My daughter and I like to order the Shiro Wagaya Ramen and my husband loves the Garlic Wagaya (Kuro) ramen. We also like to order the corn tempura as an appetizer. The restaurant itself is not so big but fits quite a good amount of people. The workers are very friendly and accommodating. You can also order your food through a QR code and pay online when you're done. There are also restrooms onsite. Parking is still small and can fill up when it's busy (you also aren't allowed to park in the Church parking lot) If you haven't eaten here before, I would suggest looking on their website at the waitlist to see how many people are on there prior to going there as they can get really busy. You can also put your name on the waitlist online so you don't have to do it on site. They have a really good text messaging system letting you know when your table is almost ready.

Great for authentic ramen and tsukamen with a small, the intimate ramen shop appeal. I've seen…read moreWagaya on TikTok a lot recently and was happy that I put this on my list of places to visit while on the island. The appetizers were pretty good. I enjoyed the sweet and savory flavor of the agedashi tofu but was a little underwhelmed with the ahi belly. I was excepting a slightly fattier cut of fish and wasn't anticipating onion on the skewer and felt it didn't pair well with the fish (personally). I'll definitely be back!

Authentic Ramen House!…read more First time back in ten years and happy to say they now have a vegetarian menu. We visited on Easter for dinner and got in without wait. The restaurant is small and counter seating is set up in a u-shape with the server in the middle. Be prepared to be seated next to strangers. It is a fun, social and casual vibe. We ordered the Miso Ramen and veggie dumplings. The noodles were the perfectly firm and the broth was seasoned on point. The dumplings were tasty. Service was quick and efficient. Turn over was fast. Prices were reasonable. If you're craving ramen, this is a solid spot.

Coming to Hawaii I was nervous about potentially limited vegan options. During a walk we stumbled…read moreacross this place and were completely shocked by the popularity and pricing of this restaurant! We noticed that they had a dedicated vegan option; a TanTan Udon, that contained a creamy & spicy sesame broth with boiled vegetables, (cabbage, broccoli & carrots) green onions, crispy fried onions, as well as a plant based soy meat crumble. Decided to head inside and it was set up almost as a cafeteria-like station, by getting your tray and asking which item you want by the numbering system listed on the screen. They also have self serve tempura options, however, I could not get a clear answer on whether or not the vegetable options of tempura were vegan friendly. They did not have the soy meat crumbles when I ordered, to which they offered the aburaage option, which is fried sweet tofu. So just keep in mind of that when visiting. The service was great, very kind and swift especially with constant customers. The ambiance was busy, lively, & fast paced with the amount of people going in and out. There is quite a bit of seating inside as well as outside. So all in all, just give this spot a try and you won't regret it.

I want to be greedy and not share this spot, but it's just too good not to share!…read more In my opinion, this is the best Ramen on the island. Food is delicious and they have vegetarian options. They are also pet friendly. It can be a little difficult with parking, cause it's just metered street parking. But that shouldn't stop you from trying out their delicious dishes.

TL;DR Good, but not…read moregreat, ramen. ----- I'm a little surprised by the current 4.5 rating for Junpuu. It's a solid ramen spot, but there is stark competition in the Honolulu ramen space, and I'm not sure if Junpuu is quite S-tier. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon for lunch and was able to find street parking right outside the entrance. There's validated parking for the building as well. I ordered the Potato Salad, Gyoza, and Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, all of which were satisfactory but not standout. My only direct knock is that my ramen dish did not come with an ajitama by default; I had to order one ala carte. That's unfortunate. While the food was relatively good, I don't see myself returning to Junpuu when there are so many great other options nearby.

On this particular visit, it was a Wednesday night, 9:35 when we walked in just before their closing time. We had just come from enjoying a night of good vibes, good drinks and good vinyl tunes at EP Bar. Upon entering we were greeted kindly and offered any seat in the dining room. Place was extremely clean and comfortable. Service came around with water and gave us a minute to look over the menus. He returned shortly and orders were placed. 15 to 20 minutes tops, the food came out. What we Order? - Crispy Duck Taco. 5/5 stars. Outstanding. For context I knowing that he's not much of a duck fan, had my son try them, but he LOVED them. "I'd totally order that again..." - Oxtail Dumpling. 5/5 stars. Savory - Lumpia 5/5 stars. Perfect fry. Wrap is crisp and light, fill is flavorful and delicious. - Bi Bim Bap 5/5. Overall, service is tops, prices are fair, every bit and bite of each plate was excellent. Such a gem in Chinatown. I always wonder why about the name of a restaurant. After dining at Lucky Belly, what a lucky belly indeed.

I've been here several times over the years. Despite being in the mall, it's on the outside ring…read moreand is very easily accessible without having to traverse the mall. Plenty of parking right out front and can always get a seat. The ramen is reliably good, but nothing special. I usually get the spicy tan tan with char siu. Good portion size and the broth has good flavor. The meat is hearty, but I wish it was a little more tender. Overall, it's good value. But I don't like how they charge you more for each level of spice and the "free" level 1-2 is not spicy. I also don't like that they charge you $3 for an egg. Come on... Other than that, it's a decent spot and good for groups. Definitely recommend if you're looking for ramen near ala Moana. I've never been to the other locations.

The most impressive part of the night was the reaction from my two daughters. They are typically very picky eaters, but they completely devoured the Tokyo Chicken ramen. My wife and I were just as impressed with our Spicy Tonkatsu and regular Tonkatsu bowls. The broth was remarkably rich and packed with complex flavors, while the chashu was a savory burst in every single bite. I live right near Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and have very high standards for what makes a good bowl of ramen, so I was honestly blown away by the quality here. The kids were so into the food that we even decided to grab an order of chicken karaage to go. The service was exceptionally attentive and the staff went out of their way to ensure our family had everything we needed. The ambiance was also fantastic and added to the overall experience. Regarding parking, it can be tough in Waikiki, but we found a convenient public garage right next to the hotel where the restaurant is located. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for top-tier ramen in Honolulu.

Walking is suggested and the primary mode of transportation while in Waikīkī. Must-Do: Sticky Ribs (say yes to the side of rice, thank me later) Ahi Tacos Tonkatsu Ramen Karaage (kids love it too) Sashimi (Hamachi is very nice cut) During different times of the day, you may encounter some wait time to be seated. You'll add yourself to the list. Varying from 20 minutes up to 45 minutes for a party of 4 or more. If you are patient, your tastebuds will certainly be rewarded. Consistency is key and Momosan puts this to practice day in day out. Attentive service, delicious food, great quality and a comfortable cozy dining experience. Outdoor seating allows you to enjoy the beauty of Waikiki beach. 8 years ago I brought my wife to our first taste of Momosan on a date, we were blown away by the flavors, freshness and quality of the ramen, the sashimi and the incomparable Sticky Ribs. Each and every visit has never failed to impress us still. To this day my kids now 12 am 14 years old, have added Momosan to their list of favorite restaurants.

The food is so good (kids approved!) and their lunch special prices are great especially if you're a local resident (Kama'aina). What we had: -Sizzling Wagyu Rice Lunch set which came with Kake Udon -Ahi Poke Don & Udon Set -Fries (their fries are actually really good!) I highly recommend trying this place when visiting the Royal Hawaiian Center! The service was great and the place is pretty casual, great for brunch!

That said, I think the portion size is still about the same. The truffle flavor in the udon is nicely balanced and not overpowering, and it comes with a generous amount of crab.

The service was standard and efficient, with no complaints at all. The restaurant itself is spacious and conveniently located inside the shopping mall, making it a great spot to grab lunch before or after shopping.
