Hidden Gem!! I am still thinking about how delicious this meal was.. my family and I had a few rolls, the sashimi platter and chicken fried rice. It was immediately clear that the food was made with high quality ingredients. The selection, quality and flavor is some of the best I ever had. Service was great - Rachel was wonderful and the Sushi Master even came out to make sure we enjoyed our food. The restaurant was nice and clean, highly recommended! read more

Gohan Japanese Cuisine - Tiger Roll, Rainbow and Sashimi platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

I just ate there 30 minutes ago. I saw it had a high rating and thought I would try it out. I'm still relatively new to the area and it's the first restaurant that made me feel this good. If anything on the downside, the eat in area is a bit small but the food was really wonderful. They do not serve beer but they told me they are fine if you want to bring your own. Their tea was good. I was already having a great day and eating there made it even better. The staff were very nice. I'm not the type to stick up my nose and tell everyone what I think is the best. This is different. I am in such a great mood right now. As it was my first time, I rolled the dice on the Sushi & Sashimi Combo. I want to try to Chef's specialties next time and they also have these bowl meals that looked good too. I tend to over order but this was perfect. I'm very happy with the food and I'm not so overstuffed I need to be wheeled out. read more

As you can see by the reviews this place is just exceptional sushi and food. They are truly chef's here with the flavors they put together and the inventiveness of their creations. If you are going the route of rock shrimp, shumai, chicken wings, noodles, kani salad etc., it is all as good as you find anywhere. Now, when you get to the sushi, that is where they shine even more. We have been to many areas for sushi, including NYC and nobody will outshine this place with freshness and creativity and you should definitely try this place and I am sure you will return read more

Sashimi is extremely fresh and a good variety!! Very friendly staff. They aim to satisfy customer's taste buds and happy mood. Rice is really good too. They focus on details. Though I wish the wasabi is hand grounded. Decor is simple but tasteful. Looks like a lot of repeating customers. read more

The worst sushi we have ever had. The nigiri was really smelly - not good. Two of the containers that should have had soy sauce had vinegar.

I waited a few days to post this review. I wanted to let the experience settle in before I commented on it. Have you ever had something so good you can't imagine better? That was my feeling as we sampled 5 different rolls from the new Gohan! You can find a Rainbow Roll on most sushi menus. This one was really good! The chef's signature rolls are where you should live! The Dark Angel Roll was amazing! The Paradise Cake was exceptionally unusual and oh so good. Montage Mountain was like nothing I've ever seen and was possibly the simplest and maybe the best of the bunch. Crispy sushi rice as a base is unique! The staff was wonderful. The restaurant is absolutely spotless. And they even gave us a little thank you sampler. It was an experience that tells me it wasn't a fluke and will be good time and time again. I plan to find out! read more

Absolutely the best Japanese food we've had in Connecticut. After 40 Years in Manhattan, I didn't think I could find a decent Japanese restaurant in Connecticut. But, lo and behold, my wishes were answered. The food, the service, even the ambiance, was superb on every level. We really can't wait to go again! read more

The sashimi especially the tuna was the best I've ever had. The presentation was perfect. Staff is knowledgeable and did an excellent job. The ambiance was ok , it's not a fancy place but the sashimi and sushi is amazing. A huge surprise and a wonderful meal. read more

Food was excellent service fast and friendly loved the whole experience! Excellent on every level.

The food is amazing! The service is great! I've been going for close to a year. I've brought friends. Everyone loves it there.

We've tried many Japanese places in and around Hartford county and Gohan is a hidden treasure. Fresh fish and great rolls that highlight the fish - not sauces or funny combinations. The owner makes sure that the fish is prepared right and to top that off, he makes you feel like a well loved customer. Can't say enough good things about this place. It may look unassuming but venture in and try the food, you won't be sorry. read more

The best sushi in CT hands down. Hidden gem that is worth a visit. Great service as well as BYOB. Don't hesitate, just make your way into this local sushi spot and you'll experience sushi unlike anywhere else. read more

I rate on the curve. An expensive, formal place has to work harder to get five stars from me.] We ordered a variety of sushi rolls, and each was delicious. The chef prides himself on innovative sauces, and they encourage you to try them straight from the kitchen. My wife and I, who usually go through a lot of wasabi, found that they were right. Just a touch was more than enough. The interior is modest, about what you'd expect from fast casual. We went rather early for dinner and had the place to ourselves; but people were starting to filter in as we left. They also have a variety of kitchen items, including appetizers (we had the sliced octopus) and katsu. The restaurant is in a shopping center, so parking is no problem. read more

The sushi is always so good and fresh! I'm pretty picky when it comes to sushi and I get this pretty often! The owners are so incredibly nice, which is a bonus. Always ask what their specials are because they come up with some super tasty options that you may not have chosen. read more

Everything was amazing, incredible food in a nonasuming location. Kind staff. Worth a 40 minute drive. The desserts were made in house too and were delicious. Fish was very fresh. This was the quality of a high end restaurant. read more

AWESOME...!!!! My FAVORITE place to eat Sushi, et al. Will is very creative making his rolls & dishes. It is an artform by him. I love the sashimi roll...!!! Eel bowl; my first time having it...DELISH...!!! Wish he hadn't moved from where he was...a bit far for me to drive to his place. I so much want to eat here again. I ate in but took orders to go, also. BEST to Will & family...!!!! read more

Saw this spot tucked away in a little plaza and figured I'd give it a try. It's small spot with about 5 tables for dining in. There were a lot of takeout orders going and that's usually a good sign. We ordered miso soup, seaweed salad, scorpion roll, Philly roll, and a spicy crunchy tuna roll. All the rolls were expertly prepared and delicious. Miso soup was full of flavor and the seaweed salad was one of the best I've had. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

The superior skill and imagination of the chefs make Gohan a cut above the other good sushi restaurants in central Connecticut. Even a basic roll like Spicy Tuna gets an upgrade with crunchy bits that give it an extra textural dimension. Then there are fantasy rolls like Paradise Cake (with that spicy crunchy tuna along with salmon, avocado, eel, marinated ikura (salmon roe), and citrus mayo. A lunch comprising three basic rolls with miso soup or salad is a bargain at $14.45. Gohan's ube (purple sweet potato) ice cream is fantastic, and I'm up for trying the ginger or red bean ice cream on my next visit. This place is tiny but oh-so-serious when it comes to the quality of its food and its thoughtful, friendly service. read more

Excuse me?? How did I not know this gem came to town? The quality of the fish is top notch for the area. I'm honestly blown away. We finished our takeout before we even got home, it was just so good. Everything was perfectly balanced and somehow managed to get better with soy sauce. Your sushi chef knows exactly what they're doing. I will be back. read more

Excellent, fresh food. Rice bowls, rolls, etc, it's all amazing. Staff is warm & welcoming. Small but pleasant & clean atmosphere. Take out orders always on time & accurate. 5 stars across the board read more

Fantastic sushi! Great creative sushi chef/owner. Wonderful service. Small restaurant but very comfortable and cozy.

The food is to DIE FOR!! The quality and options are so so so great. This is my 3rd time coming and it's so perfect for all age groups. The establishment is small but that's good because it makes the service so good. I ordered the chicken fried rice and I think it's the best I've ever had. My freinds who I go with tried the sushi and they say it's one of the best they have ever had! OVERALL I LOVE THIS PLACE! WILL BE COMING BACK SOON! read more

MY daughter and I stopped in for a quick lunch. She's one of those nervous, picky eaters, so I always take any opportunity to try and expand her mind and taste buds. Her choice was a.spicy Kani roll (a predictable safe choice for her, no raw fish). She thought it was delicious. My choice was the direction I usually go: something I've never had - a roll off the Chef Signature Roll list - Paradise Cake. I wasn't disappointed with the adventure. The citrus mayo was tasty, just the right amount of roe, and fresh fish. And the rice was perfect. As an extra amount of torture... I mean aforementioned mental and palate expansion, I ordered some yellowtail sashimi for Miss Picky to try and overcome the apprehension of eating raw fish. She surprised even herself that she liked it. The lady serving us kept my hot green tea coming and was very friendly. It's not rich in ambiance, just a few seats, but still comfortable. Based on our experience, I'd recommend people give it a try. read more

My new favorite go-to local sushi place for takeout. It has become a once a week routine for fresh sushi. My favorite roll is the Dark Angel but lately I've been into the spicy salmon bowl which is just a delicious bowl of rice, avocado, seaweed, mango and spicy salmon. I'm looking forward to the weekend when I can order it again! read more
