Gozen Japanese Restaurant

We felt welcomed, respected, and satisfied.

Went for the first time food was good but service was pretty bad we were gonna order more sushi even told the waitress but after we got our food a short time later like 10 minutes we got the bill not even how we doing would you like anything else. Probably best to get Togo. Not my best sushi experience prefer Samurai in Hanford

Went here for Father’s Day with our 4 kids and everyone loved it! Food was great and so was the chef.

Always a great experience. Delicious food and comfy atmosphere.

Came here 2 times so far. Wait time at lunch when they first open was a bit long, I'm guessing they were short staff. We waited about 15 mins for a table alongside 2 other people. Figure if you open there should be tables and servers ready to take customers especially coming in a lunch break.
Anyway service/server (after seating) was good and food was good. Their spicy dumplings are a great appetizer! However, last time I ordered raw oysters and they were good, but not too clean. I grabbed one and it still had mud on the corner of the shell but not in the oysters, improvise and grabbed on the sides to eat. Other than that the server and service was good and so was the food.

I love this place!! Even tho I was forgotten.. Love the teppanyaki.. I go every year on my anniversary and birthday..

We loved going to Gozens in Visalia but today there was a cockroach running across our table while our cook was cooking our teppanyaki. Not sure I can go back.

The food was good and so was the service. My kids loved the fish tanks. Parking was a breeze & seating was comfortable. The flooring looked fresh as well.

Parking: We had plenty of space to park.

Kid-friendliness: Kids wanted to look at the fish tanks around the restaurant, and the staff was personable and friendly.

First time coming here and it definitely won’t be my last. This place is very welcoming g and the service is amazing! The appetizers were delicious and the sushi ?10/10! I will definitely be back soon.

Parking: I went around 11:am on Wednesday so I didn’t struggle to park but when it gets busy I’m pretty sure parking will be a little hard.

The reason I'm giving this place one star is because it took an hour for the cook to get to our counter to cook our food. He also cooked our fried rice first and we stuffed ourselves with rice and lastly he cooked our chicken and vegetables. By the time he cooked our chicken and vegetables we hadn't even had our fill of rice. They charged us 17% as a tip and the service was awful and they still demand a tip without even asking for it. I will never go back there. We paid $498.89 to fill ourselves with rice and they charged us $66.81 as a tip. That's a rip-off.

Went here on a Saturday evening. Place was busy. Parking wasn't too hard to find. We had prior reservations for their teppanyaki.

We were a party of 12. Had drinks at the bar prior to the food. Bartenders were nice. Ordered a Pineapple Ice and it was pretty good.

Our cook for the night was funny, entertaining and interactive. I ordered a seafood combo which consisted of shrimp, scallop and calamari. The sides were salad and miso soup. The salad was very basic. Tasted like the pre-packaged salad you find at the store. The miso soup was good. I ordered garlic fried rice with extra garlic and it was very delicious. The garlic is in the butter, not actual diced garlic. The seafood was cooked well and full of flavor.

Overall, a great teppanyaki experience. Highly recommend this for a big party.
