    I wanted to eat ramen, so being in the area Ramen Ya was my choice. Let's start at the entrance .From the parking lot my wife notice that there was a sign that said closed. Also a sign that said open. ??? We checked the opening times on Yelp and Google. While we were searching three big bradahs approached the entrance but didn't go in. A minute later they entered the establishment . I told my let's go their open. Upon entry we were greeted and told to sit at any open table. Water and menus soon followed.. Our server was pleasant and check on us frequently. So 5 stars for service. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. This was Disappointing. I didn't care for the broth. And the egg was hard boiled. For a Japanese restaurant very sad. Enjoy

    Mini ramen

    Taste and quality is good, the only thing is that they give a lot of rice in the plate. If you get a ramen set, it's basically 2 meals and everything tastes good.

    Terrible mini curry gyoza
    Dean H.

    The combo A - mini gyoza Curry and shoyu ramen was terrible. Don't get that unless you want to be disappointed. The rice was mushy and it was a small scoop of curry. It was also put together when it was a takeout order. This is ok but as u can see the rice absorbed the curry. See picture. The shoyu ramen was just ok. The mabo tofu was ok for generic mabo tofu but again it was just ok. At least the rice was ok and they packed the mapo separate. They included a 4 piece gyoza which was mushy and very soggy. Bad. What was the kicker for me , was that they charged $33 for both orders. I am not an alien that just landed in Hawaii so I know they gotta charge what they charge but for the quality they serve that is theft. We rarely go to "generic" ramen places but we decided to go cause my wife wasn't feeling well and wanted udon or ramen. Big mistake. We have avoided this particular place for 4 years while we lived close by. For some reason we decided to give this place a chance. To be fair, I have had food from other ramen ya and it wasn't nearly as bad as this. We will not return, ever.

    10/10 I love going to Ramen-Ya and this time was no different. My friend and I were feeling a bit under the weather and decided some soup was the way to go. I got the egg soup and a green tea, she got fried rice and miso soup. It hit the spot as it always does. I get something different every time I come and it never disappoints. The servers are always so kind and fast at getting to you and never make you feel forgotten or crowded. The ambiance is cozy, it's cold but the soup will warm you right up.

    Family friendly restaurant, great for picky eaters too! Kids love anything crispy and fried rice. We were seated right away, wasn't too busy around 7pm. Waiter checked on us often for refills or needed anything. Food and service was great!

    I got the meal deal for $19, which included the gyoza, a bowl of ramen and the chicken katsu curry. I was quite impressed with the quantity of food.

    Go hungry! They give you so much food! Fast service and very attentive. I'm always satisfied every time I eat here.

    Ramen--Ya is a solid affordable, super large portions, with quick service restaurant/takeout place. The food is delicious and comes out quickly, and definitely appeals to the hungry military and working class population in the area. The shop itself is small and the parking spaces are tiny, but the turnover is quite quick. We love the black garlic ramen, seafood ramen, gyoza and Mapo tofu, but have also tried their rice dishes and curries. Heads up, it is $0.60 for a takeout container, but unless you're as ravenous as my grandfather is, you'll probably need it.

    Dropped the chicken on the ground, and put it in with the other cut chicken in the container with "extra seasoning".
    Cora J.

    Service was okay. But for the food, I would probably rethink of eating anything that has chicken for a while from this place or maybe not eat here at all. So we seen them cutting the raw chicken, and I really thought to myself, what would they do if one piece dropped? Well we watched once piece of raw chicken dropped on the floor and it went straight into the CONTAINER of cut chicken!!! No, didn't rinse with water, just straight from the floor to that food container!!! I guess there was extra seasoning! Couldn't even throw one piece of chicken that fell on the ground in the trash. There's no video, cause it was caught off guard, and as soon as it dropped she picked it up and put it into the container with the other cut raw chicken.

    Combo Set A ( this is the side: chicken katsu curry, sub white rice for fried rice)
    Kevin B.

    Seated immediately, wasn't too busy especially on a Sunday. * they have happy hour for goyza, they just don't have a sign anymore, but ask to confirm!" Ordered combo set A with chicken katsu curry, fried rice to share with the kids. Tonkatsu was good, broth is rich!

    Shrimp tempura curry rice tho
    Samantha D.

    I called in an order for pick up at 10:30, food was done and ready for me when I arrived shortly after 10:45. Staff was friendly and quick! Tempura shrimp curry over rice - great flavor, large portion. My only complaint is the rice to curry ratio was really off. I was given about 5 scoops of rice (filled the entire base of a large takeout container) and maybe one scoop of curry on top. I was full off of the top layer of curry rice tho! Tonkatsu ramen- can never go wrong with this one, the broth is flavorful and delicious Shumai- OMG SO GOOD They were perfectly cooked, with a zesty kind of tartar sauce aioli. In love with these.

    To-go Ramen with the combo!
    Madison G.

    I can't believe that this meal was less than 20 bucks!! (Or $20 with a to-go tip!) The food was very good, it took less than 10 min from the time I ordered until they had my food ready, and I'm so satisfied! Easy, fast and yummy!

    Russ L.

    Mother Queen wanted Ramen but she doesn't fell like driving during rush hour. Ramen Ya is convenient for us, just a short drive. The staff here are warm and friendly. They prices here are reasonable especially the combo set. The Ramen is not the best I've had, but it's satisfying. Clean and organized dining area. Also plenty of parking.

    Fried oyster! Yum!

The sauce to dip the noodles in was good. It was flavorful, salty, and sweet. My wife had a bowl of ramen. I got to try the soup and it tasted really good. I also like how thick it was. I don't like thin soup on my ramen, so this I really liked. My daughter was gulping down her noodles... just shoving it into her mouth. That is a huge thing for me because she's picky with food. We also had the potato mochi. I also liked that one. It had good texture, crunch, and chew. It was brushed with a glaze. The flavor was good. I'm not a chicken karaage guy. But I'm mentioning it because we ordered it. The chicken karaage were good chunks of chicken. Not like other places who give small chunks. My wife liked it because it had more chicken than batter. 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 able to watch them make the noodles in the back, combined with the incredible smell throughout the restaurant, made the whole experience even better.

I was able to get in my order immediately. I had ordered kitsune udon with gyoza and tempura shrimp sides. The total is around $16 for anyone who is wondering what price to expect. The quality of the food has been consistent. It's a bit warm inside, but you'll find some good table areas that are cooler. I was disappointed by the service today, especially because there was less people between 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM when I went. The staff had automatically thrown in green onions and tempura flakes, which was not requested. They were just throwing in things without the usual ask they do. Especially, this hurt most when there was a rude lady staff passing out toppings. My family member had kindly requested for green onions a few times, and mind you again, we did not have a line when we entered in, but this lady snickered and ignored her request. I had to sternly request for green onions which eventually happened. The service should not be this way. This is an amazing restaurant, but the experience was utterly ruined from that service experience.

They are currently exploring a new concept, which is a bit different from what it used to be. There's quite a bit of items missing from their old menu, but they have included new dishes to try. I got their Beefy Gold which has a lighter broth. I also ordered a side of yuzu peel & juice, reminiscent of the yuzu shio ramen. I'd say that the broth is pretty good (light broth is gentle to the stomach), and the noodles were cooked well. You'll probably miss the fatty chunk of charsiu, but they now have pulled beef charsiu instead which is stringy and just as flavorful :) Service was friendly as always and they were very attentive to our needs. Ambiance is a bit more upscale than their previous Ward location, and definitely larger. Will come back again to try their Otoko-Meshi items, overall just glad that they're back!

The open kitchen concept is nice, the restaurant feels much larger, and overall the new location is more inviting than the old one. Unfortunately, the food and menu changes were a big disappointment for me. The old location had a much larger menu with plenty of ramen options, while the new menu is limited to just three choices. The ramen itself doesn't taste the same, and even the noodles seem different. The biggest letdown was the chashu--it used to be served as a whole slice of pork, but now it's more of a shredded meat style that lacks the same appeal and texture. Adding to that, the new location currently doesn't have a liquor license, which takes away part of the dining experience. While the new space is beautiful, I left missing the food and variety that made Kamitoku one of my favorite ramen spots. Hopefully they'll bring back more of what made the original location special.

We had the duck tacos, plus the special dim sum appetizer combo of pork belly bao, lobster dumplings and oxtail dumplings. We could not pick a favorite.

Overall, what had been something we'd been looking forward to for years turned out to be a dismal disappointment. The experience left us feeling unwelcome, particularly because it seemed the staff were uncomfortable with two men simply going out for lunch. 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.
