Aji Ramen

This place is rated high for a reason. I apologize for a long overdue review of Aji Ramen but the reviews are not a fluke. This place has become my go to place for really good food and awesome customer service. The food here is always consistently tasty and made well. If you compare the prices here to other restaurants, you'll see that Aji is very affordable too. You'll also see that their portions are very generous considering inflation is hitting every restaurant everywhere.What also keeps us coming back is the excellent customer service. You're always genuinely greeted, thanked, you're never rushed and they're always keeping the restaurant very clean. A big mahalo to the staff of Aji Ramen, keep up the awesome work!

Important note to start this review. As there is no bathroom. It's inside the store next door, unfortunately making this hard for a single parent. Or someone coming with children. Be mindful when picking this location an use the facility next door before getting a table. The menu has something for everyone. The small ramen is not really that small though. We still had so much food. For $40 we had more than enough for myself and my 10 year old son. Service was wonderful and the space is quaint and relaxing. The egg drop soup was so yummy. My son enjoyed his ramen and he chose not to have the pork, he asked for it plan. We asked for fried rice with no veggies but it came with bean sprouts and cabbage. He was not impressed and we brought it home for the less picky brothers he has. He didn't have any room left to eat more anyways.The show stopper for me was the side of chicken katsu curry. It was delicious. The chicken was perfectly coated and fried and the curry sauce was really good. The gyoza was lightly fried. The inside pork mix was okay. A bit crunchier insides than I prefer with extra ginger and cabbage and green onions? I'm not sure. My son thought they were okay too. The ponzu sauce was not a favorite. I preferred just soy sauce. I also used the chili oil that was at the table for extra flavor.

This place is great. So went here for dinner with the wife. Walked in at 1615, seated immediately. Not too busy; two other couples in the place. 7 total tables, so plenty of room still left. Gave our order at 1618 and received the food at 1623.Portions are enormous. I ordered the Aji Ramen and it is massive with generous portions of ...well... everything. Everything tastes so ono!Also got a side order of crab Rangoon. Prices are not bad. Cheaper than most plate lunch places nowadays. Definitely recommend this place!

You receive a most sincere greeting when you enter and a big friendly smiles while we were leaving as I said, "We'll be back."They have many choices on their menu. Hubs said his won tun ramen was okay. We signed up for their 15% off to return.My Combo A was go generous I had to take the 4 piece gyoza and mochiko chicken, rice & Mac salad home. As soon as I tasted the noodles, cooked to perfection, it reminded me of something from my childhood - delicious and comforting.My Thai Ice Tea was excellent too.I hope more people frequent Ají Ramen. They took over Umi Ramen.

I decided to stop for dinner take out on the way from work and picking my daughter up from school. Wow! This location is a hidden treasure. The ambiance was peaceful and I enjoyed its interior decor. First time here and upon arrival I was greeted and offered a menu of which the food selection looked great. The service was quick pleasant and efficient in putting in my order. I was offered a seat at any table and given water while I waited. Going with the Aji Ramen and the Garlic Chicken plate I was not disappointed! Usually I'm not a takeout person because it sometimes has smaller portions changes the way the food is cooked and can sometimes be overcooked or messy but without asking my chicken was separate along with all of my garnishes and vegetables and both dishes had big portions that looked and smelled amazing. Upon eating the dishes it was exactly as pictured and everything tasted fresh as my family and I were ready to eat! I will make sure to keep this in mind as the new dinner ordering spot on the way home!

The customers were very nice, yes I said customers. Stuff was excellent too. Food came out quickly, and was tasty. Think they went a little heavy on the mayo for the Takoyaki.

Lunch in Waipahu, Oahu, Hawaii...I saw a review by my friend, Deborah, of this Hot New Business calledAji Ramenand I had to visit...Located at Waipahu Town Center, Aji Ramen took the place of Umi Ramen. It's right next to Potato Corner, which is between Seafood City and Goodwill. There's lots of free, shared parking... even though Starbucks is in one corner of the property, and Longs is at the other end.When I stepped inside, the air-conditioning was very much appreciated. I truly enjoyed the iced water - it had fresh lemon flavor in it! I also noticed the cute decor... the banner across the wall was kawaii! The peppy music included familiar songs from BTS!I ordered the Combo A set. It had Ramen, gyoza, and a side. I chose Chicken Katsu Curry for my side. It was too much food because they gave me 4 extra delicious gyoza for Happy Hour (2pm to 5pm). The nice manager brought me takeout containers and a package, and helped me pack my food! The server was also very cheerful and greeted me right away!I wish this new business much success! They're really efficient and generous!

Very friendly people who took over the short-lived Umi Ramen! My wife and I were surprised to see that Umi Ramen was no longer in this spot. We walked up for dinner on Friday night, and were a little taken back as we walked into a restaurant that was unfamiliar lol! We honestly thought they had just renovated, but after I looked at the menu, I noticed the "Aji Ramen" name. We were very close to eating elsewhere since our minds were set on a specific meal, but the people were so happy & eager to serve us, we figured we'd give them a try... And we're so glad we did! The variety of food is pretty much the same as what you'd find at your typical ramen shop. The prices are very reasonable, like Umi Ramen was. Portions are great and I love that they serve the ramen piping hot! Flavor of the broth was delicious, especially for my Black Garlic Ramen. Tastes exactly like Tanaka Ramen and Umi Ramen - no kidding! Why their broths are all identical? I'll never know... but I sure do enjoy it.Plenty parking in the Seafood City lot.. public restrooms inside Seafood City. Cash, credit, no additional fees or surcharge. All in all, this is a solid spot to try out! Hope you enjoy it :)

Late post. Humm, I had thought that I had posted. Well, Aji is located near Seafood City in Waipahu. It took the place of another ramen shop. I asked our server if she was the owner, and she said that she was part owner. I ordered the Aji ramen. Wow, it was big. While she was bringing it to the table, I saw the large size bowl. What I didn't expect was that it was filled with goodies. The broth was a little disappointed appointing. Overall, it was worth the price.Brought the the left overs home and had it for lunch the next day. I still couldn't finish it. Very pleasant owner and fast service. Enjoy

11/23/24 @1650The restaurant was pretty empty during our entire meal. I thinkwe beat the dinner rush. We were seated right away and the staff was really friendly and attentive. We got the Miso Udon, Aji Ramen, Garlic Chicken wings and pan fried gyoza.The food came out really fast and the portions are huge. Everything was tasty and delicious.You definitely get your moneys worth.
