    Had my fix of Mapo Tofu Ramen at Sumo Ramen. First time at this location. It's located in the Market City Shopping center lower level. Between L & L and Mezzo. Parking was a breeze. Service was friendly. Although behind the counter chat levels were a bit high at times from the workers. We were seated at a table for two. I did notice that there was a table which could accommodate a party of six. My Ramen was not overly hot. Good taste and served piping hot.The silky tofu used broke apart while eating. This left a lot of Tofu bits in the broth when I finished eating. Enjoy

    Today I got to try the Spicy Seafood Ramen Combo and was very tasty. Also, the service was friendly and helpful.

    Decided to come here since the one at Kamehameha Shopping Center closed. This place is next to Ben Franklin and L&L, back side of Market City Mall, across of Kaimuki High School. Small space inside, 3 tables that seats 2 and 2 bigger tables in the back, that can probably seat 6-8 people. My husband and I always get the same items, curry udon and gyoza. Pretty much tastes the same as the one at Kamehameha Shopping center, the only difference is their curry udon did have small bits of garlic in the soup, which we didn't like. But overall, the curry udon and gyoza were good, along with the service. There is a restroom, but it's upstairs and you need a code. Amole parking, but if you the area, it can get pretty packed.

    My husband wanted to eat ramen for lunch so decided to go to this place at the market city market place by Ben Franklin and Mezzo downstairs from Donut king and foodland. They open at 11am walked in and the server sat us right away notice alot of takeout out orders on the table. I didn't want to eat curry rice like I always ordered so went with shrimp tempura udon. The broth was light and just right. The tempura was pre- fab so I decided to put in the broth to soften it up. Came out pretty good. The udon noodles was chewy but that's udon noodles always. My husband went with he's favorite mabo tofu ramen. He said was good and looks plentiful I told him. Ask if they have a restroom but the server said sorry have to go upstairs in the hallway. I told myself not for me. I'll wait. All in all it was ok.

    The 87. Shoyu Ramen Combo
    LAUREEN C.

    Haven't been to a Sumo Ramen restaurant in ages since they don't have one in Aiea or Pearl City. Always liked their menu ... We walked in and were greeted right away. I like that ! Many selections on the menu .. took us awhile to finally order. There's something for everyone.. whether you like ramen. ... udon ... crispy noodle ... curry ... spicy or not .. seafood or just vegetables in your noodles . Finally decided on the Ramen combo .. which included bowl of shoyu ramen. ... delicious fried rice and four piece gyoza . My friend also ordered Unagi rice .. shoyu ramen & gyoza combo . It was nice that we could eat and chat as it wasn't really busy on a Monday . Not a real big restaurant but nice and clean atmosphere to sit down with friends for lunch . And the service was very good as the owner came by often to check on us if everything was good or if we needed anything like more water etc. would definitely come back again for their ramen and specially the Fried rice.. It was simple but very satisfying and tasty .

    Mochiko Chicken Curry Combo

    Sumo Ramen & Curry is located on the ground level of Market City Shopping Center between L&L Hawaiian Barbecue and Fujioka's Wine Times. You can dine in or get take out. I recommend calling in your take out order. It's been a long time since I ate here but one night I was craving curry but was super tired to drive far. My first choice to order take out from was unavailable. I called multiple times but the line was always busy. Hunger set in so I decided to go to Sumo Ramen & Curry. It didn't take me long to decide. I wanted curry so I immediately looked at the Curry Rice menu section. Since I couldn't remember much about my last dining experience here, I felt that ordering from the Curry Combo section was safest since it offered variety just in case I didn't like what I ordered. I decided to order their Mochiko Chicken Curry Combo. Called it in and they told me it'll be ready in 10 minutes. When I arrived about 10 minutes later, I was surprised by how busy they were. The table in front and counter was filled with take out orders. They also had a ton of people dining in. My order was ready so I paid and left. Their Mochiko Chicken Curry Combo comes with Mochiko Chicken Curry over rice, Gyoza and a bowl of Ramen/Saimin. It reminded me more of Saimin than Ramen. The portion was adequate and I was full. For some reason, I feel like this was the exact same order I ate the last time I came here lol. It was something quick and easy but I'm happy to see how busy they are. Much continued success for them!

    Had lunch today at Sumo Ramen & Curry located on the backside of Mccully shopping center . Next door to L&L and Ben Franklin. I ordered their ramen , fried rice , Gyoza combo. I added deep fried Oyster for appetizers. Service was fast and friendly the Deep fried oyster was nice and hot and fresh . The won ton ramen was also very good with Gyoza can't go wrong along with fried rice . It was perfect I left with a full stomach and like us locals call it "Kanak Attack" Support local

    I haven't had their ramen in a long time. Usually I don't trust places like this for ramen. It has to be a legit ramen spot. However, I will vouch for their mochiko chicken and curry with white rice $12.50. The curry from here is always on point. The yellow curry is thick and flavorful. The mochiko chicken has a slight crisp. There's a hint of sweetness to it from the batter. It's one of the best mochiko chickens that I've had. They also give a lot of chicken and white rice. The plate was filled and heavy. It would have lasted me three meals.

    Chicken katsu with sauce container

    First time ordering chicken katsu to go here. First, they give a decent amount of katsu. But the amount of sauce is ridiculously small. It's maybe a 2oz cup that's maybe 3/4 full. Just enough to dip one end of each katsu stick with a slight coating. That wouldn't be so bad if the katsu were actually seasoned but it's kinda bland so you NEED the sauce. I'm really disappointed. It'll be my first and last visit.

    wonton ramen- thumbs up
    Robert S.

    Stopped here for lunch because was shopping next door at Ben Franklin. Such a big and diverse menu but just ordered the won ton ramen. Service was quick and friendly. The noodles were nice and chewy and the broth not too salty. The wontons could have used more meat in them but was okay. I saw the server walk by with the seafood crispy noodles and looked amazing. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely return.

    Won ramen and fried rice
    Serena M.

    We came here with my parents a few weekends ago after a bon dance. It was my first time in a long time. My parents love it here at Sumo Ramen. And I can see why. The meals are pretty cheap and you get a lot of food when you order combination meals. Five out of six of us ordered combination meals. The combination meals came with ramen, fried rice, and gyoza and it was around $15! What a steal. I once went to a ramen place where just the ramen was $25. The service was right on and they came quickly to take our order and fill our waters. I ordered the won ton ramen combination. I thought the ramen was okay. I've had better tasting won ton and ramen at other places. But I liked the fried rice that came with the combination. They make the rice with peas and carrots but since my dad is a regular, he ordered it without peas and carrots. I followed his lead and did the same. I just don't think peas and carrots belong in fried rice. The rice was good. I think it was the best part of the combination meal. If you're in the neighborhood go and check out Sumo Ramen. You will be able to stretch your dollar since it's so affordable.

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.

Their noodles are made in-house (following authentic Sanuki traditions from Japan) and cooked daily. Customers order their noodles at the counter, pick their tempura from a self-serve station, and pay at the end. What's even more impressive- patrons can watch the chefs make the food right in front of them (making for a cool dining experience). Highly recommend getting there early- lines are insane! But for the most part, the line moves fast because meals are dished out quickly and guests eat and leave in a timely manner. And prices are relatively low compared to other places. I ordered the #2 Creamy Broth- creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg 10/10! This was absolute fire!!! My wife ordered the Chicken Katsu- lightly battered, well seasoned and packed with flavor. We also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura and Potato Croquettes. Both were equally delicious, but the potato croquettes hit the spot with a well seasoned potato mash, encased in a golden deep fried breadcrumb 10/10! It's an absolute must!

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!

They their own take on the oxtail soup and they have garlic rice plate dishes as well. I came in for the usual ramen during thei soft opening. They used to have a wide variety of ramen flavors but now reduced to 3 ramen flavors. I used to be big fan of the spicy which I'll miss but seabura and the beefy wild is good. I ended up getting the beefy wild. The taste a d presentation of the ramen has changed too. The ramen noodles if I remember correctly were a little thicker but I dont know if its been a while but it does feel thinner which i do actually prefer it that way. They removed some toppings, notably bean sprouts from the ramen. Not really fan of bean sprouts so not a big change I'll miss. The beef char siu was still flavorful as ever, but instead of it being a big chunk of meat it was presented shredded in the ramen. Service was fast and attentive and gad an overall good time. Would come again to try their other stuff on the menu. It was a soft opening, but I hope they add more ramen flavors variety like the spicy ramen, and bring back the way they used to have their char siu as I preferred to take a big bite out of the juicy beef in my bowl.

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.
