I was amazed when almost one thousand people lined up in Kakaako to taste a Ramen Burger made famous in New York by Chef Keizo Shimamoto. Keizo came to Hawaii and in a few short hours sold out of 700 Ramen Burgers at ten bucks a pop. This burger frenzy made the local news and propelled several local eateries to make their own version of the Ramen Burger. One of the first to copy Keizo's concept was LL Hawaiian BBQ. The LL version is $5.95 and believe me it did not cause a frenzy with me. I found the burger to be greasy and pretty bland. I ordered my Ramen Burger with cheese which was .35 extra. Basically a $6 burger with some chopped green onion. The green onion which looks so vibrant and fresh on the Original Keizo version is lost in the LL version. Cannot taste it. There also was no lettuce on the LL version and I think it really needs it to add texture and a fresh pop. I did not really like the Ramen Burger at LL. The beef did not taste fresh, the noodles were greasy and the burger lacked flavor. When I think that I could buy three In n' Out Burgers for this price, I want to jump on a plane and head to California to hit and In n' Out. Don't waste $6 on this Saimin Burger.
