We were in the Aiea area and were looking for a place to have dinner. We ended up at Shaka Noodle. The food here is fantastic, portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. I got the two choice special combo $16.25 plus $2 upgrade for my black garlic mini ramen. I got the black garlic mini ramen with mini pork fried rice and gyoza. My hubby got the beef curry rice $15.50 with an order of mochiko chicken $7.99. The mini ramen was huge. It totally filled me up. I had to take the whole order of mini fried rice home. The ramen broth was well seasoned and not watered down like some other places. It also came with a huge piece of char siu and kamaboko. Almost everyone that came in got an order of fried rice. I can see why. It had bits of pork, kamaboko, green onion and egg in it. It also had great wok hei, which made this dish totally stand out. I tried the beef curry and it was yummy. His plate was huge with big chunks of beef. He couldn't even finish it. He thought the portion was going to be smaller. That's why he also ordered the mochiko chicken. He ended up taking the whole order home also. If you're in the area, you need to try this place out. They do a lot of take out orders and they give a military discount. read more

Took food to go, the front services was excellent and moving around like a pro. Parking next to the shop is tight but plenty of parking down past the restaurant. There is a tv that was playing Tom & Jerry then Sponge Bob which kept the kids dining in glued to the tv while you can have a conversation. The food came out in 20-25min and it was fresh. The chicken was good, seasoned and moist. The Chicken Fried Rice was also good, just a bit bland, I should have asked for hot sauce as it needs it. The teriyaki chicken was ok, a bit of an aftertaste that I was not familiar with. That was the only 3 of all the dishes. Highly recommend trying, I will be back to try the ramen. They do offer a military discount. read more

First time at this place and my wife any I both got the combination sets. I got a black garlic ramen with fish katsu and fried rice and she got the shoyu ramen and the curry rice. The char siu piece in the ramens were nice! Service was prompt. One thing to note is if you get curry rice as part of the combo, no beef pieces are included. So just sauce and rice and potatoes/carrots. I liked the fried rice. It's a bang for your buck place so go check it out! read more

Shaka Ramen was good. The garlic black ramen was the highlight, and I'd definitely recommend it. The broth was great. It came out hot, had a lot of flavor, and was powerful without being too salty or too rich. The black garlic gave it a deep flavor, though it did get slightly bitter toward the end, which I think is just part of the blackened garlic style. The ramen itself had good taste and texture. The egg was pretty typical, but solid. The pork was great. There was one piece, and it was super soft. It was not heavily soy-flavored, which I actually liked even though I usually like the soy flavor The big surprise was how good the sides were. The fried rice was excellent. It had good flavor, was very moist without being soggy, and had a nice smoky flavor with enough salt and egg. There was even pork in the fried rice, which made it feel more complete. With the naruto and everything else mixed in, it was really good. The gyoza was probably frozen, but I can't really complain. It was a good price, tasted fine, and came with both shoyu and gyoza sauce. Service was also very fast and attentive. Overall, Shaka Ramen was great value for the price and good quality read more

I'm enjoying the ownership shakeup or whatever is going on here. this place must've been through 4-5 changes. Yet, it still maintains the same menu. But, this time, the menu got better. instead of focusing on ramen, they are focusing on the Noodle. Hence the name change from SHAKE RAMEN to SHAKA NOODLE! You can still get Ramen... In addition, they have Yakisoba.. They also i have Malaysian Laksa... Don't forget about Chinese... Crispy Noodle OK?! Yes, it is.... the menu has gotten "for-the-better." read more

I HAVE HAD MANY RAMENS, AND NOT A SINGLE ONE IS EVEN CLOSE TO THE PERFECTION THIS PLACE IS! The moment I took a bite, the explosion of flavor came! It was so delicious. The udon noodles were cooked so perfect. Chewy, soft, long, and delicious! The gyoza could have been pan fried just a tad longer, they did not have much of a crisp to them, but the flavor was spot on! The ramen had al dente noodles that were very good with the perfect texture and flavor. Adding soy sauce may the bite perfect. The chicken was fried to perfect with the most crunchy crisp on the outside, and perfect tenderness on the inside. Service was excellent and speedy, and the building was very clean and decorative! I cannot wait to return! 10/10! read more

This place was top five for me in the 808. It was empty on a Saturday night, and then started filling up after 7:30pm. The bathroom is outside the front door to the back of the restaurant- a door leading to the kitchen, then a sharp left to the potty. I had the chicken katsu ramen and it was gigantic filled with broth, bamboo, bok Choy, corn, and seaweed. The service was great and I would return to try more items. read more

Read the reviews, and I know it's been around for several years, but never tried this place until I decided to ask my friends to go since we were around the area. Black garlic ramen - 4.5 stars. The charsiu is unique because it has a smoky taste on the sides, and they give thick slices. Huge servings of every item we ordered. The soup was pretty good, but it didn't have a strong black garlic taste compared to other ramen restaurants. My friends ordered the oxtail and shrimp ramen, and lots of oxtail as well as large shrimp on top of the ramen. They loved the soup. The chicken katsu was huge and flavorful, but a little on the oily side. Service - 5 stars - service was great. Server was friendly and attentive. Parking - lots of parking, but crowded. I did not see a sign to scan the QR code for the parking as we drove in, and turned right into the front of the restaurant, as other yelpers mentioned, so not sure where it is, but at least nothing happened to my car. read more

Located next to youngs kalbi in the strip mall across Mcdonalds. Parking is odd because it looks like free parking but you have to scan this QR code and enter your license plate to me its more bs. first 2 hours free then it $5... really wierd. Okay so anyways Shaka ramen is on the corner The insides is airconditioned and clean with around ten 4 people tables. Bathroom is outside around the back of the building. The menu (pic) is your typical ramen house fare ramen..curry rice dishes..fried rice...etc The presentation was awesome!! Aestethics was so nice it looked fake. Food was good with fare portions and affordable pricing. Staff was just one waitress for the whole dining room...she was all business but got the job done. If you ignore the tarded bs parking this place is a definetely great place no regrets here. read more

Noodles, katsu and char siu so thick, you won't need to eat anything else! Located conveniently in Aiea off of Moanalua Rd, they offer the best broth you could ask for in a ramen. We had tan tan ramen that hit just the right bit of spicy. The tonkatsu ramen was pork centered and delicious. Their servings are plentiful and side orders like gyoza are also wonderful. Ambiance is bright and fresh. If you're in Aiea, you've got to go here for ramen. read more

Good food and excellent service. Plenty available free parking and a good location in Aiea.

Clean neighborhood ramen joint. If you're in Aiea and you want a quick bite; this is a good place to start. Don't let the simplicity of the ramen fool you; it was flavorful. Hubby liked the fried rice and mochiko chicken. Service was good. Like I said- no fireworks but a nice place to grab a hot bowl of ramen or curry and other fried delectables. read more

First time for my wife and I, tried the takoyaki and mochiko chicken curry with fried rice! Wife got the mapo tofu on crispy noodles and chicken skewers. Takoyaki came out and I thought was gonna be piping hot...IT WASNT! but it was redone for us and was way better! The portions are huge and I didn't make a dent in my plate. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance has loud thumps from time to time because they have a gym above this restaurant! lol so don't be startled like I was as I thought someone was coming thur the roof! read more

Classic menu offers choice or type of noodles either ramen or udon. There's also combo sets, appetizers, fried rice, curry, soups, salads, and kids menu. Black Garlic Ramen broth tasted rich in flavor. Noodles tasted on the lighter side. Few large pieces of char siu, a whole boiled egg sliced in half, kamaboko, some green onions, and generous amount of bamboo shoots. Customer service was on par. Server was attentive, provided ample napkins, and refilled our waters. Lots of tables with chairs. Free parking in Aiea Town Square. read more

Shaka Noodle - Black Garlic Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

This is a good place for ramen takeout any day of the week. It's located next to Young's Kal Bee where Sakawa Ramen was. Daiichi Ramen was in this spot for a little while too. The black garlic ramen and gyoza were exactly what I was expecting. I found myself appreciating the texture of the ramen noodles. If I came back, I'd probably try the tan tan or spicy beef just for variety. I'd recommend eating here definitely. Speedy service, good portions, decent prices, tasty food. read more

Pretty solid ramen spot, I like the location. Lots to choose from and prices are good. My friend and I were the only ones inside at 5 on a weekday. It was quiet inside and one lady was taking orders. Plenty of seating and very spaced out. I had the Kim-chee hoo ramen (I was intrigued by the spice since I love all things spicy!) but I was let down. It wasn't spicy to me at all, it had great flavor and plenty of noodles and Kim chee. I only had 2 small pieces of meat though... a bit of a disappointment. read more

Felt like eating ramen and remembered about this place located in Aiea Town Square right next door to Young's Kalbi. I ordered the Special Combo which comes with ramen and 1 or 2 choices of entrees: - For the noodles, you can choose between ramen or udon, choice of Miso, Shoyu or Shio broth OR add $2 more if you want TanTan, Tonkotsu, Curry or Black Garlic broth. I chose the ramen with Miso broth. It didn't have too much taste and did not taste like miso. - Entree choices are Mini Curry Rice, Mochiko Chicken, 4-piece gyoza, Calamari, Mini Pork Fried Rice, Takoyaki, Croquette, Shrimp, Fish, Chicken or Spam Katsu. I ordered the Mini Curry Rice and Chicken Katsu. Both were okay...nothing stood out except maybe the katsu sauce...this was good. I was disappointed with the katsu pieces...it didn't look at all like the pics people posted on Yelp or their menu. What I received looked like scraps, it had more batter than meat. For the amount of food I got for $15.25, it's pricey...a little over $5 a dish but I'm guessing it's because you're paying for a variety of food you receive. read more

The food is absolutely amazing, world class Ramen! Noodles were outstanding in the beef. Ramen was prepared perfectly.

Decent ramen place with a lot of different ramen choices. They have a good variety of kid choices too. The ramen was good, broth ok but my kids loved the spam katsu! Service was good and polite. read more

First impressions: Inviting, warm, clean and great customer service (we came in close to closing and we were greeted nicely!) I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen as recommended by others and I was not disappointed! Husband enjoyed his Spicy Beef Ramen because nothing clears up your sinuses like a good spicy hot bowl of ramen! They have all the additives vinegar, garlic, shoyu and gyoza sauce in elegant pieces on your table for easy convenience. We also ordered spring rolls and pork fried rice. Everything together was so tasty. Food came in a timely manner and service was amazing. Our waitress ran out to us thinking we over paid with tip on card and cash. She did great! Mahalo Shaka Ramen we will recommend your business to everyone and will be back again! read more

Okay I've eaten here three times as it's literally at the bottom of the hill from our house. I'm a fan of Mapo Tofu Soup, love the spiciness, the thicker viscosity and the silky tofu that together makes this a perfect soup for me. Unfortunately both times I've ordered it I was disappointed. This last time the soup broth was too thin, I didn't even add the accompanying miso because it was so weak. Once I pulled the udon noodles through the gravy broth it was watery and nearly flavorless. There was maybe half the amount of tofu and it was cubed too small so they just broke apart. The gyoza I ordered were fried nicely however they were sweet which was off putting. Not sure it they actually added sugar instead of salt or because there were carrots in them. I've never had carrots in gyoza that I remember. I did enjoy the Soba salad that I got after an appointment at another business but it's pretty hard to get that wrong. Ordering was very easy over the phone each time and ready when we got there to pick up. The workers are pleasant and accommodating. Parking is in a shared and is the location of the old Daiichi Ramen business. read more
