I stopped by Gojira Ramen & Sushi in the Village for a meal recently, and while the location is unbeatable, the food was a bit of a mixed bag for me. It's a convenient spot for a quick bite, but there are a few areas where the execution fell short of the price point. I tried the Karaage Chicken Rice, and while the flavors had potential, the dish didn't quite hit the mark this time around. Meal Observations * The Chicken: The flavor of the karaage was decent, but the texture was quite dry. It lacked that signature juiciness you look for in Japanese fried chicken, making it feel a little over-prepared. * The Rice & Balance: Without much sauce or moisture to go around, the bowl felt a bit heavy and one-note. A bit more dressing or a fresher batch of rice would have gone a long way in balancing the dish. * Pricing: Being in the heart of the Village, you expect to pay a "resort premium," but for the quality of the chicken bowl, it felt a little steep. It's hard to justify the cost when the main component of the meal is underwhelming. The Upside * Convenience & Vibe: The restaurant has a great energy and the staff is efficient, which is perfect if you're looking to get in and out quickly between activities. * Service: The food came out fast and the team was friendly, making for a smooth overall visit even if the kitchen missed on this specific order. read more

Since I still had a craving for ramen after my Yamatani experience (they don't have ramen - though everything else was perfect) I drove across town to squash the craving. Well worth the drive. Small ramen / poke / sushi restaurant with about 7 tables - seemed to be a lot of to go service. With the size, line going through the tables, fill your own water and bus your own table, there was enough disorganization it reminded me of a ramen bar in Japan. Japan is not disorganized, just as gaijin we have trouble processing their ultra-organized chaos. I went with the Gojiramen - spicy miso broth with pork. Miso broth was very well balanced with just the right amount of spice paste. All accompaniments went very well in the ramen with a nice amount of noodles and sprouts. Very well made bowl of ramen. My coworker had the Black Garlic and said it also had a nice flavor with a good amount of garlic. She also had the gyoza which looked as amazing as she said they tasted. Upset I didn't get offered one or order my own. Great stop if you're looking for a nice bowl of ramen on a cool winters night. Everything else looked amazing as well. What they give up in table service they definitely make up in flavor. read more

We came here for dinner. There was plenty of parking available. The interior decor was very nice and welcoming. Service was very good and sociable. We ordered the Eel Avocado Roll, California Roll, Salmon Nigiri, and Horchata and Strawberry Boba. The sushi was good and it was filling. The drinks were cold and refreshing, but they were so expensive at $8 each! Overall, a good meal. read more

The only Asian restaurant around, but not one to be seen. There's a bunch of Godzilla posters and figurines in the restaurant, which is pretty cool. Small restaurant with an open kitchen. - Takoyaki 2.1/5 Crispy on the outside, one small piece of octopus. It was ok. - Tonkatsu Ramen & Spicy Tuna Roll Combo 1.6/5 The tonkatsu broth is not that great, and the spicy tuna is below average... - Rainbow Roll 1.8/5 It was ok. The pieces of fish on top weren't as fresh. California roll was ok. - Eel Tamaki (Handroll) 4.1/5 Pretty good Handroll. They give a big piece of eel. ELL is solid. Free parking in lot read more

I've been to several places to eat ramen, and I can say I have a lot of experience with ramen. This place really had me a little surprised. It was a spot in the middle of nowhere, on our way from Reno to Los Angeles, and it ended up being a really good place. The service is excellent. The ramen came in a plastic bowl, and the water cups were foam cups. They have their station where you serve yourself water and grab napkins. But the waiter was always checking if everything was good. The flavor was good. I don't have any problem with that. The egg was original, ramen-style egg, ajitsuke tamago. The pork was two good pieces, and with good garlic, bamboo, ginger, and a little chopped onion. More or less like that. The plate costs around $18.50, but definitely the portions were generous. I was very satisfied, and everything was delicious. Excellent service. read more

Came here because of the good reviews But from someone coming from SoCal and is used good ramen. The tonkatsu ramen was a bit disappointing. There's no richness in the broth. It tasted watered down. The karaage was also a let down for us. 2 stars for the fast service. We do like the interior and the decorations at the place read more

Two nights ago we rolled into Mammoth to enjoy the new cabin that we just bought up there. We went here for dinner. My husband and I both got food poisoning so bad! About four hours after we got home, we started with the sweats and then shortly after that, we were puking all night long. The next day diarrhea all day. It took me a full 24 hours to start even beginning to feel normal again. What we both had in common was rice. The rice was very dry, but I love rice so I ate all of it. BIG MISTAKE. I honestly would like my money back- when we were on our way out of town, I would have stopped and demanded for it, but we were already there longer than we needed to be because we couldn't leave because we were sick read more

I've eaten here in bishop ever since it opened, since the owner fired everyone, and changed. Everything, no servers, and changed the appetizers menu, never again . The calamari was so hard. And there was no calamari inside the fried batter, it was horrible, then we went to the one in mammoth, that was horrible too, so my gojirra experience is completely over. read more

I like this place. It's really good food. The all you can eat in the evening is a good deal if you are really hungry, otherwise I think their ramen dishes are as good as you'll get anywhere. Good food. Good service. read more

New favorite Restaurant in Bishop! We all loved everything we got! Rolls were much better than Ramen We ordered: Salmon Special Lemon Roll Tonkatsu Ramen Chicken Karaage Gyoza You MUST get the Karaage. It was the star of the night! Pork gyoza here are better than the ones at Yamitami (popular Japanese spot down the street) Rolls were great! I'd come back for those alone. The dine in special with the bowl and add on of a roll was great. It boggles my mind that the addition of a full sized roll is so cheap! The ramen was good - but could've used a bit more flavor in my opinion. Not the best sushi spot in the world - but definitely the best in Bishop! Staff are super nice and friendly! read more

I came here because of the good reviews. I was wrong and very disappointed. We ordered tonkotsu ramen. The soup was super bland, no pork bone broth flavor at all. The powder package of my instant ramen noodles at home has more flavor than their broth. The bean sprouts were super crunchy. The char siu tasted nothing like char siu. Did I say it was $18 each??!!!! Totally not worth it. I would not recommend at all. Run! Don't be fooled by the theme and decoration. read more

Gojira Ramen & Sushi - Nothing like a real bowl of ramen, very disappointed - Ramen Near Me - Bishop, California

Recent changes, none good. No more table service, need to order at the counter. Want water? Go get it yourself and only styrofoam cups available. They still want you to tip them, of course, for providing absolutely no service. Also, the portions are now 20% smaller and only served to you in a to go container. Did I mention they also raised prices? They raised prices. read more

Solid 4.5+ On a whim, looking for anything still open, I was ecstatic to see a sushi spot in town. Around 8pm, there were just a few people dining. A decent size menu, wonderful service and great location...it couldn't have been more ideal. I ordered the Salmon special which was a little to salty...maybe it was the soy sauce?? Everything else we tried was enjoyable. Prices were a little high, but not bad for the location and quality. Nice interior with seats spread out. Easy to park in front of restaurant. read more

Solid food. Exceeded expectations and would have again. If this were relative to other restaurants in the area I would give 5 stars.

We walked in, table of three after a day of climbing and was happy to wait for a table as we were starving. As a new table came available they had a family cut in front of us. When we asked what happened they didn't even respond to us. We decided to go wash out hands in the back of my boyfriend noticed what he thought was a package of bad noodles in the back and said "I hope they arent serving these" he realized it was just a package of rubber bands. One of the workers came back immediately and asked us to not touch their stuff. We were embarrassed and apologized. We saw another table being prepped for another group pf 4z When we asked after 10min about the next table they said we "don't like your vibes" and we walked out. Don't eat here! read more

Service was fine, but it is now counter service only. Drinks are served in styrofoam cups, and you get your own water and napkins from a table at the door. The sushi has gone downhill and is basically the same quality as Von's at twice the price. Everything is disposable, and the atmosphere feels like a cafeteria, except you are not asked to tip when you eat in a cafeteria. read more

Gojira Ramen & Sushi - Not worth it. - Ramen Near Me - Bishop, California

This used to be a decent place. I stopped by yesterday and they no longer serve sushi just sushi burritos, they have a taco style bar in the dining area which looks like a ghetto South central taco stand, the boba had no ice, thin and tasteless. I paid $28 for 2 boba and 1 topoyaki. It was a ripoff. And the trashcan was filled to the top where you couldn't put more trash in it. The ramen bowls where just piled on top of the trash by the door. Not very clean at all. I used to enjoy coming here with my cousin before they made all these changes. But I won't be back again read more

Pretty good for the area. Actually liked their rolls more than the ramen. The rolls are a decent size and stuffed. The tonkotsu ramen wasn't bad but a bit too salty with the broth for my liking. Still a very good portion and I appreciate they have a bunch of toppings like the bamboo shoots. Overall a good food stop conveniently on the 395. read more

All rolls were good, staff was prompt and tables were clean. read more

Found this ramen restaurant on Yelp. Didn't think much of it when we decided eat lunch there. Didn't have too high of expectations....Japanese ramen And sushi in Bishop???? Oh boy I was wrong. Food is excellent here! Everything tasted GREAT! I love Karaage...Japanese fried chicken. The best one I ate is from Kyushu Ramen in Van Nuys and never found another restaurant as good as theirs. But this restaurant comes very close...very tasty...tender & juicy and flavorful! Highly recommend this local gem! read more

Food was really good. We did have an issue getting seated, after being called in, the owner crossed our name off the list and told us we would be seated next. This caused confusion with their staff as they thought we were already seated and started to continue to seat parties after us. We waited another 40 minutes before getting seated which was frustrating. They did not acknowledge this mistake. After being seated, service was good and food came out fast. read more

Well, I don't know how I feel. The sushi is good. The poke bento box had too much Crispy stuff on top of the fish. (See picture) Something was always wrong with our order. For example no chopsticks or soy sauce with our order of sushi and other food. The ramen, I guess it depends who is in the kitchen if it's good or not. Ordered the same thing 3 different times. One time it was amazing. The other times it wasn't. Josh is the best. Always helpful and corrected our wrong order. We got a to go order and spent over $70 and she wanted to charge me for a cup of ice on a hot summer day. Not sure how I feel. Give it a go. Let me know. read more

I was driving back to OC from a trip to Mammoth and wanted some Asian food. Japanese ramen sounded like the perfect thing to have after a weekend full of mountain burgers and bbq. The ramen was flavorful and the noodles were perfectly al dente. I especially liked the chicken karaage. The chicken was juicy and had a light, crispy coating. The lunch special was totally worth the price too! The service was friendly and quick. read more

Pleasantly surprised to find this Japanese ramen place in Bishop. After a long trip in the cold desert. I craved for a hot bowl of noodles. I was so happy that I had the opportunity to enjoy a hot bowl of yummy Ramen in a cold winter night. We got our seats fast and delicious food to our table was soon after. My ramen bowl was enticing and filled with fresh ingredients like special vegetables, mushrooms, and meat. The broth is tasty and flavorful, just the way I like it. The host and the servers are polite, friendly, and nice. The ambiance is warm, even in the cold winter season. This place is EPIC! You must visit to support this amazing local restaurant and make your belly super happy like mine. Bon Appetite! read more

After having been to the one in mammoth a few years back, we were happy they were opening one down the street from our house!! Hear me out, the prices are high but the food does not disappoint. We ordered everything to go. The staff is extremely friendly! I had asked about their spicy balls and they put some on the side for my fiancé and I to try. I would say they taste more like spices vs actually being hot/spicy. But still good! The black garlic tonkatsu ramen was delicious. The pork was also tender and flavorful. Their chicken karaage is great too! Lots of meat and flavor. Will definitely be recommending and going back! read more
