This is the first time that we have been there. My girlfriend is Haitian and was looking for some good Haitian food. She said the food is authentic. I really enjoyed it. That’s the first time I’ve had Haitian food. The people that worked there are very nice. And the owner came to the table and spread some wonderful cheer. We will definitely be returning!

The food was delicious. I ordered the rasta pasta w/ chicken and shrimp and the Honey hot wings(They give you the whole wing which i loved) The atmosphere was cool and relaxed. I'll definitely be coming back to try out something else on the menu.

This was my second time having Hatian food but OMG!! Every dish on my plate was amazing from the ox tails and gravy, rice, plantain and even the pickliz. Will definitely be back soon, such a hidden gem.

I came in town from Maryland for a conference and stopped at Gou to eat with my hubby & son. Hubby is Haitian and we make it a point to look for Haitian restaurants everywhere we travel. Gou did not disappoint. Customer service and ambiance was in point. Kudos for making us feel welcome from the moment we entered. The food was well seasoned, hot & plentiful. My plantains were remade to be thin & crispy like I like them. Hubby & son had griot and I had the fried snapper. Excellent! If we are ever in the area again, we will be back.

Worst place to eat at. We waited 2hrs for our food and after an hour waiting they told us they were out of Mac n cheese. The waiter is not attentive, has an attitude, and no patience. The lemon drop drinks are horrible. We came from NY for an occasion and chose this place, smh!!! The $300 dollar bill was not worth it!

Food was awesome! So much flavor, large portion sizes, and rice and fish were so tender. I had the salmon platter and it was very good. There’s also a live DJ who plays music on weekend evenings as well as a bar.
