Daiichi Ramen Kailua Kona - Kailua-Kona

We just had ramen here. It was OK. Service was super fast and pleasant. Prices were reasonable.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian ramen option, but I'm not sure if it's a vegetarian broth, it looked identical to my non-vegetarian one.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Japanese Ramen restaurants, this looks just like one but the flavors are clearly more Chinese than Japanese, which might be just what you want!The menu is extensive! We ordered two different Ramen dishes, our waitress was super sweet and our food came up in under two minutes, I’ve never had food come up so fast so if you’re in a hurry, this is perfect!The noodles definitely weren’t Japanese, not bad, but not what I would buy. The broth was tasty, the eggs definitely Chinese style, hard and with a hint of 1000 year egg flavor. The char siu was really good, not Japanese style, not pork belly but pork shoulder with a bit of star anise, clearly Chinese origins no complaints, the char siu was really good, my favorite part of the meal!So in short, it’s a Japanese style restaurant presented with Chinese interpretation, maybe just what you’re looking for! Personally, I could’ve used more and better quality toppings with less and better noodles. No complaints, just not what we were looking for.

Simple and delicious place to get Ramen and rice dishes! Tastes quite homey and the owner is friendly. Having grown up in Asia, this is my place to fix homesickness.

Food was very good. You have to get over the fact it is in a strip mall. Seated quickly and food came quickly. Although, speedy service was appreciated in the beginning, it became very obvious during our first few bites that we were being rushed. My wife got ramen and it was steaming hot so we needed a few minutes to cool down to be edible. By the time she started her few bites they had brought the check over. Again, foolishly assuming they simply had great service, they checked on the bill two more times. Feeling very rushed was made me think they deserved a grade or two lower.

Chicken Katsu Curry. Hands down... amazing!! Was on lunch. Called in order half hour before. Prompted and ready. Great place with lots of great looking food!!??
