Ordered the tan tan min and it was delicious the broth was not too spicy. A favorite for a lot of Japanese nationals. So u know it good. Reasonable prices and great service read more

I did takeout services here. Everything was quick, and the price was not too bad either. I ordered the garlic tonkastu. Still dreaming of it even now. If you're looking for good ramen, this is spot no doubt! I also ordered the chicken karage, and it was served with a side of sauce. Maybe ponzu? But the match was harmonious. Would highly recommend! read more

Great great place !!! Service is fantastic, they smile ,they act as if they really are happy to see you and attend to your wants and needs. Ramen was healthy with flavor and portions were of good size. Nothing to complain about at this place. Highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Amazing Ramen - the Tonkotsu broth is to die for. Will definitely make my way back here! read more

One of my favorite Ramen places to go. Service here was absolutely exceptional. Our waitress was energetic and friendly. Great ambiance here, trendy decor, and it's not too loud. It seems like a great place to have a date or family but rsvp because it's on the smaller side if 6 or more. read more

What a great little gem in the middle of Oahu. I really like that they have more off-the-beaten path types of dishes like beef tongue. Great meal. read more

The ramen dashi is always superior but we did not care for the "fat" noodles...but now the noodles have improved!!! We ate the entire contents of bowl and actually wished we could order oome (extra noodles)...especially love the tantanmen! read more

Wagaya - Happy hour! - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Easily one of my favorite ramen shops on Oahu. Their ramen is amazing. Plus the best dip ramen I've had here. Careful with the spice level medium had me sweating. I couldn't even imagine what crazy spicy would be like. Definitely give this place a try and don't be afraid to ask for saltier! read more

This is some of the best ramen I've had in Hawaii. They have a small menu, but everything is good. The garlic shiro ramen is the crowd favorite, and their tan tan is a must-try. You can control the spicyness and they have a lot of add-ons (at a reasonable price). My favorite thing about their ramen is definitely the soft boiled egg. Their noodles are always done perfectly and I've never had a bad experience with food or service. I'd come here every week. Summary Parking: it's cramped. Come early to avoid the hassle. Food: excellent if you love ramen. Their apps and desserts are also great! Service: it's a small staff, but they do a good job Take-out? They do take-out. Call them and place your order. They even separate the noodles from the broth for you. read more

Nice simple place near the McCully Library on mauka side of King Street in a small strip mall. The place is clean and friendly and the food was really great. I took the kids for lunch and had no trouble finding parking or getting a table. Service was fast and friendly. I had some trouble tying on a to go order to take home, but otherwise everything was excellent. I will go again and try some of the lunch combos. read more

Wagaya - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

3 likes and 2 dislikes for me. I LOVED their soft boiled egg - I think it's best in town. I liked their noodle, different good and the broth - tasty. :) I had their Wagaya Ramen (shiro) - FYI. Unfortunately, their gyoza was ok for me. My daughter ordered the Shoyu Curry Ramen. That one, I did not care for. I guess I just like a regular curry. :) read more

Wagaya - Wagaya Ramen (shiro) - Ramen Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is the best ramen I have ever had. Appetizer and dessert were great too. Customer service is outstanding.

Wagaya ramen- the egg, char siu, noodle are good, but the broth is just salty. If you order the noodle, you can get the lunch mini set for $4. The karaage don and gyoza are good. I wouldn't come back again, tho. The food is mediocre. read more

I finally got to try this place. A friend of mine took me here because she said they are a "little different" ramen restaurant. They open at 530 for dinner. We came in pretty early and waited outside the restaurant. There were a two large parties waiting outside when we came in. Luckily they open the door for us early and got seated before 530. I was really impressed on the service provided to us. The server took our order first before the two large party. I thought that was really nice of him to think about us--because it was only two of us and he said he want to get our order in first before the large parties. We got our appetizer-Agedashi Eggplant, in timely manner, and then our ramen. I had a vegetarian sort of a cold noddle-- I think it's called Wagaya Tsukemen. After we had Coffee jelly for our dessert. I must say it's really an adult dessert as the jello has a strong coffee flavor. Even if you add the condense milk that comes with it. It's still has strong coffee taste. With in the hour, the restaurant started to get. Since the restaurant is small, waiting for a table might be inevitable during rush hour. Btw, the bathroom is nice and clean. To end this, I enjoyed our dinner and will certainly come back to try other dishes, and of course my coffee jelly fix. read more

BEST RAMEN PLACE IN TOWN. I was so impressed with their vegetarian ramens (both the hot and cold). They're so flavorful! I think what stood out was that they season their vegetables very well In addition to the well seasoned broth. I was really impressed with the corn tempura. It tastes really good alone but even better with the ramen. According to my boyfriend, the prices are outstanding for the amount of meat that you get per dish. The only issue is parking, it's a small lot with few stalls shared with other businesses. Metered parking is usually limited and sometimes not the most pleasant walk. But that's an issue with every business on South King. I hope they open a secondary location! read more

Best ramen in Hi by far. Attentive service and excellent flavor. It's obviously new but the people in charge know what they're doing. I had the Tsukemen and the chaashu don. Both were excellent although the rice might have a little bit too much water. Would def recommend to all those searching for a great bowl of noodle on the islands and any of my friends and family. Aloha and mahalo! read more

I live in the SF Bay Area and good Ramen is as rare a as purple unicorn except in San Mateo where gets real close. But in Hawaii this is place is the best bar-none because the the chef is from one of those eponymous joints in San Mateo. So do yourself a favor while in Honolulu and you need an authentic Japanese ramen fix. Ask for Pearl she's the owner and will take care of you. read more

Authentic Japanese cuisine using the freshest Ingredients. Everything we tried was delish & we look forward to our next visit to continue exploring their menu! read more

Tasty ramen and helpful and friendly staff. We brought our 15 month old and she was welcome to wander in the area around the corner table we got. Price is right too! read more

The Wagaya ramen was very lacking in flavor and honest had a taste that reminded me of instant ramen flavor packets. Does not stand up to a lot of the great ramen options on the island. The gyoza was good and reminded me of my mothers dumplings. read more

First time here and surly not my last. From the start service was great. The waiter really made it easy to decided and really did great explaining the different parts of the menu. I thought it was awesome on the customizing part being able to pick the different type of style noodles. I got the first pick on the menu. First time here so tried it and loved it. Defiantly recommend this place for awesome ramen. read more

Wagaya is the best tasting ramen in Honolulu. I can't tell you what tastes best here, because everything I've ordered tastes delicious. I love their karaage chicken, which has a soft crunch on the outside and doesn't cut your mouth with hard batter. It comes with a very special sauce, and Wagaya will give you extra if you take the chicken home. The calamari is also very tasty. Everything is aesthetically pleasing. When you order your ramen, you can order extra noodles and specify the firmness of them. My husband and I go very early to ensure seating. At 1730 hrs, there is already a line-up and you have to sign-in. The a/c temperature is a tad warm in the restaurant but maybe, anything colder will mess up the temperature of the ramen. I'll just wear cooler clothing lol :p read more

I love this ramen place, wonderful service, best ramen I town for sure. I always get there tan tan or tsukemin and I am never disappointed. The gyoza is also to die for. read more

This place is probably my favorite ramen place on the island now. A lot of places either have only good ramen or good appetizers, but this place has both! Plus, it's not too expensive to break the bank. read more

First off I want to be clear that I'm a Ramen rookie, but I have found preferences to be extremely subjective. With that in mind I decided to give Wagaya a try last week. The waitress was very friendly and personable, as well as very helpful. I told I wanted a very thick broth base. She recommended theTonkatsu Tan Tan Men. I thought it was great! Thick flavorful, not too spicy or too salty. What I really was impressed with were the thick dark Ramen noodles, and I'm not a noodle person, but these were great. Everything was so good I decided to go back in today. Different waiter, but I took the same menu, pointed to and repeated the same order. I got it home and the noodles were completely different, white, thin, more like instant noodles. Worse yet, the broth was week. Very disappointed. I called and asked why the extreme difference. They said a mistake must have been made last week. I'm sorry, but a Ramen shop that can't get a basic Ramen order correct? I won't go back. read more

Ill keep this short, the food was decent, especially the Calamari sides but the service was horrible. We had this guy waiter with glasses serve us and he was rude as hell, the guy started walking alway from our table before I could finish my order and he was just generally very unpleasant and unprofessional. My friends and I felt like we were a nuisance to him or something. Service matters so they need to consider letting this guy go or remind him of the industry he is in and get him to shape up because other reviewers seem to have had negative encounters with him. read more

Awesomeness. First time eating there and the food is awesome. Good food, good service. The best tasting saimin I ever had

Came here twice. Like that you can choose saltiness of the broth and texture of the noodles. There is also options for extra noodles, which my husband enjoyed. I had the Wagaya tonkatsu ramen and it was just ok. I had dashi broth the first time and it was good. My husband had tan tan ramen and thought it was ok. We enjoyed the appetizers more than the ramen. We had: 1) daikon salad was good and refreshing 2) mochi potato was our favorite. it was so delicious! 3) beef tongue was ok There's a parking lot. Both times we came we got parking right away. Service was great all around the first time. However, the second time we were waited by a young tall guy and he was super rude. He threw our food on the table and didn't even put it in the center of the table. When we asked for something he didn't respond but did bring it over but of course slammed it on our table. We only asked him for something once but he seemed so angry and inpatient. He was rude from the beginning when he took our order. When asked for firm noodles he didn't respond, and just kept writing and then walked away abruptly. There were also two other young girls who waited our tables and were much much better. If we return and he continues to serve the same way we would definitely ask for another waiter. Hopefully, he was just having a bad day. Chefs were good though--food came out quick. Update: Returned this past weekend with husband. Had the Wagaya ramen (don't remember the name exactly but it was shoyu broth), daikon salad mochi potato and mochi ice cream. All were delicious. The previous waiter who was rude was not working that day and service was much better this time. read more

One of my three favorite ramen restaurants on the island. They are happy to tailor orders to customer's desire. Staff very friendly and attentive. Clean. I order my tonkotsu ramen with extra garlic and VERY spicy. They don't disappoint. My wife gets low sodium ramen. Their calamari and gyoza are very good too. Great place! read more

For me, the best ramen on the island. End of story. I like a little bit of heat, and they bring it to whatever level you want. Delicious!

Everything is amazing here! I decided to try the vegetarian ramen and absolutely LOVE it!!! It's so light but so flavorful and is now my top favorite ramen go-to on the island. I can't wait to go back and try all the appetizers... they all look so yummy. And the best way to end a delicious ramen meal is with their mochi ice cream with green tea and kinako mochi and 3 scoops of ice cream it is out of this world!!! read more

Wagaya ramen is a new ramen store located in the same center as Mama Woo's. There are a few reserved parking stalls, but if those are full there is an abundance of street parking on King St. Wagaya offers a decent amount of noodle offerings from the Wagaya ramen, tsukemen, and spicy umami. I ordered the Wagaya ramen and was not disappointed. The broth was very flavorful, the noodles were large and chewy, and the charsu meat was very tender. With all that said, the star of the show was the soft boiled egg. It was so flavorful and yummy and it reminded of the soft boiled eggs I had in Japan. The one item that I was really disappointed in was the gyoza. The pork filling had a strange taste and the outside skin had a weird texture...I should have just ordered another egg haha. Overall, I was very pleased with Wagaya Ramen. Really well tasting ramen and the egg was oh so good. For being a new store, everything ran really smoothly. I would go back to try the spicy umami ramen! read more

Move over, Agu Ramen -- I found a cheaper, just as yummy, just as good quality, clean, great service ramen shop!! My husband and I wanted ramen on a Friday night. We knew that everywhere we were familiar with would be PACKED on a Friday night. We looked through yelp for another place to get ramen and came across WAGAYA. We also had back ups if WAGAYA happened to be crowded because that's what we expected. When we got to the parking lot, it was full but one turn around the lot and three parking spots opened. There wasn't too much street parking either, but I guess we got lucky. We walked in to WAGAYA and to our surprise, there were still many tables open! We were greeted friendly and given the choice to sit down wherever we wanted. As we got seated, then the influx of the crowd came in. Soon all tables were filled. I went through the menu. Such great choices. I love how you can choose whether or not you want spicy from a level 1 to level 3. I chose level 1 and it was just right. The server also was knowledgeable and explaining the levels of spiciness that I was able to make my decision. My husband got the ship broth ramen and I got the WAGAYA Garlic ramen, level 1 spicyness. Our ramen came out reasonably fast. Their char siu is soft. Right amount of green onions... and oh that garlic broth. So so flavorful. Along with choosing if you want spicyness to your ramen, you can choose thinner noodles, salty broth, etc!! I didn't know we could choose it until after ordering so when we go back, I'll probably try customizing my order! We got to chit chat with the owner too. She's on the floor too serving. I love it. She has great help and awesome friendly servers, but she is just as pleasant herself. She explained that she had opened it for a year already. How did we not hear about her? I wish we had. Her prices are so reasonable. For $50, we ordered 2 bowls of ramen, 3 orders of gyoza, and 2 sides. For $50 at agu ramen, we ordered 2 ramens, and 2 orders of gyoza. We can enjoy more food, the crowd is less, the service is more personal here at wagaya. I'll be coming here for all my frequent ramen cravings. read more

I would travel back to Hawaii from the East Coast for this ramen. So delicious!! The check in process was great - I loved not having to wait for a person to greet us in order to take our names; we signed up for a table on a kiosk and then received a text when it was time to eat! read more
