Golden Pork Tonkotsu Ramen Bar

"Visited Golden Pork Tonkotsu Ramen Bar recently and I've got to say, the flavors here are a real journey for the taste buds! The original tonkotsu broth was rich and deeply flavorful, offering a creamy and hearty experience that I absolutely loved. I also tried the spicy flavor broth, and while it packs a punch with its heavy spiciness, I found myself leaning more towards the original flavor for its pure, unadulterated richness. The chicken karaage, on the other hand, was a bit on the dry side for my liking. It's not a deal-breaker by any means but something for the kitchen to note. Overall, this place serves up some seriously delicious ramen with broths that are bursting with flavor. It's a solid choice for any ramen lover out there. I'm giving it a well-deserved four stars. Highly recommend trying the original tonkotsu broth if you're visiting for the first time!"

"Excellent hidden gem! A bit out of the way for most tourists but that was good for us because if this place was in central Waikiki, we’d never get in! Menu is fairly extensive. We had the spicy red miso dragon ramen, fried chicken and one pork bun between two of us. It was so good! We got there at 5:30 on a Saturday and were seated immediately (2 people). It was much busier by the time we left 1 hour later, but still had seats available. Service was excellent - friendly, knowledgeable and fast. Prices were also excellent - this must be the last affordable restaurant in Honolulu. Overall, this place is awesome and we can’t wait to come back!!"

"I would have given 7 stars if Google has the golden buzzer. Visited here on Dec 26, being the 2nd customer when they opened at 5pm. When we were waiting outside, we can only see the ramen menu, but once inside, wow the menu is so great. We ordered 7 items and found out it was happy-hour. We have beer, scallops, tantan tofu salad, spicy cucumbers, fried chicken, classic ramen and 2 pork belly buns as “dessert”. It was only USD$53. How can this happen in Honolulu these days in 2023? Food and taste are awesome. Real Japanese chef making good menu. But if you are looking for a fine dining experience, walk away. This is real tasty “hole-in-the-wall” place. Expect this place to be the equivalent Japanese burger joint, accept the fishy smell when you walk in, accept customers talking loud, accept the parking is not easy to find. Come eat at 5pm when they open. Your reward is your belly full of tasty food and a happy foodie-girlfriend !!!!"

"We went there during their happy hour. We also ordered the ramen that are not in the happy hour menu but they did not disappoint. All the food was very good!"

"Had the Spicy Red Miso Dragon #2 of 3 Spicy levels with Thick Noodles option. Miso broth was very tasty. Spicyness was tolerable and quite enjoyable. Noodles were just right. The bonus was that instead of the usual slice(s) of charsiu, ther were thin slices of what believed to be pork belly. This blew me away as this tasted awesome which made this bowl of Ramen stand out from the others I have eaten recently. Overall a very good & satisfying bowl of Ramen. Started out with a Salad with what I describe as a Yuzu sauce with sesame oil infused, cabbage, corn, slivers of red pickled ginger. It was nothing very good. Also had the Pork Bun (hight recommend) and the Gyoza. Gyoza was cooked perfect with brown crispy bottoms with no grill taste and very tasty. Service was very efficient and friendly. You'll find it hard to get a bowl of Ramen this good."
