    We were seated immediately at the counter. Food came out quickly and we could sit and talk for a while :) Got a combination of Miso udon and a mini curry

    Being in a place with good asian food we couldn't pass up the opportunity to drop in on a ramen shop. The tan tan ramen was outstanding with so much flavour in the broth and a great balance of ingredients. Also had shrimp and spam katsu which was a nice compliment to the ramen. The chicken fried rice my aficionado said was great, and she can be picky. The shrimp fried rice had a bounty of shrimp, not like some places where you get 3 or 4 token shrimp. The chicken katsu curry had great curry flavour with the chicken nice and crispy. Enjoyed it and was just as good reheated. The pork katsu curry was gobbled up and good reheated with all the same attributes of the chicken katsu curry. We happened upon here when happy hour meant each dish (except the ramen) came with a side of gyoza. Definitely recommend as great food and get your moneys worth here.

    We went to the Aikahi location once and really liked it so we decided to come here for lunch. The server was cordial, and often asked about water. (Probably a slow day, so I don't blame her.) Nobody enjoyed their soup (some said too salty, others said too bland). The soup was so hot that my udon overcooked in it. Two diners enjoyed the fried rice, and I enjoyed the shrimp katsu and croquettes.

    I will give it another go but no to the shrimp ramen for me. The shrimp katsu were awesome tho.

  • 4/5 Kris O. 5 years ago on Google
    Food was good but they only have a few canned drinks for sale and water tasted like it was from the tap.

  • 5/5 Ever S. 5 years ago on Google
    The cashier/servers aren't too friendly, but they do get the job done. Plus, the dishes come out quite fast. I ordered the Tempura Udon, and it was quite satisfying. The broth wasn't salty, the noodles were soft, and the tempura wasn't greasy. They do serve some other dishes such as fried rice, Katsu Curry, salads, and such, but they're known for their ramen and udon dishes.

  • 5/5 Franklin P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to feed the whole family at a good price. Everything I've ordered had always been good. The ramen, fried rice, curry, mochiko chicken, katsus, etc.

  • 4/5 Keoni 5 years ago on Google

    Good ramen.

  • 5/5 Shane D. 5 years ago on Google
    I'm a regular here. One of the best ramen places in pearl city. They make it just how you want it, and the sides are the bomb. And you get your food fast and hot.

  • 3/5 Aris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Price is pretty good and food comes in generous portions. The gyoza has pork in it so be sure to ask if you are a vegetarian like myself. It’s not a spectacular place but also fits the bill when you want to eat out somewhere not too shabby without a long wait without breaking your bank account.

  • 5/5 Bryton K. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw there was a lot of traffic heading home today so we decided to have dinner somewhere in Pearl City. We were actually planning to go to Ramen Ya across the street at Pearl City Gateway, but then remembered there was a Panda Express across the way and opted for there, since I hadn't eaten at Panda's in a while. But when we parked we saw there was Daiichi Ramen and remembered just a few nights ago it poped up while we were hanging with friends looking for a place to eat. Ultimately that time with friends we ended up going to Zippys so this time we decided it was worth a shot and ended up trying something new. When we walked in it was fairly busy with all but two of their tables occupied. We were seated near the back of the restaurant which some people don't like but I prefer since it's out of the way. When we finally decided on what we wanted my partner had the Special Combo with the mini ramen, mini curry, and chicken katsu, and I had the regular mochiko chicken curry. My order took a bit longer to come out than the rest of our items but everything was delicious once they came out, and portion size was fairly large. Overall the atmosphere, service, and food were all very good. Service was attentive yet not overbearing, the ambiance was comfortably busy without being too noisy, and the food was just as satisfying as I was hoping it would be. I would certainly come here again.

    We ordered 2 big bowl ramen and a keike udon with side dish. My boy actually spilled the soup the server was very nice and polite awesome food and service . Didnt wait that long for our food

  • 5/5 Daisy V. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love everything I've eaten here; their tonkotsu & miso ramen, shrimp fried rice, croquette, chicken katsu, and mochiko chicken with curry are all amazing dishes that I order regularly! But their kimchi ramen is my absolute obsession and favorite thing on the menu :)

  • 5/5 Hope C. 2 years ago on Google
    We loved it! The kimchee and dumplings were awesome. Large amounts of food great service.

    Delicious. I dont have to drive to town to get step above saimen

  • 4/5 Michele V. 5 years ago on Google
    This is hands down my favorite ramen stop. When I’m in the mood for saimin I will go to Shiro’s. But when I want ramen it’s better than all the other ramen restaurants. Had their char siu ramen. Service is really quick and competent. Moderate prices.

    This place is one of our favorites. Cheaper than most fast food places and you leave full. Best curry and ramen around. When we don't know what to eat Daiichi is always our choice! Staff is very friendly and fast. Love this place! Everyone I see leaves full and happy.

    My spot every Sundays before the closure. Mapo Tofu delicious

  • 5/5 A W. 3 years ago on Google
    The Chicken Katsu Curry is the best in the area. Never makes me feel sick or gross. The Chicken is fried well- never oily, never has an old-oil type taste. I like the fried rice as well. The Curry is the way to go, hands down.

  • 4/5 Dee T. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice portions and flavors. Attentive staff. Clean environment. Maybe should replace plastic posters for something nice...

    Ramen shops are plentiful. This shop in Pearl City has a staff of smiles!!! Thank you .

  • 5/5 Baldeagle260 4 years ago on Google
    They serve tasty ramen and let me add two boiled eggs to my udon. They also make sure you have enough water! They gave us our check when we were about to finish our food which was perfect timing! A lot of restaurants make you wait for your check after you finished your food. They deserve this 4 star review.
