review of ramen places in honolulu

http://www.nonstophonolulu.com/eating/my-favorite-ramen/
That said, here is my list of my favorite places to get a great bowl of ramen.

No. 8 — Gomaichi Ramen: Pork and chicken-based broth that's light, but loaded with flavor.

No. 7 — Ramen-Ya: Thick, chewy noodles and free happy-hour gyoza with your order between 2–5 p.m.

No. 6 — Rai Rai Ramen: Not only the best of the rest, but my pick for the best Japanese char siu in town.

No. 5 — Kiwami Ramen: Delicious fatty broth with lean pieces of char siu, but the high fat content could be overwhelming for some.

No. 4 — Goma-Tei: Popular ramen place known for its thick tan tan broth. My pick for the second-best, Japanese-style char siu in Honolulu.

No. 3 — Ramen Nakamura: My choice for the best noodles. Love the toasted almonds, but watch out for the scorched ones.

No. 2 — Yotekko-Ya: One of the few places that ask how you like your noodles cooked. Char siu is on the sweet side and has an excellent caramelized crust.

No. 1 — Menchanko-Tei: Superb broth that could easily pass as French consommé, and hands down my pick for the best ramen in town!
