Really great tan tan men. Competes with Japan and is a fair price for the portion. Dumplings were awesome as well but on the small side which I actually prefer. Cucumbers were also very good and the marinade was 10/10!!
Service was impeccable and the food came out very quick. Put your name on the list on their website since there’s not a ton of seating but people are in and out quick.
The location has parking which was nice. The restaurant itself is exactly what you want from a local ramen spot…homey with good vibes and very comfortable.

This place has some of the best ramen I’ve tried on the island so far. The prices are quite fair, & the lunch set combinations are generous in amount & very good. The service was great, & I was seated right after checking in.
I’ll be back to try their other ramen & side-dishes; I also saw they have happy hour, so that’s definitely worth a look.

I came to Wagaya Ramen with big expectations after hearing good things, but overall it was just okay in terms of taste. I ordered the Hakaya Style Wagaya Ramen, corn tempura, and potato mochi. The corn tempura was definitely the highlight: crispy, sweet, and delicious. The ramen itself was decent but I’ve had better elsewhere.
Service was great though, the waiter was friendly, there was no wait to be seated, and the restaurant was clean. The noise level was moderate and the casual ambiance made it a comfortable place to dine. Not bad overall, but not as memorable as I hoped.

It can be a bit difficult to eat here…the parking lot is tiny and there always seems to be people on the waitlist. However, it’s worth it, especially at lunch time for the combo sets. $5 to add on three pieces of gyoza and a side dish…great deals. I got the kuro tonkotsu ramen with the chicken karaage bowl as part of the lunch combo set. Service was very fast. The food was good too. The gyoza was good, the karaage was juicy, and the kuro tonkotsu had a delicious broth with good toppings. Overall great ramen place, the only thing preventing this place from becoming my new go-to is the noodle texture which I think could be improved. But I’ll still be back.
@Maui World Travelers, self-described “ramen fanatic” but dislikes tonkotsu, is surprised by ajitama, and did not expect tsukemen broth to be concentrated in flavor when drinking it. Riiiight…

Came here to try the ramen after reading great reviews, was hoping for some “broke da mouth” food but did not find it to be so!
– the only thing I would recommend here is the ramen!
– Daikon salad was not great, wouldn’t order again! cold tofu was straight out of the box with added green onions and sauce!
– Overall prices are high for the food, tip is automatically added for party of 6 or above.

A ramen fanatic’s review starts here! A BFF of mine snapped a pic of her and a bunch of potential colleagues grubbing out here. She recommended it, so naturally I bookmarked it and made it a point to try them myself. And drag my spouse along because we both LOVE ramen.
ATMOSPHERE:
The smallish restaurant is located on the north side of King Street between McCully & Kemole, across from McD’s. Parking sucks, but we luckily found street parking just across the way. The inside is newer looking, clean, and sports regular tables only. The tower of booster seats and boxes should be stored elsewhere and not in the dining area.
MENU:
Japanese salads, apps, ramen, simple desserts, soft drinks & beer. Very simple.
FOOD:
Edamame
Smallish portion dusted with red Hawaiian sea salt. Beans were cooked nicely. I never order this when eating out as I feel you can make them at home lol. But, it was my spouse’s choice so…
Gyoza
These were very nicely done, with crispy bottoms and moist tops. The wrappers were thinner than usual but held up well. The pork was finely grounded and had great flavor.
Wagaya Ramen
While I’m not fond of tonkotsu broths, if given the option of adding garlic oil, GET IN MY BELLY!!!! I know they offer a garlic version but I didn’t want the fried garlic because I’d be tooting songs all night long if you know what I mean. Plus, this selection comes with 2 pieces of char siu instead of 1, and is also topped with choy sum, a spoonful of garlic, slivers of mushroom, a nori square, sesame seeds, and the most delicious soft-boiled egg I’ve ever tasted. How do they season that gooey yolk like that?! The noodles were whiteish in color and cooked perfect. And the broth… Holy yum. Not heavy or rich like a tan tan, but flavorful, a bit creamy, and oral orgasmic with the added garlic oil. Perfect portion size and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Wagaya Tsukemen
My spouse’s choice. This is a dipping style ramen, so the noodles and broth are separate. While I didn’t try the noodles, the spoonful of broth I tasted was an explosion of savory flavors in my mouth. I’d definitely try this one next! The only downfall was that the cold noodles quickly cooled down the hot broth, but we figured if you were served hot noodles, they’d clump together.
SERVICE:
We waited about 10 minutes for a table on a Thursday night at 8pm. Our male server was friendly and professional. I recognized one of the owners from the website who takes care of the front of the house. She was also friendly, professional, and refilled our waters.
OVERALL:
Simple menu, delicious ramen, good prices. WINNER WINNER, 5 STAR DINNER!

To ensure a seamless dining experience, it’s strongly advisable to make a reservation in advance, especially if you’d like to avoid a potentially lengthy wait outside, given the remarkable popularity of this establishment.
One standout feature we particularly enjoyed is their commitment to customization. You have the freedom to tailor your ramen precisely to your liking, from the firmness and thickness of the noodles to the serving size, and even the flavoring and spiciness levels of the soup. This level of personalization adds an extra layer of satisfaction to your meal.
Our culinary journey here was nothing short of delightful. The Garlic Wagaya Ramen left a lasting impression with its rich, garlicky notes, while the potato mochi provided a unique and satisfying contrast. These culinary highlights made our visit truly memorable.

I got the Garlic tsukemen Ramen, Gyoza, and Chicken Karaage. Ramen was overpriced($19) and very small portion. Gyoza was good. Chicken karaage had something in it that made my stomach weezy. I thought it was me but on the last piece I immediately felt it hit my stomach…

Ramen is great! I got the garlic and asked for medium spice. The tan tan broth is also very good and more creamy. The corn fritters were good and we loved the chili cucumbers. I would go back!

Chicken karaage was delicious. Ramen was delicious, we got the kuro. Generous amount of veggies. Broth was not too thick, very seasoned. Eggs cooked perfectly. Dessert was yummy, the mochi added great texture. It can be packed during lunch time.
