Back in 2018, Masaharu Morimoto (better known as The Iron Chef), opened two new restaurants in the ‘Alohilani Resort, on the Diamond Head end of Waikiki - Morimoto Asia Waikiki and Momosan Waikiki. While Morimoto Asia continues to remain closed during the pandemic, Momosan Waikiki is up and running, offering both dine-in and take-out.
A couple of friends and I met up at Momosan for a quick, weekday lunch. While we normally don't venture into Waikiki for weekday lunches, we agreed on Momosan because of it's location, free validated parking in the hotel, outdoor seating, and menu.
One friend ordered two appetizers as her meal, the rest of us ordered momosan sets (ramen + appetizer). The momosan set is the way to go if you're hungry!

| tokyo chicken ramen |
We all enjoyed the food and really liked the ambiance and the service. They have a lot of COVID-19 safety protocols in place, such as contactless menus, hand sanitizers throughout the restaurant, temperature readings at the entrance, and contact tracing.
If they ever bring some of the items from their previous menu (tsukemen, kushiyaki), I would definitely consider returning!
