Golden Pork Ton-Kotsu Ramen Bar
Overall: ***** Highly Recommended *****
Food: *****
Value: ****
Menu: ****
Ambiance: ***
Service: ****
Parking: *** 6 stalls or street meters
At a networking event, a bunch of us were discussing who had the best Ramen and John recommended Golden Pork Ton-Kotsu Ramen Bar, specifically the Black Garlic Original Ton-kotsu ramen
I tried it and it was delicious! It is now one of my top 2 ramens, along with Kamitoku’s Beefy Wild. This is a winner, if you like the rich pork broths. If you prefer the healthier and lighter shoyu broths, you may have to look elsewhere.
The Golden Pork Bun was also a winner! Tender, delicious and freshly made.
I was surprise to see that they have a good selection of Japanese dishes and alcohol beverages. I will definitely be going back for Izakaya dishes and drinks.
RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER:
Golden Pork Bun = A
Black Garlic Original Ton-kotsu Ramen = A
Golden Pork Classic Ramen = A
House Made Gyoza = B

ZIGU
Zigu
Overall: **** Recommended ****
Food: ****
Value: *** Waikiki prices
Menu: ** limited choices
Ambiance: ***
Service: ****
Parking: *** validated at Hyatt Centric Waikiki
While searching for Japanese bars, Zigu came up with a Yelp review of 4.3, so I decided to gave it a try.
Zigu is located just off Kuhio Avenue and occupies a decent size indoor/outdoor space. The dishes we had were good, but the menu is limited.
if you’re looking for a bar with Japanese food, Zigu would be fine. If you’re looking for a Japanese restaurant in Waikiki, I would go to Restaurant Suntory.
RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER:
Beef Nigiri Washu-gyu = A
Lobster tempura= A
Agedashi Aloha tofu = B
Hawaiian Ahi cutlet = C
Rainbow roll = C
