Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya

I am a creature of habit. Each time I am in the area, I always try to go back to what I know is good. I was talked into going to this joint and I was severely disappointed with all aspects of Tanaka Ramen. The service was absolutely horrendous. Both servers that were working should not be working in a restaurant. The servers did not know anything about the menu and when i asked for a vodka 7, and you get asked what is in a vodka 7, you know the dinner is not going to go well. The standard broth for ramen was really bland compared to what I am used to in the islands. We sat at the table with 8 people but all came at different times. I get my bill and there is 18% service charge already added to the bill. Server never told us about a standard 18% service charge. The server stated

Service was alright. Even on a slow day it took a few minutes to get my order in. Food came out fast and hot tho. The gyoza had an interesting flavor to it. Ramen was okay. Flavor didn’t stick to the noodles and broth wasn’t as spicy as I hoped. All in all, pretty underwhelming experience for the price you pay.

Brought the family and a friend. Food is really delicious, full of flavor, and a great portion size. We all loved it and can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend because the food is top tier.

Our review of Tanaka ramen at the mililani Town center. This location is right across the entrance of the theaters. Mililani Town center theaters. The original ramen is the best. Please have some appetizers they are pretty good 👍 Thank you Wes from mililani ❤️ January 2026

The food was delicious and the service was good. There was plenty of parking available. We were seated quickly.
