Ramen-Ya

Tabemashou. Let's eat. This place is a quick stop for a good ramen. Not the best ramen in town but it's pretty good to warm your tummy and still bring a smile to your face. We got Tan Tan ramen, shoyu ramen and gyozas. The combination of ramen with gyoza is delightful. I know many of you would agree ;)We didn't order this time but their oyster fry is so delicious too! A must have but because we had our sweets before our meal, we were pretty stuffed by this time. lol If you have time and in the area, come visit the Ramen-Ya in Hawaii Kai. The lady who takes our order is always so nice. I'll definitely find out her name on our next visit. ;)

Hey if Chinese food disguised as ramen is your thing, then stop on by to Ramen-ya. Maybe it's just me, but I never thought it was great here. A good value, yes. But don't expect anything authentic or overly tasty. It's fast food, and boy is it fast. When I stopped in for lunch, there was no wait, which is always great. There's a good amount of seating here and the dining area seems clean. The service was very friendly and attentive. Water came and was refilled quickly. The servers weren't pushy, but got our order quickly and correctly. I ordered the set B with fried rice. It comes with pan fried gyoza and a mini won ton soup. The gyoza wrapper was a little bit thick/chewy. Filling just ok. Won ton soup had 2 pieces of lean chashu and about 5 wontons each with about a teaspoon of filling. Fried rice was ok, but not my favorite. Bottom line, I'd really like to like Ramen-Ya. It's close and reasonable, but I just don't.

It was raining and decided to do a quick lunch before a Costco run. I've never been to a Ramen-Ya before and was curious to try it out. Ordered the black garlic ramen and combo set A (4 piece gyoza, pork fried rice and mini ramen). When reviewers say the food was mediocre - understatement. I couldn't identify what flavors were in the ramen broth for the black garlic and the mini. All I could say was that the broth had salt. No black garlic flavor. The toppings were not memorable. Pork fried rice was completely unremarkable and could have been reheated frozen fried rice in terms of taste and value. Gyoza also unremarkable. I dont think price points justify the food either. I probably wouldn't go back. Service was good but the place was pretty empty.

Most of the east side has been without power for over 4 and a half hours. The latest HECO estimate has power not coming on for another two hours (which probably means 6). Bro decided to take a chance and drive to see if anyone was open. Thank goodness for Ramen-Ya! We don't go very often, but based on our experience today, we will definitely be back more often!Y'all, these folks stayed open until it was too dark for them to keep cooking...long after everyone else had closed. Not only were they open, they were super thankful people braved the crap weather to come out. Bro witnessed a real act of kindness from the staff when an older gentleman who is a regular came in, unaware that they were operating cash only. They recognized him and told him he could come back tomorrow and pay them. Our food was perfect. Yeah, we could have scraped up a meal, but we were very happy to throw some business to some really kind, hard-working folks who actually care.

We love this place and free gyoza for happy hour with your meal is amazing. Yes, not the supreme ramen of all time, but for the price and options everyone in the family enjoys themselves. Parking is easy and for $15 you can get a combo with ramen, gyoza, and a rice dish. We chose chicken katsu curry and yum yum yum. Staff were super kind and kept bring refills for the drinks. The portions are large and everyone had extras for the next day. Plus, perfect for kids as simple inside and they have kid menu.

The food was decent, my black garlic ramen was not as garlicky as I was hoping for. My other daughter had the kids ramen & she was satisfied with it. Kids chicken katsu curry was a good portion.

Great value for your money. Great and attentive service. Family-friendly. Generous servings. I had the Kim Chee Ramen. Super serving of kim chee on top of ramen with chopped chicken in the broth as well. Husband had the Combo A. Ramen with six large gyoza and choice of a long list of sides. He always picks the mochiko chicken. He swears it's the best mochiko chicken he's had on Oahu! The combo is so much food you can share or take home the extras. Ramen-Ya does a bang up take out business as well. They pack everything so well too! Love it here. They have a special from 2 to 5 where you can get an order of gyoza free!

Quickly seated and our order was placed. I went for the big bowl, and my partner had the one ton mein.Broth tasted a little watery, could be I'm more used to the broth at Daiichi. Their broth had more body to it. Char Sui wasn't as sweet as I'm accustomed to. Maybe it's Japanese styled, not Chinese. As usual, I got to have my water. They kept me filled. Absolutely no problems there. Won ton is good. Besides the weak broth, it was steaming hot. Excellent on a cold windy day. Was really glad for that. It warmed both our bellies.

I usually eat at the Ramen-Ya in Pearl City and I absolutely love it! I decided to eat here since it's in the same shopping complex as Costco. I figured if I like the Pearl City one, I'll like this one but I was wrong. The food was lacking flavor. The gyozas tasted as if they were out and old. The curry was very subpar and the rice was mushy. I'm giving it a star for the kind and quick service. If I eat Ramen-Ya, I'll make sure to go to the Pearl City one.

Very tasty fried rice! Great service and very friendly! Would come back in the future!
