I went to Goma Tei Ramen today and had a great dine in experience, especially with the rainy weather, which made it feel extra cozy. We waited less than 10 minutes to be seated, and our server came quickly to take our order. The food arrived at the table faster than expected.

Our server was very friendly, always smiling, and checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. We tried the Tan Tan ramen and the flavor was incredibly delicious, with the noodles cooked perfectly. I also ordered the char siu fried rice to go, and it had a rich, savory taste that I really enjoyed.

Definitely coming back to this location.

Best place to eat Ramen hands down. Their Ramen noodles are perfection. You can pretty much close your eyes and pick something and it’s gonna taste good. Definitely the only place I go to for Ramen. I ordered the Vegetable Tan Tan – highly recommended!

This place has always been one of the few small time favorites that I would come to eat with friends. And this place is another one of the few places that has always been good to me and the friends that come here to dine in.
It’s an experience in its own right.
But I will say, the meals come in big portions. So treat yourself to a dish at this establishment. And maybe take some extra home. It’s worth it for its price.

Very delicious and tasty food. Friendly staff and fast service. Seafood miso ramen was very tasty. We also got the odon chicken katsu curry which is highly recommended too. It is located in uptown and 1st floor area of Pearlridge Shopping Mall. It can get busy especially on weekends. Clean and neat restaurant.

Aloha; the only thing good about this location is just that. You can make better remen at home. Probably one of the worst ramens I have ever had. The service was also horrible, asked about chillie oil- we already cleaned it and put it away. Goyza came out after I was already half done and it had so much oil on the plate. And on too of all that they have thier supplies right there against the wall in boxes for you to see. Very unprofessional. Only thing positive is location.

Goma Tei has some of the best ramen on the island! I have never left disappointed by the quality of the food. I especially love the char siu tan tan ramen but all of their dishes are great. The service was on point as well. The only complaint i have is the price of the beer. It was $5.25 for a small glass, barely half a pint.

Had a little higher expectations because of the good reviews. The ramen wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the good ramen that hits the spot. Broth was okay, a bit on the bland side and the char siu was dry. I don’t think it was a one time thing, other reviews mention it too. The rice bowl was dry and bland.
Service was friendly and fast.
Note this place is in a mall. Not a local strip mall. So if you’re looking for a cool restaurant this might not be it. If you’re shopping and want to eat something real quick it’s okay.

Some of the worst ramen I’ve ever had in my life!!

Where do I start?
(I have been a Maps Local Guide for a long time and this is the longest review I have ever written).

First, you can’t call something tan tan men if there isn’t any chili oil in it! You could literally have a bowl of hot garbage with some broth, noodles and chili oil and call it tan tan men. This bowl met that criteria in that description, except they left out the chili oil.

Next, the toppings. I ordered the vegetable tan tan men, which had porcini, dry-as-hell button mushrooms, and disappointingly, a single shiitake. There were also unevenly sliced carrots and some sort of green, which the chef decided to take the nearly raw stems of and slice into small discs, making them almost inedible with chopsticks. I opted to add their chashu to my ramen. The texture was actually good (4/5), but left much to be desired with it’s bland taste (2.5/5).

Next, the ultimate downfall of this dish, the broth. Could a broth be more bland? Could a ramen broth be so removed from it’s Japanese origins that you question whether there is even a hint of umami inside it? Could a ramen broth be so reliant on a single ingredient that they would name a restaurant after it (ごま(sesame))? These were some of the questions that ran through my head as I attempted to slurp down this sesame sludge.

The store is named goma (sesame) tei for a reason. They attempt to cover up their flavorless broth with a sesame paste, which may have been a slightly redeeming quality if it weren’t for the poor execution by the cooks. Inside my ramen were giant chunks of undissolved sesame paste, which I had the unfortunate experience of squishing between my flappy-mouth-muscle and hard-pearly-bits. The trauma of which, I will not be forgetting for quite some time.

Lastly, the mini curry wasn’t bad. I will not elaborate further for fear of giving this store any sense of undeserved self-confidence.

Overall, I’m angry and traumatized. How could a ramen be so bad? How could a bowl of hot garbage be paraded around as the signature dish of a chain of restaurants? Dear reader, I implore you, do not seek the answers to these questions yourself. Go spend your time and money on something of value.

We love pretty close by so we had to try it! Very good chicken ramen and pork ramen, my husband also loved their gyoza!

Not very accommodating for allergies as they didn’t really understand what I was asking about, so I played it safe and got something I knew didn’t have nuts or shellfish in it.

Yummy food, inside the mall so very casual. Good spot overall!

Had the level 3 spicy ramen today. Holy god was it amazing! Super spicy if you can handle it, although I think next time I’m gonna get a level 5 spice, which would be the highest level. Haha.
