    Neo loco moco
    Jeremy S.

    This restaurant is part of the STIX Asia food hall inside the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Sharing space with many other Asian restaurants, this place specializes in Taiwanese cuisine (e.g., beef noodle soup). We got immediately seated, and there was only one other group eating here. I got the neo loco moco ($14.85), which was basically Taiwanese minced pork over rice and a tea egg. The pork had a nice mix of sweet and savory flavors, definitely reminiscent of Taiwanese cuisine I've eaten in the past. We were hungry, so we finished our meals quickly. The portion size was also a little small, but it was tasty overall. The food hall resembles ones that I've seen while traveling in Japan. Many of the restaurants here also serve Japanese cuisine (e.g., ramen, katsu, and sushi). Located in the heart of Waikiki, it's a convenient place to try many different types of food. However, on a side note, we also noticed that the restaurant next to us had a bug zapper. Occasionally, we did hear some loud zaps. There were some gnats that congregated on our table too. While the gnats posed a minor nuisance, they were still noticeable.

    Really tender beef and flavorful beef broth. Altogether a nice find, as there are not many Taiwanese restaurants in the area that I've seen. Really hit the spot!

    Classic comfort Chinese food with Hawaiian names. I was honestly a bit confused by the branding of the restaurant and their item names when I first got to the end of the food hall, but they probably know their market better than I, and all I needed to see was minced pork over rice (the Neo loco moco) and I knew it was going to be a good spot for food. All the comforting classics are here: minced pork over rice, sesame noodles (don't forget to mix in the sauce), fried tofu, wonton soup, hot and sour soup, fried rice, you name it, they have it (kidding, obviously - they may not have it if it's not on their menu). Though, I will say that the pork chop was a bit disappointing, as it lacked flavor compared to everything else. Basically everything is good here, you just have to sit down and hope you get service (when it's busy and full, it can feel understaffed).

    With so many enticing eateries inside of the Stix Asia food hall, there was no shortage of options for us to choose from as we tried to decide on what to eat for a late lunch. Ramen, udon, sushi, katsu, pho...nearly everything piqued our curiosity! However, after coming across Honolulu Noodle & Co. and checking out their menu, we knew almost immediately we'd end up here. Even though nothing about the look of this place stood out (no offense), the prospect of some potentially delicious Taiwanese food was too strong too resist! Now, perhaps it's because they're kind of tucked away in a corner, but one of the first things we noticed about Honolulu Noodle Co. was that it was one of the quieter restaurants around here. A potential red flag to some, but it actually appealed but it actually appealed to us since we just wanted to grab a quick and quiet bite. As for the menu, it's not particularly extensive, but it has an interesting mix of dishes. Most are noodle soups, including several varieties of their beef noodle soup and about a half dozen types of dry noodles, but they also have a slate of appetizers, sides, rice plates, and even some combos to offer. -- NEO LOCO MOCO...$14.85 Pretty unique, as our server described it as a cross between a Lu Rou Fan and a Loco Moco. Thankfully, this was pretty good, too. The pork belly wasn't super fatty and had a nice richness to it. That said, I wish this had more pork belly and way more sauce (there was hardly any). -- (#A2) BEEF & TENDON NOODLE SOUP...$24.85 Not the best I've had, but solid. The chunks of beef were mostly tender, the tendon was soft, and the ratio between the two was balanced. I liked the bite on the noodles as well, but my favorite part was the broth, which was beefy and a decent body to it. Beyond the food, service here wasn't too shabby either. The worker who took our order was really friendly and the kitchen got our order out fairly quick. That being said, as several other Yelpers have already mentioned, I'd be remiss not to acknowledge that the Beef Noodle Soup is a splurge. In fairness, I wouldn't say it's overpriced, as I have no idea what the restaurant's economics are, and it's Waikiki, but it's, objectively, more expensive than ones others I've had in the Bay Area and SoCal, which are also pricey regions. All together, while what we tried wasn't quite as flavorful as what we've had back home, we were still pretty happy to discover some decent Taiwanese food in Waikiki. At the very least, Honolulu Noodle Co. was a change of pace from all of the Hawaiian and Japanese food we'd been having (not that I don't love either). However, while I'd be more than open to coming back, between how nothing overwhelmed us and all of the places I still have bookmarked to try, I can't say I'd make a point of it. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.

    Beef noodle soup
    Mark L.

    Beef noodle soup - The soup was good. And probably one of the best in Honolulu. But compared to the best beef noodle soup in Taiwan or some parts of world, it's not top notch. Popcorn chicken - The batter is very good. This one is legit. Fried rice - I think they should not use shrimp but if they do, they should seared it better with garlic. It looks like plain cooked shrimp. Lack of delectable looks and taste.

    Most authentic and Best Beef Noodle soup, Fried Tofu AND Neo Loco Moco aka 卤肉饭 ive Ever had in US. Not only the service was super attentive and helpful, ambiance like asia street shop immerse in STIX Asia street food basement just like Asia. One of my Favorite and Must visit spot everytime in Oahu. We ordered: Beef & tendon noodle soup Neo Loco moco ; 卤肉饭 sesame dey noodle Fried tofu Spicy wonton And definitely ask for xtra picked cabbage and their house-made hot sauce to compliment your dishes

    I have been to Taipei and have been dining in real Taiwanese restaurants all over Boston Chinatown n Little Saigon so IMHO this restaurant is not authentic Taiwanese cuisine. I ordered a small bowl of Taiwanese beef noodles $17, the full size would be about $24. I was shocked it came out watery n totally bland I had to ask for soy sauce n Siracha, the server gave me some strange looking condiments, he had such a thick accent I had no idea what he was talking about so I didn't use the yellow stuff, the white pickle tasted ok. It was a waste of money I should have had pho next door.

    Was in love with hand pulled beef noodles and xlb from Bay Area so was on a quest to find the same here - taste/broth of xlb was good but ginger was not served with it- beef was tender n flavorful and noodles were of a good texture but broth lacked charm - oh well disc for Kamaaina and also better than being noodle less!

    We were doing a short staycation in Waikiki and wanted to try something different. Honolulu Noodle & Co. is located in Stix Asia, in the back. This place is good!!! It's different from most other noodle restaurants, which are usually ramen or pho. The staff was awesome and made great suggestions. We got the beef noodle and popcorn chicken. The beef broth was perfect and the noodle (homemade) were very nice and chewy. The popcorn chicken was super crispy but tender and moist inside. We would come back here and would like to try their dry noodle and potstickers next time.

    Wonton soup bowl with add on noodles
    Heidi K.

    Menu is limited. Waiter kept pushing like he was trying to up sell. He kept looking around the restaurant. There is only a small wonton soup bowl. So I asked if it was only soup or did it come with noodles. If you want noodles it is an add on for $6. Then my order got mixed up and it arrived without noodles. The noodles was unusual. More like emein instead of the thinner noodles that normally come with wonton. At least they give a choice of broth. I got the vegetable broth instead of beer. It was tasty. The 2nd waiter who brought my food was much nicer and corrected my order immediately.

    牛肉麵和肉飯都熱熱香香的,很不錯喔。地方很好找,環境氛圍也不錯 The beef noodles and meat rice are hot and fragrant, very good. The location is easy to find, and the atmosphere is quite nice.

    James L.

    In the basement of a shopping center lies this food court, with this amazing little noodle shop. The Beef tendon noodle soup was just amazing. They also have Tipsy Boba, which is just a spiked boba... it's a great idea. Happy to come visit again next time I come to Hawaii.

    Gyoza
    Amanda C.

    Honolulu Noodle Company is tucked away in the very back of the Asian food hall in Waikiki. Getting there feels like wandering through a subway mall station in Japan. I love that walk almost as much as the gyoza. First bite had that satisfying crunch, then juicy pork. Zero soggy bottoms. Beautiful presentation. Delicious! It was fun to read the cute letters kids had sent that they displayed near the ingredient window glass too.

    We came to Honolulu and saw the line outside Ramen Nakamura, so we figured it had to be worth…read moretrying. Overall, the ramen was very good, but I want to share an important tip about their waiting system so others don't get caught off guard. When your name gets close to the top of the list, do NOT wander away. They will call your name three times, and if you're not standing there, they'll cross your name off immediately. What surprised me was that they start calling names before the current customers have even finished eating or paid their bill. I had made eye contact with the host, pointed to my name and party size, and he acknowledged me. There were still people sitting at the counter eating, and it looked like it would be another 10-15 minutes before seats opened up. I stepped away briefly and came back, only to find my name had already been crossed off the list. The party that was supposedly leaving hadn't even paid yet and was still sitting in their seats. When I explained the situation, the host simply said, "Sorry, your time passed already. I called your name three times." Their sign says they will wait 3 minutes, but in our case it felt more like they called the name three times in quick succession and then removed it. Thankfully, after some discussion, he agreed to seat us anyway. So my advice: once your name is within a couple spots of being called, stay close and pay attention. As for the food, we ordered the Oxtail Ramen (spicy) and the Cashew Pork Ramen. The ramen itself was excellent. The oxtail was tender, although it didn't have a lot of flavor on its own in the soup. They provide a separate bowl with ginger and what appeared to be a ponzu-based sauce, and the intended way to eat it is to remove the oxtail from the soup and dip it into the sauce. That definitely enhanced the flavor. The restaurant is set up with bar-style seating in a half-oval arrangement. Your party will be seated shoulder-to-shoulder, and guests will be sitting directly across from you on the other side of the counter. I'd estimate there are about 25 seats total. Service is efficient, food comes out quickly, and most customers finish and leave fairly fast. For reference, we arrived at 8:38 PM on a Tuesday with 17 people ahead of us. We were seated around 9:15 PM, our food arrived by about 9:30 PM, and we left around 10:00 PM. Overall, this would have been a 5-star experience if not for the confusion with the waiting list. The ramen is absolutely worth trying, but understanding how their queue system works will save you from a potentially frustrating experience.

    For a place that usually has a line snaking out of the restaurant, I have to say this place is…read morejust... ok. It's more of a quick, "eat and go" place for those in a hurry. Food is not bad. Being in Waikiki, parking is tricky... tricky as in "non-existent."

You satisfy all my…read morecravings for soft noodles swimming in steaming broth with not one, not two, but THREE vegan ramen choices. Yay!! (They also have a cold vegan ramen) I waited until I tried all three of the warm vegan ramens to post this review. Each one has a different broth but all are topped with charred fresh vegetables that remain crisp yet melt in your mouth. Mmmmm! Love that they have eggplant and kambocha, simply brilliant! And the noodles are medium with a slight curl. They have great texture and a bouncy bite. But let's get to the broths. The first one I tried was the clear broth. It was light yet complex, fresh yet savory. The next one was the tan tan. It was creamy and nutty, rich but not gritty (like some tan tan ramens). The last one was the tomato broth, so unique and distinct. It was tangy yet sweet and aromatic. (note: they serve this with a shaker of Parmesan cheese to use as a topping, makes culinary sense, but I also don't consume dairy so passed on the topping). Now you're probably wondering which was my favorite. I don't have one. They are all different and delicious! No complaints. Only praise for three impeccably crafted dishes cooked with care. I adore that I can come back and eat whatever suits my flavor fancy. They also serve a vegan karaage. Crunchy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside but enough texture to make it feel 'meaty.' They do a great job with this dish serving it with a small salad tossed lightly with a goma-ish dressing. There is also a side sweet chili dipping sauce. I also am in love with their chips. Seems like a quirky item for a ramen menu but once you have it you realize how much sense it makes. Cut thin like air, the potatoes are cooked to golden perfection and sprinkled with Himalayan sea salt. It's a great crunchy starter before a bowl of warm sumptuous ramen and something other than your typical gyoza... Speaking of gyoza, they don't have a vegan option but my hubby tried it and always orders a side. They have options with cheese and garlic toppings too. Hubby has also tried their tonkatsu and shoyu ramen and slurped it ALL up. He was especially impressed with the shoyu ramen. All this deliciousness is enjoyed in an air-conditioned restaurant with an industrial steam-punk vibe. High and low tables accommodates seating for couples to groups. They also have a lovely lanai if you prefer eating outside. Street metered parking is easy to find, and they also have validated parking in the small lot. Junpuu is right across the Blaisdell Center so it is a great option if you're there for a fair, concert, or other event. The servers are courteous and efficient, and I give their playlist 5 plus stars. I usually find myself tapping my feet or humming along to the well-curated songs, classic and retro. If you are Gen-X you will totally understand! I came to Junpuu looking for a warm vegan ramen, I found three. And I'll keep coming back and rotating through their stellar selection of amazingly tasty noodle soups. Well, that and the karaage and chips. If you are vegan or vegetarian this is a MUST-try place. But you don't have to be to enjoy the bowls of culinary comfort that comes out of the kitchen of Junpuu.

The Good: * One of my favorite dishes is the cold chicken noodles with dipping sauce. It comes on a bed of freshly cut cucumbers & noodles if you wish. Literally is such a clean delicious dish. No one else makes this kind of dish. I highly suggest if you don't wanna eat ramen that day, but you want a good stack of noodles and protein. * The tan tan ramen is the basic good stuff that never gets old. * I have also tried the sour/spicy clear brother ramen and that was real interesting and good, but I gotta be in the mood for that one The Bad: * sometimes it's so busy! gotta wait for a table The Weird: * the menu is getting larrrrrrrrrge, screaming that the restaurant is run by Chinese really lol

    Was craving spicy ramen since I was feeling under the weather. Got seated really quick which was…read moregreat but did take a while to get someone to take our order or acknowledge that we've been sitting there ready. Food came out fairly quick. Food was decent and Portion was reasonable. What I didn't like was how they kept coming up to our table and trying to take away our plate and bowl as if we were finish. Not once but 3x. Seriously, I still had ramen and char sui in my bowl. Let me finish!!!. It felt like they they were trying to rush us and mind you it wasn't busy at all. To add to it, when did they start automatically adding 15% gratitude for a party of 2. I get if its a big party but for 2 or even if by yourself is unbelievable. Save yourself the trouble and eat at another ramen spot. There is a few good ones around ala moana area or in the food court as well.

    Food - so delicious. Some of the best ramen I've had. The REAL star though are their sticky ribs…read more You gotta get them. Perfectly seasoned and fall off the bone. My bf and I both got the $35 meal sets. I also ordered a frozen beer and I thought the whole thing would be a slushie but it's only the top. Anyway it was fun and delicious. Service - no complaints. Workers were nice and things went smoothly Ambiance - lots of outdoor seating. It was casual and we had no wait.

    Momosan in Waikiki serves genuinely good food, and that's what makes the experience so frustrating…read more The staff was friendly and courteous, but the service was noticeably slow. The biggest issue, however, wasn't the wait it was the outdoor dining experience. Sitting on the patio felt like being dropped into Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. Every imaginable bird seemed to be there: little birds, big birds, one-legged birds, scruffy birds, sick-looking birds, and fearless "gangster" birds that stared you down and swooped in the moment food hit the table. They hopped onto empty chairs, circled the tables, and constantly tried to steal food, making it impossible to relax and enjoy the meal. I understand that outdoor seating comes with the occasional bird, but this was on another level. The restaurant should consider better bird deterrents because the constant interruptions took away from what was otherwise a very good meal. If you order takeout or sit indoors, you'll probably have a much better experience. The food is worth trying, but unless the bird situation is addressed, I wouldn't choose the outdoor seating again.
