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

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!

Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen  & 4-piece Gyoza
Warrene C.

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.

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

Cold noodle with side of kimchi
Monz H.

The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. Our family eats here at least once a week, we love it. The food comes out quickly and we are never disappointed. The combo meals are such a good deal and always way more than enough food. Even their kimchi is so ono!

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.

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.

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!

Today *sigh* We sat immediately, there were about 2 tables dining in, so not crowded, seems like we missed the lunch crowd, which is nice. We ordered and I *bleep* u not, our food came out less than 10 mins *crying* I dont like to make a fuss, so We started plating our food. We got the house noodles, bitter melon w/pork, crispy fried chicken, marinated pork (red sauce) and steam buns.. House noodles-was warm, not hot just microwave warm. Thats my favorite so I was excited to dig in. One bite of the broccoli and I was disappointed:((( The broccoli tasted old and stale, everything else in the noodles was fine. Marinated pork-not hot again, microwave warm :(( Steam buns-nice and hot and that took a minute to come out Bitter melon-my husbabe enjoyed it Crispy fried chicken-now this what made me say something. that chicken tasted old and literally just warmed in the microwave. I called our waitress over spoke quietly and asked for a fresh batch of crispy chicken. They apologized, took the chicken and came out literally 5 mins later with the same chicken we gave back :((((((((( they literally dipped it in the oil and brought it right back out. Now did I see them do that? No, I did not. But did I know it was the same chicken YES i did bc I took a picture of the pieces and what it looked like and there was NOOOO way our FRESH chicken would come out in 5 mins and that thing didnt even taste fresh *crying* it was soaked in oil and we just didnt eat it. But of course we will be back bc during dinner the food is always great and fresh

Sometimes there's no taste, sometimes it's a surprise dish, receiving a different dish from what you ordered. Yes, the cashier points at different boxes and reads off the receipt, but they have no clue what is inside. Speaking of the cashier, there is a young Chinese girl with tattoos on her arm, who must think she's doing me a favor ordering food from there. She never smiles and is definitely not a people-person. And heaven forbid that you ask for chopsticks and an extra watered-down hot mustard. I spend at least $120 per order and the look she gives you, I feel like slapping it to knock some sense into her! Their business depends on us customers!

I decided to sit on 1 of the gray tables outside. It looks the same and it tastes good like in the past. The Roast Pork was big pieces, soft and juicy too!

Their lunch plate is $17.50 without upgrades and comes with your choice of meat, two scoops rice, cabbage, and a gaugee. You can upgrade for $1 to fried rice or cake noodle or combo meat. The lunch plate is more expensive than the one at Mei Mei but it's twice the size and can feed two not starving people. I came around after 1230p and they had already run out of fried rice which was sad, I think the guy in front of me may have gotten the last order! So definitely go on the earlier side of lunch if you want to make sure they have everything you want. This is located on the second floor of the shopping center above Times (same level as McDonald's), just at the top of the escalators. Take out only. Place your order with the nice lady at the front, then wait until she calls your order out to pick up and pay. At peak lunch hour this can take 5 to 7 minutes. Credit card surcharge. There are a few shady tables on the second floor patio you can sit at to eat.
