Noods Ramen Bar (377 Keahole St)
About
Modern Ramen Craft in Hawaii Kai
Tucked into the bustling Koko Marina Center, Noods Ramen Bar brings a sharp, contemporary edge to the Honolulu noodle scene. The space hums with an infectious energy, characterized by the rhythmic clatter of ceramics and the focused intensity of chefs working over steaming broth vats. It is the kind of place where the casual, open-air island spirit meets the precise, disciplined art of Japanese ramen.
The Broth Philosophy
At the center of the menu, the signature Tonkotsu broth serves as the foundation for their most popular bowls. Expect a rich, opaque liquid that has been simmered for hours until it achieves a silky, coating consistency. The noodles themselves maintain a distinct snap—a rarity in many local spots—providing the necessary texture to balance the fatty, umami-heavy soup. If you prefer something lighter, their Yuzu Shio offers a sharp, citrus-forward finish that cuts through the humidity of a typical East Honolulu afternoon.
A Local Favorite
This spot is ideal for those wrapping up a hike at Koko Head or heading home after a day at Sandy Beach. The layout is compact, which means during peak dinner hours, the acoustics can get quite lively, and you might find yourself sharing a proximity to your neighbor’s bowl that feels more like a communal dining experience than a private table. Despite the limited elbow room, the efficiency of the staff keeps the line moving smoothly. It remains a top choice for residents of the Hawaii Kai area seeking a bowl that avoids the overly processed flavors found in standard quick-service chains, favoring house-made oils and perfectly jammy soft-boiled eggs instead.

I tried Noods Ramen Bar for the first time recently and had a wonderful experience. The cashier was very kind and courteous. The food was delicious and portions were reasonable. I like that there are both indoor and outdoor seating options.

A month ago we were here and really liked this place, so today we decided to come back for lunch. Unfortunately, this time the experience was very different. What we were served didn’t taste like ramen at all. It was more like instant noodles with chili oil added. We ordered two different ramen dishes, but they tasted almost exactly the same. We are very disappointed because the food was much better the last time we visited.

Best choice of vegan Ramen. Each of them has a distinct taste. My pick is Vegan Miso with dumplings

We just moved to Hawaii Kai so we wanted to try it. The food was delicious and perfectly made. The vegan options are various and you won’t miss the meat. We’ll definitely be a regular.

My family has eaten here twice and everyone loved it. Super tasty ramen and sides. Great customer service, this will be our new Friday night go to instead of pizza now.

Has all the hallmarks of a quality ramen experience: tender and flavorful char siu, firm/al dente noodles with perfect amount of chew, and broth good enough to want to drink every drop. Plenty of vegan options and the happy hour special shouldn't be missed as the crispy kimchi pot stickers were a treat unto themselves. Customer service was attentive, welcoming, and enhanced the overall experience.

I had Tan Tan ramen. It was delicious and it came with free Happy hour Gyoza. I ate at the outside patio. Looking over water was beautiful. Nice addition to Hawaii Kai.
