Last one before they close on Sunday 4/20/2025…read more Although Miyoshi Ramen isn't one of those higher end Ramen shops, or even the most authentic, they have remained my favorite Ramen spot for over the last 10+ years! My husband, family members, and friends have had many, many memories coming here for years! We've always had our favorites!! My all time favorite dish here: Tan Tan Ramen with extra egg! The service here is always fast and friendly! The same person, always there taking our orders and putting up with out craziness. He even knew our orders by heart at one point when we all still lived in Kailua, and stopped in once or twice a week! We're sad that one of our favorite spots are closing, but we'll always be able to remember the memories we've made coming here to Miyoshi Ramen!

My favorite thing to eat here is their yakisoba. I usually get it with pork or chicken but tried…read morethe seafood this time. It was delicious. Their sauce is just perfect and the vegetables (cabbage, carrots) stir fried to the exact doneness leaving a crunch but wilted enough. You can place your order on their website for pick up or delivery. I did pick up and it gave me an estimate of when my order would be ready. I was updated through the process and when my order was ready via text. https://miyoshiramenkailua.com/ If you decide to eat there. Small quaint restaurant with about six tables.

It's never been too busy when I've gone since it's always midday, after lunch and before dinner. The service is quick and I've never had to wait long at all to get my food. I usually get the Katsu Curry, in which the portions are big and the chicken katsu always stays crispy.

The cleanliness at this restaurant is very poor. The moment my family and I walked in, we were hit…read morewith a strong urine smell. There were fly traps hanging from the ceiling, which was quite unpleasant to see while trying to eat. Strangely, the staff was mopping the floor right next to occupied tables during a busy late-night rush. The menus also smelled like a dirty bathroom; I couldn't hold mine for more than a minute without gagging. While the staff was quick and the food came out fast, the kitchen was disorganized. They forgot our miso soup and brought out edamame instead of the menma (bamboo shoots) we ordered. We had the gomoku ramen, spicy beef ramen, gyoza, lemon tea, a side of menma, and shrimp tempura udon. The gyoza and lemon tea were delicious, but they couldn't outweigh the negatives. According to my family, two out of the three soups tasted like dish soap. We were too exhausted after work to send them back, but it was honestly gross. To top it off, the single-stall unisex bathroom had that same foul odor. I wouldn't recommend Daiichi Ramen. Serving 'dish soap soup' is unacceptable in food service. You're better off heading to the nearby Burger King or Safeway for late-night eats.

Made to order ramen in the middle of the mall?! Yes, please!…read more We've been to the Kaimuki location numerous times but we had no idea they had a location in the middle of the Windward Mall food court. This is one of my husband's favorite ramen shops on Oahu so of course he had to get it! The menu was pretty extensive for a little kiosk but my husband got his tried and true Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen. It came with a soft boiled egg, tons of garlic, a thick piece of pork, green onions, and nori. Service was quick and your ramen comes on a tray. There was tons of seating right in front. There was also a sign stating they do offer takeout as well. But, I think it's best to eat there! Overall, such a convenient and quick quality meal when you need a break from shopping.

I needed something to eat and caffeine, and searching on Yelp, I found them. I didn't know you could enter from the back, but a friendly good morning when I came in. They have a lot to choose from! I got a plain croissant and a red velvet croissant. This was really unique in flavor and texture! Definitely something to consider if you stop in. I also ordered Jeanne's Fav, vanilla, lavender latte, iced. This was really good! Great way to start my morning! There's some chairs and coffee tables in the back parking lot which would be great to hang out in, especially if it's raining. The interior seating is eclectic and I loved the music playing. Great place to come to! Mahalo Cafe Kopi!

But I did get the coffee and I did enjoy my coffee. It was a vanilla lavender one. It was a bit pricey but also really good. The coffee flavor was nice. Next time I'm in the area I'll get a pastry and I definitely want to try their homemade chai

They now have a location in the Kailua Shopping Center where Taqueria El Gallo Rosa ( my favorite taco spot, alas, both Kailua and Ward Centre spots have closed ) used to occupy. I tried the Garlic Ramen with thick noodles - futomen - for an additional cost. Rich, creamy, and garlicky...very good. It is served with the usual accoutrements. I ordered online and my ramen was in a bag when I arrived just a minute early. I forgot to request utensils...something to keep in mind for the next occasion. I've only ate takeout from their Kapolei locale - and when I was still a vegetarian. Their vegan ramen is also excellent. Hours are 1100a to 900p daily. Plenty of stalls in the shopping center. There is a nice outside patio for outside dining.

I ordered the volcano garlic ramen as extra punishment to the floating pork and sunken noodles. Something about a dreary day will always elevate my rating of hot soups, ramens, and curries. The ramen was flavorful but wish I had made a custom bowl because the bowl felt a bit light on toppings. Lastly, what in the name of capitalism is charging more for spicier food? As you increase from spicy level 1 to 4 you incur an additional charge each level topping out at $2.00. Will you weigh the salt and pepper shakers afterwards too?

I thought tge kim chee was a good level if heat, but my friend could only eat 1 piece. We both ate a little more than half of everything & took home leftovers. I am not a fan if katsu (chicken or pork) because it tends to be oily, but I took a chance & so glad I did! Ayame's chicken katsu was not oily & it was crispy/crunchy. I also don't like katsu sauce (don't judge), so I ate it w/the gyoza dipping sauce I made & I was happy! I would like to try their curry & ramen on future trips. And I just saw, they have mapo tofu curry! That sounds interesting! One of my friend's roommate always gets the pineapple chicken katsu fried rice. I need to try that, too! See... many future trips! Sorry, I didn't think of taking a picture or making a review. The owners are very nice & attentive! It's close to the satellite city hall at Windward City Shopping Center, more towards McD's.

The staff were very courteous and efficient. They have 10 different broths to choose from. My hubby suggested the Canh Chua $10.99. It's a Vietnamese sweet and sour soup made from chicken broth. It's sweetened with pineapple, tomato and taro stem; then garnished with spring onion and Thai basil. The selection of food is on colored coated plates: $3.89 for green, $4.89 for yellow, $5.89 for red, $6.89 for blue and $10.89 for black. Most of the meat and seafood plates are $6.89. Most of the noodles and veggies plates are $4.89. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the broth. Holy smokes, I eat a lot of hot pot and it was one of the best I've ever tasted. I couldn't stop drinking it. My hubby told me to stop or we weren't going to have any broth to cook the food in. Luckily, the staff told us if we needed more broth that it was refillable. We got ribeye, brisket, shrimp, udon, pumpkin, quail eggs and tobiko ball. Everything was fresh. The shrimp with head was huge. My favorite was the tobiko ball. I just love that, tobiko in fishcake. The sauce bar was good. Any outstanding hot pot place needs a good sauce bar. The first sauce I mixed was black bean with house special and cilantro. The second was miso with ginger and sesame with cilantro. They were both delicious. I don't think you can go wrong mixing any of the sauces. We got a stamp card after we paid our bill. After buying six broths you get the seventh free.
