Ramen Nakamura

Food was fantastic. Quick service. Relatively small space, seating is around a u shaped counter. Not a place I'd recommend for a group. For two people, it was great, but for 4 or more the counter seating just wouldn't work.I had the tonkotsu ramen, delicious, added an egg and it was perfect. My friend had the oxtail ramen and he said it was delicious,looked great.Great little place.

My go-to ramen shop in Waikiki! Food: 4.5/5 My favorite is the Miso Ramen and Oxtail Ramen. The soup is so flavorful and addicting. I do wish they gave more meat though. Service: 5/5 The staff is quick and friendly! The food will come out within 5 minutes of ordering. Ambiance: 3/5 Small place with very little seating. Can get stuffy at times, especially while eating hot soup on a hot day. I recommend going right before it opens so you're at the first seating to avoid the place feeling too stuffy and the wait being long.

My friends and I went here for dinner and it was such a great experience! Food 5/5: We all got a ramen combo which includes ramen, the best fried rice I have ever had and some gyoza i believe! Service 5/5: The aunties are very accommodating !Ambiance 5/5: Seating here loops which I have never experienced before but it was nice and it was sectioned by a plexiglass Cannot wait to come back here!

If you live in Hawaii, and have driven through Waikiki at night, then you've probably seen the line for this place out the door. We have been meaning to go here, but of course, the wait is what stopped us (and parking). Finally we were driving through Waikiki and we saw no line. We thought maybe it's closed and if it is, at least there's more spots to eat in Waikiki, and if it's open, we finally get to try this place! Thank goodness!The business is small, but I was fooled at first with the large mirrors. The smaller the business, the more it seems like traditional ramen restaurants; the core of ramen is that it's a quick food and quick service to get as many guests in and out as fast as possible. It also seems like there's only a few employees - a mother and son duo serving and waiting tables and someone in the back as a chef. I never would have thought this was a small family owned business in Hawaii and now that I do know, I give it even more praise for operating for so long.Okay, to the ramen part. I forget what I got, I just know that it had a big knob of butter in it and corn; for some reason I felt like corn that day. I do know it's one of the ramens they're most known for! My husband got a combo so that he could get ramen and some rice, and we both ordered gyoza as well.Everything tasted great and up to par. I understand why this place always has such a long line. Part of the reason is because of the limited seating in the shop, but also it's just worth a stop. It's a small business in Waikiki that serves great ramen! Why wouldn't you want to stop by and support them?

Amazing food, excellent service!This small hole in the wall ramen restaurant is one of the best ramen you can get in Waikiki. It's very much Japanese style so it's all counter seating and the place is quite small. There were two small Japanese grandmas serving and they're super quick and efficient. The food was 9/10 and I definitely would come back again. They also have a restroom located in the back of the kitchen, which was super clean and tidy. Definitely recommend trying this place out :)

Sooooo good. The service is fast and friendly. The oxtail soup was delicious. Highly recommend coming here. It's a small hidden place, but easily walkable from the main shopping areas.

Great quick and easy ramen spot on the Waikiki strip! I had the Miso Butter Corn Ramen bowl w/extra char siu and Set A which also comes with Gyoza. Broth wasn't bad. I added their chili oil to give it a little spice since I don't have a high tolerance for spicy foods. Their gyoza is so fresh and probably the best gyoza I've ever had in my life to be completely honest. No complaints about the ramen. Service was fast easy and friendly! They were very family friendly but it is a Japanese ramen bar setting. No alcohol is on the menu. Overall nice quick and easy ramen spot to check out and open late!

Located down the street from the heart of Waikiki, this quaint restaurant has limited seats for its popularity. The staff are all very welcoming and quick to prepare the seating for each of the guest from the waiting list. They make the rounds to check on your needs. The menu offers a good variety of ramen dishes. Feel free to upgrade each order with their tasty rice and gyoza. The large bowl servings can be shared. I would gladly recommend this place if ramen peaks your interest!

Was an interesting experience. Partner said it reminded him of Midnight Diner. Lots of rules in place such as:-$18 minimum per person- If you use a gift card, an 18% gratuity is applied- No BYOB- No additional takeout orders after dine in- 40 minute dining limit- 18% gratuity applied on parties of 6 or more.Service was very friendly and I liked the dividers between parties, it felt very homely.My shio ramen was tasty, for $18 it came with one piece of chashu, bean sprouts, fried garlic, spring onions, bamboo, and the broth was rich and noodles were filling. Definitely filled the stomach. Not the best value for price but acceptable!The biggest downside for me was the music -- they played covers of 2000 hits that were not great and it kinda distracted me from the food, but otherwise a decent spot for dinner.

I had been wanting to come here for the longest time and finally made it. When we sat at the counter, they kind of forgot about us and didn't give us a menu or water for about five minutes while people came in after us got both, so I had to ask for that. I took one star off for this particular reason.However, the rest of the service was great and the Oxtail Ramen was amazingly good. The soup was tasty, presentation was wonderful, and oxtail was delicious. I'd love to try other menu items in the near future.
