Tanuki Ramen is definitely a hidden gem! The ramen is incredibly tasty — rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and flavorful toppings that really hit the spot. Their grilled wagyu beef is a must-try — tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice, welcoming atmosphere. The customer service is also top-notch — everyone is friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommend Tanuki Ramen for anyone craving a satisfying and well-balanced meal! 🍜🔥 My favorite fishes are black mayu tonkotsu ramen, grilled chicken hearts, grilled beef tongue with sauce, grilled wagyu, beef tongue curry ramen ❤️

We finally made it in for our first time and man, da food was so ono! Ono meaning really in Hawaii Pidgin' talk 😆😅 IYKYK! We were greeted the moment we walked in and lemme tell you, the staff was on it with us from beginning to end. Friendly, courteous, helpful, and not to mention fast! 🤣😆 For myself, I ordered R8, Tenzaru Soba (Chilled) cold noodle and D6, Curry Chicken Katsu Don. The family had Miso Tonkotsu Ramen and Chicken Katsu Don. Everything tasted great and service was on point tonight! We will definitely be back again!

⸻ I got here right before closing, but the staff was still extremely friendly and inviting. They even gave me options on where to sit. There was a cute booth in the back corner meant for two, and since I came solo, it was perfect. They handed me three menus, and since it was already late, I didn’t want to take up too much of their time. My server—Henry, I believe (his name was on the receipt)—came over and made some recommendations based on my usual flavor preferences. I told him I typically like a spicy pork broth, and we decided on the R4 Miso Tonkotsu Ramen. He mentioned that he could make any ramen spicy. The ramen itself wasn’t very spicy, though still flavorful. I do have a high spice tolerance, so I probably could’ve asked for more heat, but since it was near closing, I didn’t wa

This is a wonderful dedicated ramen spot (no sushi here) where the staff is lively and will remember you. The food is very good and the staples are executed extremely well. It also lets you branch out a little with foods you wouldn’t normally have, which I love. The decor is fun and kid friendly. And they have chop stick helpers for my daughter!

Great place for ramen, Japanese curry rice bowls, and izakaya skewers! Portion size is generous and foods are tasty!
