Ramen Bario

A gem. We were lucky to stumble upon this little ramen spot in Waikiki. Some of the best we've had. The tsukamen was unforgettable and the subzero temperature beer was perfection. We will certainly be making it a point to visit the next time we are back. Looks like this location is now closed. :( Now its a mission to make it to their other location!!

Discovered this Japanese Food Court at Waikiki yesterday, and I was walking around observing the texture of the ramen noodles and this place convinced me. The three things that I am extremely picky about are (A.) dumplings (B.) ramen and (C.) sponge cakes. So you know when I say it's good, it should be pretty reliable. First of all, the noodles did not disappoint. It didn't taste like the package noodles, but rather the hand pulled ones. Because of the thickness, it kinda reminds me of the Northern hand pulled noodles. I ordered the cold noodles because of the weather and also cause the noodle wouldn't get soggy so quickly. The broth is a bit tangy than I like but it's perfect for this heat. It's less filling that way. Finally, the pork was flavorful and tender. Overall, I think this bowl of ramen is better than any ramen I had in Tokyo. I will try the traditional broth ramen next time when I return to Hawaii. . P.S. be prepared to drink a gallon of water afterward. It WILL make you super thirsty after. price: $15 USD (CASH ONLY) taste: 3.8 / 5 atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ seating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Price Performance ratio: 3.8 / 5

I was in Hawaii for a week and went to this place twice so that should say alot. I got their egg tsukemen both times. Their noodles are the exact thickness and chewiness I like. I've had better soft boiled eggs but that's being really picky. Overall, if you've never had tsukemen, great place to start!

Stopped by for lunch and was amazed at how much I liked the broth. Had the special with char sui and egg. The instructions state to try the broth and then add garlic and hot sauce. I ended up adding a spoon of each 3x. It made the broth super delicious. Noodles are thick and firm. Very enjoyable texture and taste. Lots of char siu. Would definitely recommend this place and I will be back for more delicious ramen! Note that the place is Cash Only.

Very good ramen, the broth is delicious. Personally the noodles were too thick for my liking but they were still VERY good and very fresh. The pork melted like butter in my mouth. Definitely add a few scoops of the chili powder and garlic that is provided, it’s actually recommended. Kenny took care of me and he was super nice. I came in pretty close to closing and the service as well as the food did not show that at all. Very happy!
