went to try out a new ramen restaurant near ala moana. it’s located on Kona Street right across from the ala moana shopping center. Kai Japanese Ramen was recommended by a friend so i had to try it out.
pretty clean inside. looks fun, especially because i’m eating with 2 young ladies.
the japanese menu.
the english menu.
i ordered the #2 Hokkaido Miso Cha-shu men for $10.25.
and also tried the fried chicken. this was pretty good!
ok, i’m a ramen freak. i know good ramen, i know average ramen, and i know junk ramen. Hawaii doesn’t have too good ramen so Kai is probably my favorite so far. good taste, good charsiu, hot noodles, but if the soup base was piping hot, it would have been perfect. i like my ramen hot so other than that, i’d rate Kai on top. the cool thing was the wonderful service. our waiter was super nice, friendly, kind, and very japanese. i like that!
would i go again? yes!
