Woke up to the New Year wanting ramen! But wanted to try a new place in town. My husband wanted rice, so no better place than to choose a Japanese Restaurant who would have the best of both worlds for us! We came at the perfect time because once we were seated, the tables started filling up quick. Our server greeted us kindly & let us choose between three tables, then quickly served water (loved that)! The restaurant is small & can definitely bring a crowd but they work fast here. We spent 40 minutes here total from time of being sat to paying for our bill. After our order was taken my ramen came out less than 5 minutes, then our appetizers ( Calamari Not pictured unfortunately but so delicious 5/5!) Takoyaki & then my husbands entree the Pork Katsu w/ Curry + Rice. Everything was so good & the service was phenomenal! Also our bill was $57 which for the amount of food and variety that we got was perfect to us. We barely eat out at nice places without our bill exceeding $70+ so if you want yummy ramen at a great price, I'd definitely come back! read more

Meh. Try this place out after Yelp ranked it top 100 ramens in the US. It was okay. I wasn't blown away by any means... I far prefer Wagaya much much better ... The ramen there is this far more flavorful and their spare ribs much more tender and their appetizers are more tasty too. Like the potato mochi... I just wanted to try this place because of the Yelp ranking but I'm sticking with Wagaya! read more

Onoya Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went here with my partner on 7/18 and we both had severe food poisoning symptoms shortly after eating. Called the manager to make it right, but was immediately dismissed. This was the first time since last weekend that we were able to eat out together. There is no way we got food poisoning from anywhere but here. Had the manager list off what they sold and how no one else called in, but the potato salad we got only had 3 sales that day. The special tonkotsu, only 5. So I'm not sure what about that proves their point. They're either leaving food out at unsafe temperatures or they aren't washing their hands. Either way I will not be eating here again. It's a bad look when you make people sick and want to fight over a $60 refund. read more

Onoya Ramen - Tonkotsu Spicy, Tonkotsu Special, Potato Salad, Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Delicious Ramen! Definitely stop in here. Make a rezzy if you can but walk-ins are welcome. This is a small, quaint spot with friendly service and a few staple options. Really great, authentic flavors. 5 heat options, you can ask for the heat on the side to ease in!! Other than Ramen, they have options such as gyoza and karaage chicken. Small, free parking lot. Casual. I took the photos after getting started so they aren't as fancy as when served...it was just too ono not to get that first bite! read more

Food: great!!! Got the spicy tonkotsu ramen ($16). It wasn't too spicy - it had just the right amount of kick. Ramen had so much flavor and the perfect amount of toppings. I appreciate the fact you didn't have to pay extra for the ajitama; it already comes in all the ramens. Potato salad was a negative. Did not taste like the normal Japanese potato salad. Ambiance: it is really hot inside. Tables are spaced out just right. Service: they were quick and friendly. We got seated and got our meals and paid in less than an hour. Ramen came out super fast and they were busy. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving ramen. The price is more on the expensive side or I guess nowadays that's normal ($16). Regardless it was worth it because the ramen was extraordinary! read more

Went here for the first time today and had a great experience! The place has the feel of a typical ramen spot and the staff are great. They gave great recommendations and were very attentive. Food was amazing as well! We ordered their Shio Ramen and the Tonkotsu Special and both were super flavorful and savory. Decent portions with a good amount of noodles and meat. And the prices were reasonable for the quality and portions. Overall really tasty and would definitely come back! read more

We've yet to find another ramen place that we liked as much as this spot. We walked about a mile from our hotel on Waikiki Beach to check out this hole in the wall ramen spot because it had such good reviews. The shio ramen with chicken broth caught my eye as I don't eat pork and it was so good! My vegetarian boyfriend was also happy to have some veggie options. read more

Solid ramen spot! Ignore the Yelp waitlist or call to confirm. We thought we had to get on the waitlist and were like 4th or 5th in line! Got there and parked and I decided to just check. They were not busy!!! So make sure to check. I ordered the summer special. Think it's the hiyashi ramen. Refreshing. It hit the spot for me. I guess you could call it basic but it was nice. My family enjoyed the ramen. We got my dad a tonkatsu and it was quite nice, juicy and crispy. Not dry. Attentive server, small parking lot. Oh it gets a bit hot in there but we'd come back! read more

Onoya Ramen - The chicken was super crunchy and curry was delicious. We also ordered tonkotsu spicy noodles which were good as well. - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One wall is black and white with some sassy sayings and that theme is also on the chopstick wrappers, which I appreciated. The servers were helpful and friendly, and our food came out pretty quickly. The bowls did have a good amount of toppings in them and the pork was tasty. I think I would have preferred the noodles to be just slightly thicker. Overall a good value for the price. read more

Onoya Ramen - Tonkotsu black - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

5 outta mf 5! My husband and I stumbled upon this gem a few weeks ago after watching a play at Manoa theater and needing some quick din din before we had to relieve my parents from kid duty. Onoya ramen was open and we went in blind. When I say it was the best food decision we've made... I'm for realllll. We've been back 3 times since! Now our new routine is taking the kids to surf.. then coming for ramen after. Pros: -fantastic service -quick, clean, convenient ambiance. -easy bill pay with QR code at the end of the meal. -BEST RAMEN EVERRRR. legit brings us right back to Osaka. -super awesome keiki meal that my picky daughter loves Cons: -parking can be a little tight but we get lucky every time. Highly recommend. We will def be back. read more

Still one of the best ramen spots on the island! My only real complaint? It's a bit of a drive for me--but honestly, it's worth every mile. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu is my favorite, but with their specials changing monthly, I'm just grateful I live here so I have the chance to try every new creation they come up with! Parking can be tricky, but it's not impossible. It really depends on when you go--since the laundromat next door can get busy. Luckily, there's also street parking if the lot is full. One thing I always say is that Hawaii needs a stamp card for must-visit ramen places, and this spot would *definitely* be in my top 5! Also, you can't beat the cool, casual, and modern atmosphere. Also, huge shoutout to the staff for their kindness and attentiveness. Our server--a young college guy most likely--was really patient with my pregnancy-related requests and questions. He didn't seem too confident about the do's and don'ts of pregnancy, but I really appreciated that instead of guessing, he checked with the kitchen to make sure everything was safe for me. I was grateful we were both able to work together to find something I could enjoy eating. I can't have raw eggs, and they cooked mine all the way through without hesitation. They even followed up after I got my food to make sure it was to my standards. (Side note: isn't it crazy how menus will tell you what's vegan but not what's safe for pregnancy??) read more

Feels like the choices you get to make to personalize your ramen are not honored. When I have compared my order to my husband's ramen it seems like we ended up getting almost the same order except, maybe, the spice levels are slightly different. The ramen is nothing exceptional. The vegetarian gyoza is extremely small with little taste. Service feels insincere. The space is run down and it does not feel clean. The furniture is old and adds to the uncaring feeling of the management/owners. read more

I went to Onoya Ramen in Honolulu because we were craving ramen and it did not disappoint. We got the tonkotsu tan tan men and oh man, the broth and chashu were so good, honestly 10 out of 5 stars. I ordered firm noodles with the rich broth and it was super flavorful with great texture. My wife got the Vegan Fire and it was surprisingly good, they really nailed the broth flavor. We added black garlic oil to both bowls and it elevated the taste even more. We also ordered the shishito peppers, 5/5, and tried the oolong high and green tea high shochu drinks, which were smooth and light, about 3/5 for us. Parking is very small and limited, especially when the restaurant gets busy, but the servers are nice, accommodating, and prompt with napkins and water refills. Would definitely go again when I'm back in Oahu for some late night eats. read more

Hotel dryer broke so we had to find a laundromat which we did and this place is right next-door. My wife and I have never been here before, looked it up here on Yelp and the food looked great! Greeted right when we walk in, guy says sit wherever you want! The place is clean and nice quiet ambiance. We tried the Karaage chicken, takoyaki and my wife had the chicken Katsu curry, and I had the Katsu curry. Everything was very delicious and their curry actually has meat in it. Most places we go is the curry with vegetables and no meat so we enjoyed it.. Definitely be back! read more

Nice ambience. Fast service. But! Ordered miso ramen and asked for extra green onions. The waitperson didn't say there'd be an extra charge. The green onion was just a little extra portion. Bill showed a $2 charge. What?! At least she should've told me and j wouldn't have ordered it., read more

Ono-ya Ramen is #95 on Yelp's Top Places To Eat List 2024. They offer a small parking lot with the other businesses there. It is a small restaurant with inside seating only. The restaurant's decor was modern and simple. They have two restrooms. Chicken Karaage (4/5) - served with yuzu mayo. Big chunks of thigh meat battered and deep-fried. Crunchy and super hot (temp). The yuzu mayo was so good! Tonkotsu Black: all natural pork Bone Broth, flavored with combination of their signature garlic oil topped with garlic chips. Toppings: seared pork belly char siu, beansprouts, kikuage, nori, seasoned egg, green onion (4/5). The broth was silky, creamy, and rich. The original noodles were thinner but still delicious. Added extra noodles. The service was polite and welcoming. All the waitstaff were helpful. read more

My one complaint is that if you have a waitlist then you should follow it. I was #1 on the list and standing by the door but the server approached another woman seated further in and proceeded to seat her (even tho her husband wasn't there-rule states all must be present to be seated). I heard her say she was on the waitlist but he never checked the tablet to see who was up next. Why bother with the waitlist if you're not going to use it? Especially on a busy day when they were offering BOGO. Everything else went well. The ramen hit the spot on a rainy day. The portion was kinda small. Perfect for me but probably not for a guy. I guess they expect you to order appetizers to fill you up. read more

I am finally back again and was very pleased with my experience similarly to my initial visit. They have a decent amount of parking in front so it made it pretty easy. It's a cozy and semi small spot *see image for reference*. Upon arriving, the waitress just told us to seat ourselves where ever and they will help us right away. Love their ramen and chicken katsu curry combo so that's what we ordered again. We also ordered the takoyaki as a side and it was a good amount of food to share between two people. After ordering, the food was brought out very quickly, like much quicker than expected but no complaints about that. - Chicken Katsu Curry: It seems like there is a smaller amount compared to the first time however it was just a delicious. - Tonkatsu Special: Very creamy and flavorful. Packed with protein as expected. For some reason the chicken they had inside was cold. I assume their meats are in a separate 'container' and they combine it to be served. I just feel that every thing should be hot within the ramen. - Takoyaki: It's a fried style takoyaki. Likely frozen and fried, but it curbed my craving so all is good! Beside the semi consistency/quality control issues, I will be definitely be coming back again for a decently affordable bite and they're open till 10 which is decently late. read more

After visiting the Byodo-In Temple on Monday, September 4, 2023, DJ and I searched yelp for places to have dinner. We found Ono-ya Ramen, a highly yelp-rated laid-back Japanese joint offering ramen and curry, plus vegan options. Once I saw their COMBO SETS in the menu, I was sold. We definitely had to go here and booked reservations via yelp for 7:30 PM. Located in a small strip mall, the parking lot offers limited spaces for automobiles. Even after waiting around for a car to free-up a space, we arrived at the restaurant about thirty minutes early for our reservation. As we walked up to the front door, there was a very noticeable stench that welcomed us. Thankfully, the odour stayed outside. Upon entry, customers are immediately at the tiny waiting area with seats for those awaiting their tables. The venue, made up of a single big dining room with a few small partitions, is about the size of a small to medium sized café with hardwood floors, black walls with signage, wooden tables and black chairs. The place looks a bit run down, but they keep all of the areas fairly clean. Below are what we ordered: VEGETABLE GYOZA ($6.50) - Five pieces came in this order. DJ enjoyed it. VEGAN BLACK ($15) - Yay for vegan bowls of this traditional Japanese noodle soup! DJ was very happy for his meatless meal. CHICKEN KATSU CURRY COMBO ($19.50 + additional charge for customization) - I switched out the SHOYU RAMEN for TONKOTSU TAN TAN MEN and replaced the pork belly char siu with ONOYA EGG and added nori. This is an awesome combination meal that I could not pass up. I love me some chicken katsu curry and this bowl did not disappoint. The ramen was also slurp-worthy with its slightly al dente noodles and creamy broth. The portions were very generous and I left with a happy and full tummy. Service was QUICK and accommodating. You know how we arrived about half an hour early? They seated us within minutes of our arrival. Ono-ya Ramen is a solid place for ramen and Japanese curry. Perhaps the locals have known this as the eatery was very busy on a Monday night, with a small crowd waiting outdoors. We will mos def return when we visit Oahu again. read more

Onoya Ramen has become one of my go-to spots, especially for lunch. Their lunch special is honestly one of the best deals around -- great portions, fast service, and consistently solid bowls. The Original Ramen is exactly what it should be: clean, balanced broth with depth, not too salty, and the noodles have the right chew. The TAN TAN is on another level -- rich, creamy, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. You can tell they pay attention to the seasoning. Their meat is always tender and well-marinated, not dry like you get at some places. It holds up well in the broth and adds a lot to the bowl. Overall, Onoya is easily one of my favorite ramen shops on the island. Great flavors, great value, and consistently well-made ramen. read more

Chose the place only because it was near my location and the fam was hungry and it was late in the day. Service: Put our name on the list (Party of 5) via Yelp stating our arrival time/# in party. As soon as we arrived, we were called within 5 minutes. Place was also packed at the time but their operations was efficient. Servers were attentive and pleasant during the ordering process and refilled our drinks without even asking. Food turnaround was fast too. 5 of 5 stars. Food: The family ordered the Tonkotsu Special, Classic with sides of karaage and calamari. The Special (which I had) was very flavorful, loved it! Feedback from my family was also positive. Karaage and calamari were great too. 5 of 5 stars Overall: Discovered due to proximity but sure glad we did. Parking is very limited so you might have to park near residential during busy days/times. Make a reservation ahead of time but be mindful to adhere to it as well. Will be back when in the area! read more

We came for a late night dinner after Halloween. I had this on my list to try so was happy to mark it off. We had about an hour before closing and there was only another couple in there. The place is small but not too small and there were about six workers total. Parking is same as Papa Johns and a laundromat. They have an extensive menu and what I really like is that they have vegan options. I am pescatarian but I appreciate the vegan menu. I ordered the vegan tan tan and it was absolutely delicious. It was very flavorful with lots of different textures. I wouldn't 100% order this again. The Mr had tonkatsu spicy miso and enjoyed it. He also enjoyed the gyoza and chicken karaage. Service was very good and attentive, but not sure if it was because we were one of the last ones there. There is a small parking lot that because we went around 9pm, had availability. read more

We came here twice on our 5 day trip because we couldn't stop thinking about it. The broth is so flavorful and not too oily and thick but also not watered down. Noodles were nothing special but still great! Chasu meat was soft and I loved it! The calamari didn't look as good as others i've seen but it was great! Staff was very kind and always checked in on us, the place is HOT inside though. Might be normal for locals but coming from a city with lots of snow and cold, I was dying in here haha, especially eating hot soup. Sitting next to the AC helped, and there are fans around the place but damn I was sweating more in here than outside in the sun. read more

I love a good ramen place! We had a reservation at 9pm on a Friday night, and it was pretty full even this late at night, so definitely recommend making one in advance. We ordered some karage, agedashi tofu, and fried shrimp. The karage pieces were big, but what was really good was the aioli it came with. The tofu and shrimp were decent, nothing amazing. What I really loved was their tonkatsu black ramen. Beware of the spice level! We got level 2, and that was moderately spicy. It goes up to 5. The broth was rich and garlicky, which I loved. The garlic crisps was a nice touch. My husband ordered the tonkatsu tan tan, and he agreed he liked the tonkatsu black better. The tan tan had sesame paste, but lacked that spicy kick in it. Coming from CA, I thought the pricing was more than fair, especially the appetizers. Ramen was solid, so definitely would recommend! read more

Onoya Ramen is my best ramen experience to date. Don't get me wrong, I am not the most experienced ramen judge, but based on everyplace I have been on the mainland, I rate this place above the rest! As I write this, I'm struggling with the fact that I can only get this in Hawaii. The staff was fun to order (and reorder) from and somehow we were able to be seated without any wait. Inside, you can hear everyone at neighboring tables talking about how much they're enjoying their ramen. Including my group. The Tankatsu Tan Tan Man was incredible. Every ingredient cooked to perfection and the the broth is next level. Pro tip: add the Tontoru Char Siu (I think it's a center cut pork belly) to upgrade your already excellent bowl of Ramen! read more

Onoya Ramen is conveniently located in the Kapahulu area near Zippys. It has a small parking lot in the front. I came here for lunch with some of my work friends. There are many, many different selections of Ramen just to suit about anybody, including shoyu, tonkatsu, black garlic, spicy, Yuzu, etc. They have a lunch special from 11 AM to 2 PM which includes your Ramen of choice +2 small sides (goyza, udon, chicken). Lunch specials run between 17 and $20, but are very filling. I had made a reservation for lunch, but they weren't that busy during lunch, and they accept walk-ins. We were promptly seated on arrival, we ordered, and our food came within 10 minutes. Service was very fast and friendly, and the Ramen was excellent. Definitely would return to try some other Ramen selections. read more
