My bro ordered the combo set with fried oysters and unagi. My mom ordered the Tonkatsu and fried oyster combo set. I had the shrimp tempura and unagi set.

The waitress gave my daughter a cute Hello Kitty bowl so we could portion out the udon. Overall it was a really great meal and we'll definitely be back! The restaurant was very clean and not noisy at all. Volume of music was perfect for families and definitely kid friendly. Service was excellent and food came out fast.

The ramen was 3, plenty of broth and noodles (rest of the items you select). The spicy broth was good, not great but good. I liked the amount of noodles given, just seemed to be missing a flavor. The fried chicken was 2 if not less. It was bland and greasy, no crunch and the coating was thin. The sauce given did not help or make it worse. I liked the ramen idea, just not a fan of the overall flavors. Plenty of seating and a small group hanging out there. If you are new, they are helpful to assist in how everything works.

After walking the mall for a bit, I was getting hungry and decided on lunching at Goma Tei as we…read moresaw the $7.95 bento advertised in the window. When we walked in, all the tables were in use and so we took up seats at the bar. First, the bar seats are short people friendly. Huge plus. At was at the time of ordering the first time that we were told the $7.95 is only for take home, and it is intentionally cold, but it is with purchase with a regular meal. I read the advertisement carefully and then understood the sale on it. My sister needed a few more minutes to select another item. She ended up getting the seafood fried rice, which she really like but interesting enough the poached egg was in the dipping sauce, which was interesting and she enjoyed it a lot I ordered the curry Loco moco. I found that the curry had chunks of chicken in it. Hamburger patty, small but good size since it was a lot of food. The portion sizes are large and so we did have to take home our leftovers. As for the servers, super helpful and quick service. This is a Hawaii favorite so we will definitely return

The process is, you'd put your name down, party size, and then take a card and write down what it has(that has a number and letter for example), when they're ready for your party they will just announce the card you wrote down and took. It took a second for us to be seated. Maybe like 15-20 minutes, we were exhausted by this time so time felt extra slow. Once we were seated I ordered the chicken katsu curry udon with the katsu on the side. It was pretty good. This is my go to order here. The portions are large and the udon is very satisfying to eat. Although the curry is lighter (since its supposed to be like a udon dish), it was still very good and the curry has small pieces of chicken inside which was pretty good. The chicken katsu on the side was a good choice as usually when it's served together, the katsu gets soggy from the broth. I would recommend gomatei (either town or pearlridge location, i've never had kahala) for a quick and recently affordable bite.

When we were about to pay our bill another couple came in and sat at the counter where one customer waited for her takeout order. Hubs had a won tun ramen and I got the mochiko chicken curry udon- oishi(delicious), flavorful nice and hot. The noodles were cooked perfectly. I gave hubs my mound of bean sprouts and he ate all my mochiko chicken even the cabbage beneath except one piece. We didn't order any gyoza today cuz we can't have any left overs by tonight. Small, satisfying restaurant shows it's been around a long time. There is one tell tale sign giving that away. Three employees were visible and perhaps were there long enough to perfect their separate duties to be able to turn out meals so tasty quickly. Very different old school vibe you don't find nowadays- kind of nostalgic in a good comforting way.

As I sat at one…read moreof the tables waiting for my order, I saw the cook pick up the gyoza with his bare hands to place in the wok. No gloves was a turnoff! As I sat at one of the tables waiting for my order, I felt so "unclean" looking at the floor especially. The whole place felt unsanitary. Looks like personnel changed. Saw just one cook (no apron on) and a waiter who also rang me up. I did stop in real quick a few weeks previously to inquire about gift certificates. I saw the same two guys. Service wasn't enthusiastic or welcoming but he wasn't rude. The waiter patiently answered my questions about prices and portions. He apologized because what I ordered wasn't what I got. It may have been partly my fault for not being clearer - and he not repeating the order. I placed another gyoza order and waited again. The place wasn't as busy with only one couple at the table. Not sure when I'll go back again. Might take awhile to overlook what I just experienced.

The service was very friendly and the server was incredibly knowledgable about their menu and how what made some of their dishes stand out from what's expected.

We have been here several times before and this time we brought the whole gang. Although it was a Friday night, we came earlier than normal and were able to be seated immediately. All the tables were taken, but it wasn't too loud or crazy. Our service was great. I chose their Classic Beef Noodles which were great! The beef broth was flavorful. The beef slice was tender. The noodles were cooked well. Honestly, it was great. The portions could be a little better. So, from a cost-to-value perspective, that could be better. All in all, it was great.

The chicken katsu and ebi fry lunch special was good, the curry was pretty flavorful. It reminds me of golden curry I'd make at home. The katsu was crispy as expected. I liked the rice too, the perfect kind to soak up the curry and pair with the katsu. The Katsu Kushi was fun to eat as it had a good amount of variety. I enjoyed the mochi quite a lot, the beef was a bit tough to eat, and I would note that the soft shell crab was extremely fishy. Like INEDIBLE fishy. I don't know if they always have it like that or if it was just an off one. Either way it was NOT pleasant. The service was friendly, I would definitely visit again if I'm craving katsu and/or curry and was near the area (wouldn't go out of my way for it though).

Since this place is located in the mall, parking is very easy. We ordered asahi beers to drink, chicken katsu teishoku, and several kushi katsu (zucchini, shishito pepper, mushroom, and fishcake). Food was very tasty but I noticed it was a bit oily and fatty. Food felt heavy in my stomach at the end of the dinner. Serving sizes exceeded my expectation and my friend and I shared the chicken katsu teishoku. This came with some vegetables and miso soup. Their lettuce salad is unlimited/bottomless and what helped combat the oily food. Service was okay. I didn't like that they passed our table a few times without clearing dishes after seeing us struggle with managing everything on our table. Servers did their job. I recommend trying this place!
