We loved Junpuu and highly recommend it! If you’re looking for delicious ramen in Honolulu, this is your place to go. The food is delicious, the restaurant is very clean and the staff is great.

Super delicious and fast!! The cheese gyozas were simply the best. All the seasoning in the ramen made for such delicious broth. Everything was great and the staff were all really friendly. Google Maps takes you to an elevated parking lot, so go around the corner and park on the street.

After coming back from japan I struggled to find a ramen spot that was as good as over there. That was until I found this place! Seriously the Yuzu Chickan raman was amazing! You could taste the yuzu in every bite but it wasn't overbearing, it was nice and subtle, helping highlight the rest of the dish! Would definitely and will definitely come back here! Edit 11/2/25: I had the spicy miso today and it was delicious! Super dense and powerful flavors, you can really taste the miso. Im a bit on the bigger side and a normal size of this had me unable to finish the broth due to how filling it was! Great food as always!

Small tables (1 big table that fits 8-10 in middle of restaurant) so its a little cramped. Prices are good with Amazing food. Spice levels are top tier, would come again.

It's an absolute YESSSSS! And a MUST if you're in the neighborhood OR can get to this restaurant! Super attentive service persons and a long with a warm welcome, the food prep is noticeably careful and quick and delicious! The mere smell of the food is excitable! I went for the vegan options and they were so well seasoned and flavor-filled. My Ramen was jam-packed with unexpected and delectable veggies! The knowledge of the service person and explanation of spice levels and dishes was to exactness & perfection! Take a peek... and when u go to Junpuu's .... Simply Enjoy!

We loved it! The broth was the best I’ve ever had - I got the garlic tonkatsu. I just kept drinking it vs eating the noodles. They have a good portion in the soup, I was not able to finish the noodles. I appreciate they have a parking lot behind the store so when you have a car it’s not hard to get to. The inside was full when we got there so they told us to stay on the patio, and it was shaded, so that was fine. On this trip it was recommended we also go to another popular noodle spot in the area, and I will say Junpuu was hands down much, much better. Their prices are also very reasonable for this area, and they have a lot of vegetarian options with vegetarian broths available.

We tried the garlic tonkotsu ramen and spicy tonkotsu ramen, the soup was so rich and full of flavour; the ramen portion was very generous, much more than the other ramen places I’ve been to before. Service was amazing too!! Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this place! The ramen was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — the broth had incredible depth, and the noodles were cooked just right with that ideal chewy texture. Every bite felt comforting and satisfying. The gyoza and garlic gyoza were so good — crispy on the outside, juicy and well-seasoned on the inside, with a delicious dipping sauce that tied everything together. Great food, and great spot.
