On our recent trip to Oahu, we stopped at Goma Tei Ramen. We'd discovered this restaurant on a previous trip through the suggetions of Yelp and knew we would be back. When you have a meal this good, you can't help but go again.
I ordered the Chicken Tan Tan Ramen. This picture may be slightly deceiving as the bowl looks tiny but believe me, that spoon is huge as is the bowl. This is not a light meal that will make you hungry an hour later - this a full fledged ramen meal that will fill you up.
Beneath the sliced chicken is a copious amount of perfectly cooked noodles and vegetables - this restaurant doesn't skimp on anything. The broth bursts with a variety of flavors that I can't quite describe but take what you know of the instant ramen and multiply the flavor by ten. It also has a nice texture, letting you know that this is not some watered down meal. This is the real thing. The waiters offer to fill your bowl with more broth as you eat in case you need more to go along with your remaining noodles and chicken. Wait, a restaurant that actually offers you a "refill" and doesn't charge? Oh yes. This place is that good. And the best part? When you leave, you are full, happy and only minus around $8 from your wallet.

YUMMM! This sounds so much better than I expected it to. Man I miss food other than Mexican.
Ooh...I have so been craving Japanese food recently. Think I'm going to the Japan Centre in Piccadilly for sushi tomorrow. You're going to love ramen in Japan.
Melanie, I miss Mexican food. It's impossible to find in London! Enjoy what you've got. :)
Melanie - It was really good! And you'll have lots of good varieties of food soon!
Alisha - I can't wait for the food! It's the main thing I'm looking forward to.
