LOVE this place when we visit Kapolei. The restaurant is in the same parking lot as Foodland, so parking can be hard to find at peak times. Our usual must-gets: 1. 1-2 item combos which come with a small udon or ramen (it's not that small), and a choice of chicken katsu, curry rice, pork fried rice, fish katsu, and much more). 2. Beef Gyudon with rice 3. Fish katsu curry. Portions are big and food is delicious. If you come 2-5, they have a happy hour with free order if gyoza. On a Tuesday for dinner around 5:30, we were the first ones there and then the restaurant filled up by 6. Service is attentive and they brought out our food quickly. They also do a lot of take-out orders. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch during work. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived, so there was no wait, which was nice for a short break. The food was just okay but the prices seemed fair for the quality. The service was good and the staff were friendly. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking for a quick and casual meal. read more

Ramen Bones - Charsiu ramen - Noodles Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Ramen was pretty average. I ended up actually finding a 3in piece of metal wire in my bowl. Unfortunately will not be returning.

Setup like a common ramen shop, tables to accommodate parties of 4-6. Tantan ramen was hearty with bits of bamboo, 1/2 an egg & a few pieces of char siu. 4 pieces of fried mandoo were given as part of their happy hour special. Water refilled promptly. We weren't rushed to eat either. read more

I remember this spot having good ramen the last time I was here but that was 5 years ago! Maybe they were having an off day but the broth didn't have enough umami for the tonkotsu ramen. Gyoza and fried rice also lacked the umami flavor. There's potential but something was off here. Service was good and quick. However, I'll stick to my normal spot from now on. read more

We love a quick, tasty hearty meal & Ramen Bones is definitely that! Good food, quick service, soothing food and reasonable prices. Food portion is huge! I always order keiki (kids meal) and even that is a lot. We love their kimchi! I wish I could purchase it by the bottle it's so yummy! This will always be one of our go to places. read more

Never again. My 5 year old found this maggot swimming in their soy sauce bottle after we've eaten our food. Disgusting. Then they have the audacity to say they'll take off one item off as a discount. What in the actual world. I literally end up walking out. If you like these type of things served with your food, this is the place to be! read more

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE You could do far worse for ramen; this is a pretty solid bet if you've got a hankering for ramen and you're in the area! Note: there is no reiki menu here. === 2. FOOD Miso Ramen ($13.75) I shared this with my little guy and it was tasty without being too salty! Tonkatsu Ramen ($14.95) The broth was good; not super thick, but good enough to pass this taste test! Mochiko Chicken ($7.25) This side order included 6 pieces of tender chicken - yum! Mini 2 Combo ($16.25) We liked this one for value: tonkatsu ramen plus mini pork fried rice (yum!) an four pieces of gyoza - also yum! Fried Pork Chop Rice Plate ($18.45) Big portions - a little room much pork for me lol I asked for it to be served on pork fried rice and it was good. === 3. SERVICE Overall I suppose it's good - the first day we came in the service was reasonable - seated quickly, everything worked out well. The second day had slower service - perhaps there was only one cook working that day? It took a long time (23 mins for one dish). I conversed with the staff in English, but it sounds like they speak to each other in Mandarin - which could help those who speak it! === 4. ENVIRONMENT Interesting place - medium-dark wood theme, but it's clean and bright and comfortable for us to dine in. Wheelchairs and strollers may best be stationed at the front of the restaurant. Parking is in the ever-busy shopping complex lot out front! read more

The oxtail ramen was delicious. I was very impressed with the oxtail because it was so soft and tender. Sometimes when I order oxtail at restaurants it's not cooked enough but their oxtail was perfect. The ramen was nice and chewy and the broth with the ginger was so flavorful. It was raining and windy so the meal was perfect for this weather. read more

Best fried rice I've ever eaten. The food comes out pretty quick and always tastes good.

Ramen was good ... mochiko chicken needed to be marinated a bit longer. Waitress was very stoic with no personality just doing her job, nothing more nothing less. Restaurant is very clean! read more

They need to update their store hours. We rushed over here, got here by 9pm but they said the kitchen was closed. The hours listed say they close at 9:30pm. Be sure to call and check the hours before coming over. read more

The food is delicious our order of Ramen both are exceptional and came in quick but half of my order came kinda late, I ordered the combo with fried rice and gyoza. read more

Our 'second chance' visit did improve our opinion, so it does matter what you order here. Gyozas still excellent. Shrimp tempura horrible (NOT a tempura batter - heavy, crunchy deep fry). The spicy beef ramen was the best ramen we'd tried here by far - actually spicy, good chew on noodles, lots of veggies (though note, no broccoli, it does not look like their pic of it). The kimchi was good. And the Japanese curry pork cutlet was absolutely huge, and tasty. $54 pre-tip lunch for family of four. read more

Wrong order was given for take out. Same issues others had when I was reading reviews. The receipt is correct showing what I ordered for take out but I didn't get the right dish. I ordered the BLACK garlic ramen and just got this, see the photo. Extremely disappointed. Also the broth is on the saltier side as others have mentioned. read more

Realistically between a 3.5 - 4 star rating, depending on your preference, Ramen Bones is an incredibly fast serving ramen, udon, and rice dish restaurant that is more local flavor ramen than it is 100% authentic Japanese noodle shop. We showed up at 5:30 on a Sunday and were the first to sit for dinner rush. Ramen Bones is small inside and filled up with a small line within 30mins. It's no surprise why. We had a 4 gyoza plate come out within just a couple minutes of ordering. It was no fluke - a keiki ramen, tan tan ramen, ox tail soup, and curry katsu followed within 4-8 minutes. Our superhuman kitchen staff didn't skimp on the flavor either. Each dish was very flavorful, bordering on the saltier side of the spectrum but not excessively so. The flavors definitely won't be mistaken for the work of a 30yr Tokyo veteran but is rather good in its own regard - a different, translated, punched-up comfort version of a ramen shop. read more

Not sure what happened here.. The service is still fast and friendly, but the food tasted different from the last few times we've dined in. I hope today was an off day! First thing I need to comment on is the Tonkotsu Ramen. That bowl was hella salty :( and the more I ate and mixed it up, the worse it got. I had to stop eating after a while cuz it just wasn't tasting right. Behind the salt, the flavor was okay at best.. this bowl was served with 3pc chashu, bamboo shoots, kamaboko, nori, green onions, and a half boiled egg. Since we dined in between 2-5pm, this regular sized bowl of ramen came with free gyoza (4pc). Unfortunately, the gyoza was leaking so much oil, it was like mush and fell apart once I grabbed it. My wife ordered her usual Miso Ramen Combo. This set comes with 4pc gyoza and is disqualified from the free ones during happy hour. Her miso broth was still good, but the fried rice was drenched in oil and to me, it was pretty unappetizing and had a weird flavor because of the oiliness. (Note: I usually love this fried rice) She ordered her gyoza deep fried and it was fried well... I should've done that, but oh well. With that said, I'm sure we'll still give Ramen Bones another visit or two... just hope things go back to normal and their chef gets the oil thing under control. **Fingers crossed!** read more

Lots of improvements needed! Sadly, you know today is a rainy day so why not try out a simple ramen spot in Kapolei. I love ramen and I know some really great places such as Manichi Ramen located by Alamoana mall also Golden pork tonkatsu on king street. As for this one poor service everything came out late. The chicken katsu was old hard and thin barely any chicken. Ordered a Pepsi and they give me a warm can with a cup of ice, at least keep the can in the refrigerator omg. The ramen wasn't good I ordered tan tan with extra egg and char siu came only with char siu no egg at all. Overall experience negative, customer service bad. It's sad i really don't like to give bad reviews but you have to for others. read more

Is it me or has this place become what daiichi use to be??? I mean that in every good way, cause Daiichi "was" good back in the day...anyways though I was craving shrimp fried rice and shrimp katsu and to my surprise they make the shrimp katsu the OG way that daiichi use to make it and the shrimp fried rice was everything I imagined it to be. It really reminded me of when the original daiichi was still in Aiea next to young's kal-bee. RAMEN BONES!! I salute you for making your shrimp katsu the way I remember it being made and having it taste just the way it should!! This is the spot to go if you want to do your take out orders for shrimp fried rice and shrimp katsu!! The portion is absolutely chefs kiss and I couldn't have been more happier and satisfied I literally did my little happy food wiggle when i was eating my food LOL (it was a hard craving I was having so everything hit the spot) Just alittle heads up If you are taking out I would call in to place your order the online way doesn't seem to have all the options. My usually is shrimp katsu plate with shrimp fried rice instead of regular white rice, which the online service doesn't give you that option. Anywho I appreciate Ramen Bones for being in business to satisfy my craving of shrimp katsu and shrimp fried rice lol this place will always be the place I go for now on!! read more

The food is great. A lot of flavor and quick to serve. The location is small but is inviting and a great place to eat. I highly recommended this place. read more

If you're hungry and looking for more bang for your buck, Ramen Bones is the place to check out! This cozy spot in Kapolei offers a delightful alternative for the same amount as a McDonald's meal. This past Saturday, I decided to try their combo set, which includes your choice of ramen or udon and two side dishes--all for less than $17! The staff was incredibly efficient, even during the busy dinner rush. I opted for the black garlic udon, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and flavorful. For my sides, I went with the classic chicken katsu and fried rice. The crispy katsu paired wonderfully with the fried rice. By the end of the meal, I was patting my belly--I was that full! Definitely delivers on taste, value, and service. Next time you're in Kapolei, stop by! read more

I'll start by saying I'm so sad I didn't snap any pictures to remember this place because the food was THAT good! Unfortunately, I didn't get to dine in as this was an Uber order but when your food is delivered and still tastes amazing - I think that says a lot! We ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Spicy Shoyu Ramen and I just wish I could eat more of it! The noodles were my absolute favorites from all that I've tried. They have just a bit of a bite to them and aren't so thin so they are the perfect style of noodle to me. The ramen was flavorful without being too spicy or salty. I also ordered a side of chicken katsu which I added to my ramen and the chicken was to die for! Wow - totally wishing I could travel back to Hawaii just to eat Ramen Bones again! read more

We were in the mood for some ramen and curry so we were happy Ramen Bones was able to provide both. It was pretty empty when we came so it was nice to be seated immediately. The vibe inside was like a mini ramen shop which was very fitting. We ordered a few things. First, we got their 2 choice combo which consist of a mini ramen with your choice of broth, and two sides of your choice. I went with the black garlic ramen with the mini curry and chicken katsu ($15.25). Next, we ordered the tonkotsu combo which comes with 4 pieces of gyoza ($16.25). For sides, we ordered fried shumai and we got more than the 6 pieces showed on the menu ($7.25). The food literally came out right after we ordered. First was the ramen, then the rice plates and lastly the fried items. One of my favorite parts was the garlic bits they have on the table. It's a nice additional to your ramen. The tonkotsu broth was very tasty and the garlic broth is a must if you love garlic. The chicken katsu was crispy and the chicken was tender. I also love their fried rice. The portion size is enough to fill you up and has that fried rice taste that many ramen stores have. Overall, the food was great. Many different ramen and rice bowls to choose from to satisfy your cravings. There's also a variety of sides you can order to go with your ramen. Price is a bit higher than other places but portion and taste makes it worth the price. Service is quick and staff check up on you. read more

My daughter and I decided to come here cause she told me her classmates mom works there. We came in for an early dinner Bec my daughter didn't want to eat at the mall. My daughter ordered the wonton ramen and she loved it. I decided on the mochico chicken with rice. I wanted the keiki size but she gave me too much rice that I couldn't finish it. The ladies working here were really nice and my daughter's friend was helping clean up tables and gave out iced waters. The iced waters were refreshing and I literally had 3 cups of water because I was so dehydrated. Food was delicious. The mochico chicken came out hot. Rice was perfect. There's a restroom in the back which was pretty clean. I would definitely come back to try other food items. Located inside a shopping center close to Foodland. Parking is up front and towards the back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. The portions were generous especially the chicken curry katsu. We ordered the black garlic ramen, char Siu ramen, spicy shoyu tonkatsu and the chicken curry katsu. The chicken curry katsu was the dish that really surprised us because it had lots of chicken and rice! This was enough to feed 2 people. Service was really good.

She filled our cups of water a couple of times and she checked on us several times. $15 for each of our items felt like a good value for the portions we received. read more
