Goma Tei Ramen

Amazing little ramen restaurant. We ate here last night and enjoyed every aspect of it. The place is really clean with friendly staff that are really helpful and attentive. The menu is moderately sized and as the name suggests, predominantly ramen with a few curry dishes in there. We ordered the Tonkatsu Shoyu ramen, the Katsu curry and some popcorn chicken as a side. We really underestimated the portion sizes as they were huge and we deffinately ordered too much food. Regardless of this, everything we ordered was great, full of flavor and really filling.

I like this place because of the freshly made in-house noodles! There's a service charge of 16% added to the bill. It's obvious because of the machine they have in the back that makes their noodles. I also like this place because of the kama'aina discount. I recommend their ban ban ji chicken, chicken tatsutage, or the goma wings. I like chicken that's why!

OMG! The broth!!! Divine! Rich and creamy! Savory pork flavor with notes of peanut and a hint of spice. Perfect noodles, thin and chewy. The char-shu pork was tender and flavorful. The gyozas were amazing! Plump with pork and veggies. Make your own dipping sauce with soy sauce, pepper spices and a little vinegar. Gratuity is included at this location, but they were very attentive and deserving. Note: draft beer and prior cocktails may have influenced this review. ;)

Friendly staff. Clean and simple design. We were seated right away. They tell you right off that a 16% gratuity is included in the bill, which is ok as long as they deserved it. I ordered the seafood fried rice and my wife ordered the chicken shoyu ramen. I also ordered the goma chicken wings. The fried rice was quite delicious and the seafood was cooked right. The soft boiled egg was good. The chicken wings were delicious with a wonderful crunchy exterior and moist interior. The ginger sesame based sauce was a wonderful addition. The ramen had tender chicken bits and the vegetables were tender and the broth flavorful. The ramen was perfectly cooked. The wait for the food wasn't bad at all. A good experience.

This place looks clean and fancy. foods are large in portion at a decent price. the 3-piece meat version of ramen is way too much for me. the base soup of ramen is totally different from the “thick” traditional Japanese ramen . Since the waitress desperately tried to convince us to try their new truffle ramen ($20), we ordered one and it does taste better but the noodle came at a much smaller portion! At first my kids refused to try the new truffle ramen , the waitress came back and asked them “Why not?”,” is it the higher price?”,etc. I guess this is the Asian way to do market research but to Americans like my kids it was a very rude manner . Hope their branch at ala moana has better service.
