Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya

Tanaka Ramen is honestly the best ramen in Kapolei. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served fast. Their broth is rich, the noodles are perfect, and every bowl tastes amazing.

Visited this place twice and enjoyed it both times. Their menu suggests a recommended extra topping for each ramen, which I think is worth the extra 2 dollars or so. The first time, I had a chicken soup ramen with wontons and chili oil (the extra topping). I enjoyed the wontons and the fried onions. The spicy ramen went well with the calpico drink I got, which was sweet with a yoghurt flavor. The second time, I had calamari appetizer with spicy mayo, and the tanaka classic ramen with parmesan cheese powder (the extra topping). It had a very creamy tonkotsu broth with char siu pork and lots of fried onions as well. The cheese mostly sank to the bottom of the soup but that was alright. The food is on the salty side but quite delicious overall. Had a strawberry ramune with that, which is a so

Okay service and okay food. I ordered ramen with extra bok choy - I was charged for 2 servings but there’s barely any bok choy. I know it can shrink with cooking but it’s not even 1 full cup. Very stingy with toppings $2.50 per serving. I’ve been to other ramen places that give more vegetables like spinach than this place. Our server didn’t check up on us and see how we were doing. She set our bowls and basically ran away - I think she was trying to avoid me asking about why there’s too little bok choy. Cheesecake was flavored with yuzu. It tasted nice since I liked yuzu but it’s frozen. I don’t know why the cheesecake is frozen. It was okay but don’t expect normal cheesecake.

The food was sooooo good! The restaurant was busy during our visit. The servers were busting their butts, taking care of everyone. The Ramen was flavorful and totally hit the spot! Very affordable for what you get!

Food was absolutely delicious, we'll be back! Friendly attentive staff
