The service was great! The food came out quick! Everything was delicious! We LOVED the fried rice! The ramen was so good :)
We found this place when on this side of the island and looking for a place that had fresh authentic ramen. And this place was it!! The parking lot is small and the shop itself is small, but it sure is a hidden gem. They were doing to-go orders and we were one of two parties dining in. We ordered the fried oysters which were fine. We ordered the curry ramen and the tonkatsu ramen. Both were very good and full of flavor and toppings. The ramen noodles you could tell were house made and thick. The broth was thick and full of flavor. It absolutely hit the spot and was a great find! For those who are ramen lovers, come here!!
Rai Rai Ramen was AMAZING. Some of the best food i’ve had all year. I’d rate this 11/10 if I could. Seat yourself with incredibly friendly staff. The definition of a hole in the wall authentic restaurant. Real Japanese cuisine, huge portions, reasonable prices and great start to end experience. Our sever was lovely and the food came out SO FAST. It’s also BYOB so we ran across the street and got some tall boys from 7/11. I’ll be coming back weekly!! OBSESSED! Highly suggest the combo dishes. I was worried both would be super small portions but they’re huge and literally so delicious.
Our family all love ramen. We eat it whenever wherever we travel and place hit all the high notes. Simple space for dining in but what they make is excellent. Broth was great in all the dishes we had and while not traditional, would highly recommend the wonton ramen. The wontons are excellent. Fast service. Parking out front.
Rai Rai has about 6 stalls in the front of the store that they share with another business. It's one of those parking lots that you kind of have to back out onto the street to get out so if traffic allows you to definitely back in.
Small dine in area with about 7 tables. When we went at around 1930 there was only 2 other groups but they had a bunch of take out orders.
Service was fast and friendly and despite there only being one lady working the tables and take out everything came out quickly.
We got a shoyu ramen set (small ramen, bowl rice and 4 gyoza) and a regular mabo tofu ramen. Both had really flavorful broth and the noodles were nice and chewy. Gyoza was also excellent but the rice was a little dry.
Price was 14.75 for the set (1 dollar more to upgrade to fried rice) and 14 bucks for the mabo tofu.
Overall very happy with the food we got. Price is a little higher than most other ramen places but think it's worth the slight premium to me.
Be warned you may just drive past this place because its a super small parking lot. The service was good and the food came out quick. We got the katsu chicken curry Ramen, the shrimp fried rice and the house Ramen. Our favorites were the katsu chicken Ramen and the shrimp fried rice. The house house Ramen was OK but definitely nothing to write home about. The noodles came out a little under cooked but were on point by the end of the meal. Would definitely go back
Yum! A delicous place to get a bowl of ramen and a few different starters! The portions are a good size, the service is quick, and the food is DELICIOUS! They should definitely be in the top 10 for Kailua restaurants. The place was really busy (almost full the entire time we were there) and parking is limited up front. Generous portion of chicken in the curry, the seafood ramen was loaded with fish, shrimp, scallops, and veggies, and the house ramen was great for indecisive people who want to try a little of everything. We would love to come back for another bowl.
Bottom line, really good ramen. I usually get the house ramen because of the mix of toppings which includes a fried oyster. Miso broth is well balanced, not overly salty. Comfort food as it’s best. Not the fanciest restaurant by any measure and parking is limited (you might have to park on the street), but if good ramen is what you are craving, this is your place.
Really loved this place. Low key setting, but the food and service were top-notch. Really loved the spicy beef ramen and the fried rice.
After spending the morning on Kailua beach and Lanikai beach, we were searching for food around the area. I was in the mood for ramen and we ended up at Rai Rai ramen. It seems like a mom and pop shop. Very small with limited parking. Restrooms are out in the back area.
We were seated right away. It was not too crowded on a Friday for lunch time. The place was clean with a good amount of seats. We picked our choice of ramen and it was brought out fairly quick. I ordered an oxtail ramen. Portion was big. It came in a giant bowl with a ladle spoon.
The broth was sweet and it was served with plenty of oxtail and noodles. I devoured the whole thing quickly. Warning that this place was cash only. The lady that took our orders was friendly and provided quick service. Overall, a good spot to grab a quick and filling lunch in the area.
