Tuna salads is not fresh and cooked half way and so much fish smells and salad leaves rotten.
Tuna poky was not fresh at all and put full of sesame oil to remove rotten smells.
Coke was too old and no sparking because poured by big plastic bottle and coconut drink was poured by big paper bag,… just like mixed water with coconut.
I just waste money and time. I am questioning who gave 4.8 review??? Maybe family or friends???
Never ever go again!!!!

Loved our meals! Excellent, well balanced, food full of flavor and fresh. Lots of care and experience show in these dishes. Yum. A gem tucked away in Saratoga.

The salad with tataki here is so good. I went for brunch on the weekend and had the recommended dishes. Everything was very tasty. I want to visit again.

An amazing food journey. Brunch is my usual jam and it always satisfies. Finally had the burger and was impressed. I took one to go as well and after refrigerating it and then re-toasting/re-heating was shocked at how great it was! :-p. Can’t wait to go back for this week’s chef’s set menu!

We've been talking about trying Goga for a while now and am I glad we did! We were their first OpenTable reservation :) we showed up and did to a glitch they didn't have us on the books, but no worries at all.. they shifted some tables around and we were seated.
This was a prefix menu, which made ordering super easy.. and much to our surprise.. such an amazing choices of flavors and textures. We started with a duck appetizer salad, followed by cod (OMG sooooo good) topped with lamb. Honestly, it was all made to perfection.
There is a wine and beer menu available.. minimal choice. We were recommended pinot with dinner.. it was fine.. not amazing as the food.
Dessert was simple and delicious!! I could've had two 😁
The staff were attentive enough (i.e. not annoying) and very nice. Our water was consistently filled, utensils changed between meals, etc.
The ambiance of the restaurant is fine. Would be so much better with better, warmer lighting. Although the kitchen is semi open to the space, there wasn't too much noise nor smell to be distracting.
Overall, gem of a find.. must try!! We'll be back for sure!!

Hidden gem. The food is fine dining quality for half the price of the more famous places.

My husband and I went for a belated Valentine’s Day celebration and had an amazing experience!
Most importantly, the food was all so delicious - I don’t remember the exact menu, but it included crab wrapped in tuna with garnish and sauces, truffle and mushroom ravioli, filet mignon and lobster tail with potato puree, and a chocolate mousse with cookie crumbs and strawberries.
The service was great. Helen and Chef Brad were both friendly and attentive without hovering and went the extra mile to help us enjoy our meal. We hope to return soon!

I wanted to love it because the food was delicious, but service was ridiculously slow: half hour to get some breakfast for half our table of 6 the second half took an extra 10 minutes.... Tiny plates are really expensive. Overall not worth it.

So pleased to have discovered GOGA. Came here for team dinner and the food was fantastic. Michelin Star quality for reasonable pricing. Especially loved the tuna dish 😋
The little steak impressed us. The seafood salad, and smoked salmon are also very good. The restaurant is a small one behind a UPS store.

The restaurant only offered a set menu, and while it’s a small family-run establishment with friendly owners, the food and service were slower than expected due to limited staff. The clam chowder soup was delicious, but unfortunately, the rest of the dishes didn’t live up to expectations. The beef portion was disappointing, as it was mostly fat and tendons with little actual meat, and the cut I received was already small to begin with. For dessert, I received a tiny slice, much smaller compared to what other customers were served.

Michelin star quality and creativity with personal attention from the chef. Precise and delicious preparation and presentation. The sauces, textures and flavors pair so nicely with their wines. The menu changes every week, but the burger is fantastic if you can’t handle the excellence of the tasting menu. Sit at the bar. Ask for wine pairing recommendations. Very well priced and a delight that keeps me and all my friends coming back for more. The atmosphere is chef-to-customer focused, and it’s a highlight you can’t find anywhere else.

A true hidden gem nestled in the Saratoga downtown!
We went for a brunch and had a Breakfast Taco and an Avocado Sourdough Toast. Both were beyond amazing. The food here just exudes excellence and you can see how passionately and freshly it's been prepared. The chef (i heard a highly experienced one) goes above and beyond to ensure a mouth watering experience with every dish, including a cup of latte that's just made to perfection.
I can see that this place would soon earn itself a Michelin star or two.
