Goma Tei Ramen

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.

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.

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!

I know it sounds like an exaggeration but I got the best ramen I've ever eaten in my life at this place. Seriously, it was THAT good. Services was so fast, we basically sat down, immediately ordered, not even a minute later got our food, and paid our check and left soon after we finished eating. They were super friendly and effective as well! I wish I could fly back to Hawaii just to get more of that ramen.
