Ayame Curry Ramen House

My son and I visited Ayame Curry And Ramen House for the first time this past Friday. We have to be cautious with any new restaurant because of allergies. I called beforehand, and the person on the phone was pleasant and assured me that the sauce would not affect our particular allergies. We both had Combo Set C. This consisted of shoyu ramen, pork fried rice, and pork gyoza. The ambiance was casual and relaxed. We walked in just after they opened, so there was no crowd. The greeter welcomed us warmly, presented us with a menu, and said that someone would be there to help us shortly. I asked about the ramen base and cooking oil, because of my shell fish and my son's peanut allergies. She assured us that they use a shoyu base, and would explain to the cooks about our allergy concerns. She was friendly, and helpful. We both appreciated that. My son and I were already enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, and the quick, reassuring, pleasant service. When the food came we were delightfully surprised. The scrumptious smell of the ramen filled the air as it was brought to our table. It was delectable to the eyes, as well as the olfactory senses. The gyoza, and fried rice came shortly afterward. All of our dishes were prepared promptly, and proficiently. The ramen was warm and savory. I normally don't like to finish the soup, because it has a tendency to be too salty. Not so with this sauce. It was perfect. My son commented that I inhaled, rather than discarded it, like I usually do. The fried rice was wonderful, an amalgamation of flavors brought together in an impeccable way. The gyoza effortlessly complimented this combo. With great quality food, service, and ambiance, we will definitely be back here again, just as most of Kaneohe.

Small restaurant in shopping center. Service was good. Plenty of seats and was not packed when I went. I had gyozas and the Katsu chicken curry wish based off other reviews was their most popular dish. The gyozas were same as you would get anywhere else. The Chicken was crispy and tasted good. The curry taste is ok, it's was good but not as flavorful as I expected from the reviews. All in all a good meal but can't say I'd go out of my way for it.

Growing up in Kaneohe, I've dined at Ayame for years. It's not a fancy place; it's comparable to spots like Sumo Ramen, but better. ​This is my baseline place for average ramen and curry. When you are craving a solid bowl of ramen or a plate of curry, it's the spot to go. ​Their combos are priced well for the amount of food you receive—definitely worth it. My usual order is the Chicken Katsu Curry with a small ramen and gyoza set. ​The atmosphere is welcoming and a good place for families with children. The evening we dined in, there were at least four families with children or babies with them.
