So this is a bit of a mixed review… Specifically in regards to the chef’s tasting menu presented for valentine’s day weekend. For 150$ a person we were SHOCKED that there was no regular drink menu offered. Mind you several resos here in my history and no issues with the standard day to day offerings and menu it’s always fantastic! Not big on wine or beer whatsoever and the only offering was 75$ for SEVEN drinks. Who drinks 7 beverages with their dinner regardless of alcohol content??? Not us. If we had chosen that we definitely wouldn’t have been able to finish the 7 course dishes, not a chance. The food was delicious as usual, but the limited offerings was a real bummer for our evening especially for the price. We have previously dined at Umi who offers a 7 course omakase for 95$ and in my opinion the quality is way better for a fraction of the cost. I would love to grab seats at another tasting menu at GG if there was even just a limited cocktail menu offered 3-4 drinks, not everyone wants to have 7 cocktails with a single meal and the only other option beer/wine. I would have even loved to purchase one of the exclusive drinks from the list at whole price as 7 drinks for 75$ is relatively cheap. I would to see some updates and changes for this experience with the cocktail situation considering the price for future otherwise we will just be sticking to the regular dinner service. Again no knocks on the food everything was superb, but being used to their normal cocktail menu (also amazing) and then the only option with liquor presented 7 full size drinks (the people next to us had them they were all typical cocktail glasses) I just expected better.

We went for the Valentine’s Day dinner. The food was thoughtful, the drinks were creative, the service was attentive, and the ambience was electric as a result.

The aesthetic was unmatched, it’s more of an intimate setting which was really nice for our small group. Our server was very sweet and explained the menu when we had questions. I loved the sushi, it was so fresh! The gyoza was amazing and the Karage was seasoned perfectly! I will definitely be back!

Amazing food, great ambience, good service... This felt like a more asian-fusion place compared to Gijin. We got the wagyu & potatoes dish, grilled chicken, and 2 cocktails. Only complaint is that the space is quite narrow, and I wish there was more room in the walkway.

The food, drinks, service and venue were all amazing! We truly enjoyed every single bit of that part of the experience. The only down-check was the “background” music. It was FAR FAR TOO LOUD. As a result, we found it somewhat difficult to converse in normal tones. We felt that very loud music detracted from the experience.

We enjoyed the evening at Golden Gai. Although we liked sitting at the bar, we were a bit surprised that there are virtually no tables (and we have commented that Gi Jin has few tables & none for 2 people). It would be hard to dine here with more than 2. Although We did talk to very nice people by us. The bar menu was very interesting and very unique. The food was also very very good but more straightforward than Gi Jin…. Less small plates, more entrees and straight sushi. Maybe the average clientele here is more geared that way(?). But we missed some of the more inventive dishes. The price … that’s another issue. It’s very expensive. Really. And you aren’t eating at a bar/counter, and if you didn’t purposely pace out your dishes, you could be gone in 30 minutes maybe that was why the majority of people in there were probably in their late 20s. That seems to be their way…..Money is no object, and eating isn’t the evening activity. Still we really enjoyed everything about our time there and overall it is a well run restaurant.
