Daiichi Ramen - Kailua Kona

Tried the Special Combo with udon and mini pork fried rice - everything was delicious. Service was fast, portions were great, and the pork fried rice is absolutely bomb. So much flavor! Highly recommend!

Great spot for affordable and tasty ramen. Broth is flavorful, noodles are cooked perfectly, and portions are generous. Fast service and friendly staff. Always a reliable choice!

Absolutely love Daiichi Ramen! Delicious food, fast service, and great prices. Every visit is a 10/10. Highly recommend to anyone craving amazing ramen!

Food comes out quickly and it’s always very good. Our favorites are the spicy tonkotsu and the gyudon with gyoza and chicken katsu!! Great place to stop when you’re in town!

I wanted to like this but it was the worse Ramen we’ve ever had. The soup was okay but nothing else was positive. One little piece of meat, about 6 pieces of green onion, and skinny slice of fish cake. The fried rice wasn’t bad but nothing special and the chicken katsu was also okay except they serve ketchup for dipping the chicken instead of bulldog sauce or almost any other Japanese flavored sauce. The curry tasted good but there was no meat just 4 pieces of vegetable and rice. All in all we cannot understand how this shop got a 4.2 except it was maybe family, college kids or people who otherwise never had decent Japanese food before.

We ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen, Tonkotsu Ramen, and Fried Calamari Curry Rice. The food came out very quickly, and every dish was delicious. The flavors were rich and satisfying, the beef was tender, and the noodles had a great chewy texture. Highly recommend!

Tried this cute ramen place called Daiichi Ramen and it totally exceeded expectations! They have a combo option where you can get a bowl of ramen + a side dish—perfect portion for girls. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen, which was flavorful and had the right level of spice for someone like me who can’t handle super spicy food. For sides, we got the fried chicken cutlet and pan-fried pork & cabbage dumplings, both were generous in portion and really tasty. We were afraid it wouldn’t be enough, so we added an egg fried rice—also huge. Honestly, each girl could barely finish her share and we ended up packing the rest to-go. I also had a craving for Japanese curry, so I went for the Curry Pork Cutlet Rice—the curry was thick and fragrant, just mildly spicy, the pork was crispy outside and juicy inside, and the rice and tofu were perfectly done. Even girls with a big appetite might find it hard to finish a full bowl solo! For drinks, I chose lemon tea and Thai milk tea—both safe and solid options. The Thai tea tasted just like the ones from my favorite Thai restaurants in NYC, and the lemon tea wasn’t overly sweet—super refreshing, especially after a beach day.
