10. Goma Tei Ramen

After a 10- minute wait, our group of 5 was seated for dinner. Service was efficient and no-nonsense. Excellent gyoza. Now about the ramen, unlike most of the other reviewers, I did NOT like the tan tan. I found it thin and lacking in flavor, compared to other tan tan ramen around the world. What I loved was the shoyu ramen, and more so the very flavorful sunho ramen. I took home some sunho ramen ( I had to, because the portions are huge,) and it was just as yummy the next day.

This place is tiny but very friendly. I thought the wait staff was spot-on with their attentiveness. The prices are incredibly fair and rolls themselves are all delicious. I've been here several times and they don't seem to use the cheap crab filling that is so common on the island. I plan to continue eating here.
8. Kabuki Restaurant & Deli

One of the few remaining old school local Japanese restaurants, the other being Gyotaku. Many "aunties" have been working decades here, dressed in their classic yukatas and graciously making you feel at home. Their teishoku dishes offer generous portions at reasonable prices, inclusive of miso soup, sashimi or oden, tempura, and your choice of a main. Their go-to is the misoyaki butterfish. I tried their daily special, deep fried flounder, which was a generously portioned whole flounder, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Although the ingredients and preparation are not as high quality and precise as the more authentic (and pricey) Japanese restaurants, Kabuki's quantity and value is what keeps many coming back. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is large and can accommodate large group and parties.

Ichiriki is a nabe (hot pot) restaurant where you can choose individual portions of soup base and meats from a good variety. The flavors are strong, a bit on the salty side. However, the wait staff are friendly and accommodating, especially willing to cater to the needs of families. There's also a happy hour menu with Niku Nabe, appetizers and drinks.

A family-owned local chain serving incredible Manapuas and Pork Hash. A Manapua is âa reflection of the Chinese influenceâone of manyâon the Hawaiian culture, is an echo of the Chinese char siu bao, the barbecued pork-filled steamed dumplings.â We ordered Manapuas and Pork Hash for breakfast take out and ate on the road when we headed to the country. Must see and must eat!

We made two recent trips to Shiroâs Saimin Heaven in Aiea. The restaurant is in a strip mall in Aiea, with plenty of parking. We went for dinner and ordered saimin. It was excellent. There are over 60 varieties of saimin. They also have some main dishes and sandwiches. We also ordered French fries with gravy and a teriyaki burger. Both very good. We decided to go back for breakfast. I ordered the chicken katsu loco moco. The katsu chicken was over fried, nearly burnt. The fried rice was chock full of shredded char siu pork, a flavor I did not like. Service was friendly both times but I wouldnât go for breakfast.

Based on the line of people at the door prior to open, we abandoned our original lunch idea. The patrons said it was the best Korean in town! We were pleasantly surprised! Great value for lunch special! They offer three meats and three veggies with kimchi!Excellent food and service! My wife had food left over for dinner! Be patient as this assumes husband and wife team are serving, taking orders, taking phones, and cooking. Wonderful small business with great product!

Just a small, local corner restaurant that we definitely go back to! Local island friends suggested this place to us; and we were in the area, it was convenient, so we stopped. Itâs a small, simple, local restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch menus throughout the day; with 50s decor. Service was fantastic; and the food-in our opinion, was just as good as the service. They offered traditional as well as local islander food on their menu.

I have been dreaming to eat at this place ever since I saw it on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" and it did not disappoint. I had the boneless Kalbi ribs as an appetizer and the famous Ox Tail Soup as an entree. YES, Kalbi ribs can be an appetizer!! The garlic fries were also amazing. I had no room for dessert. Will be dreaming of this place until I return!!
