Reviews for Gochi Cupertino in Cupertino, CA
Good vibe and Japanese decor and dining experience. However the food was pretty mediocre. I personally felt like I was... overpaying for the food. I was expecting higher end fine food at this price. The potato cheese gratin looks like something Icould make at home. Read more
Tucked away in a quiet plaza, Gochi is a solid option for Japanese tapas! We tried: - Yofu Yakko: this seemed like a fusion... take on caprese salad with shiso replacing basil and tofu replacing mozzarella. The idea was good, but the slices of eachingredient created awkwardly sized bites. - Yuzu Tori: this was delicious and the sauce was neither too sour, salty, or sweet.The grilled flavor of the chicken really came through. - Yuzu Kamo: I liked the chicken version better, but there is no gameyflavors here. The salsa gives an extra touch of freshness. - Gyutan Shioyaki: - Tororo Udon: it's okay, but the tororo didn't dowell in the hot soup and quickly dispersed. I would try the cold version next time. - Yaki Onigiri: the absolute star of theshow! The onigiri is so meticulously grilled that the crunch is so crispy and the aroma is so nutty. I got the salmon mayotopping but would opt for a plain version next time. After enjoying a couple bites, I put this in the leftover udon dashi soupfor an almost ochazuke and it was amazing! ???? - Kani Cream Gratin: this was alright, the flavors of crab didn't really comethrough for me here. - Sweet potato custard: it was a tough decision between this or matcha creme brulee, but I'm glad I wentwith this. The contrast of the cold ice cream with the warm custard was excellent. The flavors of custard and the sweet potatoworked well, and the touch of mint was refreshing. I'm definitely coming back to try more things, but also to get anotherserving of those crunchy rice balls! Parking is pretty easy here. Read more
Ceviche: 3/5 average, tiny portion. Hamachi cp: 4/5, a little overcharged but fresh. Mentaiko pizza: 4/5, very crunchy but too... much mushrooms, you can't taste anything else. Grilled beef tone: 1/5, don't order it. Also service is kinda slow, we had towait for half an hour, and they only allow you to dine for 1.5 hrs. Read more
The environment was really classic and the service was great! The food was decent and reasonably priced. They have a wide... variety of menu items. All the things we ordered was good. Read more
Honestly, this place has really good atmosphere and ambiance which is perfect for a dinner date. They have both regular seating... area and the Japanese style with tatami floor dining area. However, that?s pretty much it.. Food wise - presentation was 4 outof 5 and taste was pretty mediocre in my opinion (3/5). They also never pick up their phone, so you need to do reservations visYelp. Once you?re there, a couple servers will keep reminding you about your time limit (for us it was 1.5 hr, which wasn?t toobad for my party). Read more

Food taste Excellent 5? Ratio Dish Amount to Price 2? Service 5? Food was delicious; what little there was of it. Item pictured,... 6 pieces of Scallops with Uni, was over $25.00! Duck with Plum sauce, another pricey item, was also very good, especially thesauce. Atmosphere was very nice: Quiet, dark, calming music. Table choice of American with chairs or the more traditional withseats on the floor. I liked it. Parking is in a small lot; but if you are not there before opening or are not lucky, don'texpect to be right in front of the place; it is wildly popular and there is almost always a row of cars parked directly in frontof this restaurant. Very good, but pricey, pretty food. Go with money to burn, especially if you are hungry! Read more
One of the popular Japanese fusion restaurant. I think it is a tapas place, because of the size of the dishes :) Almost all the... dishes we tried are great. Name some below: Assorted Sashimi: about 8 different fishes, 2 piece of each fish. All of them arefresh and delicious ???? Clay pot rice: must try. Just stick with the small pot, I think it is enough for 4 people ???? Freshoysters: this is seasonal, ask the staff Make sure to make a reservation in advance. The front door is kind of low profile,easy to miss. Read more
