Super delicious sushi. The dine in experience was a little strange when we were brought a champagne bottle but no one opened it for us. Otherwise I had a great meal and good sake. I had the Hot Lava roll. Delish. My friends had the Salmon Lover Roll, Cali Roll sad Chicken Teriyaki. They loved theirs as well. We finished it off with delish mochi ice cream (Green Tea, Mango and Strawberry).

The dishes were quite good, and I really enjoyed the happy hour selection. Was easily able to fill up and get a few drinks in all from the happy hour menu. The staff was also very nice and polite. No complaints :)

Really enjoyed dinner here during first evening in Seattle! Sushi and tempura were extremely tasty, as was the seaweed salad and iced green tea. Service was calm and pleasant. One of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants I have ever been to ever!!

Really good Japanese food. Takoyaki were not the best in town, but still delicious. Yellowtail collar was meaty grilled and juicy. The lava and dragon rolls were exceptionally good. Cool hangout with good service.

Overall a good experience. The food was fresh and very delicious. The ambiance was fantastic and it was perfect that the building’s windows open to the outside on nice summer days.

Enjoyed dining here at Gokan. A good japanese restaurant to eat with family or friends. I brought my visiting friends for dinner. We all had a wonderful time. Staffs are friendly. You can ask for food suggestions or recommendation. Nice ambiance, clean and airy because it has glass sliding doors on all sides of the restaurant to open it to sidewalks. Food has good presentation, flavorful and delicious. Love pairing my food with hot sake. Must try the pork belly skewers. Its delicious! Prices are affordably reasonable. Coming back to this place for sure.

Got the Chicken karaage and the sushi pizza with salmon. The chicken karaage was very well done. The chicken was not too hard and the breading was just the right amount. The sushi pizza was good but the price for the amount of food is a bit steep for me.

Beautiful setting, great for a date. GET THE MONKEY BRAINS! Sushi was unique and wasn't over-done with toppings or sauces, it was just the right amount. I got the Poke Mon role which was refreshing. Dessert was delicious, I had the banana tempura and redbean ice cream along with mochi. Enjoy all the puppies that walk by! Prices were Seattle (high).
