Gochi Japanese Kitchen - Winter Garden

Pleasant surprise. Another good Japanese place in winter garden. Ate there and go. Great staff. Many vegan options. Good drinks. Reliable. What? Not to love?!

My son and I had such a wonderful experience tonight. The staff were all friendly and the food was amazing!! 10/10 definitely recommend! We?ve found our new go-to spot! Already looking forward to our next visit.

If you?re in the Winter Garden area and would like a truly delicious Japanese meal from a family run restaurant with friendly and attentive staff you really must stop by Gochi! If you?re not greeted at the door by Kyoko herself one of the servers will greet you and get you settled either at the sushi bar, family dining tables, or one of their stylish hot coal Japanese/Korean style barbecue grills. I?ve tried almost every style of cuisine they offer and each are meticulously prepared and delicious, but let?s start with the BBQ at the grill table. The grill tables are immaculately clean and stylishly appointed with gorgeous copper overhead grill vents. I ordered the marinated Kalbi, Ribeye and Pork Jowls ? with an assortment of veggies including onions and zucchini and highlighted by spicy Shishito Peppers. The owner Kyoko graciously came over to greet me and asked if I had ever tried this style of self cooking on a grill table over hot coals? I assured her I had. She smiled and politely guided me through my false bravado, stopping by every once in a while to make sure I didn?t overcook the steak or veggies. Listen to her advice! If you do you?ll have a really delicious experience! Their Tonkotsu Ramen is the best I?ve ever had. First off,their Chashu seared rolled pork is home made with love and tastes it! It rests on a bed of perfectly cooked whole wheat ramen with green onions and spices in a toothsome Tonkotsu broth. ? Don?t put any extra spices or hot even sauce in it. ? Their homemade bone broth is perfectly seasoned and evolves as you progress through the meal subtly changing and becoming a bit spicier as you reach the bottom of the bowl. I loved it! There are also a wide selection of entrees such as Beef and Chicken Teriyaki, Korean Short Ribs and Sushi! All the sushi I had there was fresh and had the firm texture and sweet ocean flavor that I look for. While the selection is limited, what they serve is perfectly prepared. The Conch and Beach clam were crunchy and sweet, and the BBQ Eel had crispy skin while still keeping the meat rich, savory/sweet and creamy. Over the weeks I was in the area, Gochi was my mainstay and always felt like coming home?if I lived in Japan! ??????????

We had a great lunch here, food was very fresh and well prepared. Service was also great. We stayed with the rolls and sashimi but will come back to try the other offerings they have.

We just went after a nice lunch for three. David, our server was very attentive, also with many other tables under his care. Cleanliness and ambience were notch. The quality and freshness of products and fish were not the same. Excellent over the board and highly recommended for a very reasonable and exciting meal! If you love sushi, get the sushi boat for two. Perfect value! This is my new week's place to eat. I'm trying her poke restaurant on the street this afternoon. All right!
