My wife and decided to eat there on our way home since it was late and I needed to get up early the next day,actually the portions were good , I ordered the Mini combo A which consisted of a bowl of fried rice ,small ramen and 4 pc goyza and I even had enough to share with my wife,and still fill full read more

Restaurant similar to the Sumo Ramen food chain. Not authentic or excellent but good ole local Asian cuisine. You really can't beat the price, a lot of value for what you get. They serve a variety of ramen and typical Asian plate lunch style food. For 10.25 (they raised the price) will get you Ramen, 4 pc Gyoza and a Mini Plate for ex chicken Katsu or mochiko chicken. The food comes out really fast. Some of the servers are nice and mean well, while others can work on their customer service. If you are looking for an affordable place to feed the family, this definitely is it. Usually very quick to get seated and restrooms available through a shared shopping center. Plenty of parking too. read more

Really enjoy this place. Portions are generous. Food is great. Prices are right. Service is not bad. The happy hour gyoza is on the money. Highly recommend the shrimp fried rice and mochiko chicken. read more

The food here is really good. Even though it is cheap Asian takeout type of food, I still love how good it taste and you can't beat the price with the large portions read more

This is not a pleasing place to eat. I ordered Katsu curry and none of my katsu had curry on it. My plate was all rice with maybe half a ladle of curry one inch size piece of beef in my curry one chunk of carrot. The Only up side to this.. my food was hot... taste was ok... very displeasing... read more

This place gives you too much food.their large ramen is real good ,and if your real hungry they have a combo set of ramen ,gioza and a small order of your choice,katsu chicken, curry beef fried rice or fried noodles.I was stuffed read more

First time here and well it will be my last. I got poor service with mediocre food. Our waitress was so rude I wanted to just leave right then and there. We ordered ramen, fried rice, and gyoza. The broth wasn't that great. I could've made a better fried rice. The gyoza was actually pretty good, would've gotten more but I didn't want to give more of my money to these people. Another unsettling thing was we were stared at the entire time we sat down! It was very weird and felt uncomfortable. I won't be coming back ever. read more

We did catering from Ramen Ya for our Super Bowl party and I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. Everyone loved the Fried rice, Tempura, and especially the Mochiko Chicken. The price was also very very competitive which I appreciated. I would recommend them for take out if you want a good meal and a low cost. read more

Food was delicious with generous portions but the service was horrible. The staff was not friendly and it appears we were interrupting their dinner as they were all sitting along the back counter eating. No refills on water during the entire time we were eating. I had to get up, walk to the rear of the restaurant where the staff was eating their dinner to ask for a refill of water. read more

I rate it at 1 1/2 stars, I didn't have a very good experience. The service was very slow there was only 1 server on the floor, with a room full of hungry people. So I understand why my order was messed up, but she got it wrong twice, on top of the slow service. So my family ended up finishing their meal before I was even able to get mines. The broth has very little flavor, I ordered the spicy seafood ramen. Good amount of seafood and noodles. But I'm not a huge fan. When I went they also had a gyoza deal going out, everyone got free gyoza with their meal. I'm not too sure if they're still doing that deal. But it's a good spot if you're very hungry and want ramen. For me... I would rather make a trip into waikiki and go to my favorite ramen shop. read more

Went here for the first time today, fully knowing that this is yet another Chinese-run Japanese restaurant, and my views were shaped accordingly. I wasn't expecting some secret recipe magical ramen broth, or preparing to compare this place to Yotekko-ya or Goma tei; and so, I had a very pleasant experience! This is a typical high volume lower quality joint. I ordered Combo A and got a small ramen, giant mountain of fried rice, and 4 gyoza for $8.95. Ended up with about another full meal in leftovers. For a quick shoyu-y, Asian food-y fix, this hits the spot. read more

We ordered Kim Chee fried rice and gyoza. Was served 15 minutes after the party that showed up after us. We ended up ordering more food because of therlong wait, crispy fried noodles. Food was good, but wait was long read more

The free gyoza was the only item we liked. The gyoza sauce was good. Our ramen had a weird aftertaste and we were overall unimpressed. Left feeling like we wasted our money. read more

I went to the location in Kapolei about a week ago and really enjoyed it so I figured I would try this location near home. I haven't been happy with most 99% of the food in Hawaii Kai and this place was mediocre at best. Servers were sloppy, food was blah! I don't recommend. read more

Walked by and saw the line to this place out the door. I had a nail appointment next door so me a the Nali lady were talking about it and she recommended me to try it out. She was already a fan getting Combo A to go. She said it was inexpensive and a lot of food. So I walk next door after and got 1 A combo to go. She was right service was great even though they were still busy for lunch at 2 pm. They got my food out to me right away and even checked on me in the five min I was sitting there waiting. They did forget my drink but that could have been my fault as well I was not paying much attention around me if they had set it down and I didnt notice it. Still didnt mind my meal was under $10 and I had not even touched half of it and I was already Full. It is a must try and worth the wait if there is one. read more

This is the second time we have tried Ramen-Ya after trying the one in Pearl city about a year ago. The food at that time was okay, my only concern is that it tasted like Chinese food rather than Japanese Ramen. So today we went into the Hawaii Kai restaurant to give it a second try. To me, my experience got worse. Granted the decor was very nice for a ramen shop. The place had great potential, except for the service and food. They were crowded on a Saturday afternoon, which I don't understand except this may be one of the the only noodle shops in Hawaii Kai. The service sucked. The waitress was impatient and wasn't listening To us at all. She asked if everything was ok, then just walked away. She also repeated our order, and then just rushed away without ever caring for our response. I also asked her for a sauce dish and she never came back. The won ton ramen was junk. The soup base had a weird flavor, the noodles were nothing special, and the won ton had too much wrapping and it was overdone. My wife's Mao po tofu ramen tasted pungent at first, but the flavor grew on you after a while and tastes better then the ramen base after a while. The chili oil tasted like plastic, and the gyoza sauce tasted like it had ginger in it. The Katsu curry was alright though, and was enough to actually feed our family of 4. My parents have also said their gomoko and the chicken vegetable stir fry noodle was pretty good. I don't know if I will be going back... read more

Big portions but the taste could be better. Combos are great deal for quantity.

This place should just close all of their franchises. This location especially should just curl up and die. Poor service, shit food. Came in with my wife, ordered Gomoku ramen and a Miso ramen set with gyoza and and fried rice. Both ramen tasted like I was sipping bath water that was inhabited by ferrel pigs from the Hawaii Kai mountains. Fried rice and Gyoza were edible and just mediocre. Also overhearing the Chinese workers saying they have a problem of cockroach infestations (my wife knows Mandarin). Never again am I coming here! read more

The food is okay for the price. Be careful if you are vegetarian though. Someone in my party ordered the veggie ramen and after eating we were told there is a "little bit" of meat in it. read more

Place was empty when arrived. Hostess seemed angry whenever she spoke to customers. Ordered chicken katsu curry because it got good reviews. The portions were large on the rice and chicken katsu but I got very little curry. Overall unimpressed. read more

Like many others who have reviewed this place, I have to agree that they have TERRIBLE service. Waitresses are rude and the cooks were eyeing my friend out the whole time. Quality of food is cheap and the taste of msg overpowers any real flavor the 'ramen' has. Obviously Chinese owned, so if you are looking for authentic good-tasting ramen, don't go here! read more

This is our go-to place to get takeout in Hawaii Kai. Service is extremely fast. Meals are ready in less than 5 min each time. Definitely recommend! read more

Ramen was alright and gyoza was tasty but the service sucked! Even though there's a language barrier it seemed as if their hospitality was just as bad as their English. Terrible service to a point where it goes beyond cultural and just overall rudeness! Refilled our water and poured 1/2 the pitcher on us with no apologies. Food plates and ramen were practically thrown on our table and food shifted all over the place. Seriously.....this kind of place in Hawaii Kai???? Don't waste your time or taste buds...not worth it at all!!! read more

I love this place! There aren't many good ramen places in the Metro DC area and this was so much better than any place we have back in the east coast. We stumbled upon it on our annual visit to see family in Hawaii. Got the ramen with char siu and gyoza as an appetizer. I tried a piece of my sister-in-laws mochiko chicken. Everything was delicious and cheap. read more

Awesome food and portions but terrible service. The waitress pretty much threw my food on the table and spilt my ramen. The gyoza took forever to come out. Personally i would not come back here. read more

There are many wannabe Ramen shops in Hawaii who claim to be serving Sapporo Style Ramen. Most of them are far below average. My typical complaint is that the broth has no depth of flavor. It's as if the shops use premade beef broth to mix with the base. Ramen-Ya, however, tasted far worse. There was almost no flavor at all in the soup. They might as well should've served me noodles in plain hot water. I was so tempted to dump some shoyu in the soup to give it any flavor at all. I could only stomach half the bowl of noodles before leaving. On the plus side, the store is clean. read more

They need to do something about the Gyoza. It's not tasty and it mostlly dough. Tastes like that Panda brand from Costco. Much to doughy. Their combo's should have more choices too. read more

I love coming to this place. Not because of the mediocre food but because of the ridiculously horrible service. This place makes me laugh hysterically every time i go there. I've never seen such a ruder group of people. If this is how all Chinese people conduct themselves then I'm definitely planning a trip to China to see for myself. This is a special ensemble called a wait staff. The first time I was there one of the servers was screaming at someone in the kitchen for the duration of my meal. Everyone was looking on. Super entertaining. The time before that the oldest waitress made a mistake with our order. It wasn't anything major but for her it made us the most horrible people on earth. Not sure if they realize people pick up body language and we all know they're talking crap about the customers or maybe they just don't care. I will assume one day that one of those waitresses will be picking their teeth up off the floor after trying that Yip yap with the wrong customer. Anywho last night's visit was more special than the others. We were sat with no proper greeting like we were jerks for coming in. As we were eating, the old lady literally reached across our faces twice to restock the napkins and chopsticks as if they were closed. And no she didn't refill or empty waters... Again nor did she even ask how we were doing while she blocked the food from our faces. We decided to read all the negative yelp reviews during our meal in front of the staff. We laugh hysterically into the night... PS gyoza and fried rice was really good. read more

Decent price for amount of food but not the most flavorful Ramen. Happy hour is good tho 2-5 free gyoza

I will go back only if I needed to find a place close to home. The restaurant is new, clean, and simple in decor. As soon as I entered, the host sat me at the bar and handed me a menu. It wasn't two minutes before a waitress asked me if I was ready to order. Someone else took my beverage order. I ordered Vegetable Ramen, and asked for SPICY. Service was quick, maybe too quick, so I felt a bit rushed. I was served within 10 minutes. For me, it's all in the broth . . . It was just okay, a little salty, with lots of MSG. The noodles were skinny, but cooked just right. It is obvious that this is a Chinese-owned ramen shop. The chatter in Chinese reminded me of Chinatown (except this was clean, and just a tiny bit upscale). This cannot compare with my favorite ramen shop, Goma-ichi. The complexity of their broth are worlds apart. I gave two stars because it is one step higher than that "other place" in the next shopping center over.. I'm not saying that the cook or owner has to be a Japanese national, but so far none of the Chinese or Korean-owned ramen places have impressed me. read more

Four stars for the food and portion size. Ate too much and need to buy bigger pants. The staff only stares at you though kind of creepish but it's aight. #nomnomnom read more

Very very sassy waiteress helped us today. Got my order wrong. And then wanted to charge me an additional fee to fix her mistake. I don't see why I have to pay extra for her error. Not good business ethic. I will not be bidding this place any more and I'll be sure to tell all of my friends about this bad experience. This is Hawaii. Everyone talks about everything. Long story short. I didn't pay the extra and took the dish as it was. Wasnt happy with it and will be taking my business else where. Be warned read more

Yeah..I'm not coming here again. I mean, it is OK. The portions are ginormous, BUT the food and staff leave much to be desired. I have been here 3 times now and that is my limit :) I would rather drive a little farther, pay a little more, to go to Goma Tei. read more

This place is b.u.s.y! We got 'bar seating' and watched the tables turn and turn. So obviously I was excited about the food but was pretty unimpressed. I got one of the combo meals with rice, ramen and gyoza. The rice was pretty tasteless. The gyoza looked like the insides looked ground up in a blender. Probably won't be back :( read more

When you want ramen but have a really big appetite, check out Ramen-Ya, because this place will sure to satisfy your hunger in the most affordable, tasty way, especially when the portions are huge. If you gotta have your gyoza when you eat ramen like I do, come in the hours from 3pm - 5pm , where they serve you an order of gyoza for free. Can't go wrong with that deal. Another great thing is their combo meals, so if you're stuck between I want ramen, but then I also want curry rice, the combo meals will solve your problem where you can choose a a variety of selections. It's also a good way of trying out their other food entree as well so you know the next time you visit, you know what to order. Favorite food from this place, fried rice! Order a plate of fried rice and you're served a heaping mound of starch heaven, which most likely you're gonna get a takeout container to bring it home. So visit them at various locations, and make sure to come dine with them on an empty stomach! read more

Not gonna lie. I had higher expectations for this place despite the reviews and I should've listened to it. I ordered the tofu mafu udon while everyone else ordered ramen bowls. Everyone who had a ramen bowl said that their broth tasted like water. There was no flavor to it whatsoever. The only reason my boyfriend ended up eating his whole bowl was because he added so much soy sauce and vinegar to his bowl to try to boost up the flavor. On the other hand, my tofu mafu udon had much more flavor than their bowls did. It kinda tasted like hot and sour soup, but I couldn't eat it because there were chili pepper slices in my broth and I can't eat foods with spicy peppers in it. But my boyfriend ate my bowl for me so I suppose we did get our money's worth since he finished both of our bowls, but I wouldn't come here again. But if you are desperate for food, eat the combos instead. My friends sitting at a different table ordered the combos and didn't have anything to complain about versus the table I sat at. read more

Ramen-Ya - Tofu mafu udon - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Selection of Ramen is pretty good. You choose either Sapporo (Jaapnese thicker noodles) or Chinese ramen (thin noodles). Go with the thick one. Meanwhile this place is good but not great. I've had better broth and better noodles. The value is pretty good and apparently if you have coupons, you can get a really good deal. read more

Ramen Ya is always filled with people and our family knows why. Their prices are more than reasonable, the portions are big and everything tastes great! Compared to other ramen shops, it is clean, smells nice, the decor trendy and comfortable, and their combo meals are phenomenal! Food comes out piping hot and fast! Each table is equipped with napkins, chopsticks, and condiments. So thoughtful and convenient. The servers are attentive because they filled up our water cups without us asking. My only complaint is that I wish there was a Ramen Ya in town. But count on us to be there when we're in Pearl Highlands or Hawaii Kai area! Although there are busy, I still recommend this place for groups. In fact, the first 2 times I went there, we were a party of 12. We waited less than 15 minutes for our table. Our food came at the same time, piping hot and yummy! read more

Had the Ramen combo- Small Ramen, Gyoza 8 pieces(Happy HR), Chicken Katsu for 8.95! The taste wasn't all that great but all that for 8.95 a (hungry brudda on a tight budget) can't go wrong. I can see why this place is so popular huge portions for cheap. Will be sure to come back soon. read more
