Chai Chaowasaree owner and Chef of Chef Chai at Pacifica Honolulu is recognized as one of Hawaii’s top Hawaii Regional Cuisine chefs. Known for fusing fresh Hawaii ingredients with the exotic flavors of Asia, Chef Chai has created a culinary style that reflects the cultural diversity of Oahu and the Hawaiian Islands.

To further strengthen the partnership with Hawaii’s local farmers and fishermen, Chef Chai co-founded Hawaii Island Chefs (HIC), the second generation of Hawaii Regional Cuisine Chefs. This group of HIC chefs is on a mission to provide the world with the best of Hawaii’s diverse culinary resources from the culture of the people and the bounty of the land and sea.

Chef Chai is constantly seeking out new spices and ingredients at Oahu’s farmers markets and in Honolulu’s Chinatown, which brings back childhood memories of shopping the local markets in Bangkok to find the freshest ingredients for his family’s popular restaurant. His mastery at blending flavors are shown in many of his signature dishes including Fresh Ahi Katsu with Tomato Mango Salsa Wasabi Curry Sauce, Kataifi and Macadamia Nut Encrusted Black Tiger Prawn Rainbow Salad with Tangerine Vinaigrette, Thai Style Oxtail Soup, and Fresh Mahi Mahi with Thai Red Curry Sauce.

Chai's restaurants also have been critiqued and recommended by many international magazines, from Bon Appetite, Brides, Sunset, Cooking Light, Travel & Leisure to Gourmet Magazine and many more.

Goma Tei Ramen (International Market Place)

Restaurant Week Hawaii Menu coming soon!

For over 10 years, we primarily serve ramen, especially well known for our superior Tan Tan ramen, which is a Japanese‐Chinese hybrid of spicy sesame‐seasoned ramen. We also serve other types of ramen, including Shoyu and Sunho Ramen, as well as other Japanese and Chinese dishes, such as chicken Tatsutaage and Mapo Tofu. Our recipes are developed with considerations given to the health and nutritional needs of our customers together with flavorful taste. Our clear soup broth is homemade and considered low sodium and low fat. Tan Tan base uses the traditional stone grinder to make sesame sauce, which is high in unsaturated fat and is good for cardiovascular health.

At Goma Tei Ramen, we believe that ramen has no boundaries. It is as diverse as the people who love them and the people who prepare them. We will continue to strive to be a ramen restaurant that customers keep coming back to.
