Goma Tei Ramen Ala Moana

It was all right. Went off a recommendation and based on the reviews. I mean, it’s good! But there are much better ramen places out there that are in much more accessible areas that taste better. I can make this quality ramen at home, good stuff. But I go to ramen places for really good ramen. You won’t find that here.

My husband and I spent the day exploring Hawaii and walking around to different spots. Since the mall was nearby and had a food court, we thought we’d stop in for a quick bite. Unfortunately, most of the restaurants were closed. Luckily, just a few steps away from the food court we found this ramen place and decided to give it a try. The ramen turned out to be delicious and plenty to share.

The ramen wasn’t good. The restaurant was quite dirty too. As others have noted, be sure to check your bill! We were just 2 and had a 15% gratuity added! They removed it after we pointed out. I don’t mind giving a good tip for a service but forcing me to pay 15% and a tip on top, is not the way

Mediocre ramen. Egg overcooked, greasy fried meat inclusion, broth too salty. Won’t be back.

It is flavorful fusion ramen. A bit salty for me, but overall good

Greeted and seated right away. Friendly staff and quick service! The food came out really fast and was delicious. We got the Curry Udon noodle, vegetable tan tan and Gyoza. My all time fav has always been Curry Udon Noodle! Apologies for the photos, I was so hungry I couldn’t wait to eat and took photos half way through.

I always like the food here but be sure to check your receipts, I noticed that I was charged a 5% gratuity fee. I mentioned it to our server and she apologized and voided the charge, but I still think it's kind of weird that this happened to others too in the past

This place has a bit of a franchise feel, with a menu that reuses a few core ingredients across multiple dishes. It reminded me of a takeout Chinese restaurant that serves ramen. I ordered the wonton tan tan ramen. The portion was filling and the price was reasonable, but the flavor was underwhelming. It had a strong garlic aftertaste and lacked the spiciness I was hoping for. Service was a bit slow and not very attentive, but not terrible. It’s an okay spot if you’re looking for something quick and affordable, though there are better ramen options elsewhere in the mall.

A quick lunch place when I was around at the convention Center for events. At lunch time it's not too busy. I tried Teriyaki chicken bowl, chicken shoyu Ramen, and plantation ice tea. The food is pretty good and quick to serve. Reasonable price. Overall would recommend for a quick meal!

The fried pork is very very greasy, tastes like the oil is reused for thousands of times. Will never come back again…

When I can empty my bowl of noodles, I know I’ve had an amazing ramen. Goma Tei is the second place to make me do that, aside from my go-to back home. The Tan Tan Katsu was supremely tasty, could not stop devouring my bowl.

Only downside is the place could benefit from a second floor staff as the ground was a bit messy with detritus.

Regardless, the food was incredible and portioned well.
