I am a creature of habit. Each time I am in the area, I always try to go back to what I know is good. I was talked into going to this joint and I was severely disappointed with all aspects of Tanaka Ramen. The service was absolutely horrendous. Both servers that were working should not be working in a restaurant. The servers did not know anything about the menu and when i asked for a vodka 7, and you get asked what is in a vodka 7, you know the dinner is not going to go well. The standard broth for ramen was really bland compared to what I am used to in the islands. We sat at the table with 8 people but all came at different times. I get my bill and there is 18% service charge already added to the bill. Server never told us about a standard 18% service charge. The server stated that they would only split check once. I would never have even paid 10% for the service we received. Then to add to this, they sat a couple of random people down next to us at the same table? NOPE! Never again.

My friend took me out for lunch today- she wanted me to try out a new place in Mililani called Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya. I loved it here. Nice drink selection as well as Japanese favorites. I chose the Beef Sukiyaki Don. Slow braised sukiyaki beef with onion, green onion, sesame seeds over hot rice. It also comes with a half seasoned egg but I don’t like eggs so I requested they omit it. It was delicious. Very savory taste, not too salty or sweet and very filling. My friend ordered The Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen. Kale noodles in a vegan broth with bean sprouts, spinach, crispy onions, atsuage tofu, & green onions. Garlic Oil and Chili oil are also in the broth but she chose to omit it. She really loved her choice as well. Service was excellent, friendly staff and clean surroundings. Will definitely come again and highly recommend this nice new spot in Mililani (near the theaters) ☺️

Service was alright. Even on a slow day it took a few minutes to get my order in. Food came out fast and hot tho. The gyoza had an interesting flavor to it. Ramen was okay. Flavor didn’t stick to the noodles and broth wasn’t as spicy as I hoped. All in all, pretty underwhelming experience for the price you pay.

Every dish we tried had so much flavor, and we definitely want to go back and try different menu . We went on Monday, so there was no line. We could just walk in. It's nice that there is a choice to sit outside or inside. The price is decent. Some dishes were small portions for the izakaya pupu style. Besides ramen, I highly recommend the sushi handrolls. You pick 3 for the $16. Hamachi has yuzu flavor... yum Ahi and salmon poke with avocado...yum Garlic fried rice is with bacon Seafood dynamite was small portions but very tasty , I will order it again! Calpico drink tasted like it was mixed with lemonade....interesting, my daughter didn't care for it, though. Service was very good, also we didn't wait too long for the food...Monday night Overall, everything tasted great to us. We really enjoyed it here. First time trying tanakas. Definitely, we will be back.

Me and the lady wanted to grab some quick food before our movie, sat down and auntie didn’t hand us menus and served another table then walked away even though we were at the table right next to the computer and the menus, got up and got our own menus, when she finally came around to take our order, she wrote it on a old receipt then we waited for 30 mins, when we arrived there was only one other table that had not gotten food before us, granted it was a larger party we understand we work in restaurants, however as the newer tables came in after us they started getting their food, as we looked around the same auntie came up and said “no one took your order yet?” We replied “you did” she looked puzzled and we asked if any food had been placed yet, she said “no”, we left, 40 mins wasted and seemed more deliberate then accidental
