Growing up in Hawaii, you don't realize that other Americans aren't taking off their shoes before going into houses, eating sashimi for breakfast as a child, or learning to use chopsticks before a fork.

Which, of course, means that the ramen is the stuff of dreams. Plus, all the noodles are locally made. Below are the tastiest bowls in town.
