AMA Restaurant

Ama is a really cool ramen restaurant on the north shore of Kauai. It is located in Hanalei town in the main shopping area. The restaurant converted a covered outdoor patio area into its main dining room and also has seating in the grassy garden area. The restaurant view looks out to lush greenery with the Hanalei mountain range as the final background. It’s a beautiful place to get a simple dinner but I’d recommend going early while there’s still light so you can enjoy the view. The menu is limited to a couple of appetizers, a few ramen selections, a couple of rice bowls, and one dessert but the food was enjoyable overall. Service was great and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a simple meal with a nice view if you’re in the area.

My wife and I dined at AMA on Tuesday night. We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. The hostess was welcoming and our waitress was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. I ordered the noodle and pork belly dish and it was the most delicious and tasteful meal I have had so far on our trip. Many complimentary tastes worked well together to make it an unforgettable meal. The dessert was a wonderful pairing of vanilla ice cream and beignots. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Super delicious ramen. I got the Chashu Ramen with added spicy miso and highly recommend that combo. I’m giving four stars due to the price. While I understand it reflects the quality of the ingredients, it’s still $24 for a bowl served in a cardboard to-go container during lunch (no dine-in). As a Canadian, after conversion and tip, it feels especially pricey. That said, the food was excellent and I’d still recommend it.

We hosted our wedding weekend welcome dinner at AMA in November and Chloe and her team knocked it out of the park! Chloe worked with us to customize a menu. Our guests enjoyed a ramen bar, Ono skewers, and an exceptional fruit platter among many other delights. Ama's atmosphere is the tops. Nestled under the beautiful Kauai mountains, we had the absolute best time. Thank you AMA and Chloe for kicking our wedding weekend off with a bang.

We had a wonderful dinner with a beautiful view! We had a delicious Mai Tai around the fire pit before we were seated in the open air dining room! The Ramen was very fresh & delicious! This is a must visit while in Kanalei!!!

Fantastic jewel in Hanalei. Not a huge menu, but everything on it is fantastic. I had the Ahi Donburi, and the Ahi was absolutely perfect. So was the Mai Tai. If they are still serving the donuts (beignets) for dessert, SAVE ROOM. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and the view is marvelous.

The view is absolutely stunning - definitely a 10/10. The service was great. The staff was friendly and gave helpful recommendations about the food. As for the food itself, it was decent but not exceptional. I had a poke bowl - the fish was fresh, but I’ve had better. The same goes for the ramen: well-presented, but the flavor didn’t stand out. Overall, a nice experience, especially for the atmosphere, but the food could be more impressive.

We made online reservations and were able to be seated right away. I believe there was a decent wait (Tuesday night) without reservations. The menu is simple: ramen or rice bowl, with a few variations for each. The ramen was very good, high quality noodle and vegetables. Broth was rich. The rice bowl was fine. The chicken was tasty. Overall, the prices were steep for what you were getting. Bowls are just under $30. Cocktails are $19. But the food is good and the views are wonderful as well.

We decided to try AMA for dinner just to mix things up, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. We ordered the Chasu Braised Pork Ramen, and the kids had kids ramen and teriyaki chicken--everyone cleaned their plates. The flavors were comforting, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a good ramen spot. We didn't have reservations, but the hostess was able to fit us in at a beautiful table on the back lawn, which ended up being one of the highlights of the night. The mountain backdrop was absolutely stunning. As the sun set, the lights built into the tables came on and the whole area began to glow--it felt peaceful, cozy, and honestly pretty magical. They don't serve mixed drinks like piña coladas, but our waitress recommended the Coco Mizu, and it was light, refreshing, and a great alternative. And don't skip dessert. The donuts with ice cream and coconut caramel were absolutely mouth-watering--warm, sweet, and the perfect ending to the meal. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, this was a fantastic experience. We would definitely eat here again the next time we're in Hanalei.

We've been coming to this island for years and somehow never made it to Ama, but I'm so glad we finally did. The scenery alone is worth it. Such a beautiful setting with a great outdoor area and a huge fire pit that makes it feel cozy and relaxed at the same time. The drinks were really yummy. We tried the Mai Tai, which was smooth and more citrusy than sweet, and the Ube Cream Soda, which was fun, purple, and super refreshing. For dinner, three of us ordered the Chicken Ramen and one got the Ahi Donburi. Definitely ask for the hot sauces because they really make the dish. The broth was especially delicious and comforting. Overall, we're really happy we tried Ama and can't believe it took us this long. It's a great spot with good food, solid drinks, and an awesome atmosphere. Would absolutely come back.

Love everything about this lovely restaurant! From the outdoor seating with gorgeous Mountain View's, the friendly and great service from staff, and oh yeah the food! We were seated immediately for our reserved table. Greeted by server very quickly. Hubby had the pork belly ramen which was delicious. I had the veggie Donburri bowl. That was great as well. Everything was so fresh tasting and seasoned perfectly. Make sure you make reservations well in advance! Will return next year!

*READ ME* I have never left a review, but the service here was genuinely disappointing. We waited an excessive amount of time just to be acknowledged, and even longer for our check. When it finally arrived, there was no apology... just indifference. Staff seemed overwhelmed or uninterested, and basic requests were ignored. The food might have been decent if it had come with even average service, but the experience as a whole was frustrating enough that I won't be returning. -------------------- Pros: * Food was actually good * Order came out quickly * Portions were solid * Received a refund on gratuity * Ambiance was good -------------------- Cons: * Service was genuinely awful * Staff was inattentive and dismissive * Had to flag someone down multiple times for basic things * No apology or acknowledgment when issues came up * Felt rushed and unwelcome despite the restaurant not being busy Overall: The food did its job, but the service completely soured the experience. Fast delivery doesn't matter much when the staff acts like helping customers is a burden. With better service, this place could be great... but as it stands, it's hard to recommend.

The menu selection is short and sweet. The food quality is excellent. The employees are friendly and helpful. The open air dining patio is charming. This meal and experience is every thing you want for a dinner during your Kauai vacation. Advanced reservations are highly recommended during the busy tourist season. Oh wait, it's always tourist season in Hawaii. Come. Enjoy. Aloha!

Booked this restaraunt for a date one night. Highly disappointed. Mainly came for the bao and they did not have them anymore. Everything was over priced. We ended up sharing a dish. It was just okay. Didn't taste authentic and sauces were really not that good. I was expecting something way better quality for the price. I regret not getting a fancy drink but we spent enough on one without alcohol. Views were beautiful, but that's what you're basiacally paying for.

What a gorgeous location! And the ramen is SO DELICIOUS! Coming from SF we thought we knew good ramen, but this place has the best we've ever had - such a savory while still super clean finish of a broth. The papaya salad was also excellent. Also the staff was incredibly sweet to us and made many kind accommodations for our family to help our toddler stay peaceful during the meal :) we would have retuned for dinner a second time in our 4 nights but they were closed on Monday's! But next time, we will definitely pay this place a second (and maybe third if we are lucky) visit!

The ramen itself was mediocre. The Chashu ramen was served with shredded lettuce and red bell pepper which was really odd to me. Highlight of the bowl was the chashu itself. I prefer tonkotsu ramen with a thicker base and this wasn't that. Good ambience , service was ok, but I'll pass on the ramen next time. Also ube cream soda was sour and flavorless, would not recommend.

The view is absolutely stunning. Easy parking and also ability to make reservations. The prices are high but expected. Kind staff and good donburi or ramen choices. Didn't order a drink due to the long drive back to Lihue. Main bummer was the ahi only had 3 slices and due to the price would have hoped for more. Otherwise was very fresh and came with great sauces.

One of our best meals in Hanalei. Great service and excellent ramen. Make sure you get the Green Papaya salad. They also make a very nice dry martini.

We were pleasantly surprised by this gem. I had the papaya salad. I always ask for the dressing on the side and I actually liked it without dressing. Btw, there is no papaya in it. The hubs had the chicken bowl. We both loved our meals while we admired a waterfall in the far distance. The donuts dessert is really yummy. Our server was sweet and very accommodating. I always like when they leave a carafe of water on your table. We would dine there again.

Food was excellent! We arrived right when it opened and there were people waiting to get seats, not a problem though we got seated right away- such a beautiful setting, would definitely come back.

This is an amazing ramen spot and one of my favorite restaurants in Kauai! With the mountains as the backdrop you are guaranteed to have an incredible dining experience. They also have an outdoor patio where you can order drinks while you wait for your table. The food is really delicious, I particularly loved the papaya salad. They also have a bunch of house hot sauces that you should ask for to spice up your dishes. The cocktails are also super tasty! Their outdoor seating is incredible one of the best and their gardens are beautiful. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area!

holy shoots cuz... ordered the chicken ramen added black garlic and kimchi (it was my server's fave) and now has become my favourite ramen ever. MAHALO Ama for taking care of my sis and I while visiting Hanalei! The ambiance is ahmazing, food is so ono and the host is really pretty. cheeee we like try again !

Recommend for a relatively affordable tasty meal if you're in the area. We started with the potstickers and each had ramen. Broth was good and that's what makes a decent ramen bowl.

Service and ambiance was good, but the food was mediocre and way overpriced. They also forgot to put the egg into my ramen, which seemed like an especially sloppy oversight given it cost $28 for a small bowl.

Ama is clearly quite popular and for good reason. There aren't a ton of nice restaurant options in this part of Kauai and it has a great location. The service was great, like fine dining. They were attentive and not annoying. We had the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious. My husband got the ahi ramen and said it was under seasoned/needed salt but otherwise good. I had the chicken satay bowl and I was disappointed that it was really just one skewer of meat, a lot of rice and a pile of raw onion/scallions. It was very tasty but not worth the $26 I paid for it. That being said, everything in Hawaii is overpriced so it's not too shocking.

Our family went here for dinner recently on vacation. We had a variety of dishes to try and share. Everything I tried was quite tasty. The ahi bowl had very fresh fish pieces. Good size portions. The ramen was delicious. I tried both the chicken and pork variety. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. The outdoor table was private and comfortable. The sunset was very pleasant and set the mood for a casual family evening. The prices were quite high but I kiddos expected that in this very popular tourist town. Luckily I was not the host this night. Definitely give it a try if you're looking for a nice experience in Hanalei.

On the culinary map of Kaua'i, Hanalei is already a jewel. But if you follow the curve of the main road just right, past surf shops and sun-faded shaka signs, you'll eventually arrive at a place you'd never think to look for greatness: a modest shopping center where one might buy a lava lamp shaped like King Kamehameha or a vintage dashboard hula girl. Tucked behind it, almost like a secret passed from one hungry soul to another, sits Ama Ramen. It was my sister and her husband--our steadfast guides on this gastronomic pilgrimage across the island--who brought us here. And let me be clear: they haven't steered us wrong once. If they told me to eat seaweed off a lava rock, I'd ask for a second helping. We were seated on the back lawn, the golden hour draping everything in a dreamy amber light, as if Hanalei itself were leaning in to hear what we'd order. I went with a Dark and Stormy, brooding and bright in all the right ways. My wife ordered the Mai Tai, a lovely rendition--though let's be honest, the best one on the island still resides at The Plantation House in Lihue (but I digress). Then came Zane. Every good restaurant has a Zane--equal parts server, oracle, and enthusiastic co-conspirator. When I asked what he recommended, he leaned in and said: "Chicken ramen... but add green curry." A curious suggestion. But I was intrigued. And hungry. Moments later, the bowl arrived, steaming and aromatic, promising warmth and complexity. The first bite delivered. Then the second confirmed. By the third, I was lost in a world of velvety broth, fragrant curry, tender chicken, and noodles that knew exactly what they were doing. It was unexpected. It was perfect. It was the kind of dish you don't just eat--you remember. So if you find yourself in Hanalei, shopping for pineapple-scented candles or embroidered shirts from the '70s, do yourself a favor: slip around the back, wait for the sky to turn gold, and order what Zane tells you. Especially if it involves green curry and ramen. Ama isn't just a ramen spot. It's a chapter in your Kaua'i story. Make it count.

Ama Sushi in Hanalei is an absolute must when visiting Kauai. Let's start with the view -- because it's unforgettable. The restaurant faces the mountains and completely envelopes you in that quintessential Hanalei paradise. It's the kind of backdrop that makes the entire experience feel serene and magical before you've even taken your first bite. The food is delicious, full stop. The ahi is top-tier -- truly top shelf -- and absolutely worth the drive from Poipu to Hanalei any day. While I'd personally skip the bao buns, there are a few standout dishes you should go for: * Green Papaya Salad * Ama Ahi Bowl * Any of the ramen * Chicken Satay Bowl Each one is fresh, flavorful, and the kind of dish you think about long after you leave. Make sure to get your reservation in early, or take your chances with a last-minute walk-up. Either way, just make sure you go. Ama Sushi is one of those places you'll be so glad you didn't miss.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience for my family. We had reservations last weekend for a birthday dinner. We were sat outside at a table in the grass. Ambiance was cute but shortly into the evening we were feeling bugs on our legs. We were getting bit by something and told our waitress. She brought bug spray to us but the sprayer was broken and unusable. So we continued to get bit and tried to quickly finish our meals. Then once we got home maybe 30-45 minutes later, half our group felt GI disturbance. Not sure what item caused it as we all had difference mixes of food so possibly something in the kitchen wasn't hygienic overall. If we do go back to this island I wouldn't return. Hopefully this is a unique experience and others don't have the same one.

Still loving this place! And Stefan L from my hometown of Seattle, it's fine to leave a bad review if you had a bad experience but there is no need to impugn the positive experiences other diners had had by dismissing them all as unfamiliar with fine dining. You had a bad dining experience, leave it at that. You are not the final arbiter of good taste.

Made reservations here about a month before we visited. Reservations were gone quickly so we figured this is a top spot to try. We started off with the GREEN PAPAYA SALAD and it was great. For entrees, we chose the Chasu Ramen and Dan Dan Mazeman. To be quite honest, it was quite underwhelming. It wasn't terrible but it didn't blow me away. The noodles in the Dan Dan mazeman were creamy but the pork wasn't as good as the pork in the chasu ramen. The service and ambience of the place is great. Has an amazing view if you can sit by the counter seating. Note: My rating wasn't affected by this but the bill comes added with a 4% service fee for the employees health insurance. I personally didn't care for this. It shouldn't be the customers responsibility to pay for the health insurance of employees because the owner doesn't want to. If you want to make more money to cover that, it should be done by raising the cost of the menu items. Would happily pay for that if the place is worth it. Adding the extra service fee is corny in my opinion and reflects on a cheap owner.

A Hanalei staple upscale ramen shop. Always consistent. Reservations recommended. Only complaint is they stopped serving my favorite cocktail, The Francisco. RIP to a classic. Please bring it back!

Great food and atmosphere . Service was excellent. Menu is small but something for everyone.

The view of the mountains & waterfalls after it rained was so beautiful. The ramen was okay & the cocktails were way over priced. Service was great.

We stopped here for dinner without reservation on Thursday and the place was pretty busy but we were able to get a table. The green papaya salad is a hit! Loved it. Pretty big portion too. Chashu ramen was another great hit. I really enjoyed the broth, I think meat slices are a little too think for my taste. We also ordered a few drinks and sake and everything came out great. I would recommend this place if you are in Kauai.

Amazing views, delicious food, solid service. Great place for our anniversary celebration.

Nope, not worth it. Yes, the view and ambiance were nice. But that doesn't make up for how mediocre the food is. Sigh... After we ordered, we were told that the kitchen had ran out of chicken. So, we had to order something else non-chicken. The menu itself was limited... so we were left with only a few choices. Both the rice and ramen dished were sub-par. I'm really not sure what the hype was. Maybe most customers never had GOOD ramen or rice dishes? And yes, the dishes were over-priced for what you get. We had to go to Foodland after (grocery store) to get sushi to go because we were all still hungry. Sigh...

We really liked the amibance here despite the warm weather (I was sweating) and spotty service. I'll still give them the nod because I really enjoyed my cocktail (s), and the food was actually quite good. The highest compliment I can pay this place is that the food tasted as good as it looked (check out the pics). The dishes were pricey and not so big, but that's nothing a couple of three cocktails can't fix. I mean I'd recommend going to this place for the overall experience. Have a drink or two as well...

We dined as a family of 5 here (including a toddler). The ambiance was great and the servers were very courteous. All of that was good but what we were really disappointed with is the food. We were really looking forward to this dinner and given how hard it is to get reservations here we were expecting some really delicious food. However we were flat out disappointed at how bland the chicken ramen was. There was barely any flavor. It pales in comparison to some of the Japanese chain restaurants in the Bay Area that are around half the price.

As much as I wanted to love this place based on other feedback, I was quite underwhelmed. Considering the price point, I expected everything to be on par! The bao buns were fluffy on the outside, but weirdly had a crunchy interior as if the bread was burned. The Brussels were the only item on the menu that I enjoyed. We tried three different ramens including the beef laska, chashu, and Dan Dan mazeman. The beef laska was favored by the person that ordered it at our table and the meat was tender, however the noodles didn't seem fully cooked. This was consistent with all the ramen dishes. Additionally, the "braised"pork in the chashu ramen was quite tough- it was clear that the meat had not been braised properly and was far from melt in your mouth. This was our most expensive meal on the island, views and ambiance are there, but food could use some significant improvements.

Food was just ok for ramen. I've had better in WNC, lol. Drinks were superb. Atmosphere was cool. The only thing missing was the heart. Bartender was pretentious, condensing with a chip on his shoulder. I got the notion that he felt he was above every tourist and anyone else. I think he is trying to portray Matt Damon from the good will hunting - just what the world needs another selfish prick. Very unoriginal. My recommendation/challenge: grow a pair (thank you), graduate from high school (thank you), lead by example and do something that makes the world a better place place - instead of "muddling" in a bar. . . Thank you. I hope he finds his peace. We love tipping and only did the 20%. Oh - thanks. Didn't order the machismo on the menu... hmmm

Delicious ramen - the noodles had amazing texture. We loved the papaya salad and the cocktails we tried as well. Beautiful view. No complaints. Must try.

I would say 3.5/5 The atmosphere and location is a 5/5 good shopping and places to check out if there is a wait. The restaurant is super cool, not loud and great views The staff was 5/5 our server Jacob was amazing. He was friendly and attentive. He gave great drink recommendations. The food 3/5 which overall dropped the rating a lot. After seeing photos online we thought there was going to be a lot of fun options ( bao buns, Brussel sprouts) but it seems like the owner changed the menu. The ramen was just ok mainly because of the price. It wasn't super flavorful and personally the red peppers flavor overpowered the ramen. The noodles and egg was good. The menu says it's a bone broth so I was expecting a creamy rich broth but it seems just to be a shoyu broth... so depending on how much you like ramen it will determine your experience.

Wow, I am surprised! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the nicest workers. They brought us to our table, and then we got greeted by our wonderful waiter, Zane. We was an amazing waiter, and s te reed it's toward the right direction for what to get. Although it was lightly raining when we got there, it set the perfect vibe and mood. I ordered the pork belly bowl but I got chicken instead of pork, and it was amazing! My friend who I came with got the okyakadon chicken noodles and she said that they were good but she wish it had more noodles, and she did not like the fish cake even though it was pretty. Thanks Zane!

I'd suggest removing the bar seating so the wait staff can mock the guests without repercussion. (If the ramen broth had been decent, I might not have written this review.) We sat at the bar, which is away from the guests in the kitchen area. I was pretty offended by the side comments of the wait staff and the bartender mocking the guests as the wait staff back came into the kitchen after serving guests. They were mocking the fact that the guests were amazed by the rainbows and didn't realize it rained so much in Kauai. It was really degrading to hear as a first-time visitor to Kauai who was learning new things through new experiences. The wait staff talked about the guests as if they were complete idiots. The ramen broth was really disappointing. No depth. Little flavor. No fat. Based on other reviews, we caught this restaurant on an off night. I hope your luck is better than ours.

Like most things in Hanalei, this place is a spectacular setting and a beautiful restaurant. Also like Hanalei - most of the Asian/Hawaiian elements have been adjusted for white people's taste/expectation. The papaya salad didn't include papaya! Our waitress kindly suggested pouring soy sauce on our coconut rice to "give it more flavor"! A crazy suggestion to an Asian family! Food and drinks overall were great, and the setting was lovely.

All was perfect except the additional service charge for workers health insurance. That was added to the ticket . Which is weird . I haven't seen that before

I made a reservation for a corner spot facing the mountain view. I arrived few minutes before the reserved time and the hostess looked at me and already knew the problem. The spot was occupied and she said, "oh you had the reservation right?, i'm sorry but the spot was taken". what a joke! how do you mess that up? I politely declined the table she offered because quite frankly, maybe it was for the best considering the other reviews about the food. Went to the neighboring restaurant instead.

Nice ambiance, that's it. Improvements should include more menu options, friendlier wait staff.

I had high expectations for this place, especially cause I was told I needed a reservation plus the location and vibes are just so beautiful as you face the mountains. But as an Asian who is very familiar with her Asian foods, I was pretty disappointed with the ahi ramen and dandan. The brussel sprouts was our favorite, that had some good flavor! The ramen and dandan was like a non-Asian trying to create Asian flavors but not quite hitting the mark. It tasted fine but not really authentic to what the dish is called.

Terrific meal. All the food was so fresh and the beautiful location an added bonus. We loved the bao rolls and the sake was reminiscent of what you drink in Japan

We came here for one of our anniversary dinners and they kindly had a happy anniversary card for us at our table. I thought that was a nice personal touch. Causal ambiance, and has a cute area with a fire pit. My boyfriend order the Dan Dan noodles which was deliciously made in a peanut sauce and a good option if you wanted noodles with no broth. I ordered the chicken ramen. I got it with the grilled chicken and swapped out the tofu for their fermented mushrooms and it went very well. It was good for a Thai dish ramen. I was sad to hear they didn't have the beef ramen anymore. But this dish was suffice and delicious. We left satisfied. Only complaints we had was the service was just a little slow. It was super humid and seating was only outside and there were lots of little bugs that liked to go into your drinks. Lastly, the price is a bit high for the amount of food given. Just two Ramens and a beer came out to roughly $100!

I used to love this place, but the menu has reduced to about a third of what it used to be. The only starter available now is the green papaya salad, and the other options are Ramen or rice bowls. Would love to see some of the delicious Asian cuisine that was previously featured return.

Delicious food and wonderful service. Lovely setting in the little village of Hanalei. Will defy return when back in Kauai. Highly recommend.

Everything is on point, beautiful natural setting with breathtaking views of the mountains, covered in mist augmented by intelligently designed dining space that gives all tables views of mountains. Our waiter Zane had detailed info on menu items and gave us lovely attentive service while not being intrusive. We had the Ono fish Donburi and Sate Chicken rice bowls. The Ono bowl had a wonderful citrusy flavor from Yuzu. Both dishes were delicious. We will definitely return!

Wonderful food, service, and ambience. We went on Spring Break with our entire family, everything was excellent and something on the menu for everyone.
