We stumbled into this restaurant on a random walk and were pleasantly surprised by the ambience, the food and service. The mussels and egg sandwiches are a must try. The ramen was tasty and decently portioned. Prices were very fair! We will be back! read more

Rokc - Egg sandwiches - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I came across this hidden gem recently and decided to give it a try since I usually avoid Waikīkī food scene in general. The ambiance of the restaurant was sophisticated but modern. I normally don't drink but decided to enjoy a cocktail. The Melon and Prosciutto got my eye. And wow what a delicious drink! Sweet and savory with the bite of the prosciutto. The menu of this restaurant was not large but all the dishes were well executed. The oysters were so fresh. Tip: they have daily happy hour special for oysters from 5 pm to 6 pm. If you are an oyster lovers, you won't be disappointed. My buddy and I sampled other appetizers like scallop ceviche and cotton candy mussels. They both blew my mind in terms of presentation and favors. The only thing it would have topped it off was some toasted bread for the leftover broth from the mussels. I didn't want to waste it so I just spooned it off to satisfy my taste bud. It was so yummy. For the entrees, my buddy had Sapporo Ramen. Again, it was full of umami. I had the Wagyu and bone marrow ramen. It was very rich and savory. Just a heads up, this restaurant does not serve dessert but you can find plenty options while in Waikiki. They have two-hour free validation across the street at Bank of Hawaii building. If you are craving for fine cocktails, delicious modern Japanese food, you should give it a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

One of my new favorite places in Waikiki! Newly founded by Joji Watanabe, a Japanese mixologist and restaurateur who relocated from NYC where he started NR and ROKC. As the name suggests, they specialize in ramen, oysters, and specialty cocktails. They are most known for their wide selection of clarified milk punches, which were fantastic. We had the Smokey Pina Colada ($18) and Banana & Miso ($18), both fantastic. All of the food was also delicious, including the ramen, scallop ceviche, and pork bun. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here on a whim since my boss suggested it! Cool new place with speakeasy vibes. They had a great selection cocktail options including a page just for clarified drinks. All the drinks were made tasty. We ordered a round of oysters for the table, they were really fresh. For the mains, I got the bone marrow wagyu dry ramen which was fabulous. Very rich, buttery, and umami. I wish the portions were just a little bit bigger. Some others also got the shio ramen, I was able to try some and it tasted like very solid shio ramen. I didn't get to try enough to give it a full rating but from what I just got, it was flavorful too. Not too heavy but the perfect amount of satisfaction. Cool spot to come hang and grab some drinks! Loved the interior design, it felt very intimate. read more

This was a very pleasant find in Waikiki. Decided to head here with friends after a work event. Nice space, friendly service and great food and drinks. We enjoyed the fresh oysters, deviled eggs with Ikura and Uni, karaage chicken, and luxurious uni and Ikura ramen. Everything was well prepared and very good. Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Came here hungry and left very happy. Everything we ordered hit the spot, but a few things really stood out. The chicken karaage was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, not greasy at all. Seasoning was on point and it paired so well with the dipping sauce -- honestly hard to stop eating. The truffle egg sando was rich, fluffy, and indulgent in the best way. The truffle flavor was balanced (not overpowering), and the eggs were soft and creamy between pillowy bread. Comfort food elevated. Don't sleep on the mussels with sauce -- so flavorful and satisfying. The sauce was incredible, and we definitely made sure to soak up every last bit. Fresh, well-cooked, and generously portioned. To top it off, the yuzu mocktail was super refreshing -- bright, citrusy, and perfectly balanced. A great non-alcoholic option that didn't feel like an afterthought. Overall, great flavors, solid execution, and food that feels both comforting and elevated. Would absolutely come back just for these dishes alone. read more

Delicious ramen and cocktails. Nice decor and great evening dinner or date night vibes. Highly recommend if in the area. Standout items are the yuzu edamame, scallops device, and any of their ramen dishes. Noodles are perfectly al dente. So so good! read more

Not even kidding ... best meal I have ever had in the island... maybe of all time. They just opened Jan 2026 and moved from NY. I could eat this menu everyday for the rest of my life and die happy. Food: - oysters: came with cocktail sauce, lemon and a shallot/vinegarrette sauces. Wish it had a horse radish and for that it looses a point but i would still order this fresh seafood dish every time. 9/10 - Beer cotton candy muscles: 10/10 (everything about this made my tastebuds dance) a tangy yuzu mixed with a savory beer broth with the perfect sweet and salty bite if muscle - perfection. -Bao buns: 9/10 - more for the picky eater. No complaints but nothing special. A perfectly cooked piece if pork on a fluffy bao bun with a creamy mayo like sauce. Delish. - tokyo ramen: 10/10 it came with the most perfect jammy egg, umami bamboo shoots, loads of green onions and the perfectly cooked and cut noodles and broth. The soup was seasoned to perfection. Even my hubby loved it and he isn't a big ramen guy. Service: PHENOMENAL - he walked through the menu, gave the best suggestions and was very attentive. Drinks: talk to the server, they will give you the best tips. The Truffle and the Melon&prosciutto are pairings and are def worth the try. Truffle comes with cheese and the melon comes with a dried prosciutto. I loved the honeydew flavor if the melon one. Ambiance: i went on a date here with my husband and i couldn't imagine a more romantic place to spend a night out without the kid. The lighting was dim and candled, the art was a masterpiece and the bathroom was clean. Everything about this place was perfect even the music. Saxophone... very nice touch. You will find a place with the best cocktails or the best food... but this place had BOTH! I almost don't want to share this gem but that would be a disservice to this mastery. read more

Amazing experience throughout the entire time! Ramen and Oysters were definitely the highlight! This place takes you on a culinary adventure with your tastebuds! We came in and honestly there isn't as much people as I anticipated! A clean and classy aesthetic with beautiful artwork! To kick it off, i had the Melon and Prosciutto cocktail and it was a clarified drink that took my mind straight to Italy with a dehydrated prosciutto that really rounded the drink and re-imagined this classic appetizer pairing! The grape was the perfect palette cleanser. The oysters was an amazing delight too, a light, not too heavy vinegary mignonette and cocktail sauce seemed a bit thick, but packs little to no spicy! My favorite was the Wagyu and Bone Marrow Ramen which is what drew me to come here! It did not disappoint! The fattiness of the marrow along with butter melting wagyu mixed with the chewy noodles! Mussels were fresh with a cute tableside service that I must have a redo because I never got to record this! It was spectacular and a MUST!!!! Whocwould habe thought cotton candy and beer with mussels would be this good! Mindblowing experience all around! All you non-alcholic peeps, Yuzu lemonade kinda took my breathe away. And it wasn't your ordinary lemonade, the perfect little sweet and tart and smells soo good too! Overall, i will be back for more! The owner Joji and mixologist Yujin were so nice too. We were mesmerized watching the mixologist as you can tell the drinks come with pride and excellence all the time! Let's not forget to shoutout our amazing server Shota! Thank you for making this a great time! read more

Rokc - Botanical garden - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

ROKC Hawaii is an experience from start to finish. The ambiance is moody, intimate, and effortlessly cool - one of those places you immediately want to settle into for the evening. The cocktails were outstanding and easily a highlight. The Yuzu & Sansho was bright with a subtle peppery kick, the Botanical Garden was clean and refreshing, and the Matcha High Ball was light, crisp, and beautifully balanced. Every drink felt thoughtfully crafted rather than gimmicky. Food was equally impressive. The Deviled Egg + Egg + Egg was playful and rich, the Scallop Ceviche was fresh and vibrant, and the Mussel + Beer + Cotton Candy was both fun and surprisingly delicious. The Karaage was perfectly crispy, and the Tokyo Ramen was comforting and full of flavor. Excellent service throughout--friendly, knowledgeable, and well-paced. ROKC Hawaii nails ambiance, cocktails, and food. We'll absolutely be back. read more

BOMB!!! I don't know how we came across this place but I highly recommend it , unfortunately I had to take it easy on my dice tolerance so I ordered the chicken with corn ramen and it was Divine wish I could've tasted each plate that was ordered on the table. Perfect place for Valentine's, date nights or even to get good quality Asian food . The ambiance and atmosphere of this place is dark ,earthy and romantic. And all servers are very very nice and knowledgeable of what they are selling. Now since I was going easy I couldn't try the cocktail's BUT... I ordered the Yuzu lemonade and OMG !!!! I that was literally liquid gold! My mom's friend ordered the fresh ginger ale and that was also pretty amazing too , and I don't like ginger also supposedly am "allergic/intolerant " to Ginger . So I highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to dress up and get a good meal for a reasonable price! read more

Rokc - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The best cocktails in Honolulu, with amazing service and a super cool New York-style atmosphere.

The food was good overall, though the menu is on the smaller side and there's no dessert offered. The ambiance was nice, dimly lit and great for a date spot. Parking is available at the Bank of Hawaii lot across the street, and the restaurant does validate. Cocktails were solid, with most starting around $18. Pricing felt fair for the quality, except for the Wagyu ramen, which was a bit pricey, the Wagyu is locally sourced. Standout dishes for us were the clams, which were super flavorful, the egg sandwich where the truffle flavor really comes through, and the scallops, which were also delicious and well seasoned. The only minor downside was the service. It wasn't bad, but it could be more attentive. For example, the clams came with sauce, but we also had dry appetizers and no extra plates were provided, so putting dry items on a wet plate would have made them soggy. Small details like that could be improved. read more

It was busy when we came during dinner time , but luckily didn't have to wait long . Great ambiance with perfectly balanced lighting. At first it felt a little dark, but once we settled in, it was calm and relaxing with no harsh brightness. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is the real highlight. It's incredibly tasty without being overpriced. The menu is small, but everything we ordered was delicious. I lost some of the photos, but we ordered about 6 or 7 dishes The drinks are just as good--creative, refreshing, and full of flavor. read more

The new ROKC in Waikiki by Hard Rock feels like you are in Japan but comes from NYC. Everything is exceptional from the bar bites to the precise cocktails. We had the best deviled eggs ever, super light karaage with matcha salt, a decadent egg and truffle Sando with clarified butter, salmon, uni and ikura noodles, bone marrow and Wagyu noodles, inventive yet classic cocktails. -- I had the Japanese Vesper and it was perfection. They have amazing glassware and hand chopped ice. Be sure to sit at the bar and watch the mixology magic. Great service too. read more

Amazing service and cocktails by Joji and Yujin! Reminds me of Tokyo bar scene. Visited a couple times in one week. The girls and I all together tried a dozen different cocktails and they were all delicious. My personal favorite is the Banana & Miso. The Mussel + Beer + Cotton Candy and Bone Marrow & Wagyu were a hit too! Can't wait to try more ramen! read more

ROKC is the kind of place that turns dinner in Waikiki into an adventure. Incredible handcrafted cocktails (the Botanical Garden is a must), a cozy, speakeasy-style vibe, and food that absolutely delivers. There were four of us and zero duplicate orders, which made it easy to taste our way across the menu--and honestly, everything hit. From flavorful appetizers to rich, comforting ramen, it was all so good. Great service, great energy, and a spot we'd happily return to again. Welcome to Waikiki ROKC - happy you are here ! read more

Reasonably priced excellent oysters on the half shell, $3.50 each, Kirin beer $7.00 , tasty pork buns $7.00 are reasons we keep coming back here. There are also some very tasty drinks served in innovative ways . Mine came in a light bulb sitting on ice in a copper cup. The service is friendly, very welcoming and makes this a fun experience. edit to remove 5 stars 3rd visit 22 Jan Steamed pork buns served without basket cover as previously = not steaming. Oysters not as fresh. We left without ordering main with no intention of returning. There is no red wine or sake. read more

Joji and Yujin are an incredible team. The cocktail menu is delicious, creative and innovative. Something for everyone from the sweet and smoky "Smoky Pina Colada" with mezcal to the classic and easy to sip"Hemingway" daiquiri. The food menu is small but perfectly fit for the vibe and space. My favorites: the scallop ceviche and the mussels with cotton candy. My friend and I also enjoyed the juicy mouth watering chicken karaage with matcha salt. Let's not forget the Wagyu and Bone Marrow ramen which I am currently day dreaming about. I am lucky to live a short walk away, but for locals who are curious: it's definitely worth the trip to Waikiki. read more

Loved the New York vibes of this bar! The "signature" cocktails were weird sounded but so so good!

Amazing ambiance and food. We had the vegetarian ramen, oysters, and Tokyo ramen and loved all of it.

Super over priced for ramen and appetizers. You can get better food at Mitsuwa for cheap and better quality

The ambience, servers and food were all outstanding. Will definitely return. Be sure to park at the BOH building across the street.

What you see and what you get are two different things. When you walk in it looks beautiful and welcoming. The problems start when you order drinks. From dropping drinks on the floor to giving everyone the wrong drink. That's just drinks. Once you get to the food, they confuse you more with their answer when asking questions about the dish. It felt like we couldn't ask a question about food, almost like a burden to the staff. The experience speaks for itself. It was so bad that we ended our night at another restaurant. read more

Where do I start..... 1. The server struggled to get orders right, every time she delivered a drink or food, it was to the wrong person 2. We ordered specialty drinks, one had a presentation at the table but it was dropped. We were told they would re-do it and instead she just delivered the drink and said she couldn't fix it 3. My food was gross so I sent it back and they still charged us full price 4. Here's where we had enough, one of our guests has a severe gluten allergy and is allergic to coconut. We asked what on the menu she could eat, they offer gluten free noodles but no gluten free soy sauce which is already mixed into everything so there really isn't a gluten free ramen option...the other item she could eat had coconut so that wasn't an option either. In an effort to save our dining experience we asked if she could order from another place close by so we could all enjoy a meal together. After asking the manager twice we were told that our guest just needed to order from their menu. They have no regard for their guest experience, their manager is rude, insensitive, and has no regard for guests with food allergies. Sanitary-lastly, while mixing a drink, as I asked one last time what our guest could eat without getting sick, the manager mixed a guest drink then put the mixing spoon in his mouth and placed it back in the bar serving cup.....gross, just like his attitude. Don't be fooled by what looks like a cool atmosphere, you will walk away disappointed. We left and went to another restaurant so our friend can eat too. read more
