Great first time experience! They have a Gyoza Happy Hour from 3-5pm to add to the already great prices and very generous portions. I had gotten the Chicken Katsu Curry Ramen, Husband had the Oxtail Ramen, and we shared the side order Mochiko Chicken. I thought the Mochiko Chicken was cooked to perfection and wasn't overly sweet. The Katsu Curry hit the spot! I did remove it so it wouldn't become too soggy as I knew it would be too much to finish and wanted to take it home. Husband said the Oxtail itself was bland BUT they gave a lot so it wasn't a complaint but he would probably try something else the next time. Service was friendly and fast. We noticed a lot of take out orders but I feel like since we ordered a lot of deep-fried foods it would be better enjoyed there along with the various condiments they provide at the table. There is a provided restroom and the parking lot is shared with a few other Businesses so it may get congested depending the time you come. It is pretty big inside and the tables are moveable to accommodate larger parties. read more

Rakumen - Chicken Katsu Curry Ramen (highly recommended) Oxtail Ramen (pass) with s/o Mochiko Chicken (get it) - Japanese Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Rakumen is hands down the best ramen shop in Mililani Mauka. The food is consistently delicious, with really affordable meal options that make it easy to come back often. Their ramen is flavorful and satisfying, but the Mochiko Chicken truly stood out--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and easily one of the best I've ever had. The customer service was fantastic as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the entire visit. Our water was refilled without even having to ask, which really shows the level of care they give their customers. Overall, Rakumen delivers great food, excellent service, and an awesome dining experience. Highly recommended! read more

Rakumen is always consistent. Food is good, service is ok, and ambiance is like a regular place to eat. If u go there before 5 then the gyoza is free so that's a plus. read more

I've yet to dine in since I always do take out. Service is great when you walk in and the staff is very attentive. The food is pretty good. I always go for the saimin/katsu curry combo. It's a great deal that also comes with gyoza. I don't recommend the oxtail soup as it's lacking some flavor and you could find better elsewhere. Check your rewards too as they have some promos that I receive through Cash App. read more

Located in a small shopping area and parking is limited close to the venue. Customer service was AMAZING! Food was good. Flavors differed from similar style restaurants in San Diego. Pricing is fair at this restaurant. We tried a couple of their combination meals as well as their side orders. Their combination meals is where it's at as far as best bang for your buck plus, it comes with gyoza! We ordered: Combination A meal w/fried rice - egg drop soup was more on the mild tasting side. More like a clean chicken broth with egg. Combination C with fried rice - fried rice was very delicious and flavorful Calamari - big rings cooked well but no tentacles. I wonder what they do with the tentacles... Mochicko chicken - fried kind chicken with a hint of sweetness Garlic chicken wings - a bit overkill of garlic for my liking. Wings cooked perfectly! Light crisp on the outside yet moist inside! We asked for fried gyoza - good read more

My family and I have been dining here since they opened in Mililani Mauka! Customer service is always quick! On busy nights, their food still comes out in a timely manner and always yummy! We like to order Combo A with either Chicken Katsu Curry, Fried Rice, or Mochiko Chicken. We tend to go home with leftovers! read more

Always so good here. Easy to order, phone or online. There's several tables there but I never dined in. Service is great,I had to wait and they accommodated me. The food is good!! Love that you can upgrade most orders. Change the ramen base or change to fried rice. Definitely recommend Rakumen. read more

If you're craving ramen with massive portions and great value, Rakumen in Mililani is a must-try! I ordered the Spicy Seafood Ramen, which was loaded with fresh seafood and had just the right amount of kick. We also went all out with Combo Set A, upgrading to the full-size Spicy Char Siu Ramen (so worth it!), and it came with perfectly crispy gyoza and flavorful spam curry. To top it off, we added their croquettes, which were golden, crunchy, and absolutely satisfying. The portions here are super generous--you'll definitely leave full--and the prices are unbeatable for the quality and quantity of food you get. Service was quick, and everything was served fresh and piping hot. The fried items especially were cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside and never greasy. If you're in Mililani, make sure to stop by Rakumen for hearty bowls of ramen, great sides, and a satisfying dining experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

Can't go wrong!! read more

We came after a long day and were super hungry. Its your standard ramen/curry shop, with good prices for satisfying food. Service was good too, a bit hasty but polite. Our waitress accidentally thought my friend ordered gyoza but he wanted charsiu--they corrected it quickly and we got a free gyoza out of it, so no complaints there lol. My gf and I got combos with gyoza and ramen, hers with a mini katsu curry and mine with mini fried rice. Portions were good, I even had some leftover fried rice. Gyoza had thin skins and nice crispy bottoms. I also tried my friends black garlic tonkotsu ramen, which I think was the best dish on our table. The broth was much richer and tastier than the mini shoyu ramen I got. While everything was good, not much stood out to me. The prices were good though, after tax and tip the total was about $100 for 5 people--about $20 per person and we were super satisfied. read more

Rakumen - Combo meals: gyoza, fried rice, chicken katsu curry and ramen - Japanese Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

A monthly coupon arrived for 15% off so I ordered on line a Black Garlic Tan tan ramen regular. Hubs thought the broth was spicy, but it was okay. I like how thin they cut their brownish char siu and the shoyu egg cut in two was fine. If you like SALTY then you'll enjoy the seaweed. It tasted like it was heavily doused and massaged with salt. Sorrily there was a generous amount of it that I was not able to eat. Perhaps I need to select something else tho' I'm still on the hunt for a good Tan Tan ramen. I should have gone with my first choice of side order calamari and side of curry... I'll know better... read more

If you're looking for flavor, this is the place to be! Let's start with the food. We ordered four dishes: Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice, Seafood Ramen, Spicy Kimchi Ramen, and Edamame. The ingredients were high quality and very fresh. We were served immediately after ordering; it seriously took only 7-10 minutes. My wife and I loved all of the food; they did not miss! Be ready to take some food home, as the portions were huge! The restaurant was clean and had a warm vibe. You can tell the workers really take pride in their work, and I want to thank them all for a great experience. Rakumen Rocked My World read more

Friend staff, great tasting food, and affordable prices makes this place worth checking out.

Rakumen has been our go-to for take out and we stopped in for dinner tonight as my kids requested ramen for dinner. The restaurant is spacious and for a Sunday evening, it wasn't too busy. Servers are friendly and the food comes to your table quickly. We ordered and enjoyed: Chicken Katsu curry rice Mochiko chicken Gyoza Black Garlic Oil TanTan Ramen Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen Spicy Beef Ramen We all enjoyed our flavorful dishes! We couldn't finish our meals so we ended up taking home leftovers. Delicious food and good service, I'm a fan! FYI Rakumen offers Free gyoza from 2-5 pm daily with your order. read more

Best local ramen place out there! Just sat down and ordered and got the food really fast. I was skeptical that it will be cheap and bad considering how fast it was to make. I love the place now and I will never stop eating the spicy beef ramen. The gyoza was really good. Owners/employees are very nice and have good customer service. I will recommend this place to people who are craving ramen. 5 stars read more

Rakumen is our go to spot for Ramen. My family loves getting the combo set A, garlic shrimp fried rice, mochiko chicken, chicken katsu curry rice, and my favorite is the char siu ramen. Service is always amazing and the workers are always so friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend if you need that ramen fix. read more

Maybe caught a bad day so might be different but I gonna be real outside of the decent deal and variety of drinks like boba I could've went to genki, ramen ya, Nagoya or Fukuya. I was kinda disappointed all around. Outside of quick seating and ordering food took outrageously long for the crowd inside at the time we arrived. They also got our order wrong forgetting a drink and both our ramens were super light on noodles with broth being bland outside of shoyu. Was kinda suprised the guy assigned to us didn't check as much as it took his coworker the host to do it and I loved her customer service kinda lifted it above the 1-2 I wanted to give atm. Like I said in the beginning a may have caught them after a rush or something but the service especially from our guy was unacceptable regardless. I'd give it a try during happy hour again but not a good start whatsoever. read more

Rakumen was great! The service, food quality, and portions were perfect. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

My daughter and I came here for lunch right after her doctor's appointment. It was in the same neighborhood so we decided to try this place out. It's similar to Ramen ya but my daughter said this place tastes better. The service was really fast. We decided to order because we knew what we wanted. My daughter got the milk tea with boba. She loves it. I just drank iced water. For our food, I got the ramen which came with the gyoza and a side. I picked fried rice. The fried rice was good. I enjoyed the gyoza. The ramen was good as well but I didn't load up on the soup. I was drinking more water. It was a hot day and felt dehydrated. Service was fast. Definitely a plus. Plenty of tables inside. It wasn't busy on a weekday afternoon. Parking is directly up front. I would come back again to try other items. Not bad. read more

Since discovering this restaurant a year and a half ago, we have been coming here frequently. We enjoy the ramen and the other food choices (mochiko chicken, katsu, shrimp tempura, noodle dishes, curry, etc). I always get boba tea as an after meal dessert. The staff have always been very courteous, especially Carmen and Grace. We enjoy going there whether to dine in or take out food. I highly recommend! read more

Shout out to RAKUMEN in Mililani Mauka. The food was fresh, quick and awesome. As fast as the food came SMASHED it. That "Combo A w/ Katsu Curry" was magical. Staff were kind, friendly and attentive. Restroom was clean too. In and out in less than 45 mins with great boba. The vibes were on point with the local music from maoli to J boog, etc. I cannot express how awesome the service was and the food was just as awesome. New go to spot in town. read more

The food was good. Wait help always nice. Good service. My go to place for some hot soup n side dishes. Thank you

This location of Rakumen (there are several) has always taken care of me whether it's for my own dine in experience; ordering out for myself, small groups, or larger groups (order made at least an hour or two in advance for a group of around 30); or making custom orders with the ingredients they have available for friends with specific dietary restrictions. Every time I've dined at Rakumen Mililani, I've been able to order anything on their menu with a few modifications to meet what my preferences were at the time. One example is to order the Black Garlic Oil Tantan Ramen with extra char siu included in the order. Another example is ordering Black Garlic Oil Ramen with cabbage replacing noodles for people who are on keto diets or diabetic. Final example is ordering for a friend who is pescatarian and restricting their carbohydrate intake with doing their Spicy Seafood Ramen replacing noodles with cabbage (cooked with the soup so the cabbage softens like noodles) and with a little Black Garlic Oil added in for extra flavor. This location has done all the modifications I've asked for and also accommodated my larger orders for 20 people or a little more with very little notice (an hour) and I'd recommend dining in with them when you want ramen at a decent price or if you're placing a large order in advance for takeout in the Mililani area. read more

Food was amazing and properly priced. We walked in 10 minutes before closing and they took care of us and didn't make us feel bad. Very welcoming and recommended multiple choices for us to choose from. Restaurant and bathroom was very clean and inviting. Best experience I've had in O'ahu. Will be returning here and recommending to everyone I know ! read more

Ramen back in 'Mauka...yay! After Mauka Chinese closed, I was sad. But with this ramen shop opening, now I'm happy again! Another place to have some nice, familiar ramen on the days we are too lazy to cook, or on a cold rainy day. Food us pretty much like the previous Ramen shop. With the passage of time and the current overall inflation, prices are a bit higher than before. Went early so it comes with free gyoza. So after eating that first, I got full and couldn't finish my ramen. But no problem, they gave me a nice take home container. Another option for us Mililanians! YAY! read more

Rakumen - Spicy seafood Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

I typically don't write yelp reviews that often but I felt that an honest opinion had to be given. As someone who eats in town often, it was my first time getting ramen in Mililani. My boyfriend and I went and ordered the combo sets that came with gyoza and curry. Gyoza was the best thing about the meal but even that had barely any flavor. Our ramens both came with an eyelash and little gnat inside which we tried to ignore but it definitely killed our appetite. Our stomaches felt weird after the meal and we knew we wouldn't be coming back again. The only reason for a 2 star is that the price for portion size is very reasonable and that it's unfortunately the only option for those who want ramen in Mililani. read more

Huge portions of ramen, and you can add an extra side or noodles, etc to your order, service was okay they were pretty busy so not too much interaction. There is a good amount of seating so everyone has room to sit and talk stories while eating. It's a nice place, parking within the center. It can be a little right pulling in and out so if you have a bigger vehicle make sure you have enough room to get out read more

This place was packed on this Saturday night when we went. Food was good as usual. And as usual there was too much food lol. We were so full and the was still lots of left over food to take home. Everyone was nice and friendly. Service was fast even though it was really busy. read more

Today's experience was a bit different. I mean same vibe, same food experience (REALLY GOOD) just different cashiers everytime. The servers are always the same. The best servers, they make you feel so welcome and so at home while making sure everything is correct and given to you at a timely matter. The cashiers are the ones always changing. When we first started it was always the same the 3 kids that were in high school / college. Then it was a really nice/ approachable lady who got to know who the customers were and who the regulars were. Now it's a local girl she seems overwhelmed and over it but then again I did come (10/17- 7:44pm) when it was busy so I understand. But overall I mean I'll always come back because of how great it is here. (: read more
