Was nice. It's been 10 years sin e i left Hawaii. Still same owner and still good noodles. Good price. I hope we could have more smile from them...

I really like the kimchi fried rice here. It comes with a bowl of soup and a side of kimchi. The mapo tofu rice tasted very porky, we suspect that they use the ramen broth as base. I can’t comment too much about mapo tofu since I’d prefer the Chinese style. Nevertheless, I am sure some might appreciate Taiyo version more :)

I’ve been going to Taiyo since they were on Kapiolani Blvd and it’s still as good as ever! I usually get the BUTTER RAMEN with side order CHAR SIU and GYOZA. The BEEF CURRY is also EXCELLENT, authentic Japanese style curry. The best part is they’re OPEN LATE. It’s a great place to stop by on the way home.

Going to miss this place due to this corner being bought out for construction of another 40 story high rise condominium project. Hope they find another place…close. Love their ramen. Since they have to vacate, thought I’d finally fork out the money and try their oxtail ramen. Love that the meat just fell off the bones. Although I like my broth a little more richer, it was tasty. The other person ordered the shrimp tempura udon, although she gave me her shrimps because she doesn’t eat shrimp. Whatever…really enjoyed shrimp tempura with dipping sauce…yum. My only regret is that been coming here for years and never tried their curry. Maybe one day if they ever open another place. Excellent service.

Quick service and very attentive staff. Food is great and they dish it out very fast. My spouse and I shared Shrimp Fried Rice, 4-piece Gyoza, Fried Shrimp and Kim Chee. The fried shrimp is spectacular, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Awesome! Enjoy

We had the kitsune udon & katsu chicken curry. This little hole in the wall is a total gem! Such great food (with huge portions!) & amazing service. Plus the staff here is very sweet.

Good comfort food when you love fried rice, Ramen, soups! Kimchee has a thicker paste to it. Waiter never let my water get half empty! Love that

Stopped here for lunch. Ordered the shrimp fried rice with curry. The plate came and as you can tell by my pic…it was huge. Curry was packed with chicken and the normal veggies. The shrimp fried rice had lots of flavor and tons of shrimp. My son had the curry ramen and the bowl was wiped clean. He said the broth was really good and the noodles cooked perfectly.
