    We had lunch over there it was good wasn't to busy at that time service was good food was great It's a nice place to go and have lunch with the family

    I love Daiichi, it's one of my favorite places to eat on island. I thought all Daiichi's would have consistent flavors but this spot was totally different. The broth for my usual Tan Tan Ramen was super oily. The broth tasted way more fatty and didn't have enough umami. The fried rice was super disappointing as it was super dry and didn't have the usual umami flavor. I was so disappointed but now I know to stick with my Pearl City location always.

    Good food, good portions & quick service. I love coming here for dinner or even take out, lots of seating and food comes out quick. I'll always have leftovers to take home too. I like the fried rice plates, or the curry and rice with chicken cats, super yum. Very casual sit down and the staff if nice.

    This place has the best noodle texture I've ever had!! I'm not even kidding, even my husband was pleasantly surprised. We decided the eat here on a whim, because they offered both ramen and curry. The curry was yummy too, very flavorful, but the star was definitely the ramen noodles. My mother in law had the shrimp salad, she said it was okay. Definitely try it out if you're in the area

    Need some soup today Glad Daiichi reopened in Kapolei and the parking is so much better next to the old Kapolei movie theater. During the winters, I love getting the ramen combo with tonkatsu ramen, shrimp fried rice, fish katsu and an order of gyoza. My last visit here, I got there before 5pm on Saturday and I was able to get the happy hour free gyoza. It came with four pieces and I got them fried this time. Every time I've come, no matter what day of the week, service here is consistent; it's fast, the food is great and the staff members always kind and helpful. And so this place is a family favorite of ours. Some local places, even when they're newly opened, is just blah. Love the classic woodsy and current decor. Plenty of light coming in and so in the afternoons, the blinds have to be drawn. Always a satisfying and over-indulged experience at Daiichi. We will see you soon.

    We were sat as soon as we walked in. Not crowded and I appreciated the quick seating. The food we ordered came out very quickly. There was a mix up with my Chicken Katsu w Curry Plate, but the server only heard the Chicken Katsu part. The mix up was easily fixed. The food was not great. It came out hot, but that was the best thing bout the food. The gyoza was bland and soggy. Noodles were slimy and the shrimp and chicken Katsu was hard not crunchy. Pork fried rice was the only good thing.

    Free gyoza for happy hour

    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner yesterday. They are pretty good with the food you try here. They're pretty consistent on the taste of food. I always go to the Pearl City location and they're good too. Service here was good and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The bowl.of udon noodles was filling and delicious. Soup tasted great. They give out free gyoza during happy hour which is after 2:30 pm. A major plus. We also ordered calamari which I forgot to picture here. Plenty of parking up front. Highly recommend.

    When I am in the mood for ramen, this is my go to place. There's others in the neighborhood, but for some reason, I like this place. The service is awesome, and the environment is nice. Always good food and lots of parking.

    Tan Tan Ramen

    Was in the area and craved ramen for dinner. I used to be a regular at the Pearl City location when I spent most my time there but this location was just as good. My go-to is the tan tan ramen. So delicious and seasoned well! I love the egg, meat and fish cake that come with it. Service is good, when walking in you're greeted and asked to sit wherever you like which is nice. The chicken katsu curry is also so good. Would come back again.

    Friendly and fast service. I wasn't sure on time I had to eat my meal. Food came out quickly. Nice and hot on a some what rainy evening.

    Outside- Grand Opening!

    Happy they opened a new Daiichi Ramen in Kapolei especially since the Ewa location closed a couple years ago. I'm no stranger to Daiichi so I'm very familiar with this restaurant. Daiichi Ramen tastes way better than their competition. It's located next to the Kapolei Consolidated Theaters right next to Broke Da Mouth Grindz which was closed tonight due to "extreme staffing shortages" so I discovered this new Daiichi Ramen location. Ordered the Gomuku Ramen today but my usual is Tan Tan Ramen. Tasted good as expected and the service was excellent. My server checked on me twice during my meal. They have 6 different condiments on the table along with a container of chopsticks. The prices are very reasonable and they have free gyoza between 2:30 - 5:00pm. They also have a grand opening special of 15% off your bill until 10/15/2023. Will definitely be back when I want to eat ramen.

    Typical Ramen shop, service was good and food was good also. Glad they opened a new location in Kapolei.

    Takoyaki

    This is by the Kapolei theaters, the older one. We came on a Saturday after noon a little after lunch around 230pm and it was empty...just how I like it lol the workers were nice to greet us and the place was really clean. The place was pretty spacious I must say. Our server took out orders and always filled our waters. You cannot beat ordering the combo meal. I got the mini ramen with black garlic which was additional. My sides were takoyaki and mini curry. I must say, the mini curry wasn't mini it was pretty regular size looking lol I couldn't finish most of it so we took it home and had it for dinner. Everything tasted great! I did however take down a star because we ordered gyoza but the server did not mention anything about getting free gyoza during their happy hour until we paid and got in our car and seen the window display. Our fault also we should've looked prior.

    This place was highly recommended to us by my family. We dined here for a late lunch. This was…read moregoing to be one of our last meals on the island before heading back to the mainland. Not too far from the resort that we were staying at. This was located in a mini shopping mall. We were the only ones dining in there at the time. Service was okay, we did take some time to decide. Our waitress kept coming at us; like are you ready yet?! As if we had been there before. But again, this was our first time. Anyhow, I didn't see the lunch combo on the menu. It was something that was taped to the wall at our table. It included an appetizer with the ramen for a reasonable price. We opted for that choice instead. We both had the Tanaka Rich Garlic Ramen (which was very flavorful), one of the appetizers we had was Karaage Chicken (crispy and delicious with the dipping sauce) and the other was Pork Gyoza. Everything was good and filled us up quickly. We will have to try it again another day when we are back on the island.

    Tanaka ramen was so good!! We ordered a spicy miso ramen, the garlic miso ramen and a chicken ramen…read more(for the kids). We also had gyoza and the karage don. I have to say the garlic oil miso ramen and the karage don were the stars! The flavor was amazing and the ramen noodles were perfectly chewy and toothful. The karage was crispy and very crunchy! Not very greasy at all! The location is a strip mall and by 8pm someone was playing music at top volume from a car - but the ramen spot was still packed. Would totally come again while staying in Kapolei!!

They had a coloring book with crayons, a three course prefixed meal for kids. It came with a yummy appetizer, you could choose the entree and it came with an ice cream sandwich dessert.

Our server, Edison, was absolutely outstanding. He welcomed us with such genuine warmth, always had a smile on his face, and was incredibly attentive throughout the entire meal. He checked on us at just the right times and made sure we had everything we needed without us having to ask. The rest of the staff were also very friendly and courteous. The misoyaki butterfish and island fish were delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, but what really stood out was the green color sauce, it was incredibly flavorful and honestly one of the best we've had. We also really appreciated the keiki meal. Instead of serving typical junk food, they offered a thoughtfully prepared meal, which was a huge plus for us as parents. Our child had such a wonderful birthday dinner, and the attentive service made the celebration feel extra special. The only small issue was that we noticed some tiny bugs in our glasses of water. They were too tiny to see if you weren't looking closely. Overall, the exceptional service, especially from Edison and the delicious food far outweighed this minor issue. We'd happily come back again.
