"Ramen is the ultimate comfort food, and here you can choose from over 20 varieties thanks to Okinawan chef Hisashi Uehara. His team makes all the noodles from scratch and boils 2,880 pounds of pork bones daily for more than 24 hours to create the chain's signature tonkotsu broth. Agu has six outlets across Oahu, including one inWaikiki ( 2146 Kalakaua Ave. ). Slurp your way through specialties like Parmesan cheese kotteri (an extra thick, oily broth) or a chicken-stock mix with citrusy yuzu and pepper. Additional toppings include house-made chili, pickled mustard greens,and pork belly roasted Cantonese-style, like char-siu . Vegans and vegetarians: Ask about your options, as they're not well-labeled!"

Great place for decent authentic ramen. Price is ok for the quality but not the portion. Service was great. One of the few places on the island where you can get good spicy noodles. Expect waiting in line during lunch and dinner hours.

Walked right in on a Saturday night at 530. My wife and I had the agucinni as an appetizer. They were crispy and tasty. For dinner we had the Hakata Ramen and the Spicy Kotteri with parmesan. Everything was excellent. Service was good, everything came out within about 10 mins of ordering. That atmosphere was enjoyable as well. I will definitely be back and intend to bring visitors as well!!!

Great ramen. I tried the rafune ramen with two big pork belly of heaven. Noodles are great quality too. Broth is amazing! The only bad side is the price.$22 for ramen is something really pricey. If there's an option to only have a single pork belly for cheaper may be a better option.

The 2nd Agu I've been to and it still didn't disappoint. I recommend the shishito peppers and the spicy tonkotsu. I usually like spicy food, but be forewarned, level 4 starts to get pretty spicy. My only complaint is that the restroom is in the mall and not the restaurant, but it's not that far.

The wait is really long sometimes and there isn't that much seating. I think they're a little understaffed. While waiting, there were times with tables left uncleared. We also had to wait a good five minutes to see anyone to flag down for refills on water. However, despite those minor qualms, the ramen is great. The broth is rich and flavorful. The noodles are the perfect firmness. Also, try their cheek-a-bu croquettes. The only disappointing this is that they don't take reservations. So plan on waiting.

One of our favorites places to get ramen!!! So authentic and service is amazing! Our server, Tiffany, was super helpful - our kids accidentally dropped the water cups twice and she was super sweet about it! She cleaned up the water mess and even shared how she's used to the kids coming in from Kid City indoor playground and that kids make mistakes - she totally made me feel comfortable about the whole situation (I felt badly about it!). Our other server, Sean, was also nice and honest. I asked his opinion about ordering one kids meal (small ramen with choice of topping like corn that comes with two pieces of chicken and a toy!) would be enough for two small kids (5yo and 3yo), and he said it would be enough and it certainly was the perfect amount for my kids! It also came with two small toys, which my kids were thankful for! Not only is the service amazing, the restaurant is clean and the food is amazing!! Kids loved their ramen! I got the agedashi tofu (it was rich!), and enjoyed it a lot! Shoutout to Tiffany for being so kind!

Food was delicious but a bit overwhelming with the beefy taste. The broth of the Seabura was delicious at first but as you eat more it become to rich a for my taste buds. Service was excellent, our waiter was new but did a fantastic job on answering our questions. Love the atmosphere and cozy place.

Been meaning to try this place out since trying and loving their hotpot restaurant. Its a different vibe in here, tightly packed and busy. My s/o and I are pretty small so the little table stalls didn't bother us but any larger person might want to wait for one of the normal size tables to open up. Could be a bit of an issue around the dinner rush as it was getting busy, and a queue was forming outside. Service was fine, no complaints. I got the tsukemen, which is the dipping ramen with a concentrated soup base. I can't remember the name of the dish my gf got, but it had the beefy marina broth. We also got a ginger tofu and spicy menma since we wanted something a little fresh to go with that super rich beef broth. As expected, the broth was sooo flavorful and rich. Borderline too salty--even for tsukemen, but I shook off a bit of the sauce and still enjoyed it greatly. The charsiu and bits of meat in the broth were also insanely tender and tasty. It did take a bit to get our ramen and by then we had finished our tofu and most of our menma, which may have helped cut that richness a bit. I do really think I would have enjoyed it a bit more with some extra veg--that could be why I still prefer the hotpot slightly more. The portions werent huge either, especially the appetizers, and I ended up getting an extra half-serving of noodles to finish up my meal. The total before tip was $49 for two ramens and two appetizers, which isnt the worst.

What do you do when you're done watching Ballerina at Ward Theater? You walk down to this restaurant for a tasty bowl of Ramen to end your Sunday evening, of course! Trendy atmosphere with a hip and nostalgic vibe of Japan. We were seated at a high table with barstools situated in the center of the place. Waters came and refilled timely. Server was friendly and our food came fairly quickly considering we had a large group. I wish I had ordered the regular size of their signature bowl of Beefy Wild Ramen instead of the small. But, it hit the spot, not too heavy with a creamy broth just rich enough to enhance the tenderness and taste of the beef. Garlic chips added just the right amount of balance to offset the simmering goodness. It was really delicious. If you're looking to satisfy your Ramen craving, I'd highly recommend this place.

I am still dreaming of this ramen! Will definitely be back during my next visit to Oahu. The broth was so flavorful and our whole party loved their meals. Service was quick and also made great recommendations. Loved the inside of the restaurant and their merch is hilarious

Favorite Ramen Spot every time my Ultimate Comfort Food! Kamitoku Ramen in Kaka'ako is a hidden gem and my go-to for a comforting, flavorful meal. Their beefy wild ramen is rich, silky creme hearty, broth absolutely hits the spot--perfect for when you're craving something warm and satisfying. The boiled dumplings with chili oil add just the right kick, and the kimchi is fresh, tangy, and the perfect side. The space is small and cozy, making it feel like a true ramen joint experience. If you're looking for top-tier beef ramen and amazing flavors, this is the place to be!

Still waiting on a location closer to home lol. My family and I love this place and always enjoy the food and service. The staff are always so friendly and attentive no matter how busy they are. Food is consistently amazing and prices are reasonable. If you haven't stopped by yet you are totally missing out!

A small and cozy ramen shop in Ward. Came here on a weekday for quick lunch with coworkers. I had the small beef tan tan. The beef soup was delicious. It was spicer than I expected but not too spicy. Love that there's a small option! Looked small at first but was the perfect portion for us. Service was fast and friendly.

Food is great! I always get their beefy wild ramen. It is very flavorful! Their takoyaki is so underrated. It's A MUST try. We ordered takoyaki every time I go here with friends. I also got the beef fried rice which is also good. Ambiance is nice, we were given our own booth. Service is great, everyone was so nice!

Ramen Heaven.... Gloomy weather calls for ramen! We wanted to try a new place and remembered this place in Ward! Reasonable prices for high quality food. Hip, trendy place with limited seating. Two seater tables sit very closely to surrounding tables so you can hear other's conversations. Service was upbeat and friendly. Food: +Beef Gyoza Namban ($8.5) +Takoyaki ($10.25) +Beefy Wild Ramen ($16) +Tsukemen ($17) I thoroughly enjoyed each of the appetizers and ramen! They were so delicious! I've never had this type of creamy ramen before. No dairy which is better for my stomach. They emulsify the broth to get it creamy. Full of flavor! The Gyoza had a nice crunch and the nanban sauce complemented the richness of the beef filling. Takoyaki did not disappoint! **2nd Time Visit: +Beefy King ($29.95) - this was a massive portion of ramen! Loaded with veggies and meats. We were able to finish this between 2 people, but our server says usually most people can't finish it. He told us we were the 2nd to ever finish the bowl in a sitting haha! What a great deal and you'll leave stuffed! They do have lunch specials that I hope to come back for. Enjoy!

Kamitoku Ramen's broths are jam packed with flavor and have perfect level of spice! I enjoyed the spicy tsukemen and sui gyoza lunch combo. The beef served with the tsukemen was so tender and I loved how thick and al dente the noodles were. If you are a yuzu fan, the sui gyoza is a must! This small and cozy shop has such fun and vibrant decor and music creating a lively atmosphere. Even though the spicy tsukemen is not on the lunch menu, they still made mine spicy. The service was wonderful and there was no wait when I visited. I can't wait to try their tan tan!

Lokking forward to eating at Kamitoku Ramen again. They remodeled. It's hipper and more modern/trendy. My wife and I wanted to split something as we were trying to get to the North Shore. Beefy Marina: Marina's twist on the original beef bone broth & the current light shoyu (4/5). Very flavorful but light. My wife and I drank every bit of the soup. I am so happy that this place is still around. We wish you continued success! Come support this local business!

Craving bold, rich umami flavor? Kamitoku Ramen is your spot! Known for our signature beef-based ramen, they are dedicated to crafting every bowl from scratch as much as possible, ensuring the freshest, most authentic taste. Whether you're in for a quick lunch or a chill happy hour, our rich broths and savory goodness are ready to elevate your ramen experience. The atmosphere is a trendy but cozy Japanese "J-Pop" feel... the staff is true Japanese service. Polite and quick to help. The prefecture they are from is well know for their beef broths... so if you love a rich beefy broth, this is the spot... my favorite was the tsukemen. And you can't beat their drink specials during happy hour, they have some fun cocktails , Pro tip: might be a great place to stop by before hitting the movie theaters next door .

If you're in the mood for tasty ramen that won't leave you in a food coma, Kamitoku's got you covered with their current lunch deal: get a steaming bowl of their Beefy Marina (Original Light Shoyu) Ramen for just $10! It's a light yet satisfying option, perfect for midday cravings when you want something delicious but not too filling. While I'm usually all about their Beefy Wild (seriously, it's amazing!), the Light Shoyu made for a refreshing change of pace. Plus, their unique char siu continues to WOW--it's tender, flavorful, and unlike any I've had before! Kamitoku keeps bringing the flavor, and I'll definitely be back for more lunch deals like this one.

Service was a little slow today, but the food delivered per usual. Kamitoku is one of my favorite ramen spots with their creamy beef broth. I've learned over time that my flavor palette is attracted to the creamy, savory broths over the lighter broths - even ones I'd experienced at some of the highest rated ramen shops in Tokyo. No disrespect to them, but just a personal preference. I tend to switch between three choices: the beefy wild, seabura (Seh-ah-boo-rla), and if we're feeling extra hungry, we'll share the beefy king bowl. Recently, I've felt like the servings have gotten smaller. Sometimes I crave just a little bit more noodles because I devoure them all in 4-5 bites - or so it seems. The good thing is, that empty space in my stomach is filled with some of the best broth in town and I walk out with JUST enough to feel satisfied. I recommend this place to any and all ramen lovers. Just be prepared to wait a bit to get seated, put your orders in, and actually get your food. Come before you're actually starving so you don't get hangry and finish your bowl for the special message at the bottom of the bowl!

My family loved it. I had the beefy wild and it was so amazingly rich. I felt silly asking for a take out container to take the broth home but I was glad I did, incredible with some rice later, it is like pure beef butter. The ramen here is a nice change of pace from the usual tonkotsu we get. Cute interior, friendly service.

We had a fantastic time at Kamitoku Ramen with a group of 10. I managed to get a same-day reservation by calling ahead; the staff was honest about not making any promises but did a great job accommodating us all together, despite my willingness to split tables. The 18% gratuity added for our large group was expected, but it didn't dampen our experience. Most of us ordered the Beefy Wild, which remains my favourite ramen. For some of our friends who were trying Kamitoku Ramen for the first time, it quickly became a new favourite. Three people from our group went for the Beefy King, which was enormous--loaded with noodles, meat, chicken karaage, and bean sprouts. This dish is definitely meant for sharing and could easily feed 2-3 people. Unfortunately, halfway through my husband's Beefy King, he found a metal piece from what seemed to be a scrubber pad in his ramen. We flagged it to the waitress, who promptly gave him a free drink, which was a nice gesture, though we were mainly concerned about the cleanliness of the kitchen. Thankfully, my husband was mixing his noodles, so he avoided eating it. Service was solid; we waited around 8-10 minutes for our food, which was well worth it. Everything was delicious, and despite the minor mishap, I would definitely come back to Kamitoku Ramen.

This was my first time trying Kamitoku even though I'm always in the area. It's a pretty small restaurant, so luckily I made reservations through Open Table. Even on a Monday night, it was still crowded and there were parties waiting for a table. I got the small portion of the beefy wild. The small portion was really small, but the broth was very rich and flavorful. My friend and I shared an order of gyoza since we were still hungry after ramen. The waiters here were friendly and helpful.

omg this is literally the best ramen i've ever had in my life!!! so good that i came back 2 days later for another bowl! Beefy Seabura Ramen was my favorite, sooo rich and creamy!!! Plus the Spicy Gyoza is a must!!

Wow! My first time trying gyukotsu (beef bone broth) ramen at Kamitoku was a great experience. They've been serving gyukotsu ramen since 1949, and apparently it's still very popular at their OG location in Japan. Beefy Wild Ramen: super tender beef! The beef bones are pressure-cooked, resulting in a creamy umami broth. It's lighter than pork bone broth, which I appreciate Beefy Yuzu Ramen: slightly sweeter than expected but still delicious. I wanted something light and refreshing and this hit the spot Overall a solid 4/5 because the noodles were kind of basic and I prefer more jammy ramen eggs, but everything else was great. I would come back!

This ramen shop in Ward specializes in beef based ramen. Got takeout from here, service was super fast and friendly. The takeout container was neat, kept the noodles and soup separate. I ordered tsukemen (dipping noodles) and was blown away at how flavorful the dipping broth was (beefy, garlicky, umami). The noodles were also perfectly cooked. There was a large chunk of beef with a little bit of fat (yum), some bamboo shoots, and half a marinated egg. My husband tried the yuzu ramen and wasn't impressed. But I'll def be back for the tsukemen!!

A lot of my friends always raved to me about the beefy wild bowl, and now I get it. We went on a weekday night and only had to wait a few minutes after writing our names down to be seated. It really is supremely decadent and flavorful, but I actually ended up enjoying the tsukemen more, with perfectly cooked noodles. The dumplings with yuzu were quite refreshing too, and the takoyaki hot and satisfying. The only thing is the portions could have been bigger, but maybe we were just extra hungry that day. Definitely interested to come back to try their lunch specials and others like sisig and fried dumplings!

My new favorite Ramen restaurant. Having driven or walked by this many times, I am glad that I stopped in. Having eaten here twice, the service is always friendly and water refills are plentiful. The temperature is a bit on the cool side, so bring a light jacket if you easily get cold. Of course the Ramen will warm you up! The ramen is very creamy and flavorful. My personal favorite is the Beefy King, which is enough for two people to share or one really hungry big guy. It was loaded with lots of meat and veggies. Seating is accomplished via a small center section bar with high tops for about a dozen people, with the rest in two seater tables arranged along the two walls.

This is easily my go to neighborhood ramen spot. It's such a unique spin on traditional flavors (beef instead of pork based broth). It still has genuine ramen flavor just with a twist. I also love the vibe of this place. Fun Japanese pop art, bright colors, neon lights. And the staff is awesome!!! All so nice and helpful with decision paralysis (because everything is so yummy). Fun fact: I went to the Ginza, Tokyo kamitoku and that was a fun experience!

My go-to ramen place. Tsukamen, Seabura, Light Shoyu are just a few of my favorites. You can't go wrong. Make a reso if can as there may be a wait sometimes. They do have bar stool seating for smaller parties

In Ward by Maile's Thai, Kamitoku Ramen is a relatively small ramen spot. There was a wait when we got there but it went by pretty quick. The tables can feel a bit close together and the restaurant a bit dim but it was altogether a clean and quick experience. The service was efficient and our servers were kind. I got the shoyu ramen, which was really good and flavorful! It was also a good portion. Next time, I hope to try a different ramen from their options!

There's a bit of a wait but easy to get parking in the ward area. We got fried garlic, and it's exactly what we expected, very garlicky. Also, I got the tsukamen and my partner got the beefy wild. Both were very good but I really enjoyed the tsukamen. The noodles were slightly thicker and nice and chewy. The broths were both good and very hearty. Service was good and our server was constantly checking on us and getting us water. The inside had tables and a bar seating. The walls were covered with cool art and they also had shirts and other merchandise you could purchase.

We were over by Ala Moana, and instead of eating at the food court, we decided to drive a few minutes away to Ward Center: We were glad we did. We started off with the fried ika app. The squid was fresh, tender and nicely battered. It was a good way to whet your appetite. Kamitoku's sig item is a beef ramen. I never stray from my tonkotsu broth w/ chasu, but this time I decided to go with the flow. I was very impressed! The broth was rich from cooking over several hours, and the one piece of beef made me full. I usually eat six pieces of chasu to get full. Our waiter, Jeremiah was a super nice guy and full of aloha. The ambiance is tight casual. We went off hours so it was not that busy. Ward Center is a nice alternative to the hustle & bustle of Ala Moana. The Center has a Nordstrom Rack, where I shop often.

Located outside ward area, this place is pretty good. The gyoza is good size and the sauce for it is excellent. The portions of the ramen. It's pretty good as well. And the beef has a smoky flavor which tastes excellent. The place was busy, but yet our food came out quickly. I suggest you try it one time and see how you like it. It was worth it to me. Prices are reasonable as well.I look forward to coming back again

I came here previously and had a great experience. The food was great! However, they had a promotion that ended today. My party called and asked when last seating was at around 8p, they said last seating was at 8:30p, my party was there at 8:15p and was turned down a table and take out. We seen this promotion from a fellow real estate colleague that said they were running the promotion and take out. The business called me and said they did not like my attitude, and would seat me if I was there. Claiming they were busy and ran out of a lot of food (knowing they were running a promotion and it was the last day) I was extremely taken back by the way the "co owner" addressed us, even though we called to confirm things ahead of time. I would have understood if it was busy but the way they handled things were very unprofessional. Sorry if you've ever had this experience to you and your party because my first time with just one other person was great.

This review is for my notes. Restaurant is a little small so can get crowded. Seat was a little hard for me and sitting so close to the party next to us was a little uncomfortable but can't be helped. Tried the chicken skin with ponzu and cold ginger tofu appetizers. Both were good but chicken skin wins (shocker). It was my first time here so I tried the beefy wild which is their signature and it was great! So rich and beefy! My friend had the seabura which was even more rich and beefy somehow and was also delicious. Service was attentive and the food came out quickly.

Probably one of the best ramen spots we ever ate at, I would give it a solid 9.5/10 It's a small cozy restaurant and the space here is very clean. The staff here were very accommodating and the service was really quick. I had the spicy seabura and my friends had the regular seabura. We also ordered chicken kaarage, and the beef deep fried gyoza. Every dish was packed with flavor and not too overwhelming or bland. The spicy seabura wasn't too spicy but it had a nice little kick to it , the broth was rich and creamy, the beef cha shu was flavorful and tender. The noodles was also made great as well

Food was excellent! Unusual Tottori ramen with beef in its various forms. The tantán ramen is hot enough for those wanting spice. The miso ramen and the prime rib wild beefy ramen was good as well. That beef flavor was rich and it's worth a visit to savor Tottori ramen. Staff needed to explain how to order through QR Code. Site is not intuitive. Also, our table experienced other table's orders being added to our tab. The staff indicated that these orders were from a neighboring table and that we should delete those. Seems like a problem for the restaurant to solve. Although it was cosy and izakaya like, the a/c was anemic. Eating ramen leaves you pretty warm. So, it would behoove owners to beef up their a/c if they want customers to be comfortable or perhaps top off the meal with a whisky or beer.

KAMITOKU - Been ordering from this place since Shirokiya Japan Village Walk when they had them in Ala Moana Mall. THE BEEF is sooo flavorful and soft where you can use a spoon to break it apart! Mmm sooo good! The broth is sooo good!!! In this pic I got the Beefy Wild Beast and yummerrrrz!!! I normally get the Beefy Spicy but this one was good too!!! I love ordering from here!!! Available on DOOR DASH too for busy people like me to order and have it delivered!

My favorite place for ramen on island! The creamy, rich beef broth is to die for. I've tried many different broths and nothing can compare to the gyokotsu/beef bone broth here. The price has inched its way up over the years but what hasn't. The wait usually isn't too long and I'd definitely make use of the reservation system on Yelp if you want to plan ahead. Service is usually very quick even if you add your name to the waitlist at the door. If you have any stamps from their stamp card system before, be sure to turn it in with your check to add points to their new digital reward program.

Upon arrival we were immediately greeted and welcomed in. Small little Shinjuku style restaurant vibe with some K-pop. The lighting, give it a little nighttime outdoorsy street eats vibe. Very fitting for the food that's being served. Rated items on their menu: Number one was the beef fried rice number two is seabura Ramen number three is beefy Marina ramen We decided to order it, their number one item and their number two item and also ordered the beefy Gyoza, the beefy sisig and their first love drink. The beefy gyoza came with three pieces and contained your usual sauce drizzled on top. This tasted a bit tangy and was not my favorite. The beefy sisig, came out on a nice and hot sizzling platter. As a filipino, this one didn't pass on my end. I was upset because The meat was really hard and crispy all around (imagine eating thick crispy jerky), the flavors were really uneven - some were bland and oily and some were so salty. it came with the egg right in the middle however it was covered with chili pepper flakes. There was a lemon for garnish and there was way too much green onions. To be honest, the beefy gyoza tasted more like what the sisig flavor would've been. Their number one item which was the beefy fried rice was definitely my least favorite item. I understand fried rice is cooked with oil. However, this one was soaked in oil. I don't normally eat steamed rice, but I was dying for just a scoop of steamed rice. Their number two item on their menu was the beefy seabura ramen. hands-down I gotta admit this has been one of the best flavored Ramen I have ever eaten! The noodles did have to sit for a bit as it was chewy. Once it sat for a few minutes it was go time! Creamy broth was so perfect for this rainy weather. It came with two pieces of meat but the star of everything was the broth and the Ramen. Tried their first love, calpico drink, simple but really delicious. Maybe some of the items need a little adjusting, but if we were to come here again, hands-down get the seabura ramen. Like....GET TWO! Foreals!!!

Simplicity, or so it seemed. The shoyu ramen was simple but not. It was so good! The broth was rich and just enough salty. The beef cha siu was tender and smoky. The char smoky taste gave the whole dish this pleasant aroma. The egg was gone in one bite. So good. The room was busy but I was never kept waiting. I do recommend it. You're going to love it.

#12 of 52 (trying a new restaurant at least once a week) Had this place bookmarked for a while and I was craving ramen so we decided to give Kamitoku Ramen a try. We arrived a little after opening on a Saturday and got one of the last few seats in the restaurant. It is small inside so I understand how it can quickly fill and result in a wait list. At any rate we were seated quickly and given a couple waters. After perusing the menu, and spotting lunch specials, we settled on that. The lunch specials come with a choice of ramen and 1 choice of 4 pupu's. I chose the Beefy Wild ramen ($18.75) because I heard that is a must try. The 4 choices of pupu's were two different types of fried gyoza, karage and a stamina bowl. I chose the stamina bowl because I don't like fried gyoza and the stamina bowl sounded good. My honey got the spicy ramen ($18.75) and the stamina bowl. The stamina bowl came within about 5-10 minutes. It is a small bowl with a scoop of rice, some thinly sliced meat (tasted similar to bulgogi), kimchi and sprouts (I think). It was SO good! I mixed it all together and each bite was perfect and full of flavor. We both really enjoyed it. The ramen arrived a few minutes after the stamina bowl and my honey tried my broth while I was still eating my bowl and from the look on his face I knew it was delicious. He really didn't even have words for how good it was. I've only had ramen with a pork broth so this was my first go with beef broth. I don't even have the right words to describe how phenomenal the broth was. First of all it is a white looking broth but there is no dairy in it. I learned that the broth is emulsified and that is why it is so creamy and appears white. Upon first taste you immediately get slammed in the mouth with beef. I was so surprised at how beef forward the flavor was but definitely in a good way. The broth was incredibly flavorful, rich and creamy. My honey like his spicy ramen but he preferred mine. In fact I didn't eat too much of my broth so he could mix it with his leftover ramen he was taking home. The piece of beef in the broth was very tender and the egg was perfect! The portion size was perfect for me. The broth was so rich that I barely finished it. It's definitely night and day compared to every other ramen I've eaten but it's a nice change and I will definitely go back time and again for that Beefy Wild.

Went to a quick dinner with the lady. She was feeling ramen so we came across this cute Ramen stop. Their specialty is a bone broth that brings out a rich creamy flavor. I got the beefy wild (their standard ramen) and she got the seabura (my ramen w/thicker noodles + extra fatty beef pieces). The ramens come with an egg, spicy red oil, bamboo shoots and a big piece of beef over the top. This ramen a winner! To compliment the Asian dining experience they have nice art on the walls and play what sounds like some kind of j/k-pop if your in to that. Great touch to bring in the Japan vibes. Servers are fast and effective. 10/10 would definitely go again

Ramen was very good. Didn't wait too long for a table for 2 on a Friday around 6:30pm. Also had the fried gyoza which was good!

Out of all the Japanese Ramen I've tried, this place has been one of the most unique experiences. I absolutely love the beef broth, and you can immediately taste the difference from other restaurants. At first, when the bowl came out, it looked like a small serving, but once you started eating, it was good enough for one adult. I also tried the okonomiyaki and the Fried gyoza and everything was good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting. It is worth it! I would also recommend making a reservation as there was a long line of people waiting outside.

I frequent Kamitoku due to its location which is an easy walk from TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack. It's located outside of Ward Center. Parking: You can park at Ward Center, but the stalls are a little small and maneuvering their structure is a bit tight. Personally, I prefer to park accross the street at Ward Village. Pro tip, just drive straight up to the 4th floor and above at busy times. You can park right next to the elevator and just go straight to the ground floor or stop at TJ or Nordstrom on the third floor during the way down. Food: Main dish (~$12-16) Overall their food is very flavorful and delicous. What is unique is that their dishes are beef based, including the broth. Typically, you see pork based ramen dishes. The only reason I gave 4 stars is due to my personal preference. I do find the dishes to be a bit bit rich and just a tad too salty for my profile. I think generally other palattes would have no issue with this. Menu is pretty large. Their lunch time daily specials is a great deal. You can do a ramen and side dish combo. Service: Service is five stars. Very kind and responsive workers. They have the option to order and pay via mobile device, however, staff is readily available to take your order. Food comes out quick.

Can't say enough about this amazing Ramen venue. Located in the Ward village area, the location is super small, and almost has a waiting list for dinner, but it is well worth it. Seating is on small wooden tables, and the area still has the partitions from covid. There is also a small table top center bar stool section for singles as well. We tried their specialty, the Beefy Wild, and the Tan Tan Men. The broth of the Beefy Wild was amazing and there were generous portions in the bowl. Don't worry about the heat of the tan tan men as we felt it was mild and oh so flavorful. We felt that prices were very good given the quality and quantity of the food, and this has become one of our favorites on the island.

Located in the Ward Center area, parking can be found in the same structure or can be found across the street where TJ Maxx is. Depending on the day, you may not need a reservation but I'd still recommend making one as this place can get quite busy. The broth is beef based and is rich in flavor. The noodles have a perfect chew to it. Every bite is so tasty. For appetizers, we got fries, gyoza, and chicken nanban. The pieces are big so be ready to share a piece or take home some if you can't finish it. Service was good and the music wasn't overwhelming. Good place to try beef broth ramen if you haven't had it before.

I went a second time and tried the lite shoyu broth. Sooooo good! Very similar to my favorite beefy marina broth at Kamitoku hotpot but just a touch less garlicky. Love!!! Will definitely come back for this! Also tried the chicken karaage and gyoza nanban this time. So good. Everything fried should be nanban style. Lol. Will definitely be back. See you guys soon!

Kamitoku Ramen is not your typical doshi or pork flavored broth ramen joint. Kamitoku focuses on the rich beefy flavor and provides a thick and heffy cut of beef. There are several different styles of broth with that rich beefy flavor and the many options of topping. Service is excellent. The waitress was accommodating, friend, and quick. Interior is small but well organized, and clean Payment -cash or credit Parking -private lot Restrooms -located in shopping center

I had $50 in my Venmo account, I used it all up plus added more cash tip. I ended up getting a negative $10 from them which came up to $60. Now my account got froze. It's my fault because I didn't take the receipt with me, I never do because this never happened to me but now I will. Last time I will be eating there now that I know they overcharge.

Beef ramen? We were immediately intrigued by this ramen restaurant that specializes in beef broth ramen instead of the usual pork broth. We weren't the only ones either. On a weeknight, there was still a 30 min wait before being seated. Once we made it inside, the interior is modern and artsy, with 2000s hip hop music playing in the background. For appetizers, we ordered the tonkatsu fries. The skinny fries were super crispy and topped with tonkatsu sauce, kewpie mayo, and bonito flakes. Delicious. For my ramen, I ordered the beefy seabura. Unfortunately, this ramen was too fatty for my taste. The broth contained small chunks of beef fat, which made it much too rich. I probably would order a different ramen next time.
