    Terrible mini curry gyoza
    Dean H.

    The combo A - mini gyoza Curry and shoyu ramen was terrible. Don't get that unless you want to be disappointed. The rice was mushy and it was a small scoop of curry. It was also put together when it was a takeout order. This is ok but as u can see the rice absorbed the curry. See picture. The shoyu ramen was just ok. The mabo tofu was ok for generic mabo tofu but again it was just ok. At least the rice was ok and they packed the mapo separate. They included a 4 piece gyoza which was mushy and very soggy. Bad. What was the kicker for me , was that they charged $33 for both orders. I am not an alien that just landed in Hawaii so I know they gotta charge what they charge but for the quality they serve that is theft. We rarely go to "generic" ramen places but we decided to go cause my wife wasn't feeling well and wanted udon or ramen. Big mistake. We have avoided this particular place for 4 years while we lived close by. For some reason we decided to give this place a chance. To be fair, I have had food from other ramen ya and it wasn't nearly as bad as this. We will not return, ever.

    My review is really a 3.5, 4.5 for service, and 3.0 to 4.0 for the food. It was pouring rain when we picked up daughter and SIL from the airport. They wanted rice and SIL suggested this Ramen-Ya since it was the closest fast place to eat without driving elsewhere because the traffic on the freeway was very heavy. Service was quick and very good. Staff are friendly and helpful. It was crowded but they took care of us rather quickly, considering. Menu is the usual Ramen-Ya fare. SIL got the katsu curry. It was HUGE! The plate was full of rice and had a large serving of tonkatsu. He said it was good and while he can usually finish everything, he left a little this time. Hubby had the tonkotsu ramen and finished it, said it was good. Daughter had a combo (A?) with ramen, gyoza, and fried gyoza curry on rice. She said it was good. Gyoza was the usual, fried gyoza looked great. I had the black garlic ramen. It was delicious, with plenty of crispy fried garlic, except for the egg - it was hard boiled! (Hubby's was, too but since he gave it to me he didn't care.) Other than the disappointing hard boiled egg, everything was good. But hard boiled was a spoiler for me. (I read someone else's review after and they mentioned the hard boiled egg, too). Would come here again if I had to, but there are other places to eat in Moanalua Shopping Center that I'd choose first.

    Taste and quality is good, the only thing is that they give a lot of rice in the plate. If you get a ramen set, it's basically 2 meals and everything tastes good.

    10/10 I love going to Ramen-Ya and this time was no different. My friend and I were feeling a bit under the weather and decided some soup was the way to go. I got the egg soup and a green tea, she got fried rice and miso soup. It hit the spot as it always does. I get something different every time I come and it never disappoints. The servers are always so kind and fast at getting to you and never make you feel forgotten or crowded. The ambiance is cozy, it's cold but the soup will warm you right up.

    Mochiko chicken, sub white rice for fried rice to share (-:

    Family friendly restaurant, great for picky eaters too! Kids love anything crispy and fried rice. We were seated right away, wasn't too busy around 7pm. Waiter checked on us often for refills or needed anything. Food and service was great!

    Chicken katsu with fried rice

    Go hungry! They give you so much food! Fast service and very attentive. I'm always satisfied every time I eat here.

    I got the meal deal for $19, which included the gyoza, a bowl of ramen and the chicken katsu curry. I was quite impressed with the quantity of food.

    Ramen--Ya is a solid affordable, super large portions, with quick service restaurant/takeout place. The food is delicious and comes out quickly, and definitely appeals to the hungry military and working class population in the area. The shop itself is small and the parking spaces are tiny, but the turnover is quite quick. We love the black garlic ramen, seafood ramen, gyoza and Mapo tofu, but have also tried their rice dishes and curries. Heads up, it is $0.60 for a takeout container, but unless you're as ravenous as my grandfather is, you'll probably need it.

    Combo Set A ( this is the side: chicken katsu curry, sub white rice for fried rice)
    Kevin B.

    Seated immediately, wasn't too busy especially on a Sunday. * they have happy hour for goyza, they just don't have a sign anymore, but ask to confirm!" Ordered combo set A with chicken katsu curry, fried rice to share with the kids. Tonkatsu was good, broth is rich!

    Dropped the chicken on the ground, and put it in with the other cut chicken in the container with "extra seasoning".
    Cora J.

    Service was okay. But for the food, I would probably rethink of eating anything that has chicken for a while from this place or maybe not eat here at all. So we seen them cutting the raw chicken, and I really thought to myself, what would they do if one piece dropped? Well we watched once piece of raw chicken dropped on the floor and it went straight into the CONTAINER of cut chicken!!! No, didn't rinse with water, just straight from the floor to that food container!!! I guess there was extra seasoning! Couldn't even throw one piece of chicken that fell on the ground in the trash. There's no video, cause it was caught off guard, and as soon as it dropped she picked it up and put it into the container with the other cut raw chicken.

    Shrimp tempura curry rice tho
    Samantha D.

    I called in an order for pick up at 10:30, food was done and ready for me when I arrived shortly after 10:45. Staff was friendly and quick! Tempura shrimp curry over rice - great flavor, large portion. My only complaint is the rice to curry ratio was really off. I was given about 5 scoops of rice (filled the entire base of a large takeout container) and maybe one scoop of curry on top. I was full off of the top layer of curry rice tho! Tonkatsu ramen- can never go wrong with this one, the broth is flavorful and delicious Shumai- OMG SO GOOD They were perfectly cooked, with a zesty kind of tartar sauce aioli. In love with these.

    To-go Ramen with the combo!
    Madison G.

    I can't believe that this meal was less than 20 bucks!! (Or $20 with a to-go tip!) The food was very good, it took less than 10 min from the time I ordered until they had my food ready, and I'm so satisfied! Easy, fast and yummy!

    Russ L.

    Mother Queen wanted Ramen but she doesn't fell like driving during rush hour. Ramen Ya is convenient for us, just a short drive. The staff here are warm and friendly. They prices here are reasonable especially the combo set. The Ramen is not the best I've had, but it's satisfying. Clean and organized dining area. Also plenty of parking.

    Fried oyster! Yum!

The sauce to dip the noodles in was good. It was flavorful, salty, and sweet. My wife had a bowl of ramen. I got to try the soup and it tasted really good. I also like how thick it was. I don't like thin soup on my ramen, so this I really liked. My daughter was gulping down her noodles... just shoving it into her mouth. That is a huge thing for me because she's picky with food. We also had the potato mochi. I also liked that one. It had good texture, crunch, and chew. It was brushed with a glaze. The flavor was good. I'm not a chicken karaage guy. But I'm mentioning it because we ordered it. The chicken karaage were good chunks of chicken. Not like other places who give small chunks. My wife liked it because it had more chicken than batter. Service - The Place had good service. The food came out on time. Servers were checking up on us without hovering or being overbearing. They paid attention when we called asking for help. I was listening to the workers, and they seem to like being there. I mean, "work is work", and no one REALLY LIKES going to work. I'm pretty sure we'd all rather be someplace else besides work. Maybe I caught them in a good mood, but, it genuinely seemed like the moral in the place was good and the people working there that night didn't mind being there. Vibe - Small, family vibe. I liked that there was buzz but it wasn't loud. When we came, most of the people there were older, but as we left later in the evening, a more younger crowd started lining up and coming in. That tells me, they appeal to a wide demographic/pallet, which is good. Overall, it's going on the list of places to go back to and recommend. I don't really like going to ramen places during the summer because it's hot. But I would go here.

    Happy to hear that Kamitoku Ramen from Ward Centre relocated to South Shore Market (previously…read moreoccupied by Scratch Kitchen). They are currently exploring a new concept, which is a bit different from what it used to be. There's quite a bit of items missing from their old menu, but they have included new dishes to try. I got their Beefy Gold which has a lighter broth. I also ordered a side of yuzu peel & juice, reminiscent of the yuzu shio ramen. I'd say that the broth is pretty good (light broth is gentle to the stomach), and the noodles were cooked well. You'll probably miss the fatty chunk of charsiu, but they now have pulled beef charsiu instead which is stringy and just as flavorful :) Service was friendly as always and they were very attentive to our needs. Ambiance is a bit more upscale than their previous Ward location, and definitely larger. Will come back again to try their Otoko-Meshi items, overall just glad that they're back!

    First time going to their new location at Ward…read more The menu has considerably removed many items with just a few ramen options compared to before. They also changed the recipe for the worse. Not as creamy as it was and now using shredded beef instead of the generous whole portions of beef...the fatty part of the beef added to the flavor. Now it's just dry shredded beef like you would get in a burrito. Ordered the Seabara and didn't even have the back fat which it's known for. The vibe is totally off too. Gone are the Japanese posters, decorations and jpop playing in the background. And also noticed not one Japanese national working there...makes me think new owners?? Sadly another once great restaurant that has become crap. Also bad idea on moving there...the former Scratch Kitchen that closed down twice...some unlucky vibes there. Won't be surprised if they close down soon too.

We had a 4 hour layover in Honolulu and it was a quick 15 minute Lyft ride here to Lucky Belly. We were the only party here right at 5:30 pm.

We had the duck tacos, plus the special dim sum appetizer combo of pork belly bao, lobster dumplings and oxtail dumplings. We could not pick a favorite. The variety of textures was fantastic and each of the meat fillings were perfectly seasoned and tender, delicious! Each had a different sauce- just enough, not too much.

All of the window seats were empty. In fact the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told the only option for us was the inconspicuous booth at the back of the restaurant. Not a good start. The food was okay. There was more than we were expecting, however the short ribs were a little tough. The ambiance, it was nice and empty by the time we left. Overall, what had been something we'd been looking forward to for years turned out to be a dismal disappointment. The experience left us feeling unwelcome, particularly because it seemed the staff were uncomfortable with two men simply going out for lunch. Being a Black and Asian couple shouldn't have any bearing on how paying customers are treated, but unfortunately, that's how the experience felt to us. We can overlook mediocre food or service, but feeling judged or unwelcome is something we won't overlook. We were there as paying customers and deserved to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as anyone else. Unfortunately, this is a place we won't be returning to, and based on our experience, we would not recommend it to others.
