We were in Oahu our first night and looking for a quick bite to eat. We stumbled across Ramen Ya in a shopping center and took a chance, wanting to try new places.The dining room is fairly small, with maybe 10 tables. We got seated immediately and there is table service from a serving crew. The menu is large, with many different choices of ramen and other items. We weren't in the mood for ramen so we went with chicken fried rice, tonkatsu chicken, tonkatsu spam (yes, really), and some pan fried gyoza.Everything we tried we enjoyed very much. The tonkatsu was quite crispy and well cooked, though I personally didn't care for the spam cooked this way. The gyoza were fresh and hot, and the fried rice was really outstanding. Great flavor and a large portion size for the price.All in all, we very much enjoyed our meal and went there one additional time before we left. The prices were reasonable by Hawaii standards and we felt we got good value for our money.

So i just heard from my family how bad the service was tonight. So we are the customers and someone in the party order chicken katsu curry and the ask the water/waitress for katsu sauce and they tell you why u have curry and then they don't bring u any sauce at all. They also didn't refill water when asked. My grandson couldn't eat his Katsu bc he had no sauce. So tell me exactly what was your guys problem for not providing what the customers wanted. So we will not be going back to this restaurant bc service is bad.

Came here after a Costco shopping trip since hubz was craving Chicken Katsu Curry. Ramen-Ya is located right across at Kapolei Commons... we come here often (a fam fav offering variety). We were seated and ordered... I chose the Won Ton Soup set. As we waited for our food, my husband noticed a lady on the other table eating her ramen with lots of vinegar. She kept adding vinegar to each bite. Interesting. My Won Ton Soup arrived and thought I'd try the vinegar... jus add a little vinegar to my spoon of won ton. OMG... it reminded me of eating Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). It took my bowl of won ton to a whole new level and flavor. That was a new taste... it was fantastic! I'll definitely be utilizing that vinegar condiment again. Lesson learned: It's always a good idea to watch other patrons at a restaurant - to observe what's good to eat and how to enjoy it.

More like Ramen Yeeeeah!!! Before being on island San Diego was just starting to get some solid Ramen. I had my fav joints and was very interested in checking out what Hawaii had to offer. As the Japanese Curry that we've had so far has been top notch. The Ramen Ya in Kapolei has some bonus points. As it's located near the Target and next to Down to Earth. There is also an EV charger out front. So there aren't any excuses not to go. As for the ambiance, this would be the only downside. It was a little cramped - not a lot of space between tables. But honestly once the food gets there you quickly forget. My family is notorious for being a bit picky at times. My boys all got the Chicken Katsu Curry while my wife dabbled with the Gyoza Curry. I however went for the Black Garlic Ramen with extra noodles and made sure to make it spicy. End result everyone enjoyed their meal - and a miracle happened it was a clean plate club all around. Even the toddler ate his food and was so happy and content. My wife even mentioned making Ramen Ya a weekly stop as the price was just right especially for the quality. The servers were all quite friendly even when super busy. There wasn't an empty table the entire time we were there. Overall fantastic experience look forward to coming back.

Left this review when I got take out from this place: just wanted to share it here as well. I ordered a chicken katsu curry. See, in the picture they put on their menu online, it looks as if you get enough curry to dip your katsu in. This is what I received: a plate FULL of rice, with a bit of curry on top that for the rice to absorb it all up (thanks!) and not enough to dip or enjoy with my katsu, and then all the katsu on top. The amount of chicken is good but what the heck on the amount of curry given? I recommend ordering the curry on the side for some quality control.

Ramen-Ya serves ramen and other noodle dishes. The service is good, servers were friendly and helpful when asked about items on the menu. The ambiance is of Ramen-Ya is basic and simple, nothing fancy which is fine. Your order is prepared and served quickly.Curry Ramen - 4/5The curry ramen was very good. The curry ramen tasted good. The curry was not spicy. The ramen noodles are good and not rubbery hard and not soft or mushy. The pork belly was tender, not hard or dry. I wish a soft boiled egg be included.Cold Noodles - 4/5I ordered the egg noodle or somen. They other cold noodle choice is soba noodles. The dipping sauce was good, and when you mixed all the condiments (sliced fish cake, sliced pork, bamboo shoots and bean sprouts) together, the dish is very refreshing. Ramen-Ya is a decent place for a witch meal.

We were intrigued by the name and came in for dinner. The combo sets were an incredible deal and had bigger than expected portions. The interior was pretty standard and the service was just okay. The miso broth was somewhat bland. This is a great place for someone indecisive with their order.
