My wife and i arrived 30 min before closing, they seated us, gave us menus, offered us tea. Then someone comes from the kitchen and tells us the kitchen has closed and asks us to leave! Why even seat us in the first place if you are not gonna serve us? I have never experienced anything like this at a restaurant. Safe to say i am not coming back!!

Fish stinks with very low quality. Very pricy considering the food quality.Meshi is ok, but the carpaccio is awful. The fish smells bad and the sauce is terrible. Even you buy soy sauce from the supermarket is better.The unagi karate is also bad. The sauce is extremely salty and the unagi feels like from a microwave.Definitely NOT recommend.

Food is pretty good, service is terrible. I asked for water twice, and waited until almost competed most of food, still no water. Finally got water the third time I asked.Almost didn’t see waiter the entire course of our dinner, even when trying to check, waited long to finally find a waiter to get bill.

Decent spot but would recommend having few people to share the dishes with so you can try more things. They have a good selection of items to pick from. The pizza crust was very tasty but it lack fillings. Claypot was a decent size but the pork was a bit too tender. We also got the beef rolls but we didn’t enjoy it as much as it was very overcooked and had a weird texture.

Pros: creative dishes, innovative flavors, fast service, and it's easy to have a conversation despite being a pretty busy spot. Lots to choose from across vegetarian and not dishes. Easy and fun to share. The uni-scallop clay pot, with the dashi in particular, was a stand out. There's also PARKING (if you go early enough). All of this said, some dishes were lacking in flavor / refinement and came loaded with ingredients that were not disclosed on the menu (seaweed salad != anything close to a simple traditional seaweed / wakame salad). That said, I'd definitely go back - it's a nice spot removed from the madness of downtown Mountain View / Castro St. and there were many other things I'd like to try (I'll just ask many more questions to clarify ingredients next time).

Great vibe with authentic look to the restaurant, props to the comic books and sake bottles at the start of the front of the restaurant.The food selection was great, really enjoyed the scallops & squid. The chicken was a bit overcooked and a bit too much batter. Super weird that so many restaurants in the area close early but fyi kitchen closes at 8:30pm mid week.

Gochi's Tapas in Mountain View is a culinary delight that skillfully combines Japanese and fusion cuisine. The menu offers inventive dishes that tantalize the taste buds, from creative tapas to delectable rice bowlsThe standout feature is the tapas-style dining, allowing you to savor a variety of flavors. However, the use of QR codes for ordering may feel a bit unconventional. Despite this, the attentive staff ensures a smooth experience.The warm ambiance makes it perfect for any occasion. Gochi's Tapas is a must-visit for those seeking a unique dining adventure that fuses tradition and innovation in a cozy setting.
The food is delicious and very creative. That said, they informed us we had 90 minutes to eat at which point we had to leave. Seems awfully arrogant and pushy for such a pricey meal! Love the food, the customer service is awful. Eat at your own risk and keep an eye on your watch. Sound relaxing?
Hello Viewers,it's been a while since I re-visit Gochi Japanese restaurant. Gochi used to be my favorite Japanese restaurant in town. I love they are offering the some fusion style and non Bay Area traditional Japanese restaurant. I had a feeling all Bay Area sushi store are coming from the same master - Dragon Sushi Roll, Rainbow rolls, teriyaki chicken, sashimi plate, etc.this place offers different Japanese fusion cooking style such as Japanese dressing pizza, clay pot, and carpaccio beef. I enjoy these type of Izakaya style that goes along with the sake or wine instead of treat it as a full meals.if the group of people coming here and hoping for full Japanese meal, this is not for you. if you are coming to have sip of the drinks and tapas style, I will look no further.P.S - did I mention this place serve the foods way too fast? feels like it's missing the izakaya style.Paul

Food was overall really good. The menu selection is great! Hamachi Carpaccio and the Okonomiyaki Pizza were delicious. The service was not great and disappointed that it ruined the dining experience. Went Friday at 5:45 and was immediately told we have 70 minutes to have our meal. Then we sit down and choose our food but the server doesn’t come back to take our order so we wait and wait. We order and the food comes out pretty quickly. Another server comes by and tells us we have 30 minutes left and if we want to order more. And then we hear the table next to us being told, ok I have to clean the table for the next group! Here’s your check. So it was not relaxing and doesn’t make us want to go back. It’s a sit down restaurant and they are treating customers like they are at a ramen bar.Dietary restrictions: They are able to substitute ingredients
The food was ok - nothing really stands out. If I have to recommend it would be Tori Nasi Garlic (chicken /eggplant) and I would skip Kara Age(fried chicken) it was a bit dry. Everything was just まあまあ (so so) according to my Japanese friend.
Very Gud, liked it, will come again to this crazy fusion wowowowoowowowowoowowowowowowowowowowoowowowowo place like wow so cul
Nice Japanese restaurant. Beside their signature clay pot rice dishes, unagi karage is also a must try.
