If you want something healthy and you're trying to lose weight...this is the wrong place. But if you want some delicious rich ramen broth then you have struck gold..or should I say you have struck Golden Pork!

On our recent trip to Oahu a local friend recommended this place. And it most definitely did not disappoint.

Like most places in Hawaii parking is a bit difficult. But once you walk in compared to most Hawaiian places it's actually fairly good-sized. But the real pleasure is when you get your Ramen.

My kids had the Original Ramen and I had the spicy miso. They are both outstanding. The base broth is super rich and creamy. So much so that the broth is able to clean onto the noodles. Some spicy miso ramens actually have a spicy ground pork mixture. This does not, but just spicy miso paste. Normally this would have disappointed me. However in this case, the broth was so rich it did not need any additional pork. I believe that Tonkatsu Ramen uses melted pork lard inside the soup. This place must use extra. I can imagine that if the soup were to cool down it would actually coagulate. This Ramen is probably not so good for your heart but your tummy will love you for it.

I would have rated this place a 5, however the chasu was not as tender as it could have been. We also had an appetizer of gyoza and cucumbers. Gyoza ok. Cucumbers lacked flavor. Not marinated, but rather had spicy chili oil drizzled.

For the Ramen alone we went there twice.
