Go Shi Go

Located across the street from Wal-Mart on Keeaumoku Street, this noodle shop captures the ambiance of age-old tradition. Go Shi Go prides itself in its homemade noodles. Each day--a new day--a new variety of noodle.

Ambiance:
A cozy shop, be sure to get there early to avoid the queue. We got there around 6:00, and, by the time we left, it was crowded.

Service:
The food came in a reasonable amount of time, and the waitress (a one person team) was very friendly. However, because of the influx of customers, trying to pay for the bill was time-consuming.

Food:
We ate two varieties of cold noodle udon: Hiyashi Chuka Udon, and Natto Udon.

• Hiyashi Chuka Udon: Deelicious. It was refreshing, and a nice complement to the Natto Udon. It consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, chicken, wakame, half of a hard-boiled egg, and a pleasant dressing-sauce of sesame seeds and vinegar.
  
• Natto Udon: If you like slime, this dish is for you. Natto, yamaimo (mountain yam/tororo), soft-boiled egg, bonito flakes, and a garden of green onions. The soup base didn't overwhelm the overall taste, and allowed the other ingredients to shine.

The noodles were slightly thinner than what is served at other restaurants, and had a fresher taste--more resilient texture.

Value:
Our bill, with the tip, was in the mid-twenties. Not bad for homemade noodles.

Overall Impression:
With the exception of the slower service in the later half of our meal, we enjoyed Go Shi Go. A quaint place that makes its own noodles, I can tip my hat to that.
