Baikohken

Loved the spicy tan tan...added a drop of the chili oil to every scoop for the additional spice kick to the already flavorful broth. My daughter also loved the creamy butter and corn miso broth. In total, the Ramen is delicious the chili oil is very flavorful and spicy.

Was slightly disappointed because every time we visited Stix, this place always had a line up. So we decided to try it. Ramen was ok, broth was not as flavourful as it should be. Char siu was hit or miss. Mine was really tender but my daughter’s piece was quite tough. I really enjoyed the gyoza though.

Miso ramen is better what we ate in Osaka. We came back again in 3 days. One of the waiter is genius and warm who can speak Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Inside of the Asian STIX food court I really like this ramen place. My husband and I have gone several times and each time we try something different and it is always sooo good. The staff are really friendly. The wait isn't long at all. We have gone for both lunch and dinner service. I definitely recommend this place.

The gyoza was good. Had to order seconds. The fried chicken was good. I saw this guy on YouTube rate their shio ramen a 10/10. It was alright. If you like ramen on the bland side. The shoyu was better. The miso was better.

Gyoza (4.5/5): Skin had a great texture and the inside was juicy. Zangi (Fried Chicken) (4/5): Tender chicken. Would taste a bit better with a mayo or aioli sauce. Spicy Miso Ramen (3.5/5): I understand that spicy ramens are typically $1 or $2 more than non-spicy ramen, but the $4 price difference between this or a shio/shoyu makes no sense. The noodles were cooked perfectly, but the broth just tasted like chili. I think it makes more sense to order a shio/shoyu and just use the chili oil that's provided at the table, as there isn't extra noodle or meat compared to the regular ramens. Also, I don't think the bamboo shoots were marinated at all, as it tasted like unseasoned gelatin. I would suggest marinating the bamboo shoots separately and cutting them into much thinner slices. The decor of this place is quite unique as there is a massive table in the middle with an imitation tree that's done tastefully. Also, the side tables have wooden engravings under the glass that looked cool. Service was standard and friendly.

This little spot was perfect after a long travel day from Colorado. This was our first stop upon arriving to Waikīkī. The miso ramen was good. The atmosphere was nice, and the decor added a unique touch. The staff was very friendly!

The atmosphere was clean and nice. The food though, wasnt the best. I ordered the spicy Waikiki special ramen and it came with cold peices of food (the bamboo shoot, top parts of the cha siu, egg). They also added a fat cut of butter on top; the soup wasn't nearly warm enough to melt the butter quickly. I'd recommend elsewhere for ramen, especially at the prices they were charging.

I’m a Japanese ramen lover, and this was my first visit. The staff welcomed me with a big smile and were so friendly! It was around 2 p.m., so the place wasn’t crowded, and my ramen and gyoza came out very quickly. The manager and kitchen staff seemed to have a great relationship, which made the atmosphere even nicer. Both the service and the taste were absolutely amazing!

Anytime I hear or see the word "Michelin" associated with any restaurant, I get all excited especially if they're located near me. This was the case with Baikohken, a chain of ramen shops from Hokkaido with a handful of international locations including this location in Waikiki. My impetuous reading had me thinking they were awarded a Michelin STAR, but turns out it was a Michelin PLATE rating, a brand new category born in 2016 to award restaurants that "simply serve good food". Still prestigious but nothing like obtaining a star. ATMOSPHERE: Located in the former Waikiki Yokocho now known as Stix, seating is very limited. The place was clean and organized. MENU: Ramen, cold ramen, rice bowls, apps, beer, sake, whiskey. FOOD: Gyoza The five pork-filled dumplings had thin wrappers that could've been seared more but had great taste. No gyoza sauce was available but you can make your own creation with the table condiments of shoyu, chili oil and vinegar. Shoyu Ramen So this was the infamous broth that garnered them a Michelin Plate mention. The combined dual broths of "animal & seafood essences" (pork & chicken bones with dried fish & seaweed) made for a beefy-porky-shoyu taste that had a subtle medium depth; definitely in my top five of best shoyu broths. The curly noodles were perfectly chewy and plentiful. Standard toppings were shoyu-soaked chashu that were a bit tough, and shoyu-soaked "huge" bamboo shoots which were way thicker and softer than your mainstream version. I added bean sprouts that were mixed with white onions and minced pork, and a halved ajitama. Highly recommended for the shoyu broth fan. SERVICE: The server quickly cleared and clean the area for us and got us started. Food delivery was quick and we were checked on throughout our meal. Greetings and farewells were plentiful in the Japanese tradition. OVERALL: Do they deserved the Michelin Plate rating? I'd say yes as the three items we had were really good.
