Amazing food, don't dismiss the list of speciality items! Only missing salmon belly. All Nigiris were amazing, tako salad off the hook. Miso, flavor was great! Overall one of the best sushi I've had in Cali! Check out and follow me for great food around the world!

Very authentic Japanese food and high quality sushi! Resevation is recommended since the wait can be up long but it's worth your while

Goshi is a higher-quality Japanese restaurant that's still a bit casual. Staff are excellent and the food is great. Lunch specials are $22+, so you should expect to pay $40+ each after appetizers/drinks, tip, and tax. The miso soup was excellent, with good rich flavor. The edamame was perfectly steamed but too salty. The Udon soup had a good broth and nicely fermented tofu, while the rice bowl was delicious with a great variety of fish. The Nigri was adequate, with excellent texture but little flavor. Finally, the accompanying ginger and wasabi had great strong flavor.

So delicious. My niece visiting from out of state said it was the best sushi she'd ever had!! Even the chicken teriyaki is amazing here!!

Really lives up to the hype. The price is really reasonable. All the food for 2 was about $110 (including otoro which is amazing). Stacks up to if not better than import Japanese fish I’ve had for double the price in Toronto. My new go to spot if I’m feeling more authentic sushi.

Great sushi with an excellent sashimi special list. Friendly staff, excellent presentation, and super busy! Had some of my all time favs with a few new ones. Firefly squid, amber jack, seared bluefin tuna belly, and spotted prawns with fried heads.

We got here at 1 on a Wednesday and were seated after ~10 min of waiting. The lot on the side was full, so we had to find meter parking on the streets nearby. After we ordered, we ended up waiting about half an hour before our food came out due to a mix up with the kitchen. The fish was fresh, but honestly wasn't sure if it was worth the price or the wait. Might be the best option there is in SLO though. The miso soup that came with the sets was a little salty, but might've been because we got our food near their afternoon closing hours. - Tempura & Sashimi Set (3.5/5): Tempura was very good and crispy, but this probably had the lowest price:value ratio - Sashimi Set (4/5): Fish was very fresh - it basically melted in your mouth! - Chirashi Bowl (5/5): Definitely the best deal out of the sets. Came with so many large pieces of fish, as well as a nice bed of sushi rice underneath

Enjoyed Goshi with Family as TRULY AUTHENTIC Japanese food on Central Coast!!! We ordered Halibut Tempura Roll, Steak Lunch combination, Japanese fried chicken, Vegetable Tempura and a Pork Rice bowl. All made to order, quality fresh product and reasonably priced for its fresh made to order quality!!!

It’s a very cozy place. The service team is incredibly efficient and friendly and the food is delicious, thank you Goshi Japanese restaurant. 🥰

The food is excellent with great service. Its alway the quality of the ingredients which really is highlighted in every bite! The atmosphere is very nice with table views of the creek. I always prefer the traditional Japanese dishes like sushi or sashimi and rolls with one excellent ingredient and the ingredients in all cases were excellent. Uni was expensive but my favorite and was very tasty and fresh. Don't miss the dessert and my favorite was tempura persimmon with vanilla ice cream. Service was attentive and pleasant. I was happy I could use my limited Japanese. Will make this a regular stop when in SLO.

My husband has been to Japan twice, and even he said this is the closest thing he’s ever eaten compared to Japan’s authenticity. He said he’s as good as it gets. Also, I would highly recommend making a reservation because we waited about 45 minutes on a Tuesday night because that’s how busy and delicious they are. This place deserves 5 starts hands down. I don’t even eat raw fish, but I did last night because it was sooooo good! I’ve also never had noodles like that before and it was fantastic! And everything is VERY reasonably for the presentation and flavor of the food. Both the tea, beer and saki was delicious; as well as, the green tea mochi balls we had for dessert. Everything is fantastic and we will go here again! + the food and service was professional and quick despite how busy they were for a Tuesday. Well worth the wait and the BEST Sushi we ever had in our lives next to japan’s sushi. You must go!

Really great Japanese food! They even have a veggie nigiri. My son had and said it was amazing. I had the udon noodles that were just perfect. I would definitely go there again because I saw so many wonderful roles going out to the tables.

Super fresh sushi. We got the sushi boat combo ($80) with enough sushi/roll to satisfy both of us. One thing of note, all the nigiri had a dollop of wasabi between the fish and rice so don't add any of your own. The 375ml bottle of sake ($18) that the waitress recommended was perfect combo for the sushi. The super treat was the order of uni ($22/2) we got in that it was super fresh and served uniquely on a bit of seaweed that you picked up and made a mini hand (finger?) roll with.

So so sooooo good! Would give 10/5 stars if I could. Very authentic. Sashimi was fresh and nigiri was prepared by the boss himself - we had the local murasaki uni and hotate sashimi. Cooked food was also on point - we had the Nabeyaki udon. Portion was big and tempura was well fried. Easily comparable against great restaurants in Japan. Will definite return if I visit SLO again!

Goshi has opened my eyes to an incredible variety of flavors and textures. Their commitment to freshness ensures that every visit is a delightful experience. I find myself coming here 3-5 times a month, savoring their delicious food. It’s always a treat that never disappoints!

Best Japanese food in the area! Be prepared to wait in line for lunch or dinner as so many others think so too. Fresh quality sashimi and sushi. Tempura is perfect. Grilled items are tasty. Soups are hot and delicious. Rice is all around a requirement.

Ordered the deep fried chicken ($12) and kanpai boat ($80). The boat comes with cucumber salad, miso soup, daily appetizer, and salad. I noticed that there was a bit of mold on the lemon in my cucumber salad (pictures attached) after I had eaten part of it already. I informed the waitress and they brought out another salad. We informed them that we do not want the salad anymore nor felt comfortable eating the rest of the starters and asked for it to be removed from our bill. After we finished with the sushi, they brought the bill and $1.50 had been removed from the moldy-lemon cucumber salad. We thought that reduction was insulting due to the lemon having what was obviously mold and having partially eating the salad that it was a part of. (Note: There is lemon in the water and lemon in the salad.) We asked for the manager and realized it was the manager that had given brought out the replacement for the salad originally. We had expressed that taking $1.50 out of the bill was not good enough since we had partially consumed the salad. We asked if there was anything else they could do but the manager rudely refused to even offer us even a dessert. The real issue here, besides the moldy lemon, was the temperament of the manager. He was very condescending and had a clear lack of empathy for the situation. Goshi is supposed to be a fine dining experience, the last thing you would want to do is doubt the quality of the food. We expressed again that we know there was mold on the lemon and that we should be adequately compensated for it being there, but he continued to be rude and condescending. Finally, he suggested that we not tip our waitress as a recourse. As people who have been been in a customer-serving role, that was not an option and the burden should not fall on her. The starters (miso soup, cucumber salad, salad) are preassembled so it could have been sitting there for who knows how long. Is it supposed to fall on the waitress to inspect food quality? Again, the manager was not being helpful in the situation and after he had suggested we not tip the waitress, we knew that there was no use in arguing anymore. The situation was unfortunate and we will not be returning. We could have looked past the moldy lemon if even a sincere apology could have been made. It is very clear that this place does not value its customers or its employees.

The food was very yummy! They don't do substitutions, so you're stuck with the fake crab in some rolls. The dumplings were okay, you need to eat them fast cause they get cold quickly. Our server was good, you need to get there like 15 minutes before they open, they are very popular!

Very fresh, great quality sushi. The rolls were magnificent and the Omakase was absolutely terrific for its price.
