    Lunch time
    Lu Lu S.

    Decent ramen in a local mall food court. It was tasty, reasonably priced and quick so no complaints here. It's your average run in the mill ramen, nothing that really stood out. Good for quick food court food- more like 3.5 stars . Plenty of tables and seats in a covered pavilion to enjoy our meal. They did have a combo option that came with a mini ramen bowl and some appetizers such as gyoza, mochiko chicken, tempura, etc... the mini ramen wasn't too mini, it was a sufficient size for me and they gave me a lot of noodles so I shared the noodles with the hubs.

    Tonkotsu ramen
    Jasmine N.

    Located in the food court area of an outdoor shopping plaza. They have seating available inside or in the shared outdoor food court space. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen per recommendation of the staff. The ramen comes with ramen noodles, two slices of charsiu, two pieces of seaweed, a naruto fish cake, one marinated egg, bamboo shoots, and green onion. For what it is and where you're getting it, it's not bad. If you have a ramen craving, it might hit the spot. The charsiu pieces were pretty thick and tender and good flavor. The broth isn't super rich and deep so I'd recommend adding some chili oil.

    No coke zero, bought diet coke, no ice. Tonkotsu ramen is alright. Hope they will provide ice next time and coke zero is available too.

    Small hole in the wall. There is a small place to order and plenty of seating inside, but mostly outside in a covered food court. The seating is ample and nice. Food was ok. We had a few different food item, including ramen, and everything was just ok and not very memorable. I wanted ramen, but I wish I would have chosen a better place (we were hungry).

    Black garlic oil udon

    Aloha ramen right away smells delicious. Good variety of food. I ordered the black garlic oil udon. Udon was good. However the pork in the udon seemed a little burnt or just too over cooked. Bamboo flavor was a little too heavy for me. Next time I would just order without the bamboo and maybe substitute the pork with beef. Overall the soup base and noodles were good.

    We landed and it took 2 hours to get our car rental. We are hungry, most likely hangry. I'm at the state where any food would taste good because I'm so hungry. Aloha Ramen. Sounds authentic enough, right? Well, the owner was speaking Chinese so it's not a Japanese ramen place. Yet, why did I order Tonkatsu ramen when I know it's not authentic? I was pleasantly surprised. It was better than what I expected. The ramen was a bit on the salty side, but the pork meat was solid. I was hungry and the ramen filled me up. I would come back here in the future, even if I'm hungry.

    It's a tiny little place in a strip type mall near Target. They have a couple tables in the back or a large outdoor food court seating area. Both dishes were fresh and came out quickly. Defiantly a good stop when heading to Lihue from Poipu.

    Croquettes
    Cindy C.

    Located in the food court in the mall. We were starving and didn't want to spend time searching for quality food so we ended up here. The service was fast and friendly. Food was as expected for fast food. The croquettes came out really hot and was delicious. The oxtail ramen left something to be desired however. The curry had lot of flavor but not much meat and vegetables; it was mostly sauce. The Katsudon was really bland so the curry sauce came in handy. It's quick meal, but I'd pass next time.

    For a small restaurant in the shopping mall, this was pretty good. The broth for the tonkatsu, i would say is creamy but can be creamier. The tan tan noodles, the broth was not rich, wish it were though. It had a kIck to it, both pieces of meat in both were on the tough side. I love the bamboo. The croquette was fluffyyand crispy on the inside.

    two bowls of ramen noodles

    My order was wrong. I ordered shrimp and got some unidentifiable chewy, grisly meat instead. Zero broth and zero flavor ramen. I threw it in the trash and started over on dinner because it was so very bad.

    Oxtail ramen is a winner. We also tried their Katsu curry, mini ramen, and fries. Everything was Ono!! This place is a hole in the wall, a little pricey but so worth it.

    It's a food court! Don't expect to eat indoors and don't expect the staff to be polite. Food was hot so I guess that was good.

    Food was really good but salty. It isn't much of a sit down place because you sit just outside of the to go restaurant in a food court.

    Surprisingly good. The Veggie ramen has great broth, a good amount of veggies, and they had all the add-ons I prefer. A solid bowl of ramen.

    Wailua Drive In is a popular Hawaiian restaurant in Kapa'a, Hawaii, known for its fresh, local…read morecomfort food like plate lunches, burgers, and katsu. Popular menu items include ahi katsu 10/10, chili pepper chicken 9/10, and Hawaii's own- loco moco (not a huge fan in general). They offer a variety of other options, including poke, ramen, and sandwiches, with convenient takeout and delivery available. It's definitely a local favorite due to its generous portions, authentic Hawaiian cuisine and friendly service. We ordered the fried chicken and poke combo with wonton chips and the ahi katsu (my absolute fav). The ahi was fried to perfection- crispy on the outside while rare and tender on the inside. The sauce on the katsu was absolutely fire!!! So good! Macaroni salad was creamy and delicious. And the rice was perfect. Obviously, you cannot visit Hawaii without having some of their poke- always fresh and delightfully tasty. The marinade was savory and packed with flavor.

    First time to Kaua'i and I'm looking for some local eats. From the reviews I've read, this seems to…read morebe a popular place. GETTING THERE: It was extremely easy to find. Its right off a main road and you cannot miss it. Parking lot was a bit small, but there was plenty of parking. AMBIANCE: When I went there was plenty of seating. A bit dead, but I also did go pretty early. There were a bunch of decor of older American pop culture like Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. But also Hawaiian themed decor (obviously). SERVICE: You gotta walk up to the front to order. I was approached almost immediately as soon as I walked up to the menu on the screen. The girl working was super friendly and welcoming. I made my order and she gave me a pager for when my food was ready. FOOD: I ordered the chili pepper chicken, which was recommended from the girl at the counter. My friend ordered the ahi katsu. The chili pepper chicken was good! It was crispy and extremely flavorful. It was slightly too salty for my taste, but luckily the rice does help balance it out. Some of the crispness was sacrificed for the sauce, but it was overall still pretty crispy. I loved that they used boneless chicken thigh. I was expecting bones or lots of breading but it actually had a perfect ratio. I wasn't much a fan of the mac salad. It was like a mix of mac and potato salad, but more like a potato salad. I'm not big on potato salad, so that makes sense. My friend's ahi katsu was alright in my opinion. The sauce that's on it was good and enjoyed all the flavors. The tuna was just a bit overcooked to my liking, but idk how else one would make a katsu without overlooking it too much. Maybe bread the fish and freeze it before frying? Idk man, I'm not a chef lol but the tuna would definitely be better if it was less cooked. OVERALL: Honestly, I would still come here again. I still enjoyed the meal and the service was pretty quick. Both items were both worth trying. All the flavors were there and the little things I didn't like were just personal preferences. Its a great place to pick up a lunch plate and enjoy it at the beach.
