Father's Day Dinner
Katie E.

Where the true art of Japanese cuisine comes to life. This tiny gem of a restaurant creates a beautiful and balanced experience. Rachel is the owner or manager I am guessing. She is very passionate about the menu and is very attentive to everyone. Thankfully, as our food was served she was there to explain that the best way to experience the chef's creation is to eat it as it presented (without soy sauce) first. She went on to explain that each dish is created with specific textures and flavors in mind to create an intentional balanced bite. She is absolutely correct and I am so glad we listened. In fact, after trying the "second" bite with soy sauce, we recognized that it was much better without it. The soy sauce is homemade and delicious but the sushi is so perfectly executed, it really does not need anything at all to shine. This is not your average sushi joint. The food and service will blow you away. Get the Princess Peach Roll if it's available. The Tiger Roll and the Flame Touch were also fantastic. Hint: the tiger roll comes with lemon slices on top - do not remove the lemon. Trust me.

We've been hearing great things about Gohan Sushi for a while now, and I'm so happy we finally made the visit! We were lucky to snag a table for two and know to make reservations next time. The menu is primarily sushi, and I gravitated towards some of their unique speciality rolls, like the heaven roll with tempura banana and shrimp (which worked surprisingly well), and the flame touch roll with steak. The chicken katsu was delicious too! My husband loves Dragon Ball, so we loved seeing the references on the menu. Very attentive service from our waitress and the owner. We will be adding this into our rotation of go-to sushi spots!

Chicken Katsu w.White Rice (rated 2/5)
Tramy T.

Favorite: spicy salmon roll!!! Great lunch deal, would definitely come back. 2 rolls for 12.95, 3 rolls for 17.95. Chicken katsu was alright as is, coleslaw on the side or curry sauce would definitely add to it. Definitely need to Try: Paradise cake & Tiger roll next time. Service was great! And ambiance was cozy!

The Food is amazing here! Wonderful service and quick. The Omakase was flown directly from Japan

Delish. Kani salad was the star of the show. Absolutely incredible. One of the best I've ever had. Roll was fresh & creative.

Shrimp Tempura or dragon roll? Guess

I've seen the accolades... Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2025. I've seen it all over IG. I had to try it of course. It's located in a plaza and it's a small, cozy spot; there were about 7 tables. I don't think they accept reservations. We went on Saturday for dinner, there were a group of about 15 to 20 and then my family. I was glad we were able to get a table for 4! The service was great! Food came out fast too. My kids had the chicken katsu with fries which they enjoyed. My husband had the sashimi platter and Philly roll, which he said was fresh and tasty. I ordered 3 sushi rolls: Dragon Roll- it had crispy tempura shrimp, avocado wrapped in sushi rice and nori seaweed; it was topped with eel sauce and sesame seeds. Shrimp Tempura Roll- which had Tempura Shrimp, Avocado, Cucumber, Tobiko, and Homemade Eel Sauce Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll- fresh minced tuna, seaweed, rice, and I believe popped rice to make it crunchy Honestly, all delicious. I couldn't find a negative. The sushi were fresh and innovative. The menu had so many delicious options that I wanted to try all of it in one sitting, if I was a rich sumo wrestler lol. Yes, it's worth the hype and I'll be back soon!

Despite countless friends, particularly the foodies, raving about Gohan, my countless trips to the plaza for other reasons, and my love of sushi, I for some reason had never been until yesterday. The long anticipation and acclaim made for extremely high expectations, and I have to say they were met! It was pretty incredible sushi. Everyone there was super friendly and welcoming. The space is small, but tables are arranged nicely to maximize space as best they can. The servers were happy to give suggestions and asked what types of things I usually enjoyed. I had also been told by friends that the special rolls were a must. I over ordered to have leftovers, so I went with one of the special rolls my server recommended which was the sashimi roll, then the heaven roll, a yellowtail-scallion roll, and a sweet potato roll. Execution and technical skill was top tier. I was really impressed. Even the small details, knife cuts, ingredient ratios and proportions. Careful thought was clearly put into each roll. The special rolls were brilliantly conceived. The heaven roll was my favorite, and had avocado, and tempura shrimp and banana. Then the sashimi roll was rice-less, and had spicy crunchy yellowtail-tuna-salmon and mango inside, and then more raw tuna & salmon, avocado and thinly sliced lemon on top. It was served with a chili sauce intended for dipping. I was asked to try the special rolls as intended first. It was perfect as is! They have homemade soy sauce even, but I only used a little bit with the sweet potato and yellowtail rolls. Hardly needed. Excellent ginger and wasabi too, and plating was of course done with care as well. It was a great experience overall. Prices were great, especially for the quality. Very average even though nothing else about the experience was. If totally understand why Gohan is so beloved, and I am happy to report I now love it too. I anxiously look forward to trying more rolls!

My wife and I have been really enjoying a new found love of sushi so on a recent date night I searched for top sushi restaurants in the state and we made a drive. Glad we made a reservation because there are only maybe ten small tables and all were filled when we arrived on a Thursday evening. Food was all excellent. The best gyoza I've had and the homemade soy sauce was a nice kicker. Rolls we had were all excellent and we absolutely will be back.

2 roll lunch special - spicy tuna and spicy salmon.
Michele F.

Small, very modern establishment with excellent service! I stopped by for lunch and got the 2 roll lunch special with miso soup and a seaweed salad. Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend!

Spicy Salmon Bowl
Adrienne N.

I am obsessed. I see why it's a fan favorite and ranked on Yelp's Top 100 in the US. Gohan is now my #1 favorite for sushi. Like honestly in the entire country. It is on the smaller side because it's so unassuming in the middle of a strip mall. But the chefs are incredible with wonderful servers. The owner is the sweetest woman ever and she loves chatting with everyone coming in. Everything is made in house, even the soy sauce. The art and craft behind what is put on the menu is amazing. You should absolutely check them out!!!!!

Top to bottom on the left - Spicy crunchy tuna, Philly Roll, Alaska roll  Right top to bottom - Dark Angel Roll, Tiger Roll

Super fresh, delicious and unique sushi, friendly and helpful staff, and a beautiful and very clean and well decorated spot. We waited far too long to try Gohan and will be back again very soon!!

Kevin D.

Very good sushi, worth the trek. Came here because of the top 100 list entry. Plaza is very unassuming, in the middle of a shopping district. When we came, the restaurant was 15 minutes from closing. They take an hour for lunch every day, and shut down fully. They let us order to go though, so we put in our order rapidly and waited in the car. Food came out quickly, took some pics and dug in. The sushi was top notch, even if they were all to-go. The tuna was treated well, fresh and seasoned lightly. The wasabi was fresh and the ginger was punchy. The flaming torch roll was beefy and toasty, the dark angel roll was tangy, creamy and spicy. The only issue was the spicy tuna was a little mushy with little texture difference. We would've loved actually dining in and getting the full experience, but if this is the quality one gets when they are closing up just shows their commitment to their craft. It's really good sushi.

Omakase Platter For 2
Vy H.

The sushi here lives up to its hype! The sushi rolls were fresh and creative. The service is good, seems like they have a lot of regulars and since it's such a small place, you'd get recognize quickly if you came a few times. There's only seating for about a max of 20 people or 5 separate tables, really small. They only serve nonalcoholic drinks and I think they are BYOB.

Each person gets a menu to fill out in the beginning, and when you've made good progress on your first round of food, the waiter comes by with your second paper. I loved the sweet potato tempura, but looking back, I should have only ordered 3 servings because god that was filling. I barely managed to finish everything that I ordered. The seaweed salad lived up to everyone's hype on here, so I'm glad I got to try it. As for the sushi, I liked the Samurai Roll, but thought the Dragon Roll was 85% cucumber and 15% eel inside--not as satisfying. The salmon and mackerel sashimi were decent though. And the tamagoyaki (egg) was a little too sweet for my liking... I should make it myself at home soon. Since we went on the weekend, each person had a base cost of $30, but I feel like what I ate was worth more than that. Big W. Come here if you want to eat a lot!

Flavors were unbelievable, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did! I felt both fulfilled and content with what I ordered and paid for. Our server was kind and made us feel comfortable. For appetizers, I ordered both the Shumai (Shrimp Dumplings) steamed, and the Soft-Shell Crab that was breaded and fried ... delicious. For entrees, the Red Lion Roll was absolutely amazing! I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did! The Salmon Roll was also ordered, that one tasted good too. Since I'm still experimenting with raw fish, I'd say it's something I'd have to get more used to. Would totally eat here again, definitely recommend if you enjoy sushi and Japanese food!

I was so pleasantly surprised from our first visit at Sakana that I had to make a return trip later…read morethe same week. It was a humble reminder that you don't need to go to a culinary destination to find good food. Cheshire Connecticut may not be known for its food scene, however, I found Sakana was a genuine diamond in the rough. My expectations were admittedly low going in. My level of skepticism is always high when I see the "Asian Bistro" moniker, as it is frequently used for restaurants to try to appeal to the masses at the expense of quality by having a "jack-of-all-trades" menu that lacks the technical intricacies and mastery required for specific dishes. Additionally, these establishments tend to follow a "cookie-cutter" menu and offer the same boring dishes you can find at every other Asian Bistro. Even when initially walking towards the restaurant, I had my doubts. The exterior of Sakana honestly looked more like a clinic than a restaurant. Once I saw the menu however, my skepticism shifted towards optimism. For a local bistro, they feature a surprisingly extensive wine and cocktail menu, including premium sake options. I was particularly impressed to find toro on the menu; although it's undoubtedly becoming more of a trend in Connecticut, I was nevertheless happy to see it offered at Sakana as well. Overall I liked their sushi selections and everything I ordered was well-prepared and tasted fresh. We ordered a chicken and broccoli for our daughter and found the chicken tender and broccoli perfectly cooked. That may not sound impressive to those reading, but you'll be surprised how many restaurants fail to execute this baseline dish correctly. The service, although pleasant, was probably the only "weak link" of our experiences here. The quality of service was noticeably inconsistent between our two visits, and they would benefit vastly from having a more reliable and experienced front-of-house team to match the execution coming from the kitchen and sushi bar. Despite this minor gripe, Sakana was a standout. As long as I'm in the area, they will definitely be among the top of my list of places to eat!

So friendly. Is the food exceptional? To me no, but my parents enjoy it. Tonight we started with crab rangoons. Pretty good. Sauce on the side not very exciting. A chili sauce would be better. I got a sushi roll with White tuna inside and cooked shrimp on top and wasabi mayo. I forget the name of the roll but it was better than the two times I've ordered takeout. Miso soup was also good. Their soup bowls are in the shape of a heart which is super cute. Dad got some sort of a mixed protein dish with brown sauce (had shrimp, chicken and beef). Mom got the chicken and garlic sauce. They both got fried rice on the side. I tried it and it was very bland. Dad also got a salad with his meal and the ginger dressing was not very good. Red coloring to it. Usually ginger dressing is more on the orange side. Dad also got the Malaysian chicken coconut soup to start and it could use a bit more flavor. Was a bit watery. Mom loved her sweet and sour soup. Nice that this place is 5 minutes away. Cheshire needs more restaurants. Def not my fav restaurant in town though. Food to me is just ok.
