    Ramen
    Ruth U.

    Everything here was so damn good!! The oysters are a MUST. The ramen was so flavorful. The deviled eggs were so creamy. The drinks were unique and strong. 10/10. Service was exceptional. I'm so pissed that I didnt realize they used to have an NYC location until last year. We came back twice on our vacation. Thats how stellar the food was!! You literally cant go wrong wirh anything on the menu. The noodles with sea urchin are an absolute must too. Please open a second location and return back to NYC!!

    Such a good restaurant. Definitely try this place. I loved the ambiance. It felt classy, trendy, romantic, cool. Good for date night or catch up with a friend. I went for early dinner with a friend. We caught the happy hour oyster special. The oysters were a little on the smaller side and I wish they gave more toppings portions (too little amount was given). Our meals were heavenly, so delicious. We ate the entire dish. Perfect amount. Looks small when you get it, but it's not. I got the sea urchin and salmon roe. I will get this dish a thousand times. Service was good. Parking...well I Ubered there. It's in the beginning of Waikiki right next to Hard Rock Cafe. There's the Parking lot/Valet near Yardhouse, or the Royal Hawaiian garage.

    Sapporo Ramen

    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.

    Waikiki is sooo lucky to have Rokc. Everything about this place is truly elevated. The service is phenomenal, only to be roped by the mind blowing food and drinks. The watermelon & Coconut cocktail as well as the Banana and Miso are my faves, incredibly complex. The pork Bun is by far the best bao I've ever had, no question. First time in my life I've actually enjoyed tartar sauce. The oysters and Yokosuka ramen were also great. I can't wait to try more things but the pork bun is the only thing I want lately haha

    We had a pretty good time at the Rokc. The food was slightly unique and mixed drinks are delicious. Services were helpful and courteous.

    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!

    Shio ramen

    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.

    Oysters happy hour from 5-7 PM, this is the bar seating area

    My boyfriend and I recently visited ROKC Hawaii after hearing it was named one of the best bars in Hawaiʻi, and it definitely lived up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The space has a cozy, intimate feel with a unique New York-meets-Tokyo vibe that makes it perfect for date night or a night out with friends. The cocktails were exceptional. My favorite was the Melon Prosciutto--it was refreshing, creative, and unlike anything I've had before. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the flavors and presentation. The food was just as impressive. We visited during oyster happy hour (5-7 PM), which was a great deal, but the standout dish for me was the mussels. They were served in a cotton candy-infused broth that was incredibly unique and absolutely delicious. It's one of those dishes you'll still be thinking about days later. The service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and it was fun watching the bartender craft the cocktails. Overall, ROKC delivered on every level: amazing drinks, incredible food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Highly recommend!

    Uni and Ikura Ramen
    Nathan K.

    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.

    Marissa K.

    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.

    Mixologist Joji was amazing at his craft. Cocktails were perfectly balanced. Enjoyed to the last drop. Others food around me looked amazing. We only tried the cocktails as we just ate. Service was 5 !!!! Loved the Japanese moody vibe. Super clean too!! Come try this new place out!!

    Egg sandwiches
    Jennifer h.

    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!

    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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
