    Beef noodle soup
    Alex L.

    This was located inside Stix Asian food mall! The vibes inside is very cozy. The service was really nice! The flavor of the beef noodle soup was rich and tasty! The broth was flavorful without having a heavy soy sauce flavor. The meat was tender and the noodles were chewy overall the taste was great and authentic! Just wish there were more pieces of beef! Overall a good authentic spot if you are craving Beef Noodle soup!

    Neo loco moco

    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!

    Fried rice and pork chop
    Alex X.

    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 - 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.

    Beef Tendon Noodle
    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.

    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.

Service - The Place had good service. The food came out on time. Servers were checking up on us without hovering or being overbearing. They paid attention when we called asking for help. I was listening to the workers, and they seem to like being there. I mean, "work is work", and no one REALLY LIKES going to work. I'm pretty sure we'd all rather be someplace else besides work. Maybe I caught them in a good mood, but, it genuinely seemed like the moral in the place was good and the people working there that night didn't mind being there. Vibe - Small, family vibe. I liked that there was buzz but it wasn't loud. When we came, most of the people there were older, but as we left later in the evening, a more younger crowd started lining up and coming in. That tells me, they appeal to a wide demographic/pallet, which is good. Overall, it's going on the list of places to go back to and recommend. I don't really like going to ramen places during the summer because it's hot. But I would go here.

Being a Black and Asian couple shouldn't have any bearing on how paying customers are treated, but unfortunately, that's how the experience felt to us. We can overlook mediocre food or service, but feeling judged or unwelcome is something we won't overlook. We were there as paying customers and deserved to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as anyone else. Unfortunately, this is a place we won't be returning to, and based on our experience, we would not recommend it to others.

    5 Stars - Goma Tei Ramen…read more Goma Tei Ramen - Ala Moana 1450 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96814 Visited: September 6, 2026 This was my first time at Goma Tei Ramen, and I really enjoyed it! I ordered the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen, Level 3 ($19.75), and it was excellent. Level 3 definitely brought the heat--it was very spicy, but just as importantly, it was incredibly flavorful. I loved it! The others in my party all seemed to really enjoy their meals as well. We also had Wakame Tan Tan Ramen ($14.99 each), a Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl ($15.99), and Seafood Fried Rice ($19.99). Our subtotal was $89.21 before tax. The service was fast and friendly, and overall it was a great first experience. If you enjoy ramen with some serious spice and plenty of flavor, the Level 3 Spicy Tan Tan is definitely worth trying. I'll definitely be returning!

    Gomq Tei can get really busy, with a physical wait list to track your place in line. It's located…read morein the underbelly of the Ala Moana mall, so you're essentially waiting in the parking lot. I was able to go for lunch on a random weekday which had zero wait thankfully. I ordered their Tan Tan Ramen with Pork Tonkatsu. They offer to keep the tonkatsu on the side but I like when the breading absorbs some of the flavor from the broth. The noodles were al dente and the tonkatsu was tender. I think the price is decent and the food comes out pretty fast, but the soup was grainy and had a layer of sourness that didn't hit right for me.

    Definitely think this place is a hidden gem in Waikiki. Why wait in a long line for udon when you…read morecan come here? There wasn't a wait when we visited, and the portions were huge! Plus it was a lot cleaner than another udon place within the strip. I felt like we got a bang for our buck here. I ordered their bento and it came it so many items. My husband ordered their spicy udon. Although not super spicy, it was delicious. Our server was super nice and attentive. We had our baby with us, and catered to him as well. We were super sorry about his mess, and he made us feel not so bad about it.

    First of all, they took away their big bowls, which feels like defeating the whole point of going…read morethere. The service used to be so good, but now it's terrible. I'm pretty sure they gave us the wrong order three times .On top of that, we first saw one cockroach and told a staff member, who didn't even apologize on the behalf of the restaurant and just said, "Okay." He grabbed it with a napkin while we were all in shock. It shouldn't be a normal occurrence for a restaurant to have that. I understand it's Hawaii and there are always cockroaches, but it seemed like they were completely used to having them around. After seeing a second one, I decided to take a picture to show the manager. The manager just went, "Oh man, that sucks," and that was it. That's all he said. It definitely seems like this establishment has gone downhill, and honestly, I think they're just too used to dealing with cockroaches. But do wagyu bowl was pretty good
