    Build your Own Meal Choice Combo
    Arrianna S.

    Staff is quick and nice and food is so affordable its CRAZY. $20 combo meal could definitely feed 2 people and make you FULL. Always nice to get a comfort meal here.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Keoni B.

    I was looking for good ramen place near the house. This one had 4 stars so I figured it was good. It was not. The mapo tofu was ok and the Thai tea was good. The gyoza was actually really good. That's where it ends. The char siu they put in the ramen was tuff. It was either old or overcooked but it was bad. The Ajitsuke Tamago (egg) yolk was hard. The broth in the tonkotsu was not good at all. The flavor was awful. My son who loves tonkotsu normally drinks all the broth only ate the noodles. I also tried the broth and it's probably the worst I've had. I would rather have the tonkotsu bowl at Costco. The char siu ramen my daughter had wasn't much better. Same issues with the char siu itself and the broth was very boring. My mom ordered the chicken katsu curry and it was a let down too. Although the curry itself had good flavor, the rice was very dry and there was not nearly enough curry. We really love ramen and was very disappointed. The service on the other hand was good. The food came out quickly and staff was friendly. The restaurant was small but clean.

    Sesame Mochi Bolls
    Angela L.

    I thought this place would be a 3-3.5 star, as soon as I tasted their Tantan noodle. However I changed my mind after eating their sesame mochi balls!! Maybe it was just out of the pan and it tastes sooooo goooood! Best that I've ever tasted. Hubby says this is his childhood place when growing up, and he always ordered the same thing - combo number 1, curry katsu and ramen. I agree with him, the katsu was pretty good, crispy on the outside and juicy on the outside. It's just this tan tan noodle was a bit off - maybe it was an innovation, however I was expecting sesame crusts to be more authentic. Staff was friendly and efficient. This place starts quiet. While gets more crowded for lunch as the time past noon. Seems a popular spot in the neighborhood.

    Mini combo $15
    Jazlene T.

    I ordered from Ramen-Ya on Doordash and they came through! It arrived pretty fast and the mini combo I ordered consisted of Mochiko Chicken, white rice, mac salad, Gyoza, & mini Shoyu ramen with noodles. I like how they separated the noodles from the soup and put it on the side. Everything was at the right temperature too and the portion sizing was big for a decent price. I would for sure come again. Yummm I will say the chicken was kinda hard to chew from what I remember, but I can't complain the ramen was perfect and I loved the broth. Affordable & delicious. I've never eaten inside so I'm basing this off delivery service. Gyoza - 7/10 Ramen - 10/10 Mochiko Chicken - 8/10

    Had a craving for some ramen-unfortunately this bowl did not hit the spot. It was a hearty serving but the flavor was a little off. I'm willing to try out another flavored dish next time around.

    Dry chicken katsu curry
    Chelsea J.

    Ordered chicken katsu curry for delivery. They put the curry on the rice so all the curry got soaked up by the rice and the chicken was dry.

    Ramen Ya is a great ramen shop! This review specifically is for the Tan Tan Ramen. Ever since trying Tan Tan ramen at Goma Tei, my taste buds have opened up to flavorful and delicious tasting ramen. So i wanted to compare the two. The bowls are around the same price but are way different than each other. The broth is good with the noodles. Veggies aren't astounding. Not much of a veggie fan so. If it went well together I could tolerate it but I would rather just eat the noodles and meat. The char siu meat was really hard to bite and chew, it hurt my jaw just chewing on it. I was really excited to try out tan tan ramen here because my expectations were met by another ramen shop and it just didn't satisfy as much as the other shop did. Also I ordered a side of chicken katsu and was given the tiniest container of katsu sauce. When I saw it, I won't lie, my mouth dropped. I didn't know whether to laugh at how tiny it was(It was like the size of a quarter) or be upset that I have to ration my sauce with all this chicken I have. That tiny container was enough for one piece of chicken katsu. I saved it for my leftovers so I could head to the store and get my katsu sauce so I can enjoy it more. I still love and will continue to eat at Ramen Ya. Other restaurants have their own great, special food that make you want to come back and enjoy. Tan Tan ramen isn't one of them. But regardless, Ramen Ya offers the best combo meal by far on this island! And I have to give it to them for that. I'd rather come here for a great tasting mini ramen combo with chicken katsu curry and their delicious gyoza!

    This place was highly recommended to us by my family. We dined here for a late lunch. This was…read moregoing to be one of our last meals on the island before heading back to the mainland. Not too far from the resort that we were staying at. This was located in a mini shopping mall. We were the only ones dining in there at the time. Service was okay, we did take some time to decide. Our waitress kept coming at us; like are you ready yet?! As if we had been there before. But again, this was our first time. Anyhow, I didn't see the lunch combo on the menu. It was something that was taped to the wall at our table. It included an appetizer with the ramen for a reasonable price. We opted for that choice instead. We both had the Tanaka Rich Garlic Ramen (which was very flavorful), one of the appetizers we had was Karaage Chicken (crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce) and the other was Pork Gyoza. Everything was good and filled us up quickly. We will have to try it again another day when we are back on the island.

I have to say the garlic oil miso ramen and the karage don were the stars! The flavor was amazing and the ramen noodles were perfectly chewy and toothful. The karage was crispy and very crunchy! Not very greasy at all! The location is a strip mall and by 8pm someone was playing music at top volume from a car - but the ramen spot was still packed. Would totally come again while staying in Kapolei!!

We had a table for 10 on a Tuesday and ordered a few pitchers of beer to go along with the agedashi tofu, crispy French fries and ahi poke nachos.

There is a wide selection of dishes, including starters, sushi, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, plates, and bowls. Besides sharing a pitcher of beer, my tablemate ordered the Pastrami Sandwich and I had the Korean Fried Chicken. My plate came with rice and mac salad, but I asked for French Fries in place of the rice. Alas, I got a plate with rice and fries. Sigh. The pastrami sandwich comes with a choice of fries, mac, or green salad. My tablemate opted for the mac salad. Except for the faux pas on my dish, the food was well presented and prepared properly. Service was fine and the prices reasonable being that it's 2024. My primary quibble is their hours of operation. 11am on weekdays and 10am on weekends is too late for a golf course restaurant. They have a breakfast menu but why bother? Our tee time was at 6:40am so we had to find breakfast elsewhere. My other quibble is the limited choice in beer by the pitcher ... Bud Lite? The restaurant is nice and it could be so much more ... a conditional recommendation for now.

    Wagyu? All-you-can-eat? Count me in! As big fans of Shabuya,…read morewe were intrigued at the idea of higher end hot pot at a higher end price. AYCE hot pot just warms the soul in a different way, and adding in some of the richest, fattiest cuts of meat? How can you go wrong! For a two birthday celebration, we called ahead of time to reserve a table for six. I had to call a day before our visit to reduce the head count and they were more than accommodating. When we arrived early, they seated us right away, and came around quite often to take orders. There's a 90 minute time limit, but after 90 minutes our server said oh you have 30 more if you'd like. Top notch service all around. Gyu Masu melds right into the architecture of Hilton Embassy Suites, adopting the contemporary elegance of modern hotel styling. It's very clean and quiet. The AC was a little strong, but I can imagine it would be a refreshing escape from hotter Kapolei nights. The little table got pretty tight with a full shabu shabu setup, so make sure you stack up your empty plates for service. Street parking is pretty easy out front, or find the second floor marked stalls behind the hotel. There were seven cuts of wagyu to try, and you can order four at a time. The cuts are much thicker than other hot pot places, which we loved. Here's what we thought: - Top Sirloin Butt - Had a fat line that tensed up and got noticeably tough compared to other cuts. Decent flavor. - Top Round - My favorite, perfect balance of marbling and flavor. - Short Plate - Thick fat cut that was just way too fatty for us. - Short Rib - Wow, very distinct flavor and great marbling that was an overall favorite. - Outside Skirt - Similar to short plate, so fatty and too rich. - Brisket - Fatty marbled meat, thin and tender. A bit too rich for us. - Chuck Roll - The least fatty and beefiest in flavor. Not my favorite but popular with those that like the beef! We skipped the extra cost cuts, which I'm sure are amazing, but the included meats were plenty rich and decadent. We honed in on a couple favorite cuts and reordered those throughout our meal. You can get up to two broths per pot, and we settled on miso and spicy garlic. They add wagyu tallow for amazing depth of flavor, and be careful with the spicy variants - it's got more kick than most places. Loved the broth here. Also note that they add tofu, bokchoy, cabbage, and mushroom to the broth, so you can skip those in your first round. Gotta say, the nabe ingredients do feel a little lacking compared to other places. "Mixed Mushrooms" were only quartered brown mushrooms - would be nice to have oyster, wood ear, or seafood mushrooms mixed in. Ramen, udon, and rice are staple starch options, but nothing special here like fresh or konjac noodles. Fish and shrimp are awesome options, but I regretted getting even one order of salmon, it was way too much (like a big 6in filet). The cooked kitchen items are also mostly a trap. Be very careful about what you order, it's probably better to focus on the shabu wagyu for value. We had a couple of good items but were disappointed in others. - Wagyu Pupu Steak - DELISH. Not the most tender, but absolutely popping with flavor and garnished with zesty green onions. - Fried Shrimp Dumplings - Brah these shumai have big, juicy shrimp pieces and are fried til the wrappers are nice and crispy. Recommend. - Ahi Poke - Previously frozen and stringy. The sauce was good, but the icy, low quality fish was not. - Lemon Ginger Opakapaka - Dry, hard, severely overcooked. The seasoning has a strong artificial flavor. Skip this one. You also get a free soft drink, which includes a variety of lemonade/limeade mixes. The limeades were very sour, and we had lilikoi, strawberry, and li hing flavors. Wonderful perk. They also brought out slices of Japanese Style Souffle Cheesecake, two since we had two birthdays! Very light and fluffy texture with a rich and smooth cheesecake flavor, enhanced by a honey sauce that is brighter and sweeter than most. Very generous, as these are normally $5.50 per slice, but we would absolutely pay full price to get these again. At $65 per person, it's a great deal, considering how many different wagyu cuts we got to try, and how many extra side options they have. It's an indulgent experience that is hard to treat like traditional hot pot, as the meat is exquisitely rich and hard to eat mountains of. I can't see it being a regular dining choice, but it's absolutely a worthwhile journey for special celebrations, or simply exploring high-end dishes at an affordable price.

    Friendly waitress. But food was not worth it…read more The shrimp tempura was undercooked and we ate raw batter. Salmon plate was ok. The ramen bowls lacked flavor and noodles were overcooked. The menu offering now is completely different than what is shown on online reviews.
