The Vegi White Broth Ramen is delicious and no salty flavor at all. Just the right amount of broccoli, spinach, corn & tofu in the white ramen soup with the not too soft noodles makes this a yummy dish even on hot days. Deyanira is fantastic, she greeted me right away when I walked in around 5:50pm on a Monday and 2 other people in there. Food didn't take long at all and she kept checking back on me to see if there was anything I needed. It's a medium size seating inside that can probably seat around 30 people and 3 big tables outside so it's pet friendly. Has a clean restroom inside and decorated nicely. They even have a kiosk outside to order something to go. Glad I tried this place after returning an Amazon product at Whole Foods. read more

A nice twist on a comfort food. I first heard about Gomaichi Ramen via Reddit. Gomaichi opened while the whole plaza's exterior was being renovated so it was difficult to find without any signage. I'm glad I found Gomaichi as it's one tasty unique bowl of ramen. I've tried their tonkotsu ramen as well as their tan tan men, which was a unique flavor profile. It's sesame broth based. Today, I opted to have the Sung Hon ramen, which is hot and sour. The first sip definitely got me as I almost coughed. Ha ha. I was able to stay strong and devoured the whole bowl. I also had the gyoza which were also tasty. Overall, the food was good and the service provided by Deyanira was great. Deyanira was friendly, polite, and cordial. I appreciate her friendly demeanor and positive attitude. If you're in the area and want to grab a nice bowl of ramen, stop by Gomaichi read more

Good local neighborhood spot for ramen. Went for lucnh and was able to grab a seat fairly easily as a single diner. Went for the Tan Tan Ramen which is the signature - spicy sesame broth with chasu and added an extra egg. The ramen is probably on the lighter side compared to all the ramen trend nowadays, with the sesame broth adding just a slight kick, wouldn't really say it is spicy. The sesame does add a depth you normally don't see. Chasu is probably the weakest of the ramen, while the egg was solid. Also got some kaarage which I really enjoyed and would get it again! Nice friendly service and easy in the plaza! read more

Server was sweet and kind. Their gyoza used a thicker skin so you won't get the typical crispy gyoza but regardless it's super juicy and delicious. Perhaps my favorite in the meal: I got their light tonkotsu with garlic oil. It honestly lacked flavor. It kinda felt like a glorified instant ramen. My husband got the tantan. That was the winner. I guess I should have known since their shop is named gomaichi. Their sesame is what they are proud of. The soup had so much more flavor. Next time I would try this or the chef's original. read more

You can join the waitlist through Yelp, though it wasn't necessary when we visited on a recent Saturday afternoon. Gomaichi is conveniently located in the same shopping center as Whole Foods, so there's plenty of shared parking available. I ordered the garlic tonkotsu ramen and added extra choy sum. The broth flavorful and the broth was hot in temperature, but surprisingly, I didn't taste much garlic. My husband decided to try the curry rice, but unfortunately, he found it a bit bland and underwhelming. I'd recommend sticking with the ramen here. Our group also shared a few appetizers, including the gyoza, miso eggplant, and cucumber salad. They complement well to our meal. The restaurant itself was bright, clean, and welcoming, and our waitress was friendly, attentive, and happy to answer questions. read more

Came here for lunch to cure our hangover and it was our first time trying this place. We brought our service dog with us; at first we were told no, but after showing his service dog ID, they welcomed us in, which we appreciated. The place itself is very clean and well-kept, with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere that immediately made us feel relaxed. The service was good; attentive and friendly throughout our visit. Now let's talk about the food... it was so, so good. Exactly what we needed; flavorful, satisfying, and honestly hit the spot perfectly. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. VERDICT: I WILL COMEBACK read more

I ordered ahead for pickup and it was ready right on time! I unfortunately was not a huge fan of ramen - Tan Tan Ramen Chashu. It was marketed as spicy but didn't find it spicy at all. The Chashu quality was also not great. It had a lot more fat than I've seen at other ramen places and looked pale/not cooked well. Unfortunately, will not be trying this again. read more

Fairly new spot. I had the TanTan ramen. Loved the noodle texture and the broth was rich without being salty. The Char Siu pork was tender without falling apart. Very attentive service by the staff. I need to come back to try their other ramens. Oh, I loved the spoon. It was a mini ladle making it a fun experience. read more

Gomaichi Ramen - Tan Tan Ramen Chashu - Ramen Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Hubby saw this new restaurant on Yelp and we came to dine here tonight. It's a little difficult to find since it is located in a corner of the Redondo Shores Shopping Center. If you are facing Whole Foods, head to the right of it. Parking is free and plentiful, but you may have to walk. The spaces are shared between all the businesses. There's a beautiful black and white mural. I was told that the Japanese portion represents the head chef's Japanese roots, the Hawaiian part is for their original location (Honolulu, HI), and the Hollywood, CA portion is for this location. I think it should have shown something unique to Redondo Beach, though. I looked up the meaning of the restaurant's name and basically it is translated to "Number 1 Sesame" or "First Sesame". The Tan Tan broth is Sesame based. We ordered: *Gyoza - scrumptious little dumplings packed with flavor *Small Salad - the dressing was very tasty *Tan Tan Ramen - hubby liked it, I just barely tasted it since I was eating my own bowl of ramen *Vegetarian Ramen with White Soy Broth - the flavor grew on me. It was a subtle creamy broth. I thoroughly enjoyed the veggies & tofu chunks. *Yuzu Cheesecake - very delectable! I think it was crustless. I really liked the thin layer of Yuzu. *Black Sesame Mochi - it was your typical grocery store ice cream mochi. Service was attentive & efficient. All the hot foods came out nice and hot while the cold foods came out at the proper temperatures. We both agreed we'd return. I'm sure we'll get the Gyoza & Salad again. read more

I love the service here the young lady helping me was incredibly friendly :) even from the moment I walked in, she made the whole meal feel welcoming. The restaurant itself has a very clean, bright atmosphere that's perfect for a focused lunch or a relaxed dinner. But....The standout here is definitely the broth--it has an incredible creamy texture that's rich and velvety without feeling heavy. You can tell they put a lot of time into developing that depth of flavor. Every spoonful was perfectly balanced by the fresh scallions, and the slight heat from the peppers. If you appreciate a ramen broth with real body and soul, Gomaichi is a must-visit. read more

Gomaichi Ramen - Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This restaurant was very clean and almost empty on a Thursday night, which we were happy about. I brought my husband here for his birthday since his favorite food is ramen. I read the description that it would be Hawaiian ramen, which sounds interesting! The unfortunate thing is that we have tried far too many ramen restaurants...and just a lot of restaurants in general. So we have high standards. For flavor, we give the ramen we tried a 4/10. It was very bland and not flavorful. We had to put some of everything they had on the table on the ramen to make it a 5/10. The appetizers (spicy cucumber and edamame) were very basic, and the spicy cucumber was very much soaked in vinegar. The service was very good though and the staff was welcoming and nice. The food was hot and fresh. Due to the lack of flavor though, we will never come back here again. read more

Surprised this place isn't more popular on a weekend. It's not top tier like say Ippudo or Hino Nori but it measures up to the neighborhood spots in Gardena or Torrance like Santouka or even Shinshengumi. The ambience/kitchen equipment is more Americanized as is the staff. Perhaps that's the difference maker. But the staff is nice and the level of service is there. So it's a yes for me when in the area. read more

This some of the best ramen we have had in a very long time! The gyoza tasted handmade and it was probably my favorite thing on the menu. It is a must if you are coming here. Don't skip on it. My husband loved the California roll so much he had to get a second plate of it. Everything tasted handmade and the flavors were so good. We were completely stuffed. The place is super clean and modern and really transports you. I think what topped off our experience was the service. Everyone was extremely helpful and kind and attentive. This is now our new go to spot! read more

Gomaichi Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Well, I don't like leaving NON 5 star reviews. This place is pretty "meh". The only really good Tan Tan I've had was from the since shuttered ChinMaYa where Jidaya is, and a small place in Manhattan Beach, that is gone. I was hoping this would satisfy my desire for the dish, but to me, the best are Jidaya and Japonica. BUT, neither are as good as the two I mentioned up top. If I want this dish, I have to travel to Killer Noodle on Sawtelle. This place is expensive too. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work." read more

Hello and Happy Grand Opening Gomaichi Ramen! It is no secret that I love ramen and I was so excited to learn that there is a new ramen spot in Redondo Beach. Today was their official grand opening and there was lots of fun, prizes and good food! For today's Grand Opening; Gomaichi Ramen had a fun spin the wheel game that featured a lot of good prizes like free ramen, free appetizers and discounted meals. Service was spot on despite them being pretty busy during the grand opening. They were very efficient and we got seated quickly. My friend and I each got a ramen. I got the Tan Tan Ramen ($17.95) and my friend got the Tonkotsu Light ($17.95). One of the things that I liked right away is that you can choose the main meat or veggie for your ramen. They have options of Minced Pork, Char Siu Pork, Chicken, Wakame Seaweed or Vegetables. Since Tan Tan Ramen typically comes with Minced Pork; I decided to choose that. The Tan Tan Ramen was great! It comes with the Chef's signature sesame based broth. I really enjoyed the soup. It had the perfect nutty flavor with the just the right hint of spice. Though it wasn't needed because the ramen was already quite flavorful; I added a bit of chili oil just for little more fire. Last but not least I loved the minced pork and the flavored egg. That flavored egg is true chef's kiss! This whole ramen was so tasty and I was quite pleased with my ramen of choice. I also tried my friend's Tonkotsu Light and loved the creamy, light pork bone based broth. The Tonkotsu Light definitely is on my list to get for a future visit. I will definitely be back! This ramen enthusiast is so happy to have a new ramen spot in Redondo Beach! Congrats on the grand opening Gomaichi Ramen! read more

I was excited to try this new ramen spot, especially given the high ratings. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and was underwhelmed. The broth was very bland, char siu pork had no seasoning and flavor to it. I also have never seen ramen with ginger on top before. Overall, I didn't think it really stood out at all. I really hate to give a mediocre rating because the service was great and the workers were very nice but unfortunately don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Gomaichi Ramen - Tonkatsu ramen with egg added - Ramen Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Came here twice during their soft opening to try the ramen--because once just wasn't enough. Nestled in the corner of the Redondo Shores shopping center, it's easy to miss with all the construction. They've got locations in Oahu and Japan, so you know they mean business. For a small space, they've made it work--clean, cozy, airy, and bright. We tried the char siu tan tan, sung hon men, and shoyu ramen, plus the karaage and spicy cucumbers. The karaage was crispy and delish! Appreciated the handmade noodles and the flavorful broth along with the char siu. Portion sizes? Just right--not too little, not a food coma, but juuust enough to leave you happy. Service was attentive and helpful! A solid ramen spot close by, especially perfect for those colder days when you need a hug in a bowl. read more

New restaurant in Redondo beach, went for their soft opening, kind of hard to find because it's still under construction, but when we found it, the place was super cute. We ordered the Tonkatsu ramen and the Sung Hon Men, along with char siu rice on the side and chicken. This place is still under soft opening but they still let us try them out, servers were friendly and gave us recommendations on what to try as they are still new. Definitely try this place out! read more

I've been rocking with Gomaichi since back when it was in Honolulu -- a loyal patron from 2003 until they closed in 2018. When they shut their doors, I still had to get my TanTan fix at Menchanko-Tei, where the recipe lived on. I used to work at a sneaker shop just a few doors down, and Gomaichi was the go-to spot for me. I've been in the South Bay for 18 years, always hunting for solid ramen out here, so seeing Gomaichi pop back up on PCH had me trippin -- a true favorite from my past opening right in my area. Love the new shop and the island mash up mural. Their TanTan men is still my top pick, and I always combo it with the Banbanji chicken. Don't sleep, y'all -- the ramen here is great.Shout out and Aloha to Mrs. Reiko and Hiro Kimura, so stoked that your still out here serving great ramen-Woes aka Panda artist. read more

Gomachi Ramen has officially become my absolute favorite ramen spot within walking distance. Maybe it's because it's in Hawaii and I'm partial (lol kidding), but honestly--it's just that good. The service here is always warm and attentive. It never feels overwhelmingly busy, which means the staff actually take the time to remember regulars--like me. That personal touch goes a long way. My go-to is the Tantanmen ramen--rich, flavorful, and I always order it extra spicy. They also have this special sour ramen (forgive me, I always forget the exact name) that's a chef's specialty, and it hits the perfect balance of spicy and sour. It's seriously addictive. On the side, I have to get the spicy cucumber pickles--trust me, they're to die for. While they don't have a full bar, I'm not docking a star because their sake, beer, and wine list is solid and reasonably priced. Everything pairs perfectly with the food. 100% I'm a regular now, and I couldn't be happier about it. I stopped posting reviews on Yelp for a while (long story), but I wanted to start back up with this one because Gomachi deserves the love. read more

update Tried the tonkotsu light, rightfully named. Soup - 2.5 (it is very light, borderline bland) I think its due to garnish. Noodle - 5 , firm and tasty, non-traditional noodle for tonkotsu but i thought went well Charsiu or charshu チャシュー 1.5 to 2 * the soup is light, imho there needs to be something that has コク, since the chashuu was bland, it taste bland in general egg - 5 nicely done and perfect Probably wont order tonkotsu next time around. ‍ Yuzu cake - 3 (tasted more lemon then the yuzu fragrance), texture creamy but lemon was but too much Maybe it was our table only but many of the sauces were near empty. chicken appetizer was good, looks to be goma and probably peanut with sauce. I would personally cook the white seasame to slightly brown to get better fragrance (personal opinion) Also cucumber/chicken arrangement presentation was bit rough and disorganized. Maybe seperating it, and sauce in the side. Waiting time 5 min (2 other parties) read more

Had the Sung Hon spicy and sour ramen with chicken and it was really impressive. The balance of spicy and sour flavors was spot on - not too overwhelming but definitely packed with flavor. The chicken was well-prepared and tender, and the broth had great depth. I've tried several ramen spots in the area, and this definitely stands out as the best I've had. The quality is noticeably higher than other places around here. Everything from the noodle texture to the seasoning was well-executed. If you're looking for good ramen in the area, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. The Sung Hon spicy and sour with chicken is a solid choice that delivers on both flavor and quality. Will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. Service and Ambience were humble and excellent. read more

Saw the good reviews and decided to try this place out. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Tl;dr the ramen tasted very "Americanized", not authentic at all. Everything tasted very mediocre (fine but not good) and probably adjusted to fit in. We ordered: - Tonkatsu ramen: broth only lightly tasted like pork, no depth of flavor tonkatsu broth should have. Charsui was basically just boiled pork belly, no flavor. - Tan Tan Men: tasted like the tonkatsu ramen (flavorless light broth) with a hint of spicyness and nuttiness... nothing special - Cucumber salad: too heavy on rice vinegar - Karaage: standard Service and ambiance was great though. On the pricier side as well. We would not recommend. I would recommend going to Torrance or Gardena for some authentic ramen instead! read more

It was my mom and I's first time at this ramen restaurant yesterday. I ordered a regular bowl of Tonkotsu ramen and she ordered a side of gyoza, karaage, and a small chashu bowl. I've got to say, everything impressed me!! The gyoza had the perfect crispy edge to it, making it a perfect bite. The karaage chicken was SO crunchy and I loved the sauce they pair with it (I believe the server said it was some kind of unagi sauce? Don't quote me on that). The chashu bowl had a slight kick to it but the spices and tender meat blended nicely together. I was genuinely surprised by the texture of the noodles. They specialize in a specific cooking style of the noodles and it was definitely different than most ramen noodles, but so tasty. The noodles are a bit "chewier" but I preferred it that way. They will also cook it to your satisfaction if you want them less chewy. The service was also very good. We came on a Monday night and were sat right away. We had two nice young ladies who were attentive and very friendly (even gave us some compliments ). She also explained there was a rewards program if we were interested and ofc we said yes. We'll definitely be back here in the near future. read more

We love eating here! One of the things that stands out about this restaurant is the nice take out bags that they give you! It's a small detail, but it absolutely makes this ramen spot memorable, I appreciate that they spend a little more on these bags to set themselves apart. The ramen is great, though it would be nice to have a slighter larger portion since it is a little more expensive than other ramen restaurants. The california rolls here are tastier than you'd think! My family and I have had great interactions with the staff. I wonder if the spot would be more popular if they weren't in the corner of the plaza! read more

I had the tonkotsu light char siu, and for the $18 bowl it was a lot of food! Big pieces of char siu, lots of noodles and bamboos. I have to say the broth really is light, and if you want a stronger tasting broth, I'd suggest the tan tan ramen. I'd say the food is overall a 3.5/5, but I rounded up to an overall 4 because the service is really nice and they try hard. Overall, I'd come back and try some of the other ramen. read more

I only tried the fried chicken. It was great and very unique. It was not like an karaage ive had before. That being said I think i personally prefer normal karaage. I must admit the menu confused me. Ithink your supposed to order the grilled chicken (which they warn you takes 20 mins to prepare) and snack on appetizers while you wait. Fast service. Not that noisy but possibly could be, had sorta a bar and grill vibe read more

Cute ramen place in the shopping center! The tonkotsu ramen was really good. Noodles were chewy and delicious and the broth was milky and good. The char siu pork was lacking in flavor a little bit and was not the most tender, but everything else was delicious. The chicken skewers were amazing! Would definitely order both again. Tonkotsu broth was better than the tan tan, but tan tan was still good. Will hopefully be back soon. Definitely worth trying if you haven't! read more

Gomaichi Ramen has friendly staff. They allowed our non service miniature dachshund to join us for dinner. I ordered the tonkutso garlic, yuzu cheesecake, kaarage chicken and the gyoza. I wished my ramen tasted like garlic. Might have been an error from the kitchen. Yuzu cheesecake was great! I've had yuzu as drinks and those were great too. I'm a big fan!

I was hesitant to join a group of friends for lunch as I'm not a big fan of ramen but I'm glad I decided to get this place a try. I chose the Sung Hon Men soup base which was a good balance of spicy and sour and different from the traditional soup bases I've tried in the past. The ramen noodles were freshly made, soft yet still maintained a nice chew and bounce to it. It was a very comforting meal but a little pricier than I expected for ramen. read more

Service 11/10. Food 10/10 We stopped in for a to go order. However while we waited we enjoyed some sake and a beer. They brought us a tester of chicken skewers to see what we thought for a new menu item. My 18m old Is picky and loved them! He ate all the testers so we asked to order more and we would pay. They were very nice and made an order for us. Tan Tan ramen is delicious and full of flavor. The egg is YUM! Gyoza delicious. The cold chicken dish in sesame sauce (can't remember the name) also really good! Tonkatsu was meh but we typically aren't fans of that flavor to begin with. My husband just ordered it to try. So glad they're close by. We're picky with ramen so now we have a new place we enjoy! read more

Stand-out Ramen place! We'll be returning for sure! Very clean & bright restaurant in an upscale plaza. Service was fast & professional.

Tonkotsu Ramen was a hit for my husband. Noodles seem like they're imported from japan - very authentic. Highly recommend. read more
