Just OK food but great value. The prices here are great and the staff is nice and the portions are huge but I just cannot bring myself to love Ramen-Ya even though it's so close to home. The owners and chefs seem more Chinese than Japanese, which is not to say they they can't make good ramen, but I do taste some Chinese flair in their food. It's just not the style of Ramen that I prefer and love to eat. Good casual lunch spot to have a quick, cheap, and robust meal. Nice when you are running errands in the shopping center. read more

Clean inside, music, indoor seating only but a good amount of tables, pretty quick lunch service. I got the A combo with mini ramen, 4 pieces of gyoza, and chicken katsu curry. The mini ramen was a good size but a little too salty for me and the meat tasted like it had been marinated solely in soy sauce. The gyoza were cooked well but I don't like ginger and there's a lot in there. The chicken katsu curry was the best. Good crispy flavorful chicken katsu and the curry and rice came in generous portion. I wish it had veggies too but it was still good. The total came out to $15.65 with tax for all that food so I think that's a decent deal. Overall, nothing crazy here but it's definitely an okay place to eat read more

I normally eat here after doing my shopping at Costco. I was wondering why the place was so empty during peak lunch hours and found out why. I ordered the ramen set today which comes with gyoza and fried ice. When my order arrives at my table the ramen comes in a bowl that's half the normal size so I get less noodles and soup base. Then my fry rice arrive with small bids of egg white and approximately 5 green peas and 5 pieces of chopped carrot. I will never go back there ever again and will definitely not recommend this place to friends and family. read more

We come here often as I have many check-ins... it's typical Ramen Ya food that is offered at all the other Ramen Ya's around Oahu. It's quick easy eating and well of course the 2-5PM extra goza is worth it!!! read more

Ramen-Ya - Takeout where the chicken?? - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

So I come into this place based on my GF's recommendations that it is the BEST RAMEN PLACE ON THE ISLAND. However, I took her to the real best ramen place on the island and she even admitted it yup that's right THE BEST. Anyways, I come in super dooper hungry, starving, like I haven't eaten in days kind of HUNGRY! We sit down during gyzoa happy hours and I order the Combo Meal with the ramen, one tofu app, the extra dumps dumps on top of the free dumps dumps, the spam katzu, and my GF's meal-ramen, fried rice, and more dumps dumps. 5 stars for the super dooper fast service-the food came out so fast I barely took a breath sitting down! I was like wait what?! was it just sitting there already and they knew I was coming?! So the ramen, 2 stars. The broth isn't as juicy good as the usual ramen you would typically have at a real deal Japanese restaurant. Very light and plain. I added all the juicy seasoning and sauces that were on the table and for some reason it turned into a pho. Legit tasted like a Vietnamese pho. Dumps Dumps, about 2-3 stars. It was fat and bit but the inside not so mighty. It almost seem like shredded port, would fall apart in the sauce, wrapper was good, but not prime crisped. Tofy, 4 stars, cant really mess that up, but it was not something super dooper special filled with flavors. it came swimming in sauce, which I am not complaining about, but was not flavor blasting. The spam Katsu, 3 stars, overall, it was something new. I do not usually see that back at home, but it was overall okay. Nothing wild. Would be better if it had like onions, eggs, and what not like the real deal. But it was just fried spam over rice, with curry. The fried rice, 4 stars, the star of the show. not too buttery, not too bad either. Overall, the food was kind of bland and did not taste like the real deal Japanese food. However, the portions if you are hungry and on a budget like me cause I just spent a small fortune, yes, it is really good and friendly to your wallet. Is it a prime spot you would go to for real deal Japanese food? No. is it a date spot? No, unless you want your date to think you live in a shelter. Is it a good spot if you are starving, short on time, and need to fill up quick? YES! read more

Holy Moly talk about a deal! What if I told you you could get ramen with char siu, chicken katsu curry, AND five pieces of gyoza all for $10?! Well, that's what all that will run you at Ramen-Ya. There's no restrictions on time, it's not a happy hour price, that's how much it is all day...at ALL of their locations. My buddy and I were wondering around the shopping plaza where the Hawaii Kai Costco is located (totally forgot what that plaza is called) and we came across Ramen-Ya. I'm not usually into these kinds of places, but my friend really wanted curry. Sat down right away-literally no wait and within 5 minutes of ordering our food was out. Now, for $10 don't expect some fancy stuff to come out...it got the job done and I was SO FULL after. The parking situation isnt a situation at all since there's like a bajillion parking stalls in a huge parking lot. This place was a good deal and I'll definitely be back, but maybe next time I'll take some of it to go. read more

Consistently good tasting food considering how many restaurants have changed post COVID. My dad recommended this place and I'm glad we did a family dinner there together. If you're going to compare any ramen place to Japan standards of course it's won't surpass them however considering you are on the island it's really good and a very good bang for your buck. The workers are nice, food and service is pretty quick. Overall good quality no matter what you order. read more

Ramen-Ya - Variety of dishes ordered from the menu - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I feel like I'm on a 4-star streak with my recent reviews! My bestest most amazing friend Denby R. swung by this past week to visit me on my lunch break. It was much overdue, and I missed her face. So we needed a place for TLC-- Talk, Laugh, and Chew. The dining room was the perfect ambience to catch up. Quiet enough for us to discuss life without having to yell, but loud enough to not worry about friendstalkers. Ramen-Ya was a great option to bond during break! We were seated instantly at lunchtime (1pm), and served within 5 minutes of ordering. With only an hour lunch break, I really appreciate restaurants that can turn the order quickly! That translates to more quality conversations without the rush. Although Denby's spicy seafood ramen looked different IRL vs the pic (broth was orange, pic was green), she enjoyed the flavors. I ordered Combo A with chicken katsu curry, shoyu ramen, and gyoza. HIT DA SPOT! The broth for the ramen was on point! Nothing fancy, just good food for a really good price point. My $12 lunch provided more-than-enough leftovers for work tomorrow. Thumbs up. read more

Didn't know about this place until my boyfriend's parents took us here tonight for dinner. It's located in Hawaii kai shopping center, near Ross. It is a small restaurant with numerous tables and seats. They serve different types of ramen, udon, curry, combo sets mochiko chicken, etc. Lots of local food. Boyfriend's mom and I both ordered a beef curry rice, boyfriend's dad ordered the seafood chow mein, and boyfriend ordered a Gomoku ramen. Food arrived pretty fast. Everything we got were big portions. My beef curry rice was alright, nothing special about it at all. Curry tasted pretty sweet to me. I ate about half of it and got bored of the taste. My Boyfriend loves to eat ramen, but said that his ramen wasn't to his liking and that he had better ramen than this. The egg that came with his ramen was more of a hard boiled egg that was cooked too long. He didn't finish up his ramen. Boyfriend's dad enjoyed his seafood chow mein, since he ate all of it up. While we were eating, a lot of people came in and filled up the restaurant. Service was alright, but I understand because it was packed. I had to look flag down one of the servers to come by and give us two containers to pack my beef curry and other leftovers. Also for our check. Overall; it is a decent place to eat something if you're hungry and in the area. Food quality; I wouldn't say its the best, just average. Prices are affordable and under $20. read more

Ordered again my favorite pork fried rice and it is still great! Huge portion that feeds the two of us two meals. I also tried their deep-fried oysters and their katsu spam since both intrigued me. I wasn't disappointed. Both were excellent! We always do takeout and have never had a bad meal. Food is always ready on time. read more

A great Ramen place that's fairly inexpensive, yet generous in their portions. My favorite is the Curry Ramen, but they have many other tasty ramens, they also have great chicken katsu curry and many other good plate lunches. The Spam katsu curry is surprisingly good. Unfortunately they've temporarily closed due to Covid-19 read more

Nice people and good food. I recommend the Wonton Soup (Combo B- wonton soup, some gyoza and a choice of side order out of 6 opts) or the regular Wonton Ramen. read more

We decided to go here for some ramen. What a mistake! We did take out. One of ramen did not come with the char siu and gyoza. The broth was luke warm. Chicken katsu was ok. Curry was very skimpy. The only decent thing was the gyoza but even that was so so. I would not recommend this restaurant and we will not be going back anytime soon. I didn't want to drive all the way back to tell them that they messed up our order. Should have checked the order before we got to the car, but the order was taped so figured the order would be accurate. read more

We went to the Hawaii Kai location. My husband ordered the combination of ramen, gyoza, and mochiko chicken and I had won ton soup, gyoza, and beef stew. We were both disappointed with the favor of the broths - tasted like something you get from a ramen package mix. The won ton had a tiny amount of meat and won ton pi didn't wrap around it. Service was fine. Take out containers are 60 cents each. Don't expect quality ramen. read more

I'm giving 3 stars for the value. Two combo meals was $24 and that's a lot of food. I got one with beef curry and the other mochiko chicken. The ramen broth tasted a lot like the packaged stuff, overly salty. The gyoza was good. Beef curry and mochiko chicken were okay. Maybe the other ramen is good, maybe it's just the mini that is a cheaper broth. I may try to get just a larger ramen next time, but I'm in no rush. read more

Hardly ever give 5*stars for any restaurants, but this place is pushing out some tasty noodle dishes and deserves 5*stars. The staff are super friendly and upkeep of cleanliness is good. Pricing is fair for the delicious noodles and free yummy gauzas from 2-5pm. Food is so good - I tip $7 every visit. Stop by and have a taste - it's pretty dang good. I have no relations with this place other than a happy customer - if I sound like a fake promoter.. check my other restaurants reviews.. I'll slam down any place with true facts if it's bad or great. as this YELP reviews are meant to be - is the food good or bad? Noodle dishes at this place are very good and tasty. Nuff said.. I'm out! read more

Had the black garlic ramen with some gyoza. Flavor was good and the waitress was nice.

Yes, it's not authentic ramen or gourmet food at any stretch. But like their many locations which is spreading across town, you do have many pluses for this chain: tasty food, large portions, affordable prices, quick and efficient service. A good choice for this area if you looking for a quick bite (maybe after shopping at Costco?) We ordered the crispy seafood noodle for a tad under $9 and it's a good deal. You have generous amounts of shrimp, squid and assorted veggies. The thick sauce is plastered on top but doesn't make the noodles soggy at all. This is the best dish we ordered at the chain. My wife had the mini won tun soup, fried rice, gyoza combo. The won tun is soup is probably not the best choice, hardly any meat. But the fried rice was tasty and gyoza was not bad. Note: this place is packed at 2PM as you get free gyoza, ends at 5PM. That is an awesome deal. read more

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have never once had a bad experience. My go to is Combo Set A. It comes with a freshly made ramen with 2 pieces meat in the tasty broth, gyoza and your choice of a main dish. The chicken katsu curry is delicious and crispy. I always ask for extra curry sauce on the rice and chicken katsu because their curry is on point! Of course there are other places that make a good curry sauce but for a combo set under $20 that leaves me fully satisfied, where else you gonna go? The waitresses are always very attentive and keep the orders flowing even with the many take out orders. Their customer service is always great even when the restaurant is packed. The place is always clean and nice and sometimes there is some good music playing too! They have a good menu selection and multiple locations around the island so if your hungry and looking for a good meal go check um out. read more

This place was just ok for me. I came here for dinner with my husband and son on a whim. We were at the Hawaii Towne Center and decided to try it since it was voted Hawaii's Best in 2014. The hubby got the big bowl ramen that consisted of chicken katsu, pork, egg, and vegetables. I got the mini ramen combo set with gyoza and chicken katsu curry rice. The chicken katsu curry was the bomb. The curry was just right and the rice was nice and fluffy. The gyoza was nice, big and juicy. It was crispy on the outside. The pork and vegetable filling was perfectly proportioned. I would go back for those two items alone. However, the ramen was a let down. You'd expect a restaurant with the name Ramen on it to have excellent ramen. This was hardly the case. I took a sip of the broth and almost spat it out. It had no flavor whatsoever. It just tasted like salted water. Everyone knows that the broth makes the ramen. The noodles were fine. It tasted like Sun Noodles from every other place. The pork was flavorful and tender. This is definitely not a "traditional" ramen place. A lot of people seem to like this place. I posted this place on my Facebook page and got a few comments on how they like it here. It must be preference. The service was nice and efficient. The food came out in 10 minutes. When we got there, there were about 5 tables being used. When we left, the restaurant was full and there was actually a wait. read more

Been here a number of times and always got a good seat. Place has always been fairly crowded. Had the won ton ramen and it's pretty much more like some meat and more won ton wrapper. On another occasion, I had the fried gyoza curry with rice. Now that was a meal. Gyoza was perfectly deep fried and the plate was huge. Curry was also flavorful. So with the meals not so stellar, why would I give it 4 stars? Because on our first visit we got this coupon to use on our next occasion. It was for a plate of free steamed gyoza with our next regular sized meal. So we used it on our next visit and we got a plate of four gyoza for EACH regular meal we ordered!!! We had three people so that was a total of 12 pieces of gyoza!! What a deal. And at the end of our meal, we got another coupon for the same thing for our next visit. Cool! So if you are craving ramen and are in the Hawaii Kai area, it's worth a try to eat here. read more

Had been craving ramen and this place was right next to Ross, so I went in. Wish I read the reviews first. I'd categorize the place as "aggressively mediocre," and I'm not that hard to please. The staff was monosyllabic and not friendly at all. They don't serve alcohol. I got the tonkatsu ramen. The noodles were a good texture. The broth was okay. The pork was bland and the egg was overcooked which bummed me out because I paid for an extra egg. I normally eat til I'm stuffed because I feel bad for wasting, but I didn't care here. I ate enough to fill up and left. I swear I was in and out within a half hour. I guess I'll give them that. It was quick. But maybe if they slowed down it would be a better experience. read more

It's one of those alright food quality but quick palaces to come for ramen. It reminds me of Ayames in Kaneohe, Hokkaido Ramen, or Sumo kind place. They are pretty attentive and efficient. I got a combo with fried rice, a mini ramen, and gyoza. My fiancé enjoyed the fried rice since we shared it. I'd come back again since it is closer to my house than Gomatei or any other ramen places. It really helps that they're efficient. The ramen and gyoza are so-so. There's plenty parking too. We will be back on one of those days that we need a quick bowl of soup. read more

Ramen-Ya - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A lot of the dishes are pretty good and customer service isn't so bad. The environment is nice and relaxing with good classic music.

Very good chicken katsu curry and seafood crispy noodle also their ramen is very good

Ramen-Ya? More like Ramen-No. If you are expecting above average quality Ramen, look elsewhere. This is one of those convenient, cheap, quick, fast food type of ramen places, such as Hokkaido Ramen or Goma-Tei. I never had huge expectations for this place to begin with as I knew what to expect if I were to eat here, and I've never had the urge or curiosity. But I suppose I had to try since it's so convenient, and I've seen enough advertisements for free gyoza from 2-5pm. Also, there aren't many options in Hawaii Kai. One can eat Costco hot dogs and sodas only so many times. Ramen-Ya is conveniently located in Hawaii Kai Towne Center, next to Ross and T-Mobile. Their main draw is the free gyoza between 2-5pm, which is what we took advantage of. There's nothing special or exciting on the menu. It's your basic ramens, free foods, fried rice and noodles, and etc. I ordered the Gomoku Ramen and my girlfriend got the mabo Tofu Ramen. I can tell my ramen was just all put together and then the broth was poured or scooped on top. The broth didn't cover everything so I can see a lot of the wakame was not rehydrated, the char siu was dry, and the canned corn was still a bit cold. The broth was extremely light and it didn't taste like anything or have any distinct taste besides the bean sprouts and cabbage. The ramen noodle was okay. It was a little soft and doughy and mushy. It tasted a little like yakisoba noodles. As I said earlier, the char siu was dry, tasteless, and a little tough. The corn tasted like it was straight from the can, BPA included. The menma, or the fermented bamboo shoots tasted like it was straight from the package. The egg was just a Hard Boiled egg that's been cooked beyond saving. Even Tequila can't save it. The only part I liked was the wakame because I like seaweed, and that somewhat saved this bowl of ramen. I had a bite of the mabo Tofu ramen. It tasted pretty good with a nice spice to it, but it wasn't full of flavor. You can obviously see the mabo Tofu was just scooped into if the noodles. The soup from the ramen was seeping from the edges to the top of the bowl, and watered down the thick starch slurried sauce. That made it a little unappetizing. As for the gyoza, the wrapper was the thin variety, and it was pan-fried below average. They were not browned enough, and didn't have the crispiness. The filling was very basic with pork, cabbage, and chive. The taste was absent and no where to be seen. I don't remember ever having such a bland gyoza. Overall, I didn't expect Ramen-Ya to be outstanding, but I wasn't expecting for it to have zero taste and such a subpar eating experience. The service was great though. Very friendly and considerate service. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are big. Those are the positives at Ramen-Ya. This is a good place if you just want to fill your stomach without paying an arm and a leg to do it, especially in Hawaii Kai. read more

I'm usually a mochiko chicken fan, but not a fan of ramen-ya'a mochiko chicken, the taste is so gross. Half way through eating it I felt like throwing up, it sucks. Other then that my husband ate the combo A with chicken Katsu curry and it was pretty good. Customer service always sucks at this place, waitress never asked if we needed a refill on any of our drinks. Over all experience was 3 stars. I only love that the price of the food is cheap. Lol read more

Ramen-Ya - Mochiko chicken plate - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My fam bam, bestie and her boyfriend, my cousin,and my boyfriend and I all went to dinner here on my boyfriend Joel's and my last night home in Hawai'i. It's close to where my family lives and they were able to accommodate all eight of us. My first impression of the place was that they probably need more waitstaff to handle the people coming here. Hawai'i kai is only now, I feel, getting better restaurant options which is great because normally we have to drive out to Kahala or aina haina to satisfy our diverse palate. What's great about this location is that it's near costco and there's tons of FREE parking! yes free that's how we like it. Here are some of the dishes we ordered: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bnNa-Cg4I9J06d1d8XL_zg?select=WcDNPuGVS2Woop4T1_C5sA#WcDNPuGVS2Woop4T1_C5sA That's the chicken katsu curry ramen. I felt like i needed something warm yet i wanted to try their katsu curry, which was yummy. I ended up swiping some more chicken katsu from my uncle and even requested more of that delicious curry sauce. It took awhile for the two waitstaff to see make eye contact with me and to see my hand pop up when I felt like I could get their attention, but when I did it was all good. They gave a pretty large amount which I of course shared with the table. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bnNa-Cg4I9J06d1d8XL_zg?select=WcDNPuGVS2Woop4T1_C5sA#IH6d7yFpOmdIHOPAkM-xQw My boyfriend's shrimp fried rice. He must be the fried rice king, he liked it and they gave big pieces of shrimp rather than those small puny ones. More meat = happy tummies! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bnNa-Cg4I9J06d1d8XL_zg?select=WcDNPuGVS2Woop4T1_C5sA#jC4kcZjiMKevibAMNVhJzA My bestie's ramen with char siu. From the smile on her face, I think she enjoyed her dish very much. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/bnNa-Cg4I9J06d1d8XL_zg?select=WcDNPuGVS2Woop4T1_C5sA#dzJHRbSEVNFrgwpSpvNXEA and of course the famous chicken katsu curry. Drenched in their yummy curr sauce over the crispy yummy chicken and rice. Pretty large portion and satisfying flavor fo sho!! This will definitely be my next choice. Some improvements I thought would be helpful, more waitstaff even just one more would be good I think. It took them awhile to refill our waters and for me to get their attention for more curry sauce. They were pretty friendly for how busy they were and they were kind enough to take a picture of all of us too. I'm glad they opened up in Hawai'i kai because restaurant variety is a must out there. I'm confident they will do well because we all love some good curry and ramen!! read more

This place is generic as hell but I guess for the price.....idk.....gyoza had to be redone cuz it was majorly undercooked. (But it was also free w happy hour) Our ramen had about a pound of bean sprouts in it, which left about 4 bites of noodles lol. (Picture shows about 3/4 of the bean sprout that I managed to get out) Customer service was ok but I'm pretty sure they were talking bad about me in Chinese cuz I asked to remake the free gyoza and they saw my bean sprouts. The chicken katsu came out in about 3 seconds after our order. I tasted it and yes, it all makes sense, strange chicken, weird breading and generic. I recommend if you're starving and can only scrape together change from your car. I'm giving 2 stars only because there was no wait, semi-clean and had parking... read more

If I could give this place a NEGATIVE STAR review I would. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Ordered big bowl ramen, took a few bites off the top, really tried to like it but it tasted terrible. Couldn't bring myself to eat anymore so shared it with a co worker of mine who agreed it tasted terrible. Kindly let the waitress know that I was unsatisfied with the few bites I took and that I would be okay with a refund. Manager named ANA handled it with poor customer service, said that I ate "almost all of it" when I showed her the big bowl was split between two bowls (being that I shared some with my coworker). She said okay then took the bowls to the back. The thing that UPSET ME MOST was that MANAGER ANA had the audacity to yell at my OTHER coworker (who had nothing to do with the situation) about MY returning of the food and make a scene in front of the other customers AFTER me and my other co workers left the restaurant. That was COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL for her to wait and attack someone who didn't say anything about the food and wasn't apart of the situation to begin with. She should've waited to personally talk to me and not someone else. WORST Dining experience ever. read more

Pros: Their combos are no joke, a ton of food. A mini ramen or mini wonton (not mini though-pretty good size, I was full after just rating that) comes with 4 gyoza and your choice of an entree (I.e., chicken katsu with gravy, spam with gravy, fried rice and more) for $9.25 (that's less than a glass of wine at Roy's). Their regular size is enormous(my husband got the fried rice, I think you can feed 3 people with that) and the combo can feed 2 plus there is that appetizer of 4 gyoza. The broth of the ramen was quite good, the noodles taster very fresh and not like a package you get from the grocery store (trust me, I had my fair share of cheap ramen in college, I know good ramen ) on the table, they have condiments to help you customize your ramen to your liking (I.e., tobacco, vinegar, soy sauce, the Asian chopped hot pepper sauce-can't think of the name for it) I added vinegar, that Asian hot sauce and bit of tobacco to mine (perfection)) Chicken katsu, not bad, nice and crispy comes with the Asian gravy that you can buy from the Asian market.. Gyoza pretty decent. Cons: protein for the mini ramen was very scarce, 2 slices of beef (tasty) and one slice of fish cake. The chicken katsu is not made with chicken breast, more thigh or wing. Chicken fried rice came with very little pieces of chicken, mostly rice. read more

On the cusp of a cold, I wanted ramen but didn't want to go into town ... saw the sign earlier for this ramen place and thought I'd give it a try. The interior was decorated quite nicely, and the middle son and I were seated quickly by a friendly hostess. I'm not a ramen connoisseur so I had to ask what the shio ramen was - turns out it's a clear broth, which is exactly what I wanted. It comes with three slices of char siu, and I opted for an egg at an extra $1.50. While I would have preferred pork belly (not an option), the salty char siu gave the hard boiled egg and tame broth the flavor kick it needed. I thought the ramen noodles were perfect but will try the udon noodles (another extra) next time just for variety's sake. Middle son had the chicken katsu ramen in what looked like a shoyu broth - he was slurping away quite happily so I'm assuming it satisfied! Oh, and they even gave us the free gyoza special even though it was 10 minutes after 5 pm, when the special ended - we didn't ask, they just put it on the table as appetizers! Dinner ended up being less than $20 for both of us since we just had water, and we took some leftovers home. We'll be back! read more

I don't know why the ratings are so low. Maybe cause people are comparing this with higher end ramen shops. This place is more like a Sumo Ramen type and other similar. Got there during happy hour which come with free gyoza with a meal order. I ordered the combo that came with mini ramen, gyoza and one other selected item which you can pick out of 6 or 8 items I believe. My boyfriend had a shio ramen. When the gyoza showed up we had 12!! What?? I thought it was a mistake but the waitress explained that we both get 4 free with our orders even if mine already came with 4. What?!! That's crazy! Of course we did have to doggy bag some of them. Wished they let you pick something else instead with the combo. I thought the food was good! Love the chewy noodles and the broth was nice. Gyoza was the usual type and probably could be cooked longer cause they didn't hold up when you picked them up. All in all it was very good. read more
