Daiichi ramen is my go-to spot for a quick and delicious bite to eat. It’s one of the quickest and most reliable for getting on Uber eats, doordash, direct to-go, or eating in the restaurant even! They have a great deal on a 2 side combo that comes with soup and 2 other items, my favorites are the curry ramen with a side of gyoza and fried rice. My other half loves the miso udon with mochiko chicken and katsu or curry.

Good food. The service was just okay. They forgot my soup and salad that comes with my meal. Otherwise, it was good. Reasonable in price.

The food is good. However, this place has some of the worst service I experienced on the island. The server was abrupt and rude. As soon as we were through the front door she pointed at a table and told us to sit. She suddenly left our table as we were asking questions, not to return. The young lady who brought the food was the opposite and quite nice.

Very quick service and piping hot food. Reasonable price for the food you get. Not the most authentic but great for a quick bite! I recommend the gyoza and calamari for sides. Ramen broth is decent, the noodles itself had the right amount of firmness. Udon was a little overcooked.

I visit the Hilo location from time to time. It’s one of my go to’s for affordable, comforting, noodles. Was greeted by rude and impatient server the second I walked in the door. Same service from the other person working. Food was pretty good though ♂️. Seems like most of the reviews mention the same. I’d recommend Panda if your looking for a smile

Everything we had here was super good. Being an owner of a restaurant in a strip mall can either make you leary or super excited. It was unassuming from a decor standpoint but everything we got was super good. The human serving us must have had a connection in ownership, she was super gracious and attentive.

Me and two friends ordered ramen from here and it came out within 5 minutes! Very fast service. They seperated the broth and noodles, so nothing was soggy once we got home! Quick service, yummy food!

We were so hungry after a 6 hour flight from San Diego. As we were driving to our condo, we spotted the shopping center that had several restaurants and fast food places. We wanted good, hot meal served quickly and this place seemed to be fast. We enjoyed our hot food and it was quick.

I had the spicy beef ramen and it was excellent. All the food came out ridiculously fast and was delicious. Gyoza was not the best I’ve ever had but still good with a thick outer layer (take a bite and dunk it in the spicy broth if you’re feeling adventurous). Noodles were solid but the broth was the key here. Perfect spice and flavor. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the pork fried rice as well
