    Having been here many times and never been disappointed no matter what I order on the menu. The people who work here seem extremely happy to be here, and that is infectious with us as customers... My daughters like it as much as I do too, which helps!

    10/10 HIGHLY recommended. Their spicy creamy vegan ramen is SO GOOD, they hooked it up with the noodles too . This restaurant is not vegan, but the fact that their vegan option is of such high quality is a testament to the level of talent in their kitchen! Hats off to the chef and the staff, food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Our server attended to us as soon as we all finished our food, she was attentive and helpful. Will definitely be coming back every time we visit

    Food service ambience excellent Establishment set up just as it was when they first opened Went for lunch, Ramen with soup not today, but I had that Hayashi Ramen instead was actually pretty good My lunch buddy had chicken and curry I guess. I'm not really sure what to say on that because I didn't try it. You can't go to a restaurant and not have fries. Their french fries are excellent. Fun fact - it's been years now since we've gotten over the pandemic however, the screens that separate diners are still up. Maybe that's a good thing since as of today June 2024 in Honolulu, Hawaii, they say Covid is coming back. I don't know! Just saying.

    I actually LOVE this place so much. I have been here several times throughout the past few years and it just never misses for me. The ambiance is very nice, especially after they removed the plastic sheets separating each table, the place feels much more lively. The service is pretty straight forward, you go in, indicate party count, and they give you table. You order and so on. The food is delicious, I usually always get the takoyaki here because I love it. It is not the most authentic as takoyaki is typically made in a special molded pan, but this one, I can tell, is fried. The soft shell crab that I randomly decided to try this time was slightly disappointing, nothing special and I wouldn't personally reorder. The chicken karaage curry done was solid, never misses for me and the karaage is always fried perfectly and very juicy and delicious. I have also ordered other ramens from them and it is always delicious as well. The price point is super fair and always leaves me more than satisfied.
