A gem. We were lucky to stumble upon this little ramen spot in Waikiki. Some of the best we've had. The tsukamen was unforgettable and the subzero temperature beer was perfection. We will certainly be making it a point to visit the next time we are back. Looks like this location is now closed. : Now its a mission to make it to their other location!!
Went here with my husband. The ramen is very tasty. The pork is a bit fatty and melts in your mouth, so flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of ramen but it was pretty yummy. My husband enjoys the dipping noodles but I liked the ramen. Very good broth. Would like bigger soup spoons as I found the spoons were not big enough. The marinated egg is great. Cash only.
Stopped by for lunch and was amazed at how much I liked the broth. Had the special with char sui and egg. The instructions state to try the broth and then add garlic and hot sauce. I ended up adding a spoon of each 3x. It made the broth super delicious. Noodles are thick and firm. Very enjoyable texture and taste. Lots of char siu. Would definitely recommend this place and I will be back for more delicious ramen! Note that the place is Cash Only.
The ramen was tasty and broth was thick. Our server was really friendly. Ramen price is around $15-20+. CASH ONLY! we didn't noticed that when we sat down, but luckily we had enough cash to pay for the meal.
Discovered this Japanese Food Court at Waikiki yesterday, and I was walking around observing the texture of the ramen noodles and this place convinced me. The three things that I am extremely picky about are A. dumplings B. ramen and C. sponge cakes. So you know when I say it's good, it should be pretty reliable. First of all, the noodles did not disappoint. It didn't taste like the package noodles, but rather the hand pulled ones. Because of the thickness, it kinda reminds me of the Northern hand pulled noodles. I ordered the cold noodles because of the weather and also cause the noodle wouldn't get soggy so quickly. The broth is a bit tangy than I like but it's perfect for this heat. It's less filling that way. Finally, the pork was flavorful and tender. Overall, I think this bowl of ramen is better than any ramen I had in Tokyo. I will try the traditional broth ramen next time when I return to Hawaii. . P.S. be prepared to drink a gallon of water afterward. It WILL make you super thirsty after. price: $15 USD CASH ONLY taste: 3.8 / 5 atmosphere: seating: Price Performance ratio: 3.8 / 5
I went to try eating Iekei Ramen Bario. It was not too oily than I expected and was good. There Pork Chashu was melted in my mouth and not too salty, I liked it. The soup was nice salty and my hubby drank the whole soup but not supposed to drink... Lol and I got extra vegetables but it was too small for me and I was disappointed. The negi green onion on the top was pretty spicy, was seasoned with salt and pepper and sesame oil. They have fresh garlic which is added after the half. It was very good combination. They also have homemade hot chili. That was pretty spicy, but I liked it.
One of the best meals I had in Waikiki, and one of the best ramens I've ever had! I got the dipping noodles, perfectly al dente, very flavorful broth, perfectly soft boiled egg. Located inside the the Japanese food mall, in a clean, but unmemorable venue. Would definitely recommend for the ramen!
Very good ramen, the broth is delicious. Personally the noodles were too thick for my liking but they were still VERY good and very fresh. The pork melted like butter in my mouth. Definitely add a few scoops of the chili powder and garlic that is provided, it’s actually recommended. Kenny took care of me and he was super nice. I came in pretty close to closing and the service as well as the food did not show that at all. Very happy!
This place is quite expensive for ramen but it’s actually quite nice with plenty of vegetables and meats. The regular sized portion is reasonable and the normal “Ramen” is good with the broth being rich. The tsukemen is quite strong in flavour so i would just try the regular ramen first and add your chilli spice and garlic to suit.
I'm impressed. The soup for the dipping ramen has more flavor than the rest. The pork is so soft, just melts in your mouth. Noodles are thick and fresh
