Overpriced for what you get / small portions. Food was generally tasty but not notably so. Asked for shrimp sauce and was given a small bit only to find out later on they charged us $.75 for it. Apparently making a change in a dish asking for all carrots is another dollar. A lot of nickel and dime treatment. Save yourself the money and the disappointment and go to Pei Wei or somewhere else where they know customer service and don’t up charge you for everything.
Pleasant surprise. Another good Japanese place in winter garden. Ate there and to go. Awesome staff. Lots of vegan options. Good drinks. Affordable. What’s not to love?!
Best sushi this side of Japan. Tremendous variety only eclipsed by the quality of their food. My go to restaurant for a quick bite or large gathering. Always exceeds my expectations.
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.
Went on a Saturday evening to find some good sushi. I didn't have a reservation, but didn't need one as it was not crowded at all. I was invited to sit in the sushi bar. I scanned the qr code to get the menu, and decided with the chirashi bowl. It came in a pretty quick time, and had an ample amount of various pieces of fish as well as cucumber. However, I noticed that it was missing some fish eggs and salad that I thought would come before my meal. When mentioned, I was immediately given my salad and provided a very nice amount of fish eggs for my chirashi. I did enjoy my chirashi with the fish being fresh and plentiful. The rice was warm and the cucumbers added a nice crunch. I also wished the wasabi and ginger came on the side instead of directly on the bowl. But the presentation of the chirashi was very nice. For 24 dollars, it was a good value.The service from my server was prompt and friendly. Other than the minor mishaps that were previously mentioned, they were quick and helpful in responding. The atmosphere is pretty casual and quiet, with soft rock music in the background. I did recall seeing tables for hot pot as well as a bar for drinks.Gochi is located in a strip mall in Winter Garden not too far from the downtown area. There is an Aldi and a church in that plaza as well. Overall, it was worth the drive for a good chirashi.
If I could I would give no stars. The first time we went there, it was ok, so I decided to give it a second chance. And that was a disaster! The yakisoba was inedible, it seemed reheated, with a strange flavor, I took a bite and put the plate away. We ordered plain noodle, without sauce, so there's no mistake but... it came sprinkled with pepper! We returned it. A type of sushi with only rice, no seaweed, came almost empty, had a tiny piece of fish and a lot of rice. And to complete the meal, the little glass of orange juice was fill half with ice. The manager came to the table and said if I wanted a full glass of juice I would be charged double. And the prices are super expensive for what they offer.I will never go back to this horrible place.
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! ??????????

Service is A+Food A+ as wellI was there with my co- workers - they have a separate room(banquet room) for us to give us privacy - everything was awesome
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.
