My Family favorite ramen restaurant!
Tantan ramen, shoyu ramen is very good here. Their charshu is so soft and tasty.
I love how they can add mini curry to your ramen for cheap price.👍
Free refill on soft drinks💕👍👍
Have bathroom for customers 👍👍👍
We came in 15 minutes before closing time. We were the last to leave. Coming in, we were treated with courtesy and respect and nobody through any hint of attitude our way because we had come in just before closing. Leaving, the staff was friendly and accommodating and let us finish our meal without pressuring us to leave and they were friendly on the way out. On top of this amazing service and respect, the food was amazing. I had the curry local moco where the Japanese curry is a replacement for the brown gravy. Brilliant and tasty and would do that again. My friend had the chicken Tan ramen - and they even replaced the noodles for him with extra veggies. I didn't have any of his food but it smelled great and he swore by its deliciousness. Great food and service that was impeccable. When I come back home in February I plan to visit this place again with my family.
One of our favorite spots in Waikiki! The ramen is 10/10 delicious. Fresh, large portions, and so much flavor!
Weve gotten the pork belly a couple times and it's so tender it melts in your mouth. We also had the popcorn chicken as an appetizer which was deliciously seasoned, tender, and not overly cooked. Highly recommend this spot!
We came here our first night after a 10 hour flight just needing a hot meal that wouldn't take forever. It was out of this world and we ended up coming back again before we left. Don't sleep on the restaurants at the mall, there are some hidden gems! This one isn't even in the food court.
Goma Tei at Ala Moana is always on point. Last night was no exception. They were quick to seat us, take our orders, and then bring around our hot, flavorful, bowls of perfect noodles and tender veggies. Always on point. Thanks Goma Tei!
there’s no shortage of ramen joints in honolulu, to please all the diverse versions people love about ramen. its pointless to claim any as BEST in my opinion, so i will try to be objective. this place is clean, prompt service, and conveniently located at the mall. i had the tan tan, which is their unique twist. so instead of miso based broth, its seasame based, giving it a nutty umami flavor. i believe this seasame paste is popular in taiwanese cuisine so lets call this japanese taiwanese hybrid. its good, not Amazing. portions were pretty big so was satisfying. the pork was done well, and it really was meaty pork. overall, a good experience but not worth going out of your way to experience it. i think if shopping and noodle cravings hit you, can be a great option.
Broth was amazing. Fried wontons were crispy and delicious. I was on the island for a week and I ate here twice.
Awesome ramen. We love the Spicy Tan tan ramen and Char Siu Shoyu ramen. Generous portion, the meat is tender, broth is spot on, chewy noodle and good size. Popcorn chicken side dish is good, too. We will come back next time for sure.
There was a wait when we arrived. Not sure how long we waited, but minimum 20 minutes. Got in and the server was very accommodating. He made great menu suggestions. The dashi was good, yet some of the toppings not as impressive. Added the roasted garlic. Even with that large amount, I barely tasted it. Pork wasn't very flavorful either. That's the reason for the 4 and not 5 rating. All three of us enjoyed.
All the boxes lined on the back wall was quite an eyesore so I'm glad we were moved to a table.
LOVE Japanese-style curry & this place didn't disappoint! Brought friends who were visiting fm San Francisco & they REALLY enjoyed their meals. Will definitely be back again!
