    Don't sleep on RamenYa located in Kapolei! This is my second time visiting this location. It helps that it is close to my work so it's easy to drive over and enjoy a meal by myself. The kitchen is visible while you're enjoying your food. The dining room set up is also a very relaxed atmosphere. It is a small part where tables are very close to each other. It almost makes you not wanna talk so loud because everyone can hear what you're saying. If you don't mind a place like this, I'm more excited about the value of the meal. For $15.99, you get gyozas, a full bowl of ramen, and a main dish of your choice. This is my second time ordering the chicken katsu but honestly, the chicken fried rice is a solid choice too. You really can't go wrong. All three for $15.99... are you out of your mind?! I don't care much for pork so I asked to substitute the meat on the ramen for chicken and they allowed the substitution which was nice. I also like that they give you a nice takeout box. container for your soup that is reusable for home. It's also airtight so it doesn't spill everywhere in the car. I would come back here for the third time, just for the price alone and for how filling it is.

    This restaurant not on the mainland so of course when I come out here, I try everything and it's local and it really pays off 98% of the time. Robin ya did not disappoint. Excellent service nice atmosphere small restaurant but really a perfect setting for something casual.Ill definitely be back.

    Found this by accident as was shopping and we needed to eat lunch after arriving from the airport. Looked at the Yelp! reviews by others and clinched the deal. Had enough leftovers for another meal. $16.50 for a combination was well worth it for gyoza, mini ramen and chicken katsu! All very tasty.

    I love Ramen Ya! I requested a change to our Ramen and there was some confusion, but our server was very nice about it and our food came out great and fast. Definitely recommend.

    We were in Oahu our first night and looking for a quick bite to eat. We stumbled across Ramen Ya in a shopping center and took a chance, wanting to try new places. The dining room is fairly small, with maybe 10 tables. We got seated immediately and there is table service from a serving crew. The menu is large, with many different choices of ramen and other items. We weren't in the mood for ramen so we went with chicken fried rice, tonkatsu chicken, tonkatsu spam (yes, really), and some pan fried gyoza. Everything we tried we enjoyed very much. The tonkatsu was quite crispy and well cooked, though I personally didn't care for the spam cooked this way. The gyoza were fresh and hot, and the fried rice was really outstanding. Great flavor and a large portion size for the price. All in all, we very much enjoyed our meal and went there one additional time before we left. The prices were reasonable by Hawaii standards and we felt we got good value for our money.

    More like Ramen Yeeeeah!!! Before being on island San Diego was just starting to get some solid Ramen. I had my fav joints and was very interested in checking out what Hawaii had to offer. As the Japanese Curry that we've had so far has been top notch. The Ramen Ya in Kapolei has some bonus points. As it's located near the Target and next to Down to Earth. There is also an EV charger out front. So there aren't any excuses not to go. As for the ambiance, this would be the only downside. It was a little cramped - not a lot of space between tables. But honestly once the food gets there you quickly forget. My family is notorious for being a bit picky at times. My boys all got the Chicken Katsu Curry while my wife dabbled with the Gyoza Curry. I however went for the Black Garlic Ramen with extra noodles and made sure to make it spicy. End result everyone enjoyed their meal - and a miracle happened it was a clean plate club all around. Even the toddler ate his food and was so happy and content. My wife even mentioned making Ramen Ya a weekly stop as the price was just right especially for the quality. The servers were all quite friendly even when super busy. There wasn't an empty table the entire time we were there. Overall fantastic experience look forward to coming back.

    Ramen-Ya serves ramen and other noodle dishes. The service is good, servers were friendly and helpful when asked about items on the menu. The ambiance is of Ramen-Ya is basic and simple, nothing fancy which is fine. Your order is prepared and served quickly. Curry Ramen - 4/5 The curry ramen was very good. The curry ramen tasted good. The curry was not spicy. The ramen noodles are good and not rubbery hard and not soft or mushy. The pork belly was tender, not hard or dry. I wish a soft boiled egg be included. Cold Noodles - 4/5 I ordered the egg noodle or somen. They other cold noodle choice is soba noodles. The dipping sauce was good, and when you mixed all the condiments (sliced fish cake, sliced pork, bamboo shoots and bean sprouts) together, the dish is very refreshing. Ramen-Ya is a decent place for a witch meal.

    It's a basic Ramen place and we were hangry. Guy greeted us and gave us water and a menu right away. We ordered and then it took a LONG time to get our food. The restaurant was about half full and half of them came in around the same time we did. After watching 3 other tables get their food we saw our waiter looking out from the counter at us. He came up with 1 of the 2 bowls. I was hangry so I dug in without waiting for my husband. After a half dozen mouthfuls I told him to dig into mine. He thought his would be right behind. It was after all Ramen. After watching another table get their food he started eating my Ramen. 10 minutes passed and no second bowl. He realised he'd eaten about a third of my lunch and pushed the bowl back to me. He said "eat it,it's your lunch." Still no second bowl. Finally his arrives and I'm halfway done already. This is poor management back in the kitchen. The overall time was long but splitting up an order like that is not good thus the 3 stars. 3 stars means the food was decent, the price was right, but there are things that take down the experience and that memory will make me hesitate next time I consider coming back.e

    Dine in

    My mom & I love their soups, rice, & gyozas! They always have music playing & specials of the week or month. Staff is very nice & friendly, super sweet! Thank you so much * There is sauces, hot oil, salt, pepper, chop sticks, napkins, etc on tables.

    Bowl of dumplings with that special bottle of vinegar.

    Came here after a Costco shopping trip since hubz was craving Chicken Katsu Curry. Ramen-Ya is located right across at Kapolei Commons... we come here often (a fam fav offering variety). We were seated and ordered... I chose the Won Ton Soup set. As we waited for our food, my husband noticed a lady on the other table eating her ramen with lots of vinegar. She kept adding vinegar to each bite. Interesting. My Won Ton Soup arrived and thought I'd try the vinegar... jus add a little vinegar to my spoon of won ton. OMG... it reminded me of eating Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). It took my bowl of won ton to a whole new level and flavor. That was a new taste... it was fantastic! I'll definitely be utilizing that vinegar condiment again. Lesson learned: It's always a good idea to watch other patrons at a restaurant - to observe what's good to eat and how to enjoy it.

    Solid 4 The broth miso one was better then other ramen ya locations I've been. The gyoza was tasty and tasty reheated later. The fried rice was tasty and good in the reheat. And you can upgrade to a full size bowl for a little more

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.

    Service was on point and the food absolutely delivered -- honestly, what more could you ask for?…read more We dined in around 5:30 pm and it was pretty quiet at first, which made for a relaxed start to dinner. Within about 30 minutes, the place started filling up quickly -- always a good sign. Ordering was smooth and efficient, and our food came out shortly after without feeling rushed. My boyfriend ordered the spicy beef shabu shabu with spinach, mushrooms, and udon. The broth had a really nice kick -- flavorful, warming, and not overwhelmingly spicy. The beef was tender and paired perfectly with the fresh vegetables and chewy udon noodles. I went with the shrimp tempura udon, and it hit the spot. The curry was light yet savory, and the tempura shrimp were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside -- no soggy batter here. The portion sizes were just right: satisfying and comforting without leaving us overly stuffed. Great service, delicious food, efficient timing -- this is definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

The booking was very straightforward, they don't charge a space rental fee as long as your party spends at least $1000 on food and drinks altogether. It doesn't have to be on one check, as long as it all adds up. We were able to decorate the area a bit for the party. Of course if you plan on partying here be wary of making too much of a mess or damaging things. Kiki then helped me preorder all the food for the party, and she also assisted with the surprise. Ashley was our server for the night and she did amazing! I was bothering her and Kiki and asking them questions all night and they were so nice and patient the entire time. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, it was as if they were family friends :) the speed of service was great too. I know we put the bartenders to WERK but the drinks still came out in such a timely manner. Finally, the food and drinks were BOMB. I've only been here a couple times before this, so I got to try a lot of items i haven't before at the party. Everyone was raving about the food! So many people who haven't been to DB grill before said they found their new spot. And if you like to drink, they have something for everyone. My grandma kept asking for more soju cocktails . The only thing I would warn about is that the AC is poppin upstairs, so bring a jacket. I would give 10 stars if I could. We love the DB grill crew!!!

The portions were good, the prices were decent, and it's the type of menu that works well for sharing with a group. Service was okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were efficient. Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

I like that they interact with our children even tho our children can be a handful. Their service is always quick and the food always comes out correct and hot! Most of the time they give a complimentary side order of mochi balls and give the kids these blow up flower thingys. Haha Besides things on the sides as storage for big orders like boxes, the place is well kept clean as far as tables and floors. I never seem to have a problem. That place gives our family a feel at home vibe! It's our Go To Ramen spot, so of course we will definitely visit them soon!
