Reviews for Wagaya in Honolulu, HI
When they first opened their ramen was exceptionally good and they were always busy. But over the last couple of years the... quality of the food seems to have gone down. Maybe the pandemic played a factor, or maybe they had to sacrifice quality inorder to meet the demand to get costumers in and out to lessen the wait time. Maybe it’s both, or not. I don’t know. I hadthe tan tan ramen on this trip, and although it wasn’t bad, I’ve had better elsewhere. It was described as mildly spicy, butthere was hardly any spiciness in my opinion. Also ordered the karaage chicken, and while we appreciated the portion size, wewished they had cut them into more manageable bite sized pieces. Service was average. Read more
Best spicy ramen we’ve EVER had! The flavors were complex and everything was so fresh. Service was superb. Waitlist process... was seamless. Highly recommend! Read more
All the food was good except the beef tongues. The beef tongues were too solid and hard to take. It's unlike the average beef... tongues. However, all the other foods are fantastic!! The fried chicken is one of the best in the U.S. Read more
Ramen noodles are great ???? I'd also recommend the mini char sui bowl! Last but not least, the yuzu sorbet and Kona coffee... jelly are the best dessert! Read more
Small parking lot right at the front. Make reservation cause there are a lot of people trynna dine here. Last call is at 8pm,... so heads up for that. The food is delicious. The potato mochi app is a must get! It's a crazy potato form factor. The corntempura is pretty good but also decently heavy and oily so you could share it across more than 4 people. Daikon salad is solidtoo. And the fried chicken cartilage is so crispy I'll recommend if you're into that type of food. The ramen is thick andflavorful, and the spicy does add up - not the spiciest you've ever had, but kind of like shin ramen spice... But even the nospice ones are great. The Kona coffee jelly dessert is amazing and so soft and flavored too. Come soon! Service is great. Youcan open a tab and the food and drinks come so quickly. Read more
Had the veggie ramen, spring rolls, chicken karaage. Got a huge portion of the chicken (took a while to come) with a yummy tangy... sauce. The ramen was AMAZING! Super flavorful! The spring rolls were good too (hot and crispy) not as oily as you’d expect.You’ll need to make reservations as they fill up quite fast but the service is quick too so you should be able to get a tablewith little wait time.

Was told the best Hawaii ramen rivals those in Japan, so got to try. Every dish delights! Ramen was bouncy and broth rich,... balanced, flavourful. Ordered few appetisers. Equally charmed! Shrimp was bouncy in a fried wrapper, with a tail for easyfinger pick-up. Chicken was tender insider and crispy outside, no fiery sauce needed to be addicted for more. Spicy cucumberwas not spicy, but still crunchy. Delicious food that doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommend!!! Thank you for an amazingmeal !!! Read more
