" First time at Gokumi, and I have to say it exceeded my expectations! The ramen was definitely among the best I've had in California, and I've tried a lot. The yakitori selection is truly impressive and they use high-quality ingredients. The ambiance was great; felt very much like a homey Japanese spot. Service was attentive, but at times seemed a little overwhelmed when the crowd picked up. Overall, a superb evening and I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Gokumi really impressed me with both the quality of their food and the overall experience. The ramen was very well done, and the yakitori was beautifully grilled. The atmosphere was cozy, making for a perfect dinner setting. My only complaint would be the portion sizes; I wish they were a bit heartier for the price. Nevertheless, I would certainly come back for more delicious ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first visit to Gokumi, and I was impressed! The atmosphere felt authentically Japanese, and the food tasted fantastic. The broth in my ramen was rich and flavorful, and I loved the chewy noodles. For a delightful twist, I opted for their grilled wagyu yakitori, which melted in my mouth. The service was friendly, and while the prices were slightly higher than average, I felt the quality matched. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon Gokumi while searching for ramen around the area, and I'm so glad I did! Everything we ordered, from the yakitori to the various ramen, showcased high-quality ingredients. The ambiance was cozy, and the buzz of chatter added to the dining experience. I was especially impressed by the authentic taste that reminded me of meals I had while traveling in Japan. I will definitely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but I must admit I was slightly disappointed. The ramen was good but didn't quite live up to the hype, and I found the service to be a tad slow despite being friendly. However, the ambiance was pleasant and the yakitori options were interesting. I might give it another try, hoping for a better experience next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, my experience at Gokumi Ramen was delightful, yet some aspects fell short of my expectations. The ramen was quite tasty, and the broth was rich and flavorful, but the portion sizes could improve; I left still a bit hungry. The ambiance was welcoming, and the staff was very friendly, providing top-notch service. However, I must mention that the spicy tonkotsu ramen didn't pack the punch I was hoping for. Overall, a solid experience, but I believe there's room for better portion management. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great lunch at Gokumi. The ramen was superb, exactly what I was craving on a chilly day. The broth was flavorful and comforting, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience enjoyable. I decided to try a variety of yakitori as well, and while they were good, the ramen was definitely the star. Overall, a lovely dining experience, and I'm looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)
