So today I went to pick up my medicine at Longs Waipahu every time I go there I always look at Aji ramen so we went over there. And you know what Was hell of good . Wasn't busy food was delicious and the service was excellent. This is one of the places I will go back to. Don't have restroom but if you got to go seafood city right next door Check it out if you didn't already

At the end of the meal...a perfect icy treat!!!!

This is our 3rd time here and it has gotten so much tastier and a lot more selections. Always so friendly and super nice! Nice, cool and cozy. Had the mini combo ramen with additional cost but not broke the bank, changed the sauce to the black garlic ton ton, came with 4 pcs fluffy homemade crispy juicy gyoza and selection was the savory soft beef stew and rice. Wow! All of that for a great price! Also, mapo tofu ramen that was huge and popcorn chicken on the side. We're enjoying and had to pause as it was still a lot more to eat and we were already getting full. Mahalo Aji Ramen! Be back and bring our Ohana too! To our surprise a hefty size of shave ice bubble pearls fruity treat! Thank you!!!!

Aji Ramen 2.0 New ownership, but still excellent service! We were sad to miss the previous owners before their last day. They mentioned to us that they were transferring ownership, but on their last week of service, the business was shut down - I'm assuming - due to the crazy weather and loss of electricity. We loved that family. They were so generous and welcoming! I hope they are prosperous and happy throughout their next adventure! :) Thankfully, this new crew who took over hold the same spirit! We've been in 4 times since, and the staff has been consistently friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. Everything moves quickly & smoothly, so we remain impressed with Aji Ramen. The service is fast & efficient from start to finish without feeling rushed, even during peak hours. Major plus! The restaurant itself is still clean, well-kept, and nicely organized in the front of the house, which makes the whole experience even more comfortable. The food comes out fresh, hot, and really delicious - definitely comforting food at a great price point. What more could you ask for? :) One small tip: bring a jacket! It's pretty chilly inside. This is perfect if you're enjoying a hot bowl of noodles, but for those who aren't or who run cold, you might be shivering. Haha Oh and their free dessert is so addicting! On all 4 visits, the end of our meal came with a large bowl delivered to the table. It's like shave ice with condensed milk, brown sugar boba, with 2 mini boba jelly (sorry I'm not a boba connoisseur lol!) - strawberry and passion fruit flavor I think. Anyways, it's delicious! Go check them out!!

Aji Special Ramen
Denise L.

The service was wonderful. The two ladies who helped us were so kind and sweet. We brought the kiddos and they were so attentive and accommodating to them. The food was not bad, but not anything crazy special. I would say it was a pretty typical ramen place. The ambiance is nice and simple. They used the same layout from the previous ramen place. 3 stars for the mediocre food but 5 stars for the very awesome service.

Shaved Ice
Trung L.

Small quaint place, but what they lack in size, they make up with good food and great service. I came in and got the chicken katsu curry and Aji special ramen. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the curry over rice hit the spot. The broth of the ramen flavorful, the aji ramen does come spicy though, I believe you can ask them to not make it spicy. Noodle was prepared as you order and not clump up. At the end they gave us complimentary shaved ice for dessert, this was also good. Will come back again to try something else next time.

My wife and I were craving some ramen and my wife had heard about Aji Ramen. If I am correct, it recently replaced another ramen shop that was here previously or maybe it was a simple re-branding. Nonetheless, Waipahu Shopping Center is as "local" as it gets. We stopped by here during the middle of the week. There was only other couple eating dinner while we were there. The interior is a friendly, simple interior. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. For food, I opted for the Black Garlic Tonkotsu which was very delicious. It came all the toppings and more. I also really appreciated, not one, but two ajitama eggs We ordered two ramens and it was sufficient enough for us and to share with two children.

Food was delicious! Prices are reasonable, especially the combo for under $20.00. I'd recommend this place to family and friends! Located next to Seafood City. Service is great! Servers are attentive and friendly! Come stop by this place, and bonus free dessert!

Mini ramen with milk tea, mini curry with honeydew smoothie
Claire P.

One of my new favorite spots on the island. Went there on saturday during lunch time. Ordered a mini ramen and a milk tea and my friend ordered their mini curry rice and a smoothie, first off the portions were HUGE. If that's the portion for a mini Im curious about what a regular portion is. I was so full, and the food was sooo delicious. The SERVICE! It was amazing! Such a warm vibe and atmosphere, and the server, he was so nice and polite, kept checking up on us and was very receptive! The prices are surprisingly not too expensive, just everything about this restaurant was the highest quality.

Combo Set A: ramen, chicken katsu curry, fried Goyza, fried Shrimp Roll, salted egg chicken wings with fried rice
Gladys B.

Service was amazing, got seated right away, everything didn't take that long, they refilled our waters often, checked if we needed anything, had an overall positive experience! Food was good, especially the salted egg chicken wings! The fried shrimp roll was alright, wasn't a fan of the sauce tho. I would definitely come back!

Tan Tan Ramen

Great place! We came here for a meal with the family, and the atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for a group. The highlight of the night was definitely the Tan Tan Ramen. The broth was rich and had just the right amount of spice to give it a kick without being overwhelming. To top off an already great experience, they surprised us with free dessert at the end of our meal! It's rare to find a spot that combines such flavorful food with that kind of thoughtful hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Awesome visit to Aji once more. Noodles on point and the service was outstanding. I will continue coming here for my Ramen fix.

Mini Fried Rice
Kristin S.

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.

Ribs & Broth continues to deliver on flavor! Everything we've tried has been so delicious, fresh,…read moreand packed with flavor. The service is always awesome, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming - so honestly, that pretty much sums up why we keep coming back! Our go-to favorites are the Lemongrass Banh Mi and pretty much any of their pho - you really can't go wrong because they're all so yummy! I really like their noodles, it's thicker than other phos and the broth is clean and flavorful. Every visit has left us full & satisfied. Thanks Ribs & Broth! :)

We have been searching for a good bowl of pho nearby without having to drive to our favorite spot,…read moreHale Vietnam in Kaimuki, and had been itching to try this spot for awhile based on the recommendations of others. This location is just outside of Waipahu Town Center, a convenient drive for us from Pearl City. We arrived around 5:45pm on a Friday. The place is not very large and was packed. We waited just a short time for a table. As a note, the place cleared out by 6:30, so we might try to come a little later next time. We ordered spring rolls to share, and my gf ordered the Beef Back ribs Pho. I ordered the Short Ribs Pho. The spring rolls were ok, but I think we'll skip that the next time. We were overstuffed after eating that and downing the real star of the show here which was the pho. The meat was tender and flavorful and the broth was so good! It has a meaty flavor I have not experienced elsewhere. My gf knew going in when she ordered the Beef Back ribs that it was going to be more than she could eat and she truly struggled, it was a lot of meat even with my help. She thoroughly enjoyed every bite though. Service here was attentive and quick. Our food came out really fast, and the kind servers made sure to keep our water topped off and check in on us often. We were really glad to have tried this place and will be coming again. Is it enough to topple our favorite, Hale Vietnam? It's just such a different experience that I don't think comparison is possible. But I think over time this place will rank up there amongst our favorite places to go.

I was thrilled to see that Daiichi Ramen has opened locations all around Oahu! Back in the mid-90s…read moreto early 2000s, I used to frequent the original Aiea location at least twice a month. That spot has since closed (now home to Shaka Ramen), so when I learned about the new locations, I knew exactly where I was having dinner on my last night on the island. The two waitresses at the Pearl City location were incredibly sweet and efficient. They took our orders quickly and constantly scanned the dining room to make sure every guest had what they needed; drink refills and anything else. The interior was well lit and adorned with Japanese style kitchen curtains and posters of their most-popular ramen. The light wood on the walls and comfortable seating offered a great place to enjoy their amazing food! I ordered the spicy, flavor-packed Tan Tan Ramen along with their signature fried rice. I couldn't resist the gyoza and was hungry enough to go for six pieces instead of the usual four that come with the combo. What sets the Tan Tan ramen apart is its signature broth: a rich, creamy, and spicy blend made with sesame paste and chili oil. It has a wonderful nutty depth that perfectly coats the thick noodles and pairs beautifully with the toppings. The ramen is highly customizable, so I added extra chashu pork and Ajitama, a soft-boiled egg. The thick, spicy, and savory broth delivered an outstanding flavor profile. If you like spicy ramen, I highly recommend the Tan Tan or try the Spicy Tonkotsu...! The restaurant was easy to find in the Pearl City Shops. While it's not huge, Daiichi Ramen now has multiple locations across Hawaiʻi (Pearl City, Kahala, Kailua, plus Kailua-Kona and Hilo on the Big Island), so you're almost guaranteed to find a seat. Enjoy!

Totally LOVED THIS PLACE! If I ever want to eat Japanese style or Korean Style (which is mostly all…read morethe time) imma come here FOR SURE! They served delicious food and the birthday meal was worth it! You can choose from the TEISHOKU section of a 1, 2 or 3 choice and receive a birthday discount! That's their free meal. BUT... it's MUST BE ON THE DAY OF YOUR BIRTHDAY! They will ask for ID so be sure to come here for that $24 discount on your meal. And BRING SOMEONE to eat with because it has to have purchase to receive the discount! It's a great COUPLES outing or date night! They close @ 9pm but open at 11am so you have some time to make it. They do reservations ONLINE ONLY and hold the spot for you with a credit card. You can have more than 6+ but it will cost you to hold and DONT cancel because you may get charged for cancellation fee. But as I said... THEY ARE SO WORTH COMING HERE! The workers were so friendly and nice and kind! James and Keala both were considerate and our food came pretty quick too! OH! And their MOCHI ICE CREAM is ONO! Tastes like the mold school FOREMOST NEAPOLITAN ICE CREAM. The half gallon that came in the 1980's green box. Remember those??! So yeah... they are a BIT PRICEY for the meals but very worth it! Especially if you love watching those Korean dramas and get hungry for food during their meal scenes. Now I'll be thinking of KUNI's. lol Ok thanks for reading and ENJOY! James. Keala. Kaya

Kuni Restaurant used to be very good when Mr. Sato was the manager, but he might have retired…read more The service has declined. One of the new employees is very rude. We'll find somewhere else to go.
