I had large tonkotsu ramen with spicy garlic broth. This is somewhat creamy but really delicious ramen. The server took time to understand what type of ramen we would like including mixing spice and garlic broth.
Casual dining with exceptional gyoza and decent ramen. Do expect to wait due to limited seating.
Gyoza: full of chive and garlicky goodness. One of the best in Honolulu. I could seriously munch on these all day! Highly recommend.
Miso Ramen: I would best describe it as a quality ramen. Well sourced ingredients make up the smooth broth, umami packed cha sui, and egg. Other reviews suggest that the ramen is amazing. From my experience and person bias, the miso broth was light and a tad too oilly. In addition, it lacked the bursts of umami found in exceptional ramen. I would definitely get it with the negi (spring onion) to counteract the grease next time! Ps 8/10 spicy is a little less spicy compared to a pack of shin ramen.
Nonetheless, a great place for family and friends for a casual lunch/dinner. Lots of parking nearby.
Excellent ramen spot in Honolulu. The broth for the Garlic Miso Ramen and Tomato Ramen were rich but not overpowering. The Tantan Men, however, had really strong sesame flavor. Noodles had a good chew, and complimented the broths perfectly. Indoor seating is rather limited, they'll likely seat you outside at first, though you can request to move inside later. If you're a fan of ramen, definitely don't pass this place up!
