I went on a Saturday afternoon and walked by. My first time at this place. There was no wait, the staff is friendly and the food was good. I went with a seafood soup and was not disappointed. The ramen had a portion size and the noodles were not included in the weight, and they had a wide variety of items to choose from. The free shaved ice at the end was delicious and surprisingly large & diverse. I will be back.

The free shaved ice at the end was delicious and surprisingly large & diverse. The ramen was big portions – the noodles are not included in the weight, and the items were diverse. The soups were also tasty – I got the herbal one and it tasted nourishing (homemade taste). Pleasantly surprised at the value of this meal, especially considering the quality of the shaved ice and noodles.

I cannot believe it took me over SEVEN years on island to finally eat here—like, how did I miss this?! This spot in Aiea is a total hidden gem and exactly what I’ve been craving ever since my trip to Singapore. It’s similar to mala tang in that you get to pick your own veggies, meats, seafood, etc. to build your soup. The broth options are a little different though—no mouth-numbing mala like you’d find at YGF Mala Tang—but honestly, I didn’t mind one bit.
The spicy pumpkin soup base was perfection: creamy, flavorful, with just the right kick. It didn’t overwhelm my palate or leave me feeling heavy, and it tasted cleaner (less oily) than other broths I’ve tried. If you’re into creamy soups, the pumpkin base is a must-try!
Service was solid too. They refilled my water without me asking and even let me choose my seat (I was the first customer before the evening rush lol). The space was roomy, spotless, and you can tell it’s a true mom-and-pop operation—genuine care for both the food and the customers.
I’m already planning to come back this week because I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin soup.
Oh, and if soup isn’t your thing (or if Hawaii’s heat has you craving something else), they’ve got chicken katsu with curry, stir fry, and other specialty dishes too.
VISIT. Seriously.

Look, this little place is perfectly unassuming and tucked in one of the MANY strip malls of Hawaii, so does that lend itself to some romantic atmosphere and upscale dining: No. But does it need to be?? No! This cute little place has parking and it’s quiet and has the BEST DANG RAMEN! Sorry to yell about it(because they may get crazy busy when everyone finds out) but OMG, it’s delicious! Incredibly kind staff and it’s clean and a ton of food (yum, leftovers). Just go already!

Quick service and very tasty broth. We came here a few time during dinner. Even though the restaurant was packed, our food came out quickly. I even brought my parents here and they both enjoyed the meal. You select your own ingredients, broth, and noodle and they cooked it for you. My favorite broth were tonkotsu broth and pumpkin broth.

We had a great experience building our own bowls. I choose a spicy soup and my husband choose the herbal soup. Along with the soup bowls they gave us on the house shave ice. The shaved ice is way better than north shore shaved ice. After having north shore shave ice we want to go back to this store to get their shaves ice. Along with the great food and service this place was very clean. We visit this place every year.

I randomly decided to try out this place and I got the Garlic Chicken plate. The chicken was cooked very well and the service was super fast (I was there at 9 PM). From walking in the ambiance was honestly not there. I feel like if this place had a good feel when you walked in, it could be top tier. I would’ve given it 4.5 stars if it was possible because it was missing just a little bit of flavor, but I understand that it is primarily a ramen restaurant. I will definitely try it again!

It’s been a long time since we had come here (since pre-COVID), and am happy to say the food is still delicious!
Service was fast and efficient, all the choices of food to select for your bowl looked fresh and was organized well. I got the spicy sour soup which was pretty tasty.
Dinner ended with the shave ice which nicely balanced the palate at the end of the meal. Definitely worth coming here if you’re in the mood for some build your own soup!

Well. I’ve found my new comfort food restaurant in Aiea. Like I’ve eaten and gotten takeout here way too many times, and I’ll continue to do so cause it’s sooooo good.
Now I tend to avoid weigh-your-food places cause they’re so dangerous. But alas, when it’s good it’s good. I tend to go heavier on the proteins, and really appreciate they’ve got some good ones like oxtail, tendon, tripe, seafood and different meat/fish balls. Plenty of vegetable options too. My weight is usually in the 0.7-0.8 lbs range.
So you put some gloves on, grab a basket and tongs, and just make your way down the buffet. Jk not buffet lol. First case is proteins, second case is vegetables and tofu products. There’s a scale there to keep track of what you’re out, and a chart of weight prices. Also a little holder with slips for other sliced common proteins (beef, pork, etc). These cost extra, about $3 for 4-5 slices, which I tend to avoid these as they’ll add up fast. Note minimum charge is around $13, or half a pound of food.
My favorites are udon noodles with the healthy herb soup. It’s milky because of creamer, and oh man is this broth delicious. The bowl that it comes out in is HUGE. Like I usually have half a bowl left of broth that I take home to make my own ramen. You can also ask for it to be spicy, and I like that they have their homemade chili spice available at each table for me to load up on and make extra spicy.
As if I didn’t love their savory foods enough, when dining in they provide a free Taiwanese style shave ice dessert. They’ll bring out a portion large enough for your party, and the best part is that it’s free!!! There are plenty of tables inside, and it’s usually pretty chilly with the AC blasting (which is preferred when eating hot soup). The servers are quite friendly and work hard. Whenever I order takeout they stay true to the weight-to-cost ratio and i get my money’s worth.
Parking can sometimes get crowded in the Plaza. There’s a credit card fee surcharge.

The Curry was average to below average. Thportion was small. A lot of rice and curry soup but the little meat and less carrots and potatoes. The spicy was a chilling pepper sauce that was just put in top. Take was a little bland. I do not recommend the curry.
