    Loco Moco: Snake River Farms Wagyu Beef Patty w/ fried egg, steamed rice, mushroom gravy ($26)
    Cherylynn N.

    Roy's alum. A big ass spoon and fork on the wall. Cozy, diner vibes. You know the Loco Moco is going to be BOMB! We were in the area and GOGA Restaurant came on Yelp as being TT friendly so we made last minute rezzies for brunch (a must). M E N U Hawaiian and AZN fusion cuisine. Dinner: 4-course menu for $98 and weekend only brunch. F O O D * Loco Moco: Snake River Farms Wagyu Beef Patty w/ fried egg, steamed rice, mushroom gravy ($26) A mound of perfectly cooked, slightly sticky short grain rice topped with a rich, meaty beef patty (cooked medium) with a nice seared crust and smothered in a deeply flavorful and umami-rich gravy. The slightly runny yolk added an extra layer of creamy richness. So hearty and deliciously satisfying. * Smoked Salmon Benedict w/ poached eggs, english muffin, hollandaise, hash brown ($27) Not mine but it looked underwhelming. Dining companion requested scrambled eggs (weirdo) instead of poached eggs and it was very wet...not in a soft scrambled kinda way. For the price, I was surprised that the hashbrown was one of those industrial patties. S E R V I C E Friendly. It's a one man show in the kitchen so food does take awhile (~30 minutes). A M B I A N C E Casual diner vibes with six tables and counter seating. Overall, excellent Loco Moco and probably the best I've had in the bay since 'āina in the city closed. GET IT!

    Chicken masala
    Crystal W.

    We dined here tonight with another family and unfortunately left pretty disappointed, especially given the $93 per person prix fixe price. The meal felt very disjointed and lacked the cohesion and execution you would expect at that price point. The courses included a scallop cut in half, a very bitter salad, egg noodles with a chicken thigh and unusual mushrooms in what was described as a masala sauce, and tiramisu for dessert. The tiramisu appeared to be a large pan dessert that had been cut into very small slices and drizzled with Hershey's syrup, which felt out of place for a restaurant charging nearly $100 per person. Service was prompt, but overall the experience felt more like a home cooked dinner than a professionally run restaurant. At a $40-$60 price point this might feel more understandable, but at $93 per person the food and overall execution simply wasn't good. I'm sharing this so others know what to expect before booking.

    Holy crap! This place blew my mind! My fiance surprised me with Valentine's Day dinner here. They had a prefix menu which featured scallops, cod, and steak. Let's not forget the tiramisu. Every single course was amazing and I'm not even a seafood person. I definitely need to come here again, the food was not only incredible but the people were really kind. Is this guy not a Michelin chef? Shout out to chef Brad.

    We love this place! Small intimate place nestled in Saratoga. Chef Brad makes a really great meal. With his expertise in Asian fusion Hawaiian cooking he is a master at fresh fish and palate pleasing faire like poke, seared ahi and fresh scallops. I highly recommend Goga. You will love it! It's so good! Come for brunch or dinner. They also have a wine list but bring your own wine too.

    So glad I picked this place to go to before a show at The Mountain Winery. Was very excited when we realized it's a weekly rotating 4 course tasting menu. Any chance we can just sit down and a Chef treats us to their best we get excited. Across the board great flavors and textures. Our courses ranged from Scandinavian to Japanese to Italian and were all done very well. When each flavor compliments each other you can't go wrong in my book. Throw in some textural contrast and you've got satisfying dishes every time. Can't wait to visit again knowing that the menu changes weekly!

    100% I will be returning and bringing friends. I loved that GOGA was hidden because it truly is a gem. We were immediately sat down by their kind staff. Cute, clean menu full of upscale sweet and savory dishes. We ordered a black coffee, a caramel latte, the French toast, a Loco Moco, and the scallops. ALL YUMMY! Enjoy when you go!

    Came here for a friend's birthday and had really high expectations for this place. Once you find the restaurant, the place is charming with the feel of a small bistro. This is a two person operation with the chef cooking and the other expediting and serving. The person waiting on us was charming and nice. The first course was a seared tuna appetizer and it did not disappoint, it was cooked very well and the sauce was quite tasty with a little zing 8/10. Next was the poached prawn Caesar salad, and this was a big miss for me. The salad itself was fine but the prawn was diced up and it didn't even add up to a whole prawn! It was a small salad too 4.5/10. The main course was Wagyu with potato truffle corn sauce. The Wagyu was cooked well, but the potatoes were ice cold. I did send the lobster butter potatoes back and they refried it and the. It was actually pretty amazing. The chef said they didn't have a way to keep the food hot and it got cold because we were a large party of 9. The portion was pretty small, but tasted good 7/10. The dessert was tiramisu, which tasted fine, but for a $95 tasting menu, I'd expect the presentation to be much nicer6.5/10. Overall it was an ok experience but I didn't feel the price matched what we got. The chef definitely knows how to cook though. If they can work out the minor issues and pricing I may come back for a second chance.

    Found this hidden gem in the Saratoga area. It's tucked away in a small passage behind the UPS Store, which made it a little hard to find. The restaurant has very limited seating and feels quite cozy and homey. We came here for brunch and walked in right at opening time. The menu is à la carte and offers a variety of classic brunch dishes inspired by Californian-Asian cuisine. We ordered three dishes to share: seared rare tuna sashimi with wasabi potato salad, American wagyu steak and fries, and an ahi poke bowl. The salad was our favorite. The tuna had great texture and was perfectly seared on the outside. The wasabi added a refreshing element, and the crispy potato fries contributed an extra layer of texture. It was a very well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted dish. The steak was cooked beautifully as well and paired perfectly with the truffle mushroom sauce.

    Cheeseburger!

    One of those "secret" places you seem to find out only by word of mouth and it is worth the "find". Very small place with 24 seats (hint make reservation) is very laid back atmosphere (read: time to be patient). Brunch menu is awesome... loco moco, cheeseburger (worthy of The Menu), poke, scallops, coffee cake, and lots of ala cart options for brunch. Dinner is pretty much prix fixe with one choice of 4 course menu that changes weekly. Wine selection is very respectable. In a nutshell it is awesome...

    Kimberly R.

    We recently had dinner here and it was so tasty and such an enjoyable experience! The folks running the place are super friendly and attentive - no empty water glasses here! We had five lovely courses, each unique and delicious, and so well thought out. The sear on the tuna was even all around and so thin, and the scallops were *perfection*. And while I'm not the biggest chocolate person, I was blown away by the balance of flavors and textures in the chocolate cake served for dessert. At the end of the meal we were contentedly full, not overly stuffed. They have a pretty decent wine list for such a small place, and we loved the pinot noir we chose. They change the menu frequently, but if you call and ask, they will text the current one to you. They also mentioned, with a little notice, they can make pescatarian/vegetarian substitutions where needed. We will definitely be back for dinner, and want to try brunch too!

    Loco moco
    Jess L.

    Really enjoyed every bite here at GOGA! GOGA burger had fried onion in it, adding extra crispiness with fresh lettuce. Buns are very soft and give nice scent of butter. My partner said its the best burger he had so far. Loco moco was great - Gravy tasted better than ones I tried at Hawaii :-) And extra spice from white pepper made everything nicer! Coconut pudding(Haupia) was also very good. Its not a hard pudding, its very creamy and has a strong coconut flavor. We enjoyed Tuna tataki here too - we liked how its served with spicy sauce instead of soy sauce based sauce which is often served with. Chef was very friendly, checking every table and sharing stories :-) Its very accessible if you park at Saratoga public parking lot. If you're entering from main street, you'd be able to find standing sign in front of UPS store. There's extra credit card processing fee on top of menu price. I think price is bit high, but my partner thinks all the foods worth every penny. So I'll leave this up to you :-)

The roti was tasty but I wish the red curry was spicier and that there was more of it. Overall, the dishes at Mint Leaf are very instagrammable and the space feels like it would be a nice spot for a date night. I appreciated how vegetarian friendly the restaurant is. The food was presented well, but it could have been more flavorful and it's a little pricey for what you get. I am unsure if I would return, maybe would come back to try the Pad Se Ew

As You Wish - the chicken was moist and delicious. The Ube sticky rice gave the dish a nice sweetness. Couch Potato cocktail paired well with the As You Wish entree.

Individually served were a bowl of hot and sour soup although steaming hot but too thick with corn starch and overly sweet without the right balance of flavor . Chicken salad was just ok, primarily lettuce with sliced chicken fingers. The vegetarian egg roll was fresh and crispy, best of the three. The main dishes were Honey walnut prawns, black pepper fish fillets, sweet sour pork, house Basil beef, braised tofu and Kung Pao chicken. Every dish was well cooked with distinct flavor and fresh ingredients. A large bowl of steamed rice was also perfectly cooked and generous served. Our favorite were the tofu and the basil beef. We couldn't finish all the food, several of us brought home leftovers. We were quite happy with the experience, enjoyed the excellent food service, value and ambiance.

He declared it is his favorite restaurant after trying this last night. He thought it was the best takoyaki he had ever tried as well. It was good, not sure if it was the best imo. But freshly made and brought to your table is always good.

    Was in the mood for poke and figured I would try this place out. At 5:30 on a friday evening, it…read morewasn't too crowded, with plenty of seating. Seating was self serve, kind of like chipotle, after you order in the assembly-line style line. At first, I was kind of surprised to see that each bento-tray was ~$22, with no sizing options. However, the portion was massive, enough for one to be super full or to have lunch the next day! I liked how the bento was quite customizable. The restaurant is korean-fusion with poke, so there were many toppings, base rice that are more commonly linked with korean food. It was pretty good! The salmon was fresh and fatty. One of the fresher poke spots I have had in the bay. The toppings were fresh, and visually vibrant! I think my only critique would be the pricing and maybe having more options for sizing. Otherwise, you are getting what you are paying for!

    This is a very cozy place, lots of family groups were present at the time we were there. We came on…read morea Wednesday night -- there aren't very many tables, so we ended up waiting for around 20-25 minutes for a table to open up. The staff are constantly moving around delivering food and making dishes, they were so busy that we weren't able to catch anyone to ask about wait times for the first ~10 minutes. They offer a lot of options on the menu, which is an iPad they leave at the table for you, and you order on your own. The menu is easy to look through, and you can easily add more items whenever you want without needing to flag down an employee. They advertised special daily bentos at the waiting area, but they also have a wide variety of regular bentos and other menu items. The bentos were really delicious, and contained a lot of food, well worth the price. Will definitely come here again

    ORDERED: Hamachikama bento - individual loved it, questions…read more how is it possible for a hamachi collar to be so nicely seasoned and so crispy Spicy tuna roll - only avocado, very sour, very sriracha like, large chunks of tuna Salmon and hamachi don - totally not worth the cost, you receive 4 slices each of salmon and hamachi on top of a ton of sushi rice with one shiso leaf, a dollop of wasabi and a pinch of yellow ginger Wasabi is nearing on fake (complete fake is neon green) because it was not spicy at all nor had any flavor. Strange how they sell a variety of chili oils as it's a Japanese establishment. Food came out crazily fast. Plates and bowls for the raw items were cold. Perhaps prepared beforehand? SERVICE: only one lady was working the entire restaurant; went during peak hours and there were only 3 tables including us... then a person showed up at 12:51pm (they close at 1pm) and she let her in! You have to call her over...she doesn't just show up so I don't think this is called attentive? But very friendly and very sweet. Table, plates, cups, and utensils were moderately clean. AMBIENCE: old school Japanese decor with bamboo separations. Casual dining. Tough and rough hours to catch them since they're so short. Located in a small plaza with a private parking lot; did not have to wait for a spot. I'm excited to try their other items. Strange location. Strange hours. Strange wasabi.
