Restaurant Review: Tenkaippin

Tenkaippin is known for it's kotteri ramen.  The kotteri ramen consists of a chicken broth, fresh noodles, bamboo shoots and pork.  This is definitely what people will recommend to you on a normal basis.  It's a great choice however, I beg to differ.

If you do happen to visit the small restaurant located on Kapahulu Ave., I recommend getting the Paitan ramen.  The paitan ramen uses a chicken and pork broth with, not only bamboo shoots and pork, but also ginger and garlic chips as well.  I feel that this is the  best bang for your buck when it comes to dining here.



I also recommend that you get one order of spicy memma(bamboo shoots) as a nice zensai(appetizer) to compliment your bowl of ramen.

Expect to pay around $10 per person (actually, about $12 with proper tip). Parking is located behind the building and will tend to become quite crowded being that the lot is shared with about 6 other concessions in the area.

Definitely one of my top picks for a lunchtime ramen shop.
