Someone say ramen? Try out Wagaya on King in the McCully/Moilili area located in a tiny strip mall with Mama Woo's closest to King. Parking is very limited, so planning your visit is helpful but street parking is available if the lot is full. This place does do queuing when the are maxed out, so also plan on waiting a couple minutes after parking or walking in.Inside is modest with chair and tables seatings, and depending on the size of your group, they can try to rearrange the tables to accommodate your group. On a past visit, we had nearly a dozen and were split up, but we totally understood, for we waited 40 mins before we got in. Though, they will do their best to get your group in all a...
My favorite ramen spot! I ordered the Garlic Wagaya Ramen and added bamboo. The soup has so much flavor! The egg is Cooked perfectly... OMG best Ramen egg!!!! If you order a ramen that doesn't come with an egg, I recommend getting one on the side! We also ordered the corn tempura and gyoza. Nice to share. Other visits I have ordered the chicken karaage and daikon salad, those are delicious as well. Wait time: no reservations but you can put your name on their waitlist on their online site before heading to the restaurant, so this saves a lot of waiting time. You will be able to see wait time and where you are on the list. Restaurant is clean and simple. Parking: small parking lot out front a...
I heard that the best ramen in Hawaii rivals that of Japan, so I had to give it a try. Every dish was a delight! The ramen was perfectly bouncy, and the broth was rich, balanced, and flavorful. I also ordered a few appetizers, and they were equally impressive! The shrimp was wonderfully bouncy and wrapped in a tasty fried coating, complete with a tail for easy eating. The chicken was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside—no fiery sauce needed to keep me coming back for more. The spicy cucumber wasn't spicy, but it was still wonderfully crunchy. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place! Thank you for an amazing meal!
This ramen restaurant was recommended by a friend and we are glad to lunch here. Off the beaten path from Waikiki, we got here by The Bus just before the lunch crowd so we were seated immediately and offered cold water. The restaurant may seat about 80 and the walls are decorated with fun, beautiful artwork. The servers were attentive and helpful with the menu. The daikon/mizuna salad was refreshing, chcken karaage was just from the fryer-cripsy with tasty dipping sauce, and our ramen bowls were delicious. I can sense the 'homemade ' texture of the ramen noodle-lovely, cooked just right.

I can only say that it was absolutely phenomenal. They still have stringent COVID-19 protocols in place, but we arrived right at opening and managed to secure a spot. The corn was extraordinary, especially when dipped in a little bit of pink sea salt. The ramen was delicious, and the shaved pork was a fantastic twist on the traditional dish. I also really enjoyed the min char sui, and the shoyu sauce took it to the next level. The only thing I wish is that I had more room in my stomach to enjoy everything completely!
LA visitor here! Was craving for some dipping ramen on my vacation and saw this place to be the most appealing.Historically it has been too difficult to find a place comparable to Tsujita Dipping Ramen. But this place puts a unique twist on dipping ramen by adding garlic spice!The portions were generous, the spice level could be adjusted, it was all for a reasonable price. 5/5 stars! The service was friendly it was a quick Uber from Waikiki. I highly recommend!
Had the veggie ramen, spring rolls, chicken karaage. Got a huge portion of the chicken (took a while to come) with a yummy tangy sauce. The ramen was AMAZING! Super flavorful! The spring rolls were good too (hot and crispy) not as oily as you’d expect. You’ll need to make reservations as they fill up quite fast but the service is quick too so you should be able to get a table with little wait time.

Best spicy ramen we’ve EVER had! The flavors were complex and everything was so fresh. Service was superb. Waitlist process was seamless. Highly recommend!
Ramen noodles are great I'd also recommend the mini char sui bowl! Last but not least, the yuzu sorbet and Kona coffee jelly are the best dessert!
