Ramen-Ya (4801 Warden Ave)

Bland experience. Hard boiled eggs. Okay food. Charsui was more like roast beef. Lots of noodles. Something missing from the broth. No japanese beer either. Nothing great. Just better than mall ramen.

I wanted to absolutely love this place. Their Gyoza dumplings were amazing, especially considering I got a portion for free. (Happy Hour special.) The ramen was a little too salty for me, and the egg was unfortunately hard-boiled. Just a few little touches that chose efficiency over taste.

Ngl, its comfort food. Like Sumo Ramen its local favorites, nothing fancy or special. I got the chicken katsu ramen on a rainy day. It hit the spot. Simple and savory ramen broth with lots of bean spouts, chicken katsu, and what looks to be sun noodles. Lol Would I come back, yes, time to time, since the cost is reasonable to the size.

The food was delicious, and the portions are substantial. Highly recommend.

It was raining so a few of us decided to go here after work. I have to admit… after going to Japan for so long it hard for me to really get the feel for local ramen in Hawaii… anyways let’s start with the service, which was nice and friendly, they check on you every once in a while even though it’s a small place. The food… well it’s okay, nothing to go crazy or come back for it’s a set it and forget it. The miso ramen was okay, the plus was it came with a lot of noodles. That’s all I have to say about that. The curry was okay… and even the katsu. Oh and make sure to ask for the gyoza to be well done or else it’s half cooked. Also they charge you for a take out box! So make sure you keep that in mind. They charge you for each take out box!

I had to pour half of their soy sauce bottle into the soup so that it would taste like something. Then its the hard boiled egg which is supposed to be soft boiled. The service is good, but the ramen is terrible. Ate here because everything else we wanted to go to was closed. Its that bad that I would rather eat Mcdonalds in a pinch.

When Momma said I want Ramen but don't feel like driving during rush hour traffic, then place is just right around the neighborhood. It's not the best Ramen, but it's satisfying. Mommy approved, and even the niece was happy.
