A very large menu with many tasty options, with very pleasant staff and excellent service. In addition to the hard tofu ramen, my table guest ordered an appetizer of tofu that was spicy and quite delicious. I plan to come back! Updated from previous review on 2025-02-13

Gokoku has never missed!! We always get (2) orders of the not chicken skewers bc the first time we went we only got one and that was not enough lol, they are a must! Sushi rolls are always a hit no matter which one and always come out so fast idk how they do it. Last night I tried the teriyaki rice dish and that was also amazing! I wanted to switch it up from getting ramen and was not disappointed. (ps their ramen also goes hard🔥👊🏽🌱)

So many items on the menu!!!! Loved all the items we picked, generous portions and great service!

I’ve never been here and had great customer service. It’s unfortunate because. They serve one of my favorite food items. I only give the food 4 stars because it’s not consistent. If you order late enough the item I love can be burnt and soggy. It doesn’t always taste the same even though it’s “chef’s favorite”. Staff is so rude and not welcoming.

I really like that there is an extremely robust menu with a lot of fun options. The portions are very big, so you don't need to order as much as you might at other sushi places. The food quality is okay, pretty tasty but there are better places out there, but I've only had their sushi (I've been here twice now) and their ramen might be much better.
Also wasn't really a big fan of the bao, as the bun itself was pretty tough and chewy. Yheir tendency to serve certain rolls topped with a pile of fried food is also a little odd and excessive to me haha. The spicy tuna crispy rice is probably my favorite item. The volcano roll is also pretty good! I'd come here again since it's a fun place to take others to.

Felt very unwelcome here. Empty restaurant after the lunch rush and I can't sit at a 4 top. Didn't even ask me if I was expecting more ppl. Just assumed. Prices have increased yet again and the food is salty. Won't be back.

I didn't like the food. The harsh white ceiling lights make the dining experience less pleasant, and the staff uses cleaning products with a strong smell that takes away from the enjoyment of the meal

Love the spicy pho! Can't go wrong with the sushi either Updated from previous review on 2024-12-01

The hard tofu, Ramen was really good. The flavors and veggies paired really good together. The fried cauliflower was lacking. It was covered in way too much batter and the cauliflower was missing from the flavor. The personnel seemed to have forgotten that my wife and I were even there simply because I chose to sit outside. The music inside was way too loud for such a small place. Will I try this place again? Of course, I will always give a place a second opportunity to make it right and change my mind.

Food was okay but everything seemed a bit off--server was apologizing about the dishes after looking at them despite us not complaining (???), WAAAY too spicy for requesting medium
