They really should mention that the kitchen closes at 8 PM. I drove all the way from Jersey just to get there, only to be told the kitchen was already closed. Super disappointing

Outstanding service and amazing food. 1,000/10 would go back again. Definitely would recommend. The vibe is cozy and the decor is very nice. The pricing was great for the quality and portions of the food. Me and my partner got pork buns to share (it comes with 4 buns), two main dishes (beef udon & curry noodles) plus some black and gold lava buns for less than $30/per person. The staff took care of us, they went above and beyond and were so accommodating. I’d definitely do another date night here ASAP, I loved every second of it and so did he!

I came with my family out of town and had a great time!! My brother loved the dragon ball z collection. The food and drinks were so good! I got 4 blind boxes and it was fun to open up surprise goodies. Staff was amazing and so friendly!
Definitely go if you want good food and like anime.

Goku Kitchen is a great Asian shop on Cedar St., in the Financial District. It’s a Dragon ball themed place, so lots of Son Goku imagery and collectibles straight from Japan. It’s fun and interesting just to check out the displays. If you’re a Dragon ball fan, then this is the place for you. Even though I work a block over, It was my first time there, and I have to say I was taken with how nice the atmosphere was. The staff, particularly, makes it so, as they’re very friendly and welcoming.
Their menu is pretty expansive, with lots of different noodle, dim sum, and gyoza options. I was there for their dons though, which they had many to choose from. I lived in both Tokyo and Osaka for a few years, and go back regularly. From those experiences I developed a passion for unagi-don, (amongst many other dishes), so I wanted to give it a try at Goku Kitchen. I’m glad I did because It was so good! I was actually surprised by how good it was. It had a slightly different flavor profile from what you’d typically get in Japan, but in this case it’s not a negative, as this don was slamin! The addition of green onions helped to make the dish pop. Take it from a self admitted Japanese food snob, if you like unagi, I promise you that you’ll love this don. I’m going back for sure, as I think I found a new fav.
Highly recommended!

Great food, great atmosphere. If you’re a dragon ball z fan, it’s a must do. My son loved food, the details on wall and the decor.
I loved it! My nephews and I wanted to check it out for awhile and we were not disappointed. The food we each ordered were delicious meals and the dessert was just as delicious. And even though the theme is Dragon Ball, I was surprised to find that the manager(owner?) was a Gundam fan like myself. He even gave me a Seven Sword Gundam as a gift after we talked about it for awhile. These guys love what they do and I hope they are there for a long time.

After traveling from Va, when we got there one hour before closing time, we’re denied service. They say only to go ! I do NOT recommend this place.

So I took my family to a Dragon Ball-themed restaurant to celebrate my 14-year-old son's birthday—and it happened to be my wife's birthday as well. I don’t know much about Dragon Ball Z, but my son is a huge anime and DBZ fan.
The restaurant was a bit small, but it was completely decked out in Dragon Ball decor. The menu was styled like a DBZ comic, and there were tons of action figures on display. The food was great, but what truly made the experience memorable for my son was the hostess/waitress, Kira.
We went on a weekday, but it was a holiday so schools were closed, and the place was a bit busy. Kira was working solo, serving customers outside, and honestly, if I were in her shoes, I’d have been overwhelmed. But she was full of energy, always smiling, and interacting with everyone to make sure they were having a great time. She even took the time to explain the menu to me when I didn’t understand some items.
My kids don't usually smile much, but they were enjoying themselves from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. One of the main reasons was Kira's service. He even came up to me and whispered that I should give her a well-deserved generous tip.
Even my 10-year-old, who’s usually picky about food, really enjoyed his meal especially the noodles. According to him, “It’s one of the best I’ve ever had.”
We’ll definitely be visiting the restaurant again. 5 out of 5!
I totally recommend it!! ✨️
