    Egg drop soup
    Elizabeth V.

    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

    Chicken Katsu Curry Ramen (highly recommended) Oxtail Ramen (pass) with s/o Mochiko Chicken (get it)

    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.

    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!

    First time dining in. Ordered the Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen with a 4-piece Gyoza . Very delicious and filling. Service was friendly and fast. Restaurant was spacious, nice atmosphere. Very affordable! Will definitely come back again!

    Combo meals: gyoza, fried rice, chicken katsu curry and ramen

    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.

    5-16-22  perfect to try today

    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...

    Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice
    Julius A.

    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

    Spicy beef ramen
    Nicole Y.

    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.

    Do they serve alcohol or can you bring in your own?

    They do not serve alcohol but I don't see why you can't bring in your own to enjoy

    Is there msg in the ramen broth?

    Doubt it. While my personal taste would prefer a notch spicier on Spicy Beef, was addictingly tasty. You didn't ask, but the noodle in Ma Po Tofu caked up on carryout, requiring a knife and fork -- almost. Bon appetit!

The Staff is friendly and they do crank our orders pretty fast. It's a pretty small place inside and they don't offer much sitting space, so it's definitely a grab and go situation. It seems that they used to offer food but did away with it. Price is a little high both drinks average about $14-$16 just depending on the toppings but we do love the quality of toppings and syrups used. They do take card and offer a rewards program.

I've seen Coffee or Tea? whenever I'm in the area but really have the hardest time finding parking at this Crossroads at Waipio complex which is probably why the limit customer parking to 30 minutes to be fair but then that leaves you little time to sit and relax as they do have some tables inside to do so. After finishing at Car Wash 808 Express I though to give it a try and was lucky enough to get a parking and knew it was meant to be as I walked in liked what I saw inside as it's nice and clean and quite spacious and had many of the snacks and treats to choose from as well. I did notice their featured drinks and the Honey & Lemon Black Tea which sounded exactly what I needed and though I'm able to adjust the sweetness and ice level as well is nice to enjoy my drink, the staff made it very fast and efficient giving me lots of time to run over to Golden Coin for some lunch as well. Love this cozy spot though the time limit does deter me from visiting here as I do like to sit and enjoy my tea sometimes as well. Thank you!

All other toppings, boba, jellies, ice cream are additional charge. Dine in amongst floating tables and stools or to go. One listened and engaged in conversations of Q&A. Other prepared and made the beverage. I loved how the two employees worked cohesively as a team and demonstrated social graces. Loved every sip of Wahiawā Sakura Iced Milk Tea with Jasmine tea, walls of cup drizzled with sweetened condensed milk, dairy powder milk, and 25% sweetness! Tasted best consumed unstirred. Let the sweetened condensed milk do their work and magic. Perfect picker upper before workout. This location also sells guava cake with triple layer pink, yellow and green. I didn't see or inquire about price for that item. There's also assorted macarons sold for one piece at $2.99. Will definitely return for Hokkaido Hot and Iced Milk Tea, White Rabbit Frappe. Dubai Chocolate Frappe also sounds amazing! Second visit: I returned the following day due to humidity in afternoon. Two different employees, female and male were very attentive and provided great suggestions to my Q & A regarding White Rabbit Frappe and Hokkaido Milk Iced Tea. I chose Hokkaido with 100% Organic Coocnut Milk Iced Tea. Female employee asked me how much sweetness I wanted in my beverage. I responded, "25%" She informed me that the lowest sweetness they're able to give is 50%. I said, "Ok." Tasted perfect with a light sweetness. Beverage came in handy prior to workout. I can count on superb customer service, free parking, easy commute access, and photo op.

Help yourself to plastic covered spoon and napkins at the counter. When I stood up and about to exit, male employee said, "Thank you. Have a nice day. " I said, "You're welcome." There's no description of ingredients posted on menu. Obvious ingredients are six Thai tea ice cream rolls, whipped cream, diagonally placed graham cracker, drizzled caramel. I would've informed the employee immediately if I had known there would've been a few tiny pieces of teddy chocolate filled grahams. It was hiding inside and under whipped cream. My face hived afterward and later went away that afternoon. Next time, I will ask for the ingredients in advance. Otherwise, dessert was yummy. There's a 3% surcharge if paying with credit card which I wasn't informed until I noticed it on my printed receipt. Half of the orders were to go and dine in. This place has potential to improve with the following: cleaning, wiping down tables and leather chairs. I can spot the stains. Plus removing all dust above the three outer light fixtures. Other options besides boba beverages, ice cream rolls and snacks include a couple of clawsters games, lanyards, Sanrio items, and other miscellaneous items. Lego wall is creative.

I don't get to the Waipio location often, as I'm generally in the area only to shop at Foodland, grab a burger at Big City Diner, or a plate of lechon at Shay's, so an extravagant drink is the farthest thing from my thoughts. That changed last week when I saw a photo of the drink that called out to me, a Mango Sticky Rice Smoothie. Suddenly al other meals were put on hold, and there was only one possible way to get through my day- follow the siren's song straight into this small but sweet boba shop! Sure enough, this smoothie was completely worth the visit, and will probably bring me back again before it is gone. The smoothie was a simple mango cream with some coconut, but it sat atop a scoop of still warm Thai sticky rice and under a scoop of diced mango, which had of c ourselves been drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. The only thing it was a missing was a salty element, so I added a sprinkle of flaky salt once I made it home. I was only there for a short visit, but the employees were so very sweet to me and to the other customers there with me that day. If you find yourself wanting a sweet treat and are anywhere near Waipio, Teapresso is a fantastic choice for your time and money.
