I walked here from Waikiki thinking that the prices would be under $10 for ramen based on the old menu but discovered upon sitting down that the prices had gone up. (I uploaded the new menu prices for your convenience). I ordered the black tonkatsu ramen which had subtle hints of garlic throughout the broth. The noodles were cooked well as well as the egg. Also tried the gyoza which came recommended in the reviews. The filling was delicious but I was disappointed to see that the gyoza was soggy and not crispy. Also ordered the fried rice which was quite good! The flavours were very well balanced! My wife ordered the spicy tantan ramen and it was very reminiscent of Dan dan noodles. Overall, it wasn’t a bad meal. There are just a few improvements that need to be made to make this a must visit place! You won’t be blown away by the meals here but you won’t be disappointed either!
It's definitely not the best ramen in Hawai'i, as everybody pleads, but it IS pretty good though overpriced due to the hype
Best Ramen on the island, period!
Great ramen but tacky. The food here is wonderful. The restaurant itself is a bit tacky. Videos of the owner's cable TV program (not quality in itself) constantly cycles on the TV screen on the wall, and the staff all wear the TV show's promo T-shirts. I'm there to eat at branch of Tenkaippin, not to support a bad television program. It does detract from what could be a much better experience at this location. My friends and I simply make a conscious effort to eat and get out of there as soon as possible.
Wonderful ramen. Tried couple of their ramen. Both were very good. Soup came out very hot and noodles texture is good. Soup have lot of flavors. Definitely come back to try out other soups. Service was very good and friendly. Highly recommended.
I absolutely love coming here. The staff has always been friendly and the food delicious. I bring friends and family here all the time and everyone has enjoyed themselves. Definitely enjoy coming here for the food and atmosphere. Since covid the staff here has done there best to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for both its staff and customers. So if you a seasoned ramen eater or trying it out for the first time, you should definitely try the ramen here.
We were so glad we found this place. I know the name was so popular but I’ve never tried before. We ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, Miso Ramen with fried rice and gyoza set. My son said that was the best fried rice he ate😅
Both ramen were delicious and service was great. I don’t know why the restaurant wasn’t busy. But that’s good for us! No line, quick and delicious food. Definitely coming back!

We came here around 11am on a Sunday, right when they open. I came here after seeing a campy-commercial for it in a nail salon and the pictures of the ramen looked so delicious that I had to come check it out! And, they did not disappoint.
Food: I enjoy spicy ramen, so I got the spicy ramen with pork, corn, egg, and bamboo chutes. The broth was tasty and hot, and the pork was ground up just the way I like it (I'm not as much of a fan of the big strips of pork). The gyozas were hot and flavorful, just the way I like it.
Parking: the parking wasn't an issue as there is a parking lot around the corner that provides free parking for people attending the starbucks and a few other shops.
Service: the service was excellent. There was only one server and she was attentive, timely, and the food came out fast!
Atmosphere: the interior felt homey and very local. I felt like I was in a genuine ramen shop from out of Japan. The space is pretty small, so not something I would recommend for large parties. The TV was set to the owner's show, Ultimate Japan's host & hostess on tour as well as a few campy episodes from Ryujin Mabuyer Okinawan Super Hero which made for some humorous entertainment.
The food was so good, I will definitely be coming back!
Just visit here without a doubt. We ordered Ala carte menu Spicy tantan ramen and Black Tonkotsu ramen
Then we chose set A and C which includes small fried rice and 3 fried chicken wings. We walked like 30min from Sea Shore condos opposite Hyatt and we were very very happy with the Remen. Bear in mind that this restaurant is very busy and sometimes you can wait for hours to get in.
This is a small but cozy ramen joint which has a great selection of ramen for you to choose. The pricing is relatively good, totally affordable with the average price for one bowl of ramen at around $12.
The staffs were nice, friendly, and helpful. They will give you suggestions based on your taste in ramen.

Authentic Japanese ramen
The absolute best ramen shop state side.
I’ve not found any other place that compares too. I’ve been in many times over the years; never had a bad bowl.
Best ramen on the island. Locals spot. Sit at the counter and enjoy a warm authentic bowl. Great list of Japanese beers too. Gyoza are the perfect blend of crispy and soft.
Kotteri, when they have it, rocks! Now a consistent Go To for me. Add the Garlic Steak to, cause you can. Orion draft is a nice addition. Quick, convenient, consistent. Jessy, Scott, Mayumi all rock! 😉🤙✌️

Continue to rock the Kotteri if available, and the strak and fly rice! Yeah, creature of one of my favorite habits. 😉🤙✌️
I went here just a few minutes ago all the way from Laie just to try their Kotteri Ramen, but it wasn't available. I tried their Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen with Garlic Butter Oyster and it was the best ramen I've had!
