the truck were a couple of workers and the person working the register put on a face shield to talk to anyone who was ordering. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the spicy Thai noodles while my wife went with the Asian garlic noodles and added vegetables. The menu described mine as Fresh Noodles, Spicy Thai Style Broth Topped with Roasted Thai Chili, Ground Pork, Roasted Peanuts, Green Onions, Fishcake, Calamansi (Lime), Bean Sprouts & Fried Wonton Crisps and my wife's as Fresh Island Saimin Noodles, Tossed with Our Homemade Asian Garlic Butter Sauce & Topped with Shredded Parmesan Cheese. My ramen here ended up being quite good and I really loved my broth which had a nice spice level to it. Then the ground pork was a nice addition and the noodles were somewhat springy. Finally the calamansi added a nice citrus flavor to it for when I wanted it. The only misstep that I would say were the fried wonton crisps which ended up being half soggy. I do like the idea of adding some crunch to the ramen but am not sure how you would go about that. My wife also really enjoyed her noodle dish, especially the vegetables. The bite I had of it was quite garlicky and flavorful. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Narutos Noodles is never going to be the fastest food truck, but if you like good food, then this is the place for you. read more

Naruto Noodles - Thai ramen - Food Trucks Near Me - Koloa, Hawaii

Our kids wanted to try it just because of the name. The hours are kind of wack. Stated on Yelp 12p-6p only Fridays and Saturdays. We went at 12:05p. Closed. On the way back from zip lining we drove by at 6:15pm and they were open. The Naruto ramen was pretty good. It's not authentic ramen but I don't hold that against them. The kids really liked it. The garlic noodles were just ok. They had coconut /taro boba. It came in a huge 32 ounce cup and the boba was at the top and they had run out of straws.... They didn't bother to tell us that they ran out of straws before we ordered. The drink itself was pretty good. The taro boba not so good. Not bad if you're looking for some ramen, but good luck finding them when they're open. read more

This was the first spot I tried on the island after reading the great Yelp reviews. Although I really wanted to love this place, the local style noodles had a strange smokey taste. Lumpia was great but the sauce that came with it had a watery consistency that had mild to no flavor. I'll likely be back to try other dishes but as for those two, just okay. Service was friendly. The dish took 15 minutes to prepare. This place was slightly more expensive for a food truck. Noodles were $13-15. Lumpia was $6. read more

This food truck is in Koloa and worth visiting. I ordered the Naruto ramen and the chashu. The woman taking the order was very friendly and nice. The order came out quickly. The ramen broth was piping hot and the broth delicious. I wanted to slurp a quick mouthful but almost got burned. The broth was rich and flavorful in small spoonfuls. The noodle was cooked to a delicate al dente, not over cooked. I got two 1/2 slices of a boiled egg which is generous. The nori complemented the Kamaboko. The chashu was luxurious and flavorful with just the right amount of salt to go along with the fat. Good job! read more

Tried to eat here like 3x and finally got them 30min before they closed! Nice truck to stop by for lunch, desperate to find somewhere to eat after coming back from the beach and it was like 3:30pm. Just sit by the tables they have near that area designated for the food trucks. Naruto ramen was pretty good. I got it spicy and the broth was good, decent portion but i knew i would be hungry. Wish it came with actual meat but it had a full boiled egg plus fish cakes instead. Cousins got gyoza ramen which tasted fine and the charsiu rice bowls. Rice bowls looked small and we thought they'd be hungry but that miso white gravy was heavy af they could not finish. Charsiu sauce they thought was ok. Not the best we have tasted. Would've been a 4 star but there was an eyelash in my soup (on the egg) sooooo that kinda turned me off already. For $11-14 each ish not bad, it's typical ramen prices. Staff is nice and we got our food quickly. read more

Seeing all the options, I was a bit skeptical: ya know, lots of options, can't be good at all of them? Well, I didn't try everything but I did try 2 things that were very tasty. Local style fried noodles with shrimp - savory and perfectly cooked Pork cha shu rice bowl - melt in yo' mouth pork belly with delicious sauce. Its deceivingly filling. Service is on the slower/fumbling side but ya know, it's Kauai and they were super nice. read more

When I saw food truck and noodles in the name on Yelp I knew I would have to check this place out. Normally this area across from the single strip town of Poipu is filled with a lot of food trucks selling all kinds of local fare. I've never tried any in the past because half are either closed or they offer no veggie items on the menu. Well I'm not sure if Naruto Noodles is new on the block but they were open and they had some veggie options that looked promising so here we go. As the name says they serve all kind of noodle dishes here the menu is written on the colorful van and it's a bit hard to find what you are looking for so I asked the sweet lady which veggie items she had available. She said they have a stir fry ramen style noodle dish and one with coconut milk and veggies. I thought that would be tasty so ordered that 5 hot which I was told was the spiciest. They have outdoor tables you can sit at or share with others as there are only a few. You basically pay and pick up when they call your order. Food comes out in like 5 minutes depending on how many people have ordered. Noodles came out and tasted quite good with many veggies but mostly noodles with a creamy coconut sauce. It had a nice kick from the spice but it wasn't overwhelming. Noodles were fresh and didn't break apart. Overall solid taste. Not blow away or anything but a solid lunch option. And having two veggie items was a plus considering the food trucks here are not veg friendly. Oh and the lady was very complimentary saying how nice I was which was very Kammaina:) read more

We found this truck driving around Koloa Town while looking for some ono grinds. I looked at their Yelp reviews and knew we just had to try it. The hardest part was figuring-out what to order, since so many dishes looked amazing and they truly were! We spoke to Annie, who gave us insight into her vision and culinary background that brought about this onoliscious food truck. You owe it to yourself and your taste buds to check this place out. I ordered the Pork Cha Siu Rice Bowl that had their 6-hour braised pork belly that was topped with their awesome homemade pork miso dressing. The pork belly was super tender and the homemade pork miso dressing was amazing. My wife ordered their Local Style Fried Noodles which was a large portion and with flavor to match. Our son ordered the Spicy Thai Min. Annie suggested splitting the dish into separate containers, since we weren't going to eat it right away. This was a brilliant suggestion, since my son reheated the broth when he was ready to enjoy the meal and added the noodles and spices separately. He was able to add the spicy ingredients to his delight, which was ideal. My only regret was that we only enjoyed one meal from here. I've bookmarked it and will have to come here again on another trip to KauI. read more

Yum yum! My husband and I are leaving their food truck full and happy. We checked their social media before coming to confirm they were open, which they were until 6pm, so we showed up at 5pm. As we pulled up, they were pulling down their signs. The owner said they had run out of everything except for the local fried noodles. We initially said we'd just order 1 to try, then she asked what else we would've wanted. We said Tonkatsu Ramen, and she said she'd make it for us too. So we waited a little bit,and the result was well worth it. The Tonkatsu ramen - the broth was flavorful and bold, the noodles fresh, and the chashu tender and delicious. She even gave us extra chashu. The local noodles hit the spot as well, a delicious stir fry medley. I was so thankful they decided to make both these dishes for us even though they were closing down. Friendly owners, delicious food. Come early! read more

A really friendly person at the window to greet you and take your order was probably the best thing about this truck. We got the local style fried noodles and some gyoza. It was salty and greasy so I could see eating this after drinking. They nicely pan fried my gyoza instead of the usual fried when I asked. read more

This place was delicious. The pesto pasta was our favorite. We also recommend trying the wontons, they were bomb and everything was reasonably priced as well. read more

Pork wontons out of site, hearty portions, nice to get your money's worth after getting bled out on the resorts.

Our noodles were delicious. We got the local and veggie fried noodles. Both great dishes that hit the spot. But getting them was an ordeal! You need to check online on their Instagram to see if they're open. We saw they were and went well before closing time. But, it was right as they needed to change out the pasta water. Once we were able to order and got food it probably took 45 minutes? They were also out of many things we hoped to order. Not a deal breaker, as their food was great, but not the smoothest experience either. Be prepared to be flexible on your order and time! Eating there next time would be fun with live music and picnic tables. read more

It's noodles, it's fine as noodles go. But be prepared to wait and I mean wait. I parked next to the truck, family went to order noodles, I went across the street to Kenji burgers, had a beer while waiting for a take out order, drove to Poipu, returned to Naruto, ordered and ate a perfect BBQ pulled pork from the next truck and my family was still waiting. So if you really want noodles and don't mind waiting an hour, go for it. read more

Basic bowl of ramen. The cha shu pork was great, but the broth was just ok. We'd tried to eat there two days in a row but the hours they're open are "flexible". Hubby would have given it 4 stars, but it wasn't above average for me. read more

Great Ramen. Bit of a wait. The cashier did express how thankful she was to everyone for waiting! Sweet people. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen ($13) and Creamy Pesto Basil Italian Noodles. Tonkatsu ramen had the creamiest broth I've ever had. Naruto and pork were SOOO GOOOOOD. The bowls are pretty decently sized. I was definitely stuffed. Everyone was getting dumplings for their kids and they were loving it. There was corn hole for the kids as well so all in all - a great time. read more

Naruto Noodles was one of the highlights of our trip to Kauai. The owner went out of her way to provide us with the most spectacular experience. Even though they were supposed to be closed on Sundays, she knew we were leaving that night and opened for us. First, we received a tray of yummy drinks, coconuts with straws, and delicious appetizers. Next, she brought out INCREDIBLE noodle bowls, rice bowls, and some of the best ramen I have ever tried. It was a great experience and I cannot wait to return to Naruto Noodles. You cannot miss a chance to eat at the best noodle shop in America! read more

We stopped by today while in the neighborhood for the Old Koloa Town market and decided to line up for Naruto Noodles - such a great decision as it was one of the best meals we've had this week! The wait for food was way shorter than we were expecting and it came out piping hot, fresh and so delicious! We had the char siu bowl, seafood gyoza ramen and the daily special (surf plate). The kids who are usually picky ate their dishes completely clean. Will try to make it back again before we leave the island! read more

Great food, order was as expected, staff were cool. A lot better line than the other stands to their sides, which was good.

The ramen here is amazing and if this review were just based on quality of the food, it would easily be 5 stars. However, it literally took us 2 hours to get our food. 1 hour in line and 1 hour waiting. If that wasn't bad enough, none of the three employees were wearing masks or gloves. This includes the register worker and the two cooks. And when I say not wearing masks, they didn't even have masks on that were pulled down. Just no masks period. This is against Hawaii state law, and what makes it worse, is that we are in the height of the delta variant surge which we now know spreads to and from vaccinated people. I'm fully vaccinated and it still made me incredibly uncomfortable. There wasn't even a fake attempt at partially wearing a mask. Sigh. read more

This is a cute food truck near Poipu beach. We ordered the Thai green curry and stir vegetable noodles with chicken. Both the dishes were satisfactory. Chicken meat was hard to bite. I would give this place 7/10. More points for the location and comfortable seating outside the truck. read more

We stopped here after a day at the beach for an early dinner. We had the garlic noodles, tonkatsu ramen, cha shu bowl, and local style fried noodles. Everything was really good. The pork belly was perfect, sweet, salty, and rich. Broth was flavorful and creamy as it should be and the noodles were cooked al dente so they still had a nice bite to them. The fresh calamansi goes perfectly with the fried noodles giving it a fresh citrus flavor. Garlic noodles are buttery , cheesy, garlicky, and very creamy everything you could want in a pasta dish. The location is great as well. Plenty of shade so it's not too hot on a sunny day. Service is friendly as well. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort and love into what they do and enjoy sharing their delicious food. Definately recommend giving them a try if you're on the Southside you won't be disappointed. read more

Noodle Heaven...as foodie, cook and food truck owner (Dim N Den Sum), this truck puts a lot flavor and love into their food. I have ordered most of the items on the menu and the menu keeps growing/evolving. From traditional Tonkatsu Ramen to Filipino Pancit and even Italian pasta. My favorite is the local style fried noodles.. The recipe is a family secret and it's so ono (delicious). You won't find a better fried noodle and trust me I've eaten them all over the world. My 3 key tips : 1. They are normally open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday 12pm ish til 5ish 2. Bring your noodle appetite 3. Order the fried noodles read more

BEST FOOD TRUCK ON THE ISLAND! First of all, the owner, Annie, was a homie! Super friendly and obviously takes pride in the food she makes. You can tell it is a labor of love. We had the Tonkatasu Ramen, Local Style Fried Noodle, and Thai Curry Noodle. Every item was delicious! My favorite was the ramen. My boyfriend, who is very picky, wouldn't stop eating mine and said it was his favorite ramen. The broth was cooked for 13 hours and it shows. His favorite was the fried noodles. But the green curry noodle holds its own. If you like a little heat, which I do, this is perfect for you. Must be the coconut on the island, cause this coconut curry is amazing. Annie also took the time to chat with us and gave us recommendations as to where to get some local items we were looking for. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and conversation. We walked away with not only happy tummies but a friend as well. read more

We will definitely come back to this spot. read more

Very disappointing. We ordered a Local Style Fried Noodles and it was probably the worst tasting, so bland and the ingredients are not fresh and smell spoiled. On top of that it took forever when there was literally no line. read more

First order of business. Don't attempt to come on a Thursday like their hours suggest because they aren't open on Thursdays. We waited 5 days after seeing the food truck on the side of the road and after waiting that long, I could have waited longer. I got the tonkatsu ramen, asked for it spicy, and when it came it had zero spice, the noodles were over cooked and the ramen had little flavor except for the fish cake and the pork. We also ordered the Asian garlic noodles which were completely overlooked and stuck together in a giant ball. Flavoring of those noodles, however, was fine. The only bright spot of this meal was the gyoza which had decent flavor and the sauce that came alone with them was also good. As a ramen lover, I would skip this place the next time I am in town. read more
