“ You order at the counter and choose a seat and they will bring it to you. Food came out fairly quickly. All food was was very good. ”
“ One of the best ramen in Honolulu. Amazing food & cool vibes. The server was very quick and friendly. Will definitely be back! :) ”
“ Great broth quality and choices. This place has long been a reliable choice for a good bowl of ramen with a variety of sides. I particularly vouch for the dynamite shrimp. Given that parking can be tough unless you get a lucky spot out front, they are fast on fulfilling takeout orders which are easily entered online. ”
“ Located in Kaimuki with street parking and parking lots around, Noods is a small, simple restaurant. The inside was clean and did not feel like there was an overwhelming amount of decor. The service was quick when we got there and ordered. I ordered the Truffle shoyu ramen, which was good! It was definitely a solid pick and they have a selection of other ramen options, bowls, and some other food selections. Next time, I would be interested in trying a bowl. However, the ramen was good and flavorful. Definitely filling as the portion size was good. ”
“ Noods Ramen is hands down the best ramen spot on the island! Their Shoyu Ramen is absolutely incredible--rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that bring everything together beautifully. It's so satisfying and filling! I also love their Gyoza--crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The service is also great, they treat you like family. If you're craving authentic, high-quality ramen, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! ”
“ One of my go-to ramen spots these days. Dined in and got the Shoyu Ramen with the 5pc Gyoza. Was surprised to see the dining area less than half empty when we ate there considering it was a Saturday night. It did take a while(~20min) to get our food, considering there were about 2-3 other parties dining in. Overall great quality ramen and will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Visited a friend nearby and we decided to just try this place out. Little did we know that we'd be blown away by the food, and will make it a point to come back and try again soon! We ordered 3 different ramen dishes, myself getting the tsukumen dipping noodles. The broth was deliciously salty. Now when you ask for spicy, they provide you with Powdered chili spice, which is available on each table. That. Ish. Is. SPICY . Like burn your boots hole spicy. And I love it. Like it had great flavor and burn. My friends also enjoyed their own ramen dishes. We also got a few apps to share. The karaage chicken was okay, but I assume would be better if eaten fresh in house. The takoyaki was pretty good. But the winner - the winner was the ginger scallion gyoza. With we got 2 orders cause we were fighting over those. Like I said, all the food was delish so we're going to eat in house soon. The vibes seemed great, and the front of house were pretty friendly when I picked up my food. I feel like it was either the manager or owner who helped get my food, but his demeanor and service helped convince me to wanna come back. ”
“ We absolutely love noods. My honey and I come here at least once a month, but were encouraged this visit to stray from our normal orders and were not disappointed!! I had their kabocha ramen and he, the tsukemen. Both were incredibly flavorful and generous in size. We also tried chicken karaage for the first time, which was hot and fresh, but not overly spiced or oily. The service here is also ways very good and the food comes out pretty quickly. Keep in mind, it is a small space with few tables that sit more than 4 people. We haven't tried their takeout yet, but always see people coming in to pickup orders, so I'm assuming the noodles sit well and are just as good enjoyed at home! ”
“ Talk about quick service (and super friendly staff)!!! We were really hungry, so we ordered the Kimchi potstickers which came out minutes after we ordered them. And then about a minute later we got our ramen. Warm, squishy noods, and flavorful broth. There is also some red pepper powder on the table to add to your bowls to make as spicy as you want. While the Kimchi potstickers didn't really taste like Kimchi, it was still tasty. Will be back to try all the other broths. I tried the miso and the hubs had black garlic which super garlicky in the best way. ”
