Overview

Take a break from the shopping and sunbathing at Waikiki to rub elbows with Japanese tourists missing home at the U-shaped counter bar, getting their fix of nine kinds of genuine ramen noodles. From miso to chicken vegetable to Chinese BBQ pork ramen, there's no shortage on food or flavor. Don't forget to slurp to show your appreciation! If you're particularly hungry, get a two or three item combo meal of ramen and gyoza or California roll with ripe avocado (or both!) for under $10. Don't pass up the Ramuné soda for that full, Japanese noodle shop experience. -JoAnn Takasaki
