Our family all love ramen. We eat it whenever wherever we travel and place hit all the high notes. Simple space for dining in but what they make is excellent. Broth was great in all the dishes we had and while not traditional, would highly recommend the wonton ramen. The wontons are excellent. Fast service. Parking out front.

Situated in a small strip mall with 5 parking spots out front. I had high hope for the place with so many great reviews and with a full day at the nearby beach we we’re starving. We had the house ramen and the hataka tonkatsu; The Ramen noodles are great, everything else was well below par. The chasiu was dry and grainy, the broth was salt forward and very watery. On a positive note the service is fast and friendly and the shrimp katsu is good.

Bottom line, really good ramen. I usually get the house ramen because of the mix of toppings which includes a fried oyster. Miso broth is well balanced, not overly salty. Comfort food as it’s best. Not the fanciest restaurant by any measure and parking is limited (you might have to park on the street), but if good ramen is what you are craving, this is your place.

Rai Rai has about 6 stalls in the front of the store that they share with another business. It’s one of those parking lots that you kind of have to back out onto the street to get out so if traffic allows you to definitely back in.

Absolutely fantastic! We lived in Japan for 2 years and this ramen immediately transported me back…I highly recommend the hakata tonkatsu ramen. Great good and the staff is awesome as well. If you like authentic ramen visit this spot!

Be warned you may just drive past this place because its a super small parking lot. The service was good and the food came out quick. We got the katsu chicken curry Ramen, the shrimp fried rice and the house Ramen. Our favorites were the katsu chicken Ramen and the shrimp fried rice. The house house Ramen was OK but definitely nothing to write home about. The noodles came out a little under cooked but were on point by the end of the meal. Would definitely go back

Yum! A delicous place to get a bowl of ramen and a few different starters! The portions are a good size, the service is quick, and the food is DELICIOUS! They should definitely be in the top 10 for Kailua restaurants. The place was really busy (almost full the entire time we were there) and parking is limited up front. Generous portion of chicken in the curry, the seafood ramen was loaded with fish, shrimp, scallops, and veggies, and the house ramen was great for indecisive people who want to try a little of everything. We would love to come back for another bowl.

My favorite ramen I’ve had in Hawaii. Simple space for dining in but what they make is excellent. The staff was very nice and top quality. Highly recommend the chicken katsu curry ramen 🙂

I eat here a lot with my family and it’s usually a good experience. However, today when I went to place a phone order – just like I always do, I got greeted by unbelievably rude staff who said they simply “would not” make a substitution that I’ve gotten on my order for years, but when my S/O went in, they gave it to him with zero hesitation? Super confusing to me, but hope it doesn’t happen again. Thanks for your service!
