    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mochiko chicken, sub white rice for fried rice to share (-:

    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!

    Chicken katsu with fried rice
    Todd M.

    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.

    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!

My daughter and I like to order the Shiro Wagaya Ramen and my husband loves the Garlic Wagaya (Kuro) ramen. We also like to order the corn tempura as an appetizer. The restaurant itself is not so big but fits quite a good amount of people. The workers are very friendly and accommodating. You can also order your food through a QR code and pay online when you're done. There are also restrooms onsite. Parking is still small and can fill up when it's busy (you also aren't allowed to park in the Church parking lot) If you haven't eaten here before, I would suggest looking on their website at the waitlist to see how many people are on there prior to going there as they can get really busy. You can also put your name on the waitlist online so you don't have to do it on site. They have a really good text messaging system letting you know when your table is almost ready.

    Great for authentic ramen and tsukamen with a small, the intimate ramen shop appeal. I've seen…read moreWagaya on TikTok a lot recently and was happy that I put this on my list of places to visit while on the island. The appetizers were pretty good. I enjoyed the sweet and savory flavor of the agedashi tofu but was a little underwhelmed with the ahi belly. I was excepting a slightly fattier cut of fish and wasn't anticipating onion on the skewer and felt it didn't pair well with the fish (personally). I'll definitely be back!

Place was extremely clean and comfortable. Service came around with water and gave us a minute to look over the menus.

We paid $12 for two gyozas which I'm fairly certain are sending us on our way to food poisoning. I cannot even describe the taste, but it was fishy and extremely bad way.

I can totally understand that but seriously we ordered a brisket sandwich as well as a Bento box on top of the appetizers none of which were particularly satisfying flavor bowl or tasty in anyway in fact quite a bit of it tasted by old. That's just the food. The service was just fine. Now we were waited on in a timely manner, and the waitress was quite friendly. The place seemed funky in a cool way but its aesthetic was sorted rounded out by a certain level of dust and filth that was across the entire restaurant on our visit. Don't even bother using the restroom which was coated and I am not even sure what. Seriously, I've not been moved to make a review of many places in my travels. This was one I felt I should give a heads up on because my experience differed so greatly from the popular opinion on yelp.

The most impressive part of the night was the reaction from my two daughters. They are typically very picky eaters, but they completely devoured the Tokyo Chicken ramen.

The broth was remarkably rich and packed with complex flavors, while the chashu was a savory burst in every single bite. I live right near Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and have very high standards for what makes a good bowl of ramen, so I was honestly blown away by the quality here. The kids were so into the food that we even decided to grab an order of chicken karaage to go. The service was exceptionally attentive and the staff went out of their way to ensure our family had everything we needed. The ambiance was also fantastic and added to the overall experience.
