We continually asked about our orders and were told they were "on their way". 30 more minutes. Still no mains other than the cooked food. The poor server was also our bartender and none of this was his fault. If something was going to be this late we would've appreciated not being mislead. Also-- for full disclosure we said that food could come out as it was ready. Not forcing them to have it all at the same time. If you enjoy waiting more than 2 hours for your food to be delivered-- here's the place for u

Came to Goma for a special occasion and had mixed feelings. My boyfriend and I had previously gone…read moreto Ginko and regretted not getting the omakase, so we made sure to order Goma's version of it, the Gomakase. First, I got one of their cocktails, which had the consistency of cough syrup and tasted strongly of liquor. Most of their cocktails were made with cheap liquor (think Bacardi) which turned me off, especially for an upscale restaurant. The Gomakase undoubtedly had great quality ingredients; some of the darker pieces were absolutely delicious. We LOVED the eel and the fatty tuna. However, the rice on every piece was undercooked and a little crunchy, and I feel that poorly cooked rice is a deadly sin in Asian cuisine. It definitely texturally detracted from the experience. Overall, I feel that Goma is more geared towards an opulent tourist population rather than trying to stick to Japanese authenticity. I think for the price we paid, we could have gotten something better.

This place gets very busy depending on when you go so it gets a little too tight for comfort. I kind of felt like people were eating on top of me when we were seated eating dinner with a group of friends. Service is decent but if you want to go for drinks, it's probably best to just go to the bar for faster service. We ordered a couple of dishes to share and try. I ordered the Banh Bao and the presentation is there until you open up the bao. I was very disappointed to see more fat to actual meat ratio in my dish. It was also a little bland so I got a little more disappointed that we paid so much for bland food. I think the only thing we did like was the fried calamari because I would have never thought to dip it in sweet chili sauce.

Although you can hear every single conversation around you, it isn't a bother. Suggestion, play some cool Asian fusion music to enhance the experience. Our servers left something to be desired. The initial interaction with the lady serving bread only knew 3 words...bread, one or two. I wanted to communicate with her, but wearing an outdoor winter vest and her disconnected behavior canceled that attempt. Tyler was our server who we barely saw. I had to ask his name, and thats a pet peeve to start. He never cleared our bread and butter dishes ...also annoying to have dirty dishes in front of me...especially after I pushed them to the edge ... a clear indication to take it away. Now the food. My corn chicken chowder was served hot and creamy. Loved it. The spinach, mushroom and mozarella stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breast perched atop over cooked bok choy... laced atop bacon rice and surrounded by a 5spice seasoning was beautiful BUT overwhelming. The price was cool at $26 , however I doubt ANYONE can eat this serving. It would be better a smaller portion and lesser price. It was seriously enuf food for more than 2 people unless your just a gluten. I wish I had room for dessert because they all look like a work of art! Kudos but also let's be more reasonable. I may give it another try but probably for lunch. I dont eat that much!

This was our first visit to Wild Mango. The room was beautiful and the chairs were comfortable…read more We were seated promptly and received our food promptly. Our server was friendly and asked if our food was alright when we were served. We didn't see her much after that. It seemed she was the only waitperson in the room and we were at the end of her list. I wanted another roll and had to flag down a bus person to ask for it. It arrived after I finished the meal, so I took it home with the leftovers. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. My steak was a little more than medium but still OK. The salads were huge and a shared portion was more than adequate. We split the mango cheesecake for desert. It was beautifully presented and dense, smooth and tasty. All in all, although not perfect, it was a good experience at a fair price.

It was Valentines weekend and we went on Friday which means it wasn't crowded at 5:30 yet. We were the 2nd table seated and while there the host set next customers all in an arms reach. Where we could hear each other's conversations. She could have set us more apart I felt like especially when a family of four came in with two young kids, totally ruined the ambience of the restaurant being Valentine's Day eve. When the waitress approached our table, she would stand behind me and start to talk, and I had to turn around to look at her. She should have come to the center of the table, which had plenty of room to view both of us. Plus since she was standing behind me at first, I thought she was talking to another table. Then my husband told me she was asking us questions. This place is over an hour drive for us so won't return.

I have been lucky enough to eat at some amazing restaurants in North America and throughout Europe…read more I really wanted to leave a great review for this local restaurant... I really wanted to. Since a number of our friends have been to this establishment and left great reviews, I really wanted to do the same. I really wanted to. However, I'm struggling to do so. It started with our table not being ready yet, no worries there, we understand. The host took us to a lovely little alcove and sat the four of us down and we were quickly approached by the Sommelier. This establishment obviously takes their wine very seriously, almost to the point of being pretentious. But not all of us are wine drinkers. Due to an allergy to sulfites. When we looked at the list of available mixed drinks, nothing really appealed... So my wife asked for a simple vodka and tonic. She was informed that that was not one of the "APPROVED" drinks that they offered. What !?! They have vodka, they have tonic... Why can't we get what we want? When my friend requested an IPA he was informed that IPAs don't pair well with the food offerings, consequently, they do not have that option. Frankly, shouldn't that be HIS decision what he feels pairs with HIS palette and not the restaurants? Just a bit pretentious. Did I mention I really wanted to write a great review? So we sucked it up and ordered two glasses of overpriced white wine ($18 for a glass of mediocre wine) and two of the "approved" drinks offered. At this point, I'd like to state that the service we received other than the initial pretension exhibited by the wine Sommelier, was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and well trained and the support staff made sure that our water glasses were filled. Thankfully, I can leave a great review with regards to them. Now to the food... the dumpling sampler was delicious. The four of us ordered the ribs, the duck, the beef and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. Honestly, almost all of the dishes were deliciously prepared, albeit a bit modest on the quantity of food presented. Our waiter initially suggested that these could be shared... I'm not sure how we would do that with the smaller plates offered as entrées. My noodles, however, came out as a solid chunk of over microwaved noodles, the kind that you get if you forget to take your Costco ramen out of the microwave in time. It was a solid block of dried out noodles. I was about to call our waiter over and ask that they give it another shot. When out of the corner of my eye I saw my wife giving me "the look", don't make it a thing her eyes said to me. So I took my chopsticks and pried the noodles apart, and tried to mix them with the sauce as best as I could. So to summarize; *A little too pretentious on the whole drink thing. I think they're trying too hard. *Service was great *Three out of four entrees were a success * $17 for a mixed drink is pricey but doable, $18 for mediocre wine not so much. As I mentioned, I really wanted to leave a good review... sadly other than the waiter and the support staff I find it difficult to do. Thank you

They have a bar and patio, garage doors in front. Lots of seating. It's got a nice modern motif. Lots of wood. Menu is not too big. I decided to go simple for my first time. I got the chicken sandwich. It comes with fries, kewpie mayo, cucumber salad, choice of sauce. I got the Korean bbq. Bun comes branded. Decent amount of fries but as usual I got lots of little stubby fries. End of bag fries. They were just OK. Not any extra flavor just deep fried. Sandwich was good. Very sloppy. Korean bbq was good! Didn't taste the cucumber salad. Too bad I was looking forward to it. Cucumber salad comes on the sandwich. Needs more of that. My partner got the wings. 10 of the crispy. These were good. Crunchy and a bit salty. So if you have a salt thing you might not want those. The cole slaw was good. Prices are around $15 range. Some things more some a bit less but mostly in the $15 range. They have a full bar. We didn't drink. Have about 6 beers on tap. Looks like a full bar. TV's for entertainment. Steady biz. People eating in and taking out. Cute place. Warning water in the bathroom is hot and comes out full force. Be careful it could be messy. Next time trying something else. Lots of Korean options that sound good!

We were able to order off of the half prices menu since it was Tuesday which offers a large amount of rolls from more traditional ones to their house specialties. They also have a huge menu along with a totally vegan menu so you are bound to find something you will enjoy. The packaging was excellent for takeout and everything arrived properly and in tact. We even ordered extra sauces and they were sealed tightly. The price is great for the amount of food that you get for the Tuesday deal. All of the fish tasted fresh and delicious and great texture. Although we did not try anything crazy, it was just a good sushi especially for takeout. I know it is not everyone's favorite either but they give a ton of ginger/wasabi which is my personal favorite addition so I am glad that they add that. Both the raw and fried rolls were delicious, my personal favorite was probably the dancing tuna or the spicy california roll. I would really like to try this place again and try some more and different options!

When we got sat, it took around 15 minutes for a server to greet us and when she did, the energy shifted. I understand people have bad days but the tip percentage is decided upon the quality of service. A bitter attitude and a lack of attention is not the usual expectation when dining out. When our appetizer arrived, disappointed accompanied it. The Bang Bang Shrimp has always been a crowd favorite; this time around it was burnt yet soggy pieces of shrimp. The sauce was enveloped by the taste of frying oil, causing the flavor to be bitter. By the time our entrees arrived, morale was at an all time low but the first bite of my roll made up for it. The Ichiban roll is unique- asparagus with spicy salmon and yellow tail may sound bizarre but it works. I've come to the conclusion that Sakana is purely a sushi restaurant. I have never been displeased by the quality and flavor of the sushi. Henceforth I will be ordering off the sushi menu and I recommend you do the same.
