Assalamualaikum,

Honolu Ramen. No, not Honolulu in Hawaii. Honolu Ramen, located just 500 m from Ebisu Station (about 5 to 7 minutes’ walk). The owner wishes to open a ramen restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii for the people there to enjoy Japan’s famous ramen dish, hence the name Honolu Ramen.

Honolu Ramen Ebisu has also won first place in HALAL NAVI’s 2018 popularity ranking, which just shows how many people have enjoyed their tasty ramen.

The restaurant serves an all-halal menu with ingredients certified by the Malaysia Halal Corporation (MHC). Their ramen is made of chicken broth and their soup is more concentrated compared to some other ramen restaurants. While it might be a bit too thick for some people, the amount of flavor in each bowl makes this restaurant a must-try for the Halal Ramen-hunters out there. Their “Special rich chicken ramen, 1080 yen” or “Rich chicken ramen, 780 yen” have a notably stronger flavor and of course, the noodles were plentiful and had a texture that isn’t too chewy, nor too soft.

For those that would like a spicy kick to their noodles, the restaurant also serves “Spicy ramen, 1080 yen”, “Spicy fried chicken ramen, 1380 yen”, “Spicy Yakiniku ramen, 1380 yen” and other side menus such as gyoza, fried chicken and curry rice, for you to enjoy the Japanese food experience to the fullest. They even have Tehbotol chilled and ready to drink!

I last visited this restaurant early this year’s February. A fan of spicy foods, I had ordered “Spicy fried chicken ramen” with a side of gyoza and one Tehbotol (Indonesian tea). The amount of flavor in each delicious mouthful of ramen accompanied by sips of refreshing tea and finished off with the crispy gyoza…is an unforgettable experience and was filling enough to last me until dinner. I would certainly recommend coming here to have your first taste of authentic and halal ramen.

Not only that, but they also have a praying space available and free Wi-fi for their customers’ convenience.

However, they posted yesterday on their Facebook page that they are temporarily closing the restaurant for maintenance and repairs. They will inform their opening date later, so keep yourself posted and don’t miss out on one of Tokyo’s tastiest ramen!
