Onoya Ramen - Tan Tan Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was raining and we had little kids with us - we decided to enjoy a take out meal from this place. OMG! It was the best decision! We enjoyed the crispy rice with ahi tuna and also the vegan ramen - which we ordered a spicy version - LOVED IT! All the ramens were incredible- you must try this place if you are craving some amazing ramen. Hope to go in person to provide input on the service and ambiance/ vibe. read more

The great thing about this place is you can add your name to the waitlist on Yelp. I didn't really need to do it this time, as when I came, we got a table right away, didn't even need to check in. The restaurant isn't very loud for how many people are there, which is great. Service is also quick, I ordered the Shoyu ramen and Katsu curry combo, and my partner ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. It took less than 5 minutes for both our food to come out. My partner said that her ramen was good and that it'll be a place we'll come back, which is a great sign from her. Next time I will try something else though. I liked the katsu curry, but the shoyu ramen was just "OK" to me, I'm more used to the broth being a little more umami. But overall it's a good place, will come back again . read more

I came here for the vegan ramen and went to this location in particular because it had a higher rating. When I walked in, I knew I had made a mistake. The place is a dump. There are half-destroyed chairs everywhere near the entrance and the dining room and kitchen are a mess too. Wet grossness all over the kitchen floor, a visibly dirty mop bucket, a dirty soup pot on the floor, serving stand is super dirty, the employee uniforms are dirty, etc. Also, one of the walls is falling apart. But I have POTS and needed to eat. My bowl came slightly dirty. My ramen tasted off (especially the broth) but I ate most of it because I needed food. I couldn't finish the noodles, though. It wasn't very spicy, either. I won't come back, and I hope I won't get food poisoning. read more

What's going on with their waiters lately? 2 awkward experiences in a row. 1 - Waitress's Chinese accent was so thick we couldn't communicate well. We asked for MILD miso ramen for my child & it came to us with chili oil clearly drizzled on top. We asked & she confirmed that it was MILD. I asked why there was chili oil on it & she told us we can just "scoop it off" ourselves. WTF?!? Finally she agreed to take it back & bring one back with no chili oil. 2 - [UPDATE: This employee kindly approached me on my next visit & apologized, which I found to be sincere. He also didn't smell like cigarettes & shared that he's quitting. Added a star back] Approached the restaurant & there was an employee by the door smoking a cigarette, not even 20 ft away from the door like the law requires. I assumed it was a cook, dishwasher or other back-end employee on break. NOPE! It was the ONLY waiter & he was supposed to be inside working! He kindly opened the door for me but absolutely REEKED OF CIGARETTES while doing so & then also inside while he took my order & continued to wait on us. Gross! As a former smoker, I like many, are appalled by the odor of cigarettes....particularly while EATING. Please enforce a no smoking rule for your waitstaff while working! Also, is the AC broken? We were sweating just sitting there waiting for our food We love your ramen, but the dining experience has been FAR BETTER at the newer King St location! read more

Onoya was offering a BOGO ramen special this week from Wed-Fri to celebrate their 5th anniversary, so we braved the pouring rain and flood conditions to come for lunch. It was a good thing I used the Yelp app to join their waitlist, because it seemed like half the people in the area decided to come here for lunch. It was a 25-40 minute wait online, so the timing was perfect for the drive from Manoa. There were at last 10 people already there waiting, but at least the tables were turning petty quickly. We were seated right away and could tell the vibe was that it was a super busy day. We put in our orders and were served within 5-6 minutes. A couple of Classic ramen, a Black ramen, a Tan tan ramen, a pitch of beer, gyoza, and takoyaki. The ramen was piping hot, creamy, and so satisfying good. They're were 3 of is, so the 4th one was to split between us; but we ended up taking most of it home, along with the extra broth. The service was fairly fast and efficient, even for a "slammed" busy day, and the Ramen was excellent, as usual. read more

Onoya Ramen - Mean dat. - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Craving a good bowl of ramen while in Hawaii, we found this well-rated spot on Kapahulu. Parking was limited in their immediate lot so we found parking in the lot by the Jamba Juice on the back of where they're located. Seated quickly and decided what we each wanted. Our waitress came to take our order and when asked what spice level I wanted for my spicy miso order, I asked "how spicy would you say medium is?". The server rolled her eyes and rudely said "how can you ask that? It's MEDIUM.". What the heck? First of all, not all restos spice levels are equal. Especially asian eateries. I've asked this question before at other restos when there are spice levels and wait staff have always been able to provide something to relate the level to, like it's on par with Sriracha sauce etc. This lady was so disrespectful and acted like I asked her something outrageous. Her attitude was extremely off-putting and totally unnecessary. She could have been polite about it. When I tried explaining that I just wanted to know if the general consensus here is that the medium is still very spicy or tolerable, she continued to respond aggressively, intentionally making me feel dumb for even asking. I really wanted to walk out but the kid was hungry so I stayed put despite her piss poor demeanor. My spicy miso ramen was good - nice al dente ramen noods with a nice chew, tender/flavorful chasu pork and spice level that was almost too spicy for my taste, but overall very solid. Husband and son enjoyed their bowls as well. Despite my ramen being tasty, our waitress with the terrible attitude left me wishing we hadn't come. Listen, if you don't want to answer questions from your customers, maybe you shouldn't be working the front of house and should stick to the back. This super rude server basically ruined the good mood I had coming into this meal. For that reason I can confidently say I will not return the next time we're in town. read more

We found this cute ramen spot on the way to Diamond head and it was a slam dunk. They had an awesome lunch deal for 19$. A ramen, gyoza, and a small curry bowl. You can't find that anywhere out here. They have kids ramen sets for like 10$ that are perfect for the little ones. Lots of parking and a zippy's across the street if you wanted to grab some plates to go before heading to DH. Service was fast and the whole meal was great value. Highly recommend! read more

Onoya Ramen - Yuzu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I wanted ramen and was looking for the e-recycling place when I saw the sign for Ono-ya. My sister had recommended it so decided to stop by for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with their vegan ramen options. Yum. I ordered Vegan Fire Ramen with spicy level 3. It was so good and the spicy level was just right. I would give it, 5 stars but, in an empty restaurant with just me sitting there, a party of 7 came. Instead of just pulling a table from another part of the restaurant, he asked if he can pull one of the tables that was attached to my seating which disrupted my meal. Think of the custoner instead of being lazy please . I live in McCully and walked to Mr. Ojisan for a drink and saw their sister restaurant right next door so will go there next time. read more

Onoya Ramen - Vegan spicy ramen, spicy level 3. I started eating then remembered to take photo. - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ramen dish was creamy with tender pieces of pork. Ramen was garnished with mushrooms, bean sprouts, nori sheet, green onions, with pork bone soup. The soup itself was really good because it was creamy, full of flavors from pork bones, and good seasoning. Noodles were chewy and picked up all the flavors from soup. Popcorn chicken had burnt pieces in them. Crunchy and crispy on the outside with chicken meat inside. There were different sauces drizzled on the pieces of chicken. I had to ask for more sauce for dripping. The sauce was sweet on the popcorn chicken pieces. We went there during dinner time and we were seated right away. Service was nice because they provided more sauces and filled up the water as we requested. This was a small restaurant that was voted and won for Shoyu ramen dish. read more

The ramen shop had a cute interior design that felt very homey, and the service was very nice. I ordered the Spicy Miso Tonkatsu Ramen. It was pretty decent overall. The miso flavor was subtle, but there was a good amount of chili oil that added a nice kick. The egg was perfectly runny and flavorful. I did wish there were more toppings and noodles for the price. I was still a bit hungry after finishing my bowl. There were only two pieces of pork chunks, not even slices, and the toppings were fairly limited. Overall, it was a decent spot. If you are looking for a place to satisfy your ramen craving, this will do the job. read more

Onoya Ramen - Tonkotsu Spicy Miso - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was easy to make a reservation online, and I ordered the Tonkotsu Tan Tan Men which really delivered on flavor. The broth was rich and very concentrated, with just the right amount of saltiness. The char siu was cut thickly, nicely charred, well-seasoned, and cut perfectly with a good balance of meat and fat, which paired really well with the broth. It also came with a half runny egg, which was good, though I do wish it came with a full egg for the price point. Service was quick and efficient, our ramen came out within 10 minutes of ordering. Overall, a solid ramen spot with bold flavors and fast service. read more

I tried Onoya Ramen and overall had a really good experience. The appetizers were solid, and I especially liked the tuna crispy rice sushi, although the rice was a bit too hard for my liking. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was the highlight for me. The broth was super rich and delicious, full of flavor, and definitely something I would come back for. It does get a bit hot and stuffy inside when it's packed, so that's something to keep in mind. But overall, the food was really good and worth it. read more

We were in the Kapahulu area and decided to check out Onoya Ramen after a friend recommended it to us. We opted for an early dinner since we'd read that parking can be a bit tight and the place gets packed due to its popularity. Luckily, we timed it perfectly and arrived just before the dinner rush and were seated immediately. The atmosphere is great, the restaurant is nicely decorated, filled with happy patrons, and carries an amazing aroma that hits you the second you walk in. What really impressed us was the efficiency of the entire operation. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were in and out in less than an hour. We didn't have to wait long to order, the food arrived quickly, and the bill was handled just as fast. In our busy lives, time is a precious commodity, and we truly appreciated how smoothly everything ran. As for the food, everything was super tasty. My other half hasn't stopped talking about the broth; it was incredibly flavorful with so many delicious layers. This is definitely a spot we will be returning to. read more

**Rating: 4.5/5** **Food:** 5/5 **Ambiance:** 4/5 **Service:** 4/5 We stopped by Onoya Ramen after hiking Diamond Head--and we were *super* hungry, lol. I was craving chicken katsu curry, while my husband and daughter went for ramen. I can confidently say this is the **best ramen I've had so far in the US**. I actually ended up eating more ramen than my own curry. Even though we ordered the spicy version, my 8-year-old loved it. She said it was spicy and needed water--but still kept saying how *really, really good* it was. The chicken katsu curry was pretty good, but it tasted more Indian-inspired than Japanese to me. I could pick up hints of Indian spices and coconut, and it reminded me a lot of how curry is made in my hometown. While it was flavorful, I was expecting more traditional Japanese curry flavors with potatoes and carrots, which were missing. Overall, a great post-hike stop with amazing ramen. We'd definitely come back--especially for the ramen! read more

Onoya Ramen - Garlic tonkatsu ramen Onoya Gyoza Calamari Chicken Karaage - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I haven't gone to Onoya since they were at Shirokiya. I've heard good things about this place so I decided to give it a go. Part of the problem of not going there was the lack of parking. As soon as I got there, there were 2 cars stuck - neither one wanting to move. After persuading one of them to move, I was able to get a parking right in front of Onoya! Amazing! That part over with, we went inside to look forward to ramen and other dishes. We ordered calamari, agedashi tofu and gyoza. The calamari and gyoza came out so fast.... it was a little worrisome. Both looked dry. The calamari was ok despite it looking dry but the gyoza really suffered. It was dry inside and outside. It tasted ok, but I doubt this is what it was supposed to taste like. The agedashi tofu was good. The sauce was a little vinegary, but good. My ramen looked great and they cooked the noodles perfectly - I asked for firm. The egg was overcooked and didn't have much taste. The broth was great and the choy sum and menma was good. What was outstanding was the chicken pieces in there. It was very, very tender and tasted great. That was the outstanding part of this ramen. All in all, a good bowl of ramen. read more

Onoya Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We were greeted right away and lucky to be seated immediately. Which was surprising because the parking lot was packed. We order gyoza as an appetizer and our ramen. My husband ordered the Tonkotsu Spicy and I ordered the the Shoyu. Our ramen came out quickly and we didn't get our appetizer until we had already started eating. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get the appetizer first but no matter. The gyoza wrapper has a light and there was a lot of filling. It tasted amazing! We also loved our ramen. The ingredients tasted fresh. I also enjoyed the ramen noodles because they were light and didn't leave me feeling heavy or overly stuffed. The broth tasted amazing as well. I highly recommend this place! read more

Their tonkatsu ramen is super flavorful. So rich and comforting. Even their vegan ramen tastes light and creamy. I got the vegan fire and it was pretty spicy. The noodles are chewy, and the toppings are always generous. The popcorn chicken is crazy ono. So crispy and better than the chicken karaage. The fried calamari was decent, but didn't come close to that popcorn chicken. Portions here are huge and absolutely worth the money. You'll leave full and happy every single time. read more

Tantan and black are our fave ramens here. These plus the karaage are the perfect meal to share. There is enough nice thick slices of char siu that extra isn't necessary. Kim chee is ok. Gyozas have a good cook but the inside is a bit squishy/dense for my taste. We might try the veggie ones next time. read more

Tonkotsu Black was great! I liked that I could choose my degrees of saltiness- over salt is one of the reasons that I don't like a lot of ramen spots and Onoya got it just right for me!

Onoya Ramen - Came with all the basics; I didn't have to add anything to it. Tonkotsu Special- Black. - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came in with extremely high expectations after our friends gave raving reviews about this place. They have an extensive menu including lot of appetizer options (veg & kid friendly). Tried the Vegan Fiery & Black Ramen. Both were heavy on noodles and lighter on broth. Would have prefered other way around. Black ramen wasnt spicy at all - totally kid friendly. Roasted garlic in fiery one was a great addition. Packed with flavor, we liked both of them - fiery one slightly more. Veg Gyoza was my favorite - Soft skin and delicious filling. Our 1 year loved it as well! Would love to go back and highly recommend. Reasonably priced. read more

My husband and I visited Onoya Ramen during our stay in O'ahu. It was a perfect choice for a cool and rainy evening. Upon arrival, the restaurant wasn't busy, and we were promptly seated. There are plenty of tables and chairs for dining in. Once seated, it took a while for our server to greet us and take our order. When our server finally arrived, we decided to order everything at once. We opted for the vegetable gyoza, vegan fire ramen, and shrimp won ton ramen. The gyoza arrived quickly, hot and fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed them. The ramen, on the other hand, took a bit longer to come out. Once it arrived, it was good, but the portion sizes were slightly smaller than we were used to. However, both ramen bowls were flavorful. read more

Tucked next to a laundromat with minimal parking, this ramen joint is your classic Oahu-style spot--no frills, no fancy decor, just straight-up quality food. It's always busy, which is usually a good sign, and in this case, definitely is. The ramen here is one of my favorites on the island. I wouldn't compare it to Japan's ramen, but I will say it's better than the Japan airport ramen I had once. My go-to order is the spicy miso ramen and takoyaki--hits every time. I live in central Oahu, so making the trek into town means I only get to come here seldomly, but it's always worth it. Service is just okay (maybe a .3 deduction), but I'm rounding up because the food deserves five stars. If you're craving ramen, I definitely suggest trying it out. Just don't expect ambiance/service--expect flavor. read more

We also shared a few appetizers, eggplant, spicy tuna crispy rice, karaage, and gyozas. All of them were so yummy and good to share with friends.

Came here to have our last meal on the island to celebrate my daughter's early birthday with our friends. She wanted ramen noodles and Onoya ticked off most on our checklist. It's located in next to a laundry mat in a small shopping center where parking was limited. We had to park a couple of blocks away. The service is great. Very accommodating and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. My little one got the kids ramen with gyoza and I got the black vegan with #1 spice. Our friends ordered combo meals which I thought was plenty in terms of portion size. My vegan bowl hit the spot. Soup was tasty, seasoned well. Although I wish there were more veggies besides corn, garlic chips and nori. Mushrooms would have been nice. If you want some vegetables there are other vegan ramen options that have them like Vegan Tan Tan has bokchoy and Vegan Ramen has "fresh vegetable." Ambiance could be better but I never come for that. I put quality and taste of food first then service and ambiance is last. Our table was very wobbly. It was basically a see saw between my friend's 8 year old who I was sitting across from and me. Too much on my mind to complain about it and it's just not in me to complain. read more

Ramen perfection! Of the new ramen places I've tried recently, this is probably at the top. We were immediately greeted and sat promptly upon arriving. The service was quick and friendly, and they were quite open to making suggestions and recommending the best options. Looking over the menu, they offer several ramen dishes that sounded fantastic, but ultimately I went with their signature 'tonkotsu spicy', and I am so glad that I did. I added extra chicken to mine, to up the protein on it, asked for no kikurage, and requested a spiciness level of "3". This. was. perfection. The broth by itself was immensely flavorful, with such a great saltiness and spice to it. The spice was right at the level, for me, of being too spicy, but was just right. The noodles were fresh, chewy, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was so delicious, but the real star was the pork belly. The pork pieces were THICK slices, succulent, and melted in your mouth. My one wish is that there was an Onoya back home in Phoenix. I would very much like to dine here over and over again. read more
