Tetsumen hawaii is a tonkotsu-shoyu ramen restaurant with roots in Tokyo. Tetsumen has been serving authentic Japanese ramen and meals in Hilo, Hawaii since 2018, and we were awarded Best of East Hawa…
I ordered the Miso Kakuni Ramen, as well as the Chicken Katsu. Both arrived hot, which did surprise me and the Ramen was a good size enough portion that I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. And same with the chicken Katsu. It looks like you could feed 2. The coating was crispy and the chicken breast were tender. And the Ramen had my favorite toppings - char siu , pork belly, corn and soft boiled egg.

Tonkatsu was way overcooked, dry, almost inedible. Curry rice was okay. For $21 we expected more. Chicken Katsu was plentiful but overcooked as well. Katsu sauce was only passable and only enough for a third of the amount of chicken. The price would have been fair if the food was tasty. Gyoza was just okay but sauce was awful with way too much vinegar. For $11.30 and only 5 pieces we expected more. Apparently this cook never tasted his food. One time-only customer.

I eat a lot and I like a balanced diet. Only reason for 4 stars is I paid for extra veggies and meat and the food was great.
That extra cost to fill myself up and get my veggie and protein requirement was a bit much.

Always a delicious choice! I love their Curry Sauce and fried Fried Rice ! First time trying their Cabbage Julienne Salad .... not really my taste profile as it was kind of sweet-like in flavor with quite a bit of mayo but absolutely loved their side of Plenty Vegetables
