I was really hoping to enjoy this spot more than I did. The broth in the tonkatsu was just average at best and the potstickers aren't something I would order again. Overall, depth of flavor was definitely lacking. When comparing to other ramens I've had in the area, this just wouldn't be a spot I'd revisit. I'd recommend trying it out yourself though to be the judge. read more

Gokazoku Ramen - Tonkatsu (before the broth is added and minus chashu) - Ramen Near Me - Tracy, California

So this place is in the food court of the mall in Tracy. There is ample seating based on the number of restaurants there. It was 2pm so not very busy at all. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and takoyaki. First of all, the takoyaki were very cold at the center. As if they had been previously frozen and then not fully cooked. Not an enjoyable experience eating them at all. The tonkotsu ramen was just ok. Broth was lacking a depth of flavor. The pork was very tender, but also not very flavorful. Staff was very nice and attentive. There was a bout a 10min wait for the food to be prepared. Would not return to this restaurant again. read more

Gokazoku Ramen - Takoyaki and tonkatsu Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Tracy, California

I am so freaking happy that Tracy finally has a legit ramen spot! These guys started off as a humble tent at the farmers market and have now upgraded to a location inside the Tracy Mall food court--a huge win for local food lovers. Let's be real: the mall itself might be on life support, but this ramen spot brings it back to life with flavor. We tried all three broths--tonkotsu, miso, and tan tan--and every single one delivered. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. If I'm ever craving soup or ramen in Tracy, this is now my go-to spot. No more having to drive out of town for a good bowl! Service was solid and friendly, and we even got to meet the owner, who clearly has a passion for what he's doing. You can feel the heart in the food. Sure, the ambience isn't anything fancy--you're eating in a food court, after all--but honestly, who cares? You're not here for the vibes. You're here for the ramen. And it absolutely hits. read more

Decent bowl of ramen, we had the tonkatsu and the tan tan men ramen. I think if they could ease up on the oil and find a way to make the flavors pop out more in their broth, this could easily be an amazing ramen spot. The broth was pretty bland and very oily at the surface. I'd give the broth 3 star rating. The additional star goes towards other aspects of the ramen and service! You can tell they put love into making their homemade noodles, great texture. I also loved the chashu as well. A family owned business in the mall food court, their service was really accommodating and welcoming. read more

It was lunch time and was in the area. I was greeted by a gentleman that was very nice and friendly. He prepared my gyudon and chicken karaage. Food was fresh and delicious! The staff there is always very nice and highly recommend paying them a visit! read more

What a gem! Found this amazing ramen spot at the Tracy farmers market (they are also at Mountain house Farmers markets on Sundays!) and was not disappointed... so good I had to go back and get ramen on a hot day!! There's something for everyone with three delicious broth flavors: Tonkatsu TanTanMen (spicy) Miso They also serve rice bowls such as chicken teriyaki, chicken karaage, and Gyudon beef! Everything I've tried from them has been super delicious with fresh ingredients and amazing authentic flavors. The owners are so friendly, courteous and have wonderful customer service! Super excited this small, family owned business will soon be opening a brick and mortar location at the Tracy Mall. Can't wait! read more

As they just opened, food was amazing. Give them time to become excellent. If you want a little bit of a Japanese experience, order your food for here but at the bar you get a real bowl. I'll be going back. It's an awesome experience before I hit Costco. They're in the Tracy mall so there's a lot of atmosphere around you but if you could ignore that, enjoy the Ramen you're doing something special read more

My husband and I traveled this far from Los Angeles to Tracy. We finally found this Ramen place and were extremely impressed with the chef and the staff during our recent visits. The food quality was fantastic. We've been searching for high-quality noodles, and your team exceeded our expectations. Additionally, the side dishes were superb, especially the Chicken Karaage, Takoyaki & Gyoza with their in-house sauces. Overall, the Gokazoku Ramen is excellent place to dine and to cater. We'll certainly recommend you to others, particularly for all seasons. read more

Run, don't walk. You couldn't ask for better service, I believe it is owned and ran by the most sweetest and genuine couple who truly put their love into their craft. Food was absolutely delicious and even though it's located in the mall food court, the presentation and taste did not disappoint. You can either choose to eat at their bar top or tables but I did notice how clean their booth was. Definitely going back and would highly recommend. read more

Gokazoku Ramen - Tonkatsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Tracy, California

If you know what real ramen taste like this is not it. If you want really good ramen visit zoku.

Here is the reason why I give this review only 1 star. I've tried a lot of ramen places all over the bay area and when I'm in Japan, this place have got to be one of the worst. I have no idea how this place have high review and got good service in the first place. 1. The broth was so bland and lack luster, for a tonkutsu with a description of black garlic oil, you don't see or smell any black garlic oil at all. You cannot taste the umami flavor from the pork bone broth, that is the most important thing in a tonkutsu ramen. The noodle itself was soggy too. If you buy the instant Tonkutsu at costco it would taste more umami than this one. 2. The place is big enough for the staff, but one of the staff keep walking behind the other staff and brushing the behind or her other sides, I was standing and waiting for my food and he did it like 3 times within the time frame of less than 10 minutes. I don't want extra bacteria in my food. 3. The service- The guy that ring me up feel like he is being force to go to work. He remember to ask me to answer the tipping question though, even though my order was togo. They charged you extra for using credit card but did not inform you or have any signs that say they will charge a fee ($1.28). Most places will have sign that says if you spend less than a certain amount they will charge, this place did not inform the customers or put up any signs, my whole bill was over $31 and yet I still get charge, when I asked the cashier he said he doesn't know and that he cannot undo it for me if I want to void the transaction and pay cash. Don't waste your money and try a different place. read more

I've been eating their ramen since they started at the Tracy farmers market. Still the BEST ramen I've had: broth is so flavorful, noodles are homemade & silky smooth, the pork & egg so yummy! My husband had the chicken karaage bowl--good crispy chicken! read more

Great customer service. I took my 12 year old son to the mall and came across this place. We were immediately greeted with great customer service and very friendly staff. My son and I had the Tonkatsu and the Chicken Gyoza. The gentleman making the Ramen and Gyoza explained how everything was made and was very knowledgeable. Everything is made in house and you can tell by how fresh the food was. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

The food was amazing but was even better was the service, warm hearted and caring, being my first here they taught me what sauce was for what and gave me an excellent experience well done and I give my best hopes and prayer towards their success. read more

This is quite possibly my new favorite ramen place in Tracy. My husband and I love Japanese food, and the broth and noodles are legit. So satisfying and filling. We enjoyed a chat with the owners at the bar in the mall as we ate. They're incredibly friendly and even gave us some karaage on the house. Eat the ramen there in the mall where it's made fresh!! Makes a difference (vs. Doordashing). read more

I ordered the beef bowl and it was very yummy. I will be back and will try the chicken soup

First visit, saw them open when I stopped in for a cheese stake to celebrate after the super bowl. Had the tonkatsu and it was very good, tipped it up at the end to get every drop. Thank you very much! These guys have just started and they are very local family guys and this start is very good. I look forward to even better in the future and I'm going to support them by stopping by regularly for another bowl. My next bowl will be the spicy and my wife is looking forward to the Tori Paitan as she is a confirmed chicken junkie. Tracy Ramen lovers, give these guys a visit, you won't regret it - :) read more

Surprisingly good ramen! I came out to Tracy to get my car fixed and stopped by this mall to wait it out. The Tantanmen ramen is excellent and so tasty, even for my Bay Area food standards. Highly recommend! read more

I haven't tried all of their dishes. This is just for their ramen. I was very looking forward for a good local ramen spot, so I was waiting for months for this place to open, but the wait was for naught. The soup of the Tonkatsu ramen I had was extremely lackluster, and it is the most important part of the dish. I wouldn't try their ramen again. I have had good ramen elsewhere in CA and in Japan, and this does not compare at all, not even half-way. I'm not sure what other reviewers are tasting (maybe they have not tried good ramen). The bamboo shoots included are tough but tasty, and their char siu slice is decent. read more
