Ramen-Ya

Honestly, I would give this place 3 stars but the seafood gravy on rice is such a win I have to give it 4 stars. It has the perfect flavored gravy and a pretty hearty amount of seafood. This is not on the menu, you have to order the seafood ramen or crispy noodle but ask for it on rice. The rest of the food here is good for "fast food" ramen but I would say it's great. The portions are pretty generous if you are into that. The service here is always quick and the restaurant is a little cramped but it is a fast food ramen place so most of them are. Go check out that seafood rice tho.

So we stooped by Ramen yaIts very convenient and we got the following item Mini Katsu curry comboGarlic ramen Kids chicken Katsu curryGyoza happy hour

Look, this isn't fancy ramen by any stretch, but it has a few things going for it:- close to home- solid value- quick takeoutand perhaps most importantly,- my picky kid LOVES itWe almost always get takeaway and opt for the Combo A or B for $16. They've raised the prices a bit in recent years, but haven't changed the portion sizes - still plenty food. We almost always get the Combo A, which has a small ramen, 4 gyoza, and a choice from a limited menu (like fried rice, mochiko chicken, a couple katsu curries, beef stew). That side item can be a meal in itself. When my keiki was smaller, we could split one of those combos between the two of us - now he winds up downing all the ramen himself and half of another. The ramen comes with broth and a separate container for the noodles, kamaboko slice, green onions, and a slice of pork. Chicken katsu curry comes over white rice, and IIRC, the mochiko chicken comes with mac salad and white rice but I usually opt for the katsu so it's been a while.They're also fast for takeaway. There are a limited number of tables (5? four-tops) but I can call my order in from Mililani, get in the car, and it's ready when I get to Laniakea Plaza in about 10-12 minutes.Parking is tight. There are a good number of spaces, but they can fill up at meal times because there are several eateries that share the lot, plus the angles of the parking rows and entrance/exit can make it difficult to get into some spaces.

Decent parking in Waipio next to Starbucks and Costco. The food deserving 5 Stars as the Service and Ambiance. Perfect indoor AC temp makes this place "a must go".

Impromptu biz lunch after a meeting in the area. My lunch partner is vegetarian, so noodles seemed to be the best option we could both enjoy. We both enjoyed the ramen, I gave her my veggies, and she gave me her meat. The tan tan broth wasn't very flavorful, it was slightly disappointing. The service was decent, waters were topped off and there was a check in after our ramen came out. Near the end of the meal, I asked the server (who seemed to be a ESL speaker) if they have a restroom. She said "Restroom is by Fatboys". I thanked her and finished the meal. After the meal, I headed over to Fatboys to find the restroom. It's got a gate that is locked, so I head back to the restaurant and ask for the key. Both servers looked at me like "Key?" So I ask again, "Key for the restroom?" and the server who told me where the restroom is, nods and says, "yes, it needs a key". So of course, I'm a little annoyed when I have to ask, "Can I get the key for the restroom?" I'm sure my RBF was in overdrive. And then they understood what I was asking for and handed me 2 keys, one for the gate, the other for the restroom door. Guess I got some steps in.

Ordered the combo ramen katsu gyoza gotta say not like the Ramen ya in pearl city which is always on point. When I told the lady gyoza not only looked burnt it tasted burnt she said that's how supposed to taste lol I didn't eat it besides the nibble to taste and she took it away only to give it to another patron wtf!!!! Had three burnt and one regular smh. Needless to say I told the patron I wouldn't eat that and I explained why we both walked out, Never goin to that location again

We come here once in a while when we're craving ramen and since it's conveniently around our neighborhood. The place is cute and small but they try to turn customers around pretty quickly. There is also ample parking especially at night when some stores are closed. Food is consistently good so no complaints here. We'll definitely be back.

This place is located in the complex next to the Waipio Costco, convenient to go before doing your shopping. Since my husband and I weren't that hungry, we decided to share a Combo Set which comes with a Mini Ramen, 4-piece Gyoza and a main entree...we chose the Chicken Katsu Curry.The curry entree and gyoza was good, same as other places. The ramen was bland but the char siu was on the salty side. Never thought of it till now but if there's a next time, I'll add a little shoyu and pepper to the soup base.As for the workers, would've been awesome if they were friendly and smiled.

Service is excellent, just the food was tasteless. Seems like each ramen ra is either good or bad. Not sure what it is. The best one to me, would be the pearl highlands location. You would think they would have the same taste. Not the case....sorry

Avoid at all costs!! Nasty nasty nasty. The only thing I can say is they were kind enough to give a refund. Found termites in the curry. Nothing like taking a bite of food only to look down and find something dead staring back up at you. Then to dig through your food to find more!! I ate termite curry. So absolutely horrified.
