    The ramen did not miss. My kid was so excited that his first "real ramen" experience was delicious.

    We were looking on yelp for sushi near our hotel while we were on vacation and picked this spot based on it looking like one of the only spots with ample seating. All I can say is wow, this is some of the best sushi I've ever had. I got the TJ roll and the spicy yellowtail, super fresh very impressive. my friend got the wonton roll, we also go the fried goyza and fried rice both delish. Service was great and quick. Would 100% recommend and go back next time we're in town.

    Gochi has become my go-to spot in Winter Garden. I think it's one of the best neighborhood sushi restaurants around -- the sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Their cocktails are just as good, creative yet easy to enjoy, and pair perfectly with the food. What makes Gochi even more fun is the option to cook your own meats right at the table. It adds a really interactive twist to the dining experience and makes it a great place to go with friends or family. The service is always great and quick. Between the quality of the food, the great drinks, and the welcoming atmosphere, Gochi checks all the boxes for me.

    HIDDEN GEM If I could give an extra star, I most certainly would! From the moment I entered Gochi, It felt like traveling through a portal into another dimension--subtle yet luxurious surroundings, deeply immersive, with tasteful touches of what seemed like rose gold accents. Another extra star for what truly felt like a white glove experience. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted with a warm smile and seated right away. Shortly there after our waiter ( please forgive me I didn't write down his name) also got my drink order; also with a warm smile. Luckily there was a happy hour menu with just enough to choose from! Simple and effective options in addition to the already outstanding menu. One order of the Krab Rangoon and seared dumplings for starters. Now for someone who's not a big crab person, this item was shockingly DELICIOUS. Again, the timing was IMPECCABLE. From the apps to the beer and of course the entree, such a seamless experience overall; attention to detail was amazing. I don't eat pork so I got the spicy beef ramen and a California roll. Let's start with the broth, WOOOOO!!!! Immediately opened my sinus' but in the best way possible. More flavorful than spicy, which isn't an easy task. The California roll here at Gochi is most certainly comparable to the California Roll at Nobu (honestly I'd give the edge to Gochi simply cause of the price lol) TO THE GENTLEMAN WHO KEPT MY WATER CUP FILLED AND HELD THE DOOR OPEN FOR ME, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH; IVE BEEN IN HOSPITALITY FOR OVER 8 YEARS AND YOU UNDERSTAND WHITE GLOVE SERVICE!

    Tempura and Spring Roll

    Service is attentive, friendly and professional. Food is very delicious and reasonably priced. Very nice happy hour menu from 3-6. They also have a great lunch menu from noon to 3. Very enjoyable!!

    3 Piece Fried Pork Gyoza

    I had bigger expectations of this restaurant since it seemed to have such good reviews. The miso soup seemed off, watered down a bit. I rather that than too salty I guess since miso paste can be quite salty. The avocado in the rolls was almost paste... it was so ripe it was smeared on and the fish in the spicy salmon was hard to distinguish and taste because of was smeared spicy sauce and the almost over ripe avocado... it was a nice surprise to see it was no just diced smashed salmon. The sashimi was nice clean cuts of salmon. Look at that cut of fish! The avocado roll had an excellent cut size of tuna and it was all just ok. The dish for thee soy sauce was dirty and as mentioned it was all just ok.

    Really good overall! Moderately priced and super delicious. Placed a takeout order and it was ready in ~20 mins. Found the online ordering experience to be mid. Was easier to look at the online menu and call in.

    Hubs and I stopped here for an impromptu date night last week. We were regulars at the old location in the Publix plaza but haven't been to the new location since the move. We were surprised by the size, so much bigger than we anticipated and in comparison to the old hole in the wall spot. They have tables, booths, hightops and bar seating, even a few little tables outside. They have in table hotpot options available and obviously sushi. The decor is tasteful with modern touches and Asian inspired decor. It was a tad smoky the evening we came, we chalked it up to someone over searing their hotpot. The service was fine. There was a sign at the front asking for patience as they were short staffed but we didn't notice any delay in service. The ambiance could use some work. The background music playing was someone's podcast. I don't really care as we were having our own conversations but it was a little distracting. I'd prefer light music of some kind. The sushi was just as good as I remembered. Fresh, great flavor and texture combinations. We ordered the edamame app and were surprised by the portion, not in a good way. I think there were a total of 15 beans in the bowl which seemed wild for the price. I had a glass of Prosecco which was poured to the rim, no complaints there. Overall we enjoyed our experience and would come back when in the area.

    Top to bottom: Orange Roll, Ruby Roll, Tampa Bay Roll
    Alexander E.

    The sushi rolls here are really high quality and innovative. My favorite was the Tampa Bay, which had a nice mix of flavors and a hint of sweetness. The Ruby was strong, too, while the Orange was not especially memorable. Additionally, we got vegetable tempura as an appetizer. Very generous portions. Good amount of batter. Definitely on point.

    Crab Rangoon's

    Each time we try Gochi, we are under impressed. The food is good enough, but the prices are a little high for the service and ambience. It seems that they are greatly understaffed and servers are struggling to maintain the load. There are many other local sushi joints that do it better.

    Continuing my search for the best Japanese Bento Box lunch in the Horizon West area, and discovered Gochi Japanese Kitchen, and so glad I did! It's one of those places you might never know is there, in a small strip mall off of Hwy 50 (W. Colonial), with almost nothing to tell you it's there driving by, as it doesn't face the main street. It's much larger inside than it looks from outside, as others have said, and it's clean and inviting... a legit restaurant vs so many storefront places intended more for to go orders. Upon being seated, I noticed there was a central hibachi grill in the middle of the booth table. Apparently, this place offers DIY hibachi grilling, but I did note the menu stated that if the table did not order at least 4 proteins (they looked to be about $15 each), there would be an additional $15 charcoal (fuel) charge. A bit steep, in my opinion, especially if I would be expected to cook my own food, but I wasn't having hibachi at the time. Just thought I'd mention it, because it seems like a novel idea, and not too many places offer this feature. Gochi has a nice menu, and reasonably priced bento boxes. I found it a bit odd that, when deciding on the traditional teriyaki chicken box, I had to choose between 4 small pieces of California roll OR steamed white rice (I've never been anywhere that didn't include both). The box also included 1 piece of gyoza, 1 very small veggie spring roll; I chose the CA roll, and it also included the standard ginger salad. I went ahead and ordered a side of steamed white rice (who doesn't want rice, without having to miss out on the CA roll?). The other thing that struck me as a bit odd - no miso soup with a bento box? OK, all that being said... the food. Despite being a bit surprised at no rice and CA roll together, and no miso soup, the quality of the food... for the most part, amazing! Most bento box chicken is plain grilled or sautéed chicken with teriyaki sauce. Gochi's stands out because it's sautéed, fresh, well-prepared chicken, mixed with sautéed veggies. VERY flavorful, VERY fresh, and not at all oily. So many places have bland offerings, but Gochi's flavors are incredible, and despite any of the minor, aforementioned misgivings about the bento box offerings, it's the quality and taste of the food that will keep me coming back for more! One more thing... the server. David was covering the entire restaurant (it wasn't too busy just after lunch hour, but still maybe 25-30 people at multiple tables). David HUSTLES!! He's so fast, watching him, he was literally everywhere at once, and still took the time to talk with each table, checking in, answering questions about the menu, describing the details and flavors of each dish people asked about... really impressive! I asked David if he was the owner - because it takes a special kind of person to take such good care of customers, with a well-defined knowledge of the menu, preparations, etc., to help people decide what they might like. David said he wasn't the owner, but had been in the industry for over 30 years! Honestly, he made the experience even better, which was much appreciated. One serious critique, Gochi... ditch the tap water! Disgusting, even after adding lemon, and I order water with lemon everywhere I eat. PLEASE source your water from your filtered soda machine, or invest in a purification system. Honestly, the horrible tap water flavor could've ruined an otherwise excellent meal. So glad I tried Gochi (I just won't order water again... seriously, it was that bad)... but I will be back for the food (and hopefully David's excellent service), and I'd even like to try the DIY hibachi sometime... maybe with more people so we'd cover the 4 meat minimum. PS: Sorry, but I was so hungry, and it smelled so good, that I started eating before I took the pictures. There were actually 4 small CA roll pieces, and the gyoza and small eggroll. By the time I took this picture, I'd poured my side of rice into the bento box.

    Been here a few times during lunch. Service was great and fast. Even did an order to go. Sushi was very fresh. Love the modern look. It's very comfortable and spacious. Located in not the best strip mall on Colonial, very close to Servandos.

There is an elevator that will take you to the second floor and the entrance to Pilars Martini & Loft is right in front of you when you exit. There are also restrooms available and medium sized air-conditioned lobby where you can take calls if Pilars has live music inside. Pilars is an upscale lounge and music club. When we arrived, the live entertainment was setting up for later that evening. It was actually nice having the calm contrast to what was happening in the streets currently. Food here seems fairly high-end; it's Market-to-table so everything is a bit pricy. Appetizers start at $14, one of their most expensive appetizers is Seared Foie Gras ($26). If you're not a big spender, they do have Chicken Wings or BBQ Short Rib Sliders for $14, and a Market Burger for $16. If you're looking for something a little more special, they have Filet Mignon ($86), Lamb Shank ($42), Braised Beef Short Ribs ($46), and Iberico Pork ($76). Most of their specialty drinks will run you between $12-$14. Beers are between $6-$9 and non-alcoholic drinks anywhere between $2.50-$8. We didn't stay too long because we were bopping around checking out different places during the festival, but if you are looking for a great place to take a date or have a nice evening out with friends, listening to great live music and Jazz this is a premier spot in the Winter Garden area.
