Gomen — Restaurant in Stanton

Go forth, Go prosper, Gomen

LALALA Ramen pass stop #1

50% off spicy tonkotsu miso ramen

Deciding to lunch at Gomen during the designated LALALA Ramen pass hours, apparently I wasn't the only one. The place was packed with diners with the same idea. However, the wait time was only around 10 minutes, so it wasn't long before my slurpfest commenced.

Sitting at the counter, I couldn't wait to dive into my bowl of spicy tonkotsu miso ramen.

Of course, I had to add white & red pepper, along with chili oil to kick things up a notch to my liking.

The spicy tonkotsu miso ramen did not disappoint! Delicious broth, al dente noodles, a few slivers of pork and the rest of the gang warmed my tummy. Some people like to sweat out toxins in the sauna. I, however, like to sweat out toxins by eating spicy foods! The floodgates of my sweat glands opened up as I tore into each fiery spoonful of broth. My fellow ramen lovers with me at the counter were also sweating it out to the oldies with me ;p I would've preferred the egg to be runny, as opposed to hardboiled, but knowing that some ramen places charge extra for egg, it's only a minor gripe. Also, the amount of pork, while tasting good, seemed to be lacking. Of course, seeing how my bowl of ramen only cost $4.25 + tax, maybe that's the reason why for the apparently miniscule amount of meat.

I was as happy as a fly on dog poop, savoring each slurp & gulp of my piping hot bowl of ramen until I proudly registered myself as an upstanding member of the Clean Plate Club.

Service was sufficient, as tables were promptly cleaned & readied for waiting guests. Seating for 5 at the counter, with tables packed with ramen lovers throughout the rest of the restaurant. Parking is in a private lot & can be hard to come by, depending upon when you go.

Gomen, domo arigato! Your spicy tonkotsu miso ramen hit the spot just right! My first stop with my LALALA Ramen Pass was a winner! When I come back, and oh yes, I will be back, I'll have to order your highly regarded kakuni ramen. Until then, sayonara!

Gomen, a once beloved ramen joint, has unfortunately fallen from grace. Supposedly under new ownership, the restaurant has lost its touch. The ramen now tastes more bland than ever before, leaving me feeling unsatisfied after every meal. The broth now lacks depth and is no longer rich and full of miso flavor as it once was in the past.

One of the most disappointing aspects of the new Gomen is the increase in prices. This place had the best deal on ramen and was my go to pick in terms of both taste and value. With the price increase, there are far better options. Even at the old price, it is hard to justify this place.

On a positive note, the atmosphere remains cozy and inviting. The interior remains the same, if not nicer. However, this isn't enough to make up for the lackluster food and poor service.

Overall, I'm sad to say that Gomen no longer lives up to its former glory. While I wouldn't discourage others from trying it out, I can't recommend it with the same excitement as before. Three stars is a fair rating for a restaurant that now falls short of expectations. I likely will never return to this restaurant, which was once a very special...

I recently visited Gomen Ramen in Stanton and had an amazing experience. This cozy restaurant serves delicious Japanese Ramen, appetizers, and drinks. Despite being busy during lunchtime, the service was friendly and the food was so flavorful. They offer a variety of noodle choices including thin, thick, spinach, tofu, low-carb, and gluten-free noodles. I enjoyed their healthy options.

The menu include different types of broth like chicken, pork, and a veggie option. I loved the meat lover ramen with triple chasu as it was a generous portion and the soup was rich and flavorful. Additionally, they offer fried rice, udon, curry, and a variety of appetizers such as fried dumplings, takoyaki, and Karaage. The Karaage was especially good, perfectly fried and juicy.

The service was friendly, although the food did take a while to arrive. However, the delicious food made the...
