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!
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.
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.
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!
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!!!!!
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.
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.

My new favorite go-to local sushi place for takeout. It has become a once a week routine for fresh sushi. My favorite roll is the Dark Angel but lately I've been into the spicy salmon bowl which is just a delicious bowl of rice, avocado, seaweed, mango and spicy salmon. I'm looking forward to the weekend when I can order it again! read more

MY daughter and I stopped in for a quick lunch. She's one of those nervous, picky eaters, so I always take any opportunity to try and expand her mind and taste buds. Her choice was a.spicy Kani roll (a predictable safe choice for her, no raw fish). She thought it was delicious. My choice was the direction I usually go: something I've never had - a roll off the Chef Signature Roll list - Paradise Cake. I wasn't disappointed with the adventure. The citrus mayo was tasty, just the right amount of roe, and fresh fish. And the rice was perfect. As an extra amount of torture... I mean aforementioned mental and palate expansion, I ordered some yellowtail sashimi for Miss Picky to try and overcome the apprehension of eating raw fish. She surprised even herself that she liked it. The lady serving us kept my hot green tea coming and was very friendly. It's not rich in ambiance, just a few seats, but still comfortable. Based on our experience, I'd recommend people give it a try. read more

Run, don't walk! This place is incredible!! Hands down the best sushi I've had in the area and arguably in all of CT. Gohan is family owned and operated. The interior is clean, bright, and comfortable. It's small inside and they do have take-out. We were greeted by the owner and sushi chef. He was so pleasant and welcoming. He offered us some information about menu items and suggestions. We ordered miso soup and edamame while we decided on some rolls. The miso soup was perfect! And we enjoyed the edamame too. We ordered two Chef's Signature rolls and one of their special rolls. The Tiger roll was so bright and delicious! It had spicy salmon, mango, avocado, and a delicious sauce, topped with a thinly sliced lemon. Unbelievable! Absolutely beautiful and delicious. We also had the Spring Breeze roll with salmon, white tuna, avocado, and cucumber. Very nicely done and amazing flavors. The special roll we had was called Flame Touch... omg. What a roll! It was spicy tuna, avocado, scallion, topped with a piece of ribeye steak and thinly sliced jalapeño. Out of this world!! The flavors in that roll, and all the rolls we had were so delicious, unique, creative, and fresh!! Go support these amazing people! We spoke to the wife and she was explaining to us that in Japan, it takes 5 years of study just to become a master with cooking rice. There is so much education, effort, creativity, and expertise put into this amazing sushi restaurant. The chef is simply outstanding. Highly recommend!!! read more

My husband, mother-in-law and myself stopped here on our way to NY from NH. We are so glad we happened upon this amazing little sushi spot right off the highway for dinner. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The presentation of the food is incredible and very fresh. Everyone loved what they got. No leftovers for me! If we lived here we would definitely be back ASAP. They let us know they opened up just 6 months ago and I wish them continued success. Go support this amazing local restaurant if you're in the area! read more
