This ramen was one of the best ramen I've ever had, the soup was great - not salty with amazing taste. However they only give one chashu slice which is a bit short. Interior is cool & trendy, they even play one piece on the wall! Staff is extremely friendly. I will definitely come back here again! read more

Gyoza Studio Kubota - White chicken paitan ramen - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been to Gyoza Studio Kubota a few times since it opened, and it's become one of my favorite ramen shops in Honolulu! Their chicken paitan ramen is hands down one of the best. I love a broth that isn't overly rich or heavy but is still packed with that deep chicken flavor. It's so easy to eat while being super satisfying. Honestly, it's the perfect ramen for a rainy day... or any day for that matter. And obviously, you HAVE to get the gyoza. It is Gyoza Studio after all! The gyoza was delicious, with perfectly thin wrappers and a great meat-to-skin ratio. The staff is super nice, and the whole restaurant has such a chill, laid-back atmosphere. One of the fun things I love is that they let you draw on the walls, so naturally we had to add a masterpiece of our own. Overall, one of my favorite spots in Honolulu. Great ramen, great gyoza, great vibes. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Super yummy late night spot! I love their ramen noodles the texture is amazing and the broth is so interesting! It's super creamy and kind of reminds me of Chinese flavors. It's very very rich. I'm also not a gyoza person but these were sooo crunchy and flavorful. White paitan is very eggy so kind of easy to get sick of the flavor but I like the red one more, it's more umami. I also got the calpico strawberry chuhi. Only thing is it's a very very tiny shop with kinda poor ventilation so it's a little stinky of fried oil read more

I was a little nervous when I saw 2 workers here in the restaurant. Is one the cook and one the server? It was the best small meal I've had for awhile. My mouth was dancing with excitement when I tasted the pesto gyoza. Delicious. And the potato salad with crispy bacon bits was the star of the show. We even ordered another one. Yups, that good. And the chicken kaarage ended the meal with an unforgettable yumminess. Perfect level of spice and saltiness and crispiness. And to top it off, the beer was ice cold. I can't wait to go back. read more

This place is really great but the stand out dish is the paitan ramen! I had the spicy version and the broth was so good! When I flew to Japan, I went to a Michelin star ramen place that had paitan ramen and although it was great, I really think this local place has a better bowl! I know, how can, but for real! I need to come back to try more things, but that bowl is among the best we can get here. Everything about it was delicious and that broth..... just fabulous. Noodles and egg cooked perfectly, the bowl came out piping hot - YES! Fantastic bowl and I am guaranteed to go back! Only negative - no place to write my name on the wall - all you guys have taken all the space!!!! :-) read more

One of my favorite hidden gems on the island. Took my friends here and they also had a great time. The food is comforting and the vibe is always super chill. Every time I've gone, I've been seated right away. It's never too crowded or chaotic. The staff is very welcoming and attentive, and you can tell they hustle. It gives the whole place a warm, down‑to‑earth atmosphere that makes you want to come back. The menu is a QR code you scan, and I think the drink menu design is always so cute. Their grilled gyoza is a classic I'll always order, and the fried rice lineup is all amazing. I've tried the original, shrimp, and char siu. Parking is usually simple too, I just park behind the Jamba Juice/Kozo Sushi and have never had an issue. read more

Gyoza Studio Kubota - Grilled gyoza, shrimp fried rice, Red chicken Paitan Ramen, Pork Belly Charsiu - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

4.5 solid stars Casual dining atmosphere. Colorful graffiti walls, which you can add to with the provided sharpies at the tables. This Japanese restaurant offers gyoza many ways. My friend and I shared the gyoza in paitan chicken soup base (the red paste for spice on the side for me), grilled garlic gyoza, and mizuna chicken salad. The gyoza are the standard pork filling with various flavors added... so cheeses has cheese, pesto has pesto, you get the drift... The soup was heated and cooked table side and in addition to the gyoza had vegetables. The 10 piece was plenty for us two gals with the other items we ordered. Service was friendly. Something to note- no separate checks, cannot even split in half paying on two cards. Not a big deal but worth noting. Entrance is off Kapahulu, parking accessible off Mo'oheau. Food came out quick. Everything was delicious and fresh. Chili oil, vinegar, dried chili flakes on the table to add to your food if need. Some fun drink options as well. Loved that the Frozen Grape literally had frozen grapes, though slightly too sweet for my liking. The Choya Green Tea Umeshu was a well balanced cocktail. read more

Pretty good! Potato salad was a let down because it didn't have veggies inside (like Japanese potato salad). It had seasoning ontop which tasted like chips seasoning lol. Surprisingly rly liked the mizuna salad!! White taki gyoza + curry cheese risotto was good was but quite filling. Parking is in the back and is quite tight. I think a reservation would be preferred for dinner on Fri/weekends. read more

So happy to find a restaurant that opens late with parking, delicious food, and great service. Noticed quite a bit of take out, so that will definitely be in my rotation during the day. Server was awesome to help guide us newbies on best items to order. She mentioned that the gyoza guts were all the same, except the garlic one, so we tried the garlic one. Was tasty, but I think was just a wee bit dry. Wish they had their own gyoza sauce, but they just had shoyu on the table. Tataki cucumbers - would not order again. Lots of shichimi (?) on cucumbers. Seems like that was it. Jellyfish with woodear - super yummy! Lettuce salad - cant believe we ordered this. So simple and pricey, for what it was. Lettuce with the usual Japanese restaurant dressing. But was yummy. Chicken namban - cooked perfectly with a tasty sauce! The egg salad had wee bit too much mayo, not enough egg. Gyoza ramen (white) - delicious soup but the noodles dont have much flavor. Would add just a touch of shoyu to the noodles. The gyoza are tasty. I like the juiciness better than the grilled garlic gyoza. Red chicken ramen - not too spicy. Much different flavor than the white. Need to return to try more gyoza and the highly recommended potato salad read more

Gyoza Studio Kubota - Lettuce salad - good but so simple - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located in that corner building with Jamba Juice, kozo sushi and Starbucks is Gyoza Studio Kubota... Made a last minute reservation... glad I did. Gyoza Studio was packed. The adjusted table seating to accommodate us. People very nice. Base in recommendations from other Yelp friends we ordered the belly pork karaage, cilantro gyoza and mabo tofu ramen. All were good... although as expected, the karaage belly pork was quite oily... yummy, but oily just because of what it is. Mabo tofu ramen was very thick and tasty. I was hoping for more cilantro flavor in the gyoza. It's basically pork gyoza topped with cilantro. All I. All it was a pleasant dinner experience. We were in and out within the hour. Adequate parking in the back by Jamba Juice. read more

This hole in the wall place is where Tenkaippin used to be in Kapahulu on the corner of Kapahulu and Date St. There is free parking in the rear that they share with Starbucks, and a handful of other places. The better half and I love a good bowl of ramen and gyoza and this is a good place to get both. Our eyes were big from looking at the menu (scan the QR) and it didn't help as we were both hungry. We ordered fried gyoza, shiso gyoza, garlic gyoza, and pesto gyoza. We also got their fried rice, Yu-Lin-Chi Fried Chicken and a bowl of white chicken Paitan ramen. Yes I told you we were hungry and we just love to try a variety of food. The fried rice while VERY tasty was kind of expensive but it was very good. Of all the gyoza that we tried, we really liked the pesto one as it tasted like an Italian dish we had at another place. The other gyozas was good too but the pesto one was really good in our opinion. The wrap wasn't thick and it didn't taste frozen like the place up the street ( not saying names but IYKYK where I'm talking about). The Yu-Lin-Chi chicken was good and went well with the fried rice. Loved that sauce. They should bottle that sauce and sell it - YUM! The White Chicken Paitan Ramen, broth was nice and rich tasting. Ramen noodles had a nice chew to it and the egg was perfect. It was so good that there wasn't a drop left in the bowl. If you like to draw or scribble your name, they provide pens so you can write or draw something on the walls. It reminded me of a place in Japan that we went to and the food hit the spot. read more

I've been wanting to dine at Gyoza Studio Kubota for about 2 years. It took so long because they aren't open during the day and open at 5pm. Mink likes to eat dinner shortly after she finishes work, before she retired, and that was always before 5pm. While she was in Thailand and I had to come back early to take care of my dad, I got to finally dine there with Yelp GF. By coincidence that it was the day before their 2 year anniversary. Happy 2 year anniversary and may they have many more! We arrived shortly after they opened and they already had diners inside. They let us pick any table and water came shortly after. You scan their QR code for the menu. Due to jet lag and catching up on work while I was away, I didn't read any reviews of the restaurant. Glad Yelp GF was there because I thought their featured dish in the menu was ramen lol. The place has a chill Japanese restaurant vibe with the wall being decorated with customers artwork or text. Customer service was friendly and efficient. We ordered a White Taki Gyoza, a Red Taki Gyoza and a Pork Belly Karaage. The Taki Gyoza's came on portable butane stovetops. That was unexpected and the bowls were huge! We could have shared one and got more menu items to try in hindsight. Both options were good but I enjoyed the White option more. The Pork Belly Karaage is a must try! It's delicious! Worth every calorie lol. I was quite full but we wanted to try the add on of the Curry Cheese Risotto so we did that on Yelp GF's White Soup option. It was very good but wait to eat it because it's hot! Glad I finally got to dine there and knock off another bookmark. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Finally made it here and was a bit disappointed. :( Called in a small phone order and was told my order would take 45 minutes. Showed up after 40 minutes and my food had apparently been sitting and was lukewarm. I paid almost $40 for a 6 piece regular gyoza, side chicken namban, and char siu potato salad. Gyoza were soggy and wet from sitting in the container. The meat filling was either overcooked or very lean. Nanban was good but maybe a bad choice for takeout. Tartar sauce was runny, the chicken skin was thick and chewy though the batter was quite tasty. Again, lukewarm. Potato salad was topped with nice crispy onions but was dry. There was not a piece of charsiu to be found in my portion. All just bad luck, I assume. Nice people and a lively place. Easy parking. Too bad the timing was not so good. read more

I have to make a second visit to Gyoza Studio Kubota - not just to try their different gyoza offerings. They are open from 500p till midnight (closed on Wednesday) except Fridays and Saturdays, when they close at 100a for all those customers who are hungover and hangry. Initial visit was for their lunch special bento: gyoza ( 3 pc ), karaage chicken, fried rice, kim chee, and a couple of broccoli florets. This was during the Summer and they have since discontinued any lunch service...it was a brief trial period, evidently. Gyoza was good. Fried rice was a bit greasy but also good. I recall some spiciness which must have come from the kim chee. Good and for $16+ a good value, as well. Interior decor...uhhh, Japanese street chic....a nice casual vibe. They encourage customers to draw and write on the walls. I'll let my photos tell the tale. Parking in the back - shared with other businesses, to include Starbucks Kapahulu. They are next to the music store. read more

Late night eats in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawai'i... After a movie, we searched our Yelp apps for a place that was still open and wasn't in Waikiki... LOL! We found Gyoza Studio Kubota! We parked in the Starbucks parking lot (since it was closed) and walked around the corner. There was a table open and we were motioned over. Service was efficient and polite. This cozy shop was kind of trendy since the wall had customers' autographs and drawings on it... like graffiti. I got the Gyoza Ramen which was comforting. The gyoza was tasty! I'd go again since it was convenient! read more

Super late review since my visit (Oct. 2) but I still vividly dream about Chicken Paitan Ramen! That broth was so rich, creamy, and had so much chicken flavor. The noodles were also perfectly cooked. I also ordered the Yamaimo Karaage, and they had a nice crunch and crispness to them. The garlic dumplings initially weren't a wow for me, but as I ate more the garlic flavor came through. I chose to eat here since my flight landed late at night & they open late, so a huge bonus. Service was also super friendly and nice, and my waitress answered all the questions I had. Overall, I'd highly recommend coming here for ramen! read more

Awesome quality! And unique menu options. Loved the lemon ramen! Would definitely go again.

Yuto makes the best gyozas. Hands-down. Periodt. While they are known for their gyozas their ramen is just as stellar. I usually get the red ramen which is spicier but today I got the white ramen. Forgot how good it is too. Wow. The chicken paitan broth is so comforting and the thin noodles they use is similar to what I would expect from a ramen shop in Japan. The broth feels like a warm hug - especially with all the rain outside. Ramen and gyoza is such a perfect pairing for a rainy day. Definitely check them out! I always end up going here. It's hard to go anywhere else for ramen because I always end up wanting to come back here. Service is always kind and they are very prompt with check-ins. Ambiance is chill and very late-night Izakaya vibe. Love it. read more

A job well done here. 5/5 for side dish options! Recommend the edamame! Cucumbers! And the spicy red sauce ramen. Staff attentive! Hours open are ideal for late night owls! The spot is fun, low-key, and nice for a group. Only downside is parking for those who struggle walking/ would need a wheel chair. Wish the lot was closer. But! This was WORTH GOING TO!

This place has a cozy, homey vibe, super cute inside. I loved all the homemade art on the walls, it was so creative and fun to look at. I found myself reading and admiring everything while waiting for my food, which made the time pass quickly. There was a TV playing and music in the background, creating a laid-back atmosphere. They also had a board listing all their gyoza varieties, which was a nice touch. I ordered a hot green tea (they microwaved it), the lamb gyoza, and the red chicken paitan ramen. My ramen actually came out first, before the drink or gyoza, but it looked amazing: rich, creamy, and super inviting. It tasted just as good as it looked. The chicken was sliced nicely and flavorful, and the egg was cooked perfectly. The lamb gyoza had great flavor, nothing too wild, but definitely tasty. And the tea was solid, even though it was just microwaved. The overall vibe was great definitely skewed toward a younger crowd, mostly people in their 20s and 30s. I went on a Friday night, and there were new customers walking in every 5-10 minutes, so it seems like a popular spot. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the experience. I'd come back. read more

We found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out for a date night, and I'm so glad we did! Making a reservation was super easy. My husband called and was able to book a table for Saturday night. Parking was also easy since there's a lot near Jamba Juice/Starbucks right by the restaurant. Service was amazing from start to finish. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She helped me pick a drink (I got the frozen strawberry Calpico, which she adjusted to make it perfectly sweet for me so 10/10!). My husband ordered a highball, and both drinks were so good! For pupus, we ordered gyoza and the nanban chicken. At first, we planned to get 12 pieces of gyoza with different flavours, but since I don't eat pork and 12 would've been too much for my husband, we changed it to just 6. But I think our waitress forgot to update it, and we got 12 pieces. But the owner, (I assume) saw we were hesitant to take it because we weren't sure if it was ours. And we told him we only ordered 6 pieces, and he just gave the other 6 for free! Totally unnecessary but such an amazing gesture! For mains, I got the white paitan ramen and my husband had the red paitan ramen. Both bowls were rich, flavourful, and so comforting. I especially loved the broth. We'll definitely be coming back, and next time we're bringing friends! Also just to share: they do have a bathroom, but you have to walk through the kitchen to get to it. My husband went and said it felt like stepping into a club because of the red lights inside . read more

I tried Gyoza Studio Kubota and it really feels like a hidden hole in the wall spot. The gyoza were really good, and I loved that they had so many different flavors to choose from. The pork belly karaage was definitely the highlight. It was so crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best things we ordered. The ramen was just okay in comparison, so I would definitely recommend coming here more for the appetizers. Service was also great, friendly and attentive. Overall, such a solid spot if you're craving gyoza and small plates. read more

This place is a super cozy little Japanese spot and the ramen here is absolutely incredible. We tried both the red and white paitan ramen and these might be some of my favorite bowls of ramen in Honolulu. The broth is rich and creamy with that perfect chicken paitan consistency, the kind that just warms your soul. The red has a nice kick to it while the white lets the pure chicken flavor shine through. Both were fantastic and I genuinely had a hard time picking a favorite between the two. We also tried the cheese gyoza which were honestly just ok. Nothing bad about them but they didn't blow me away. That said, they have a ton of other gyoza varieties on the menu so I'm not going to judge the gyoza game off one flavor. Definitely planning to come back and work through more of the options. The spot itself is small and intimate. It feels like you're eating at a legit neighborhood joint rather than some touristy ramen chain. Staff was super friendly too. If you're in Honolulu and looking for a solid bowl of ramen, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a shot. Can't wait to come back and try more of the gyoza lineup. read more

First stop after arriving on island bc our typical first meal restaurant was already closed for the night. We started with cold tofu and gyoza. We also had the cold chicken. The gyoza was so good that we got another order. The kids both got spicy chicken paitan which had good texture and flavor. Friendly service and fun vibe. One fun thing is the wall, where they invite you to add your own John Hancock. Yum. read more

My daughter and I have been here 3 times this month. LOL. Yes, it is that good. It was a random find one late Friday night - Thank you, Yelp! We were lucky to have gotten a table for 4 after 9pm. Service was amazing. They helped each other and although they apologized for the delay for the food coming out late, there wasn't much delay at all. This place is small, probably less than 10 tables, and they were busy even after we left past 10 pm. Note: they close at 1am Fridays and Saturdays. The ambiance was homey. It gives the Japanese vibe with the decor. They have a chalk board menu for some of their selections but they also have a QR code for the menu for more details. The photos attached are combined from the 3 visits. The first 2x I had the white chicken paitan ramen but one of the waitresses kept raving about the lemon chicken ramen so our last visit I tried it!! Wow! It was ONO It's not really lemony or citrusy, but you'll love it if you like lemon/citrus. Hard to describe the flavor but that will probably be my go to now. The Taki Gyoza is A MUST! In short, gyoza in a broth; a very delicious broth! The pork karaage and Yu Lin Chin Fried Chicken was really tasty (no photo on this one). Parking- same parking as Jamba Juice. I thought it was the one with Papa John's, but it's not. Make sure you park in the right place. Lastly, make rezzies for big parties! read more

It was good - it's exactly what you'd expect lotsa gyoza. I think the gyoza stuffing is mostly the same and they have different toppings. I went simple and got the grilled (are they fried in a pan or grilled on a grill?) and boiled (steamed?) the most plain ones. These were tasty. Also got their spicy ramen which was good also. Our server was friendly and nice. Her family was visiting from Japan and asked us to take a photo of them. Good sign that Japanese family eating there I think! The best thing about this place is plenty of parking in the back. Back by Jamba Juice. Parking like this is hard to come by on kapahulu. This is the main reason I'll likely be back. My friend said this is the old tenkaiipin- looks unrecognizable. read more

Gyoza Studio Kubota - Taki Gyoza (white) - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The service was fast and polite. Vibes are fun izakaya with small plates to share and lots of fried foods. The food was a bit expensive for what you got but maybe I didn't order the right things Favorite item was the shiso gyoza. Liked the lightness of the herbs and dipping sauce. The gyoza are small and delicate, for over $10 for 6 small gyoza it was kind of pricey, although I know they're handmade. The regular gyoza were not quite as tasty as the shiso ones since there was no contrast. I did appreciate how delicate the skin was. The fried pork belly was pretty heavy and decadent but done well. The pesto ebi had a lot of mayo on it and was quite heavyl, being deep fried then smothered in mayo. It needed some more acid to lighten it up, or less mayo, since it was already so fatty from the deep fry. The shrimp were large and tender. I would return once more to try the ramen, but was a little disappointed in the gyoza considering it's in the name. Overall it wasn't bad, it just wasn't something I would definitely return for. read more

Ambiance was nice and comforting and the service was excellent. We got the red and white taki gyoza, both were delicious. I preferred the red despite it being quite spicy. Afterwards we got the cheese curry and the zosui added to the broth. I would've preferred both to be thicker but I think it was a matter of having it sit longer. We also got the eggplant, sweet chili ebi, and potato salad. The eggplant was delicious, the potato salad was good but needed salt, the ebi was also good but a little too spicy for me. I got both the honey lemon and calpico chu hi and the yuzu chu hi. Both were so easy to drink as was the yuzu sorbet chu hi and the umeshu. Overall great experience. read more

Gyoza Studio Kubota - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

+1000 stars if I could Tl;dr: everything is good here. Expect a chill casual vibe and many shareable dishes. Parking is easy in the lot by Jamba. Fair alcohol menu with fun izakaya type drinks (yuzu chu-hi is my go to! ) Where do I even start?! We've been coming to the spot for the last year or so and it never ever fails. The chef clearly understands the assignment when it comes to making memorable food that stands out and leaves you wanting more-- flavor, texture, creativity, tradition. My top dishes (in order): 1- charsiu bowl. Super tender thin slices of pork belly, paired with perfectly cooked bean sprouts, green onion, and kewpie mayo on top of a perfect serving of white rice. The pork literally melts in your mouth. Just get it and thank me later! :) 2- pork karaage. Again, idk how chef does it. But these are perfectly marinated and fried pork belly slices that are melty and crunchy at the same time. Great for the table to share (or just for yourself.) 3- Ebi w/ mayo and pesto. This is one of the new items on the menu as of July 2025. Again, this is where creativity and flavor come into play. IT'S SO GOOD. A pleasant surprise of 2 flavor profiles I would've never thought would.. work. 4- Chicken Mizuna salad: crispy, lightly spicy mizuna paired perfect with tender chicken and a bomb miso/sesame dressing. Again, just get it and thank me later. 5- Shiso Gyoza: if you're a Shiso lover like me, get it! Fresh Shiso atop steamed or grilled gyoza. Simple, so good. I can go on and on about this place. Everything we've had here is amazing. It's a small team, so be kind ok the wait times and know that it'll all be worth the wait :) read more

Honestly, the best gyoza I have had in a very, very long time. If you love gyoza, go check it out! It is very assertive with ginger, so if you have issues with that, that might be not for you.

My husband "failed the test" and couldn't find the washroom, but I had no problem finding it.

Lotsa good things being said about Gyoza Studio Kubota. Finally the evening came to check them out. So with a few fun friends we did a sampling. We had the fried chicken, gyoza of course, scrambled eggs, and ramen in the white paitan broth. Food was satisfying but rather unremarkable. When asked where the restroom was, server pointed to the kitchen and said it's in the back of the building through those doors but you have to go around the building to access. We never did find the restroom. Lol. The space is cute and fresh with minimalist vibes. Located in a strip mall which includes Starbucks and a rather large back parking lot shared with other businesses. read more
