Aloha Ramen - Lihue

Positiw: i def recomend their udon spicy chicken noodles (the larger and more chicken pieces would be better.) we also tried their fried rice, ramensuppe, gyoza, garnelentempura and all had great taste. good value for eating. udon noodles were my favorites, delicious thick noodles negatiw: the ramen took long to soften, so we had to use the microwave, that was the only lower side that is regrettable as ramen is their main menu. Maybe her broth wasn't too hot (going to order) would probably be back for the other items.

Some items definitely better than others on the menu. I usually get the chicken katsu with curry and it's delicious! Weirdly enough, the noodle dishes are my least favourite. Broth is good but noodles felt overdone and they seem to use their lowest quality meats in those dishes. Note: wait times can be long since its usually only 1 or 2 people in their kitchen. We went right around lunch once and waited 40 minutes!! Average is around 15 I would say

4/5 stars only because the service needs a little work. Food is definitely 5/5. I will definitely be coming back, as the food is really good and reasonably priced. My only real complaint is that when I went, the teenage girls working the front counter were only concerned with gossiping with eachother and basically ignored me until I asked them how I can place my order. The two girls finished off their conversation, one of them left and then the other one was prepared to ask me what I wanted to order. I had the Tonkotsu ramen, very tasty. Broth had a great flavor, noodles were good, overall very balanced. I also had the gyoza, no complaints there either.

Got charged take out for bowl because they did haven’t any bowls to use. Where’s your dishwasher? The can beverage was not cold enough, warm-ish so put the beverages earlier or make sure your cooler is working properly. The ramen was tasteless and didn’t get the right noodles. To top it off, only 1 person working the cash register and getting food out. I won’t be going there for sure.

If I could give zero stars it would match the quality and flavor of this mesS that was a waste of time and money. I literally threw the food in the trash and started over again on dinner. My order was wrong I got unidentifiable meat instead of shrimp). The meat was chewy and grisly. The noodles had zero broth and zero flavor. It was very very disappointing.
