    A coworker once joked that he always runs into me at every decent Japanese restaurant in south…read morebay--and Gochi is one of it. Yes, he should not have been surprised. As a devoted fan of Japanese cuisine, I am truly grateful to the person who first introduced me to this spot. Since then, it has become my definitive go-to for a slightly more upscale, formal lunch with closed friends whenever we have the time to sit and savor a good meal. My typical lunch rotation consists of their excellent donburi bowls: the Niku Kimchi Don(for when I'm going for strong flavor that day), the Tori Nanban Don (for when I'm craving perfectly deep-fried comfort), and my all-time favorite, the Mabo Tofu Don. The Mabo Tofu Don here is an absolute standout to me. It is a brilliant Japanese interpretation of the classic Sichuan dish, trading the traditional numbing spicy for a deeper, savory-sweet flavor profile that is equally delicious. The technical execution of the ingredients is flawless. The minced pork is thoroughly marinated with absolutely no pork odor, and it melds perfectly with their rich Japanese-style fermented bean paste. The addition of the deep-fried eggplant elevates the bowl entirely. If I had tasted eggplant prepared this way during my childhood, it would have cured my eggplant-phobia instantly--the exterior is impeccably crisp, while the inside remains tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Crowned with a perfectly soft-poached onsen egg and served over high-quality rice, the dish achieves a wonderful, multi-layered texture and flavor profile that makes for an incredibly satisfying lunch. I have been on a five-visit streak ordering this Mabo Don, but I promise to eventually break the cycle so I can share my thoughts on the Niku Kimchi and Tori Nanban bowls with my fellow Yelpers soon!

    Though the plaza it sits in isn't particularly eye-catching, Gochi is an aesthetically lovely…read morerestaurant with a Japanese-style interior. The parking lot isn't massive, but finding a spot isn't difficult, if my experience is anything to go by. Solo and duo diners are usually seated at normal tables, but large parties have the option of sitting in shoes-off washitsu rooms with tatami mats. The menu is very large, with specific sections condensing their vegetarian & gluten-free offerings. You get a paper menu detailing their specials, and the rest of the menu is accessed through a QR code (which I am personally not a fan of). True to its self-identification as a Japanese fusion tapas spot, the menu ranges from sashimi to soba to risotto korokke to pizza and so on. I recommend eating family-style with a group, as portion sizes are definitely tapas-sized, and trying a little bit of a lot is the best way to experience what Gochi has to offer. Though the atmosphere is great for a date night, the two-seater tables are set up very close to each other, so there won't be much privacy. Most of the dishes I found to be good, but perhaps not exceedingly impressive. The yuzu ceviche was stellar, with fresh fish and a strong citrus flavor, but the accompanying potato chips were a little thick and lacking salt. The sashimi was beautifully presented and fresh, but the pieces were a little smaller than I had expected. The risotto korokke was alright as well; the sauce was great, but the risotto inside was a little bland. Overall, I thought this to be a decently enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, and the food is varied and interesting. The dishes range from being pretty affordable small dishes to a little too pricey to be worth what you get, so I'd definitely spend a little extra time perusing the menu. I will likely return to try some of the other items in the future.

    A few years back I was on a major empanada kick. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to really…read morefulfill those cravings at any particular business. It's like an unobtainable quest but whenever I have the chance to fill that empty void, I do so by randomly sampling. So what makes a good empanada? To me, I look for a buttery and flaky outer shell. This should not be overly oily or dense. The dough ratio should not overpower the filling and the empanada should be able to hold the stuffed contents well. I personally gravitate towards savory fillings which should be moist but not soggy. Best Artisan Empanadas menu offers a long list of drinks ranging from espresso, teas, lattes, frappes, smoothies, and alcoholic drinks. The empanadas come in savory and sweet options. These can be purchases as is or served with sides, turning the item into a full blown meal. There are 4 different salads available for those who want a healthier alternative. As a quick snack and first attempt of trying out BAE, my sister and I made the purchase of: *Mango Tropical Shaker *Chicken & Mushroom Empanada *Traditional Beef Empanada *Argentinian Chimichurry Sauce The empanadas are amazing when it comes to the dough standpoint. Bae has the recipe down to a T and will make even the toughest eater a fan! The chicken and mushroom empanada was exceptionally delicious- creamy, flavorful, and very tasty. I would have easily grabbed another if we didn't already have plans for our next bite. The traditional beef empanada was good but the raisins totally threw me off. The plump, overly sweet raisins weren't a good combo with the salty olives according to my tastebuds. Again, this was still very doable but I made sure to remove each raisin I came across. The mango tropical shaker was okay, just a little too sweet for me. 5/5 stars for BAE's empanadas. I eagerly look forward to trying the panzerotto [pizza], chorizo, and assorted breakfast empanadas. Parking is disastrously busy so come here with patience- it'll be worth all the hassle. I promise!

They have a good variety of Peruvian empanadas and the place smelled really good. My boyfriend and I shared the Beef, Lomo Satado, and the Peach Blueberry! The flavors in both the Beef and Lomo was perfect with the seasoning and what was surprising is the Mango Chutney which made it even more tastier; it had a sweet but tangy profile. The peach and blueberry as a sweet treat was a perfect close out to our lunch.

Every dish was full of flavor, and we really enjoyed the food. What made the experience even better was the service.

One thing that really stood out to me was that he proactively asked if anyone at the table had any food allergies. I often forget to mention that I have a shellfish allergy, so I truly appreciated him asking before we ordered. That level of attention to detail made me feel safe and well taken care of. Oswaldo also had fantastic recommendations for both cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages, and every suggestion was spot on. Throughout the meal, he checked in on us frequently without ever being intrusive, making sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, and every member of the staff we encountered was kind and welcoming. However, Oswaldo's exceptional service really elevated our entire experience. He made us feel genuinely cared for, and it's clear he takes pride in providing outstanding customer service.

You can also check out the bar to see if there are empty spots and then you can get seated right away (I didn't know this!). Starting with appetizers, every table gets a complimentary chips and guac which is refillable and very delicious. The chips are very fresh and crispy which pairs well with both sauces. For the entree, my favorite is the salmon bowl. It has salmon, broccolini, sweet potato, quinoa, etc. which all pairs really well together. It's definitely a nutritious meal worth the price. I was surprised that their cheese quesadilla was so good - the flour tortilla is extra crispy and the sour cream, guac and salsa all go well with the pieces. Also another dish worth the price! For the drinks, they have a watermelon seasonal agua fresca and margarita. The watermelon juice is so tasty and refreshing for the summer. Also want to shout out the waiters and how they are so attentive and friendly. They definitely check in on your table a lot. Definitely coming back!
