Came here for dinner…read more The sushi was absolutely delish! After one bite it was a party in my mouth. Tastebuds were happy! I ordered salmon avocado and ebi panko. The ebi panko had prawn, cucumber and spicy mayo. Both were delicious and fresh. I also had traditional ramen which was equally delicious! It had original pork broth, thin noodles, bean shoot, spring onion, egg. and seaweed. Absolutely delish dinner!

As my family and I walked in to Gochi service was delivered straight away with it also being a busy environment. We were seated and served water and the menus which got me excited. I ordered the cprisy chicken, tempura prawn and cprisy salmon (with you had to ask for as it's not being on the menu). There was an order of 15 fresh sushi rolls and the wait, well I wouldn't even call it a wait. Service was defiantly spot on here with great time management. The sushi was presented lovely all cut up with ginger and wasabi on the side, yum! Everything about Gochi is amazing! -Great quality of food -Great customer service -Presentation wise of the overall place was beautiful with cute Japanese quotes all over the place. Was a great experience not only for myself but for my family with haven't tried sushi before. So it was an interesting lunch for them to finally listen to what all my bragging is about haha. See you again soon Gochi!

For a place that serves quality small plates I'm surprised it doesn't get that much business…read more Everything was simply amazing. The sashimi is so soft and flavorful rich. I'm still baffled at the salad that was served with raw meat and a tiny quail egg. I thought I tried everything Japanese by now, but that was new and amazing. The one thing that wasn't good... matcha beer. It's not a good idea, don't do it. Also wish they served their matcha without soymilk.

The food though, is beyond incredible! I have never tasted such amazing Japanese food, I have not found any other restaurant that matches or compares to KoKo. The view from the windows is also incredible, the location within Crown towers makes it so easy to get to and we have never been turned down when we call to reserve a table, They always make room for you and make you feel special. For the quality of the food, the price is so worth it! During tepenyaki the staff interact with you and make it such a fun dining experience. I never want to leave after dinner. If you are a fan of Japanese food, I recommend you get yourselves down to KoKo, You will not regret it and you sure will not find a restaurant like it.

However, the sashimi and sushi were disappointing. The sashimi were cut on the thin side and most pieces were quite dry. The fish on the sushi was comparatively less dry, but the rice was quite tasteless and occasionally fell apart. The wagyu beef udon (Niku Inaniwa udon) was the best dish out of the 3. The udon was smooth and chewy. The meat had an intense flavour. No fat was visible but the beef was not tough.

It wasn't obvious from the sidewalk a night, and I wasn't sure what I'd find as I walked down the steps to the basement location, however I was amazed at the size and cool vibe as I turned the corner into a large and modern restaurant. The food and service were great, Including offering to provide 1/2 servings because I couldn't decide between the two recommended main dishes. Definitely an "I'll be back" experience.

No one at the sushi bar or anywhere else. Moldy smell throughout which is a problem since this place is below ground. But to save a star, a great selection of sake. Menus are dirty and disorganized.

Best Nobu restaurant & experience to date!…read more Quality/Quantity - We got the Melbourne Seven Course Nobu Omakase. See pictures. Looks like my 7th course, dessert, picture got deleted or is missing, sorry. Well this has been my favorite Nobu to date, and we have been to a few. This was not on our list to visit and we weren't even hungry, but we saw it and made the impulse decision to go. Plus we did NOT expect so much food, especially since all our other Nobu restaurants were not as generous. We left so full. his experience exceeded out expectations. I also got a glass of white (NZ Sauvignon Blanc) and red, sorry, I can not remember which red I got. Also available - Happy hour from 3pm to 6pm from Monday to Thursday. Atmosphere - Good size, 2 story location. Beautiful decor, including the bathrooms. Table, booth, and bar seating available. Open 7 days a week from noon to 10:30pm or 11pm. Events available, see website. We also got seated next to the window by the fire show. Again, sorry my pictures are missing; I guess it did not get uploaded. Service - Excellent. Friendly, nice, and proactive. Price - $440AUD. FYI, by the time of this review, the Melbourne Seven Course Nobu Omakase is now only $190AUD, a $5 savings; lol. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your successes and successful partnership with Robert De Niro and Meir Teper. Congrats on your 13 hotels and 50 restaurants.

Good views of the river and city and very friendly and helpful staff.

Visiting from California…read more This is what sushi is supposed to taste like. Everyone is Japanese here. I had the omakase. They took so much attention to each piece. Each one had its own personality with a sear, a marinade or a garnish. Rice flavoring was perfect, as well as rice to fish ratio. Price point was reasonable as well. I'd come back next time I'm in Melbourne!

Most of the dishes were good, except for the sushi. The fish was fresh, but the rice was falling apart, indicating that the kitchen didn't have a good sushi chef. Service was also incredibly slow - took ages for food to arrive. What should have been a fairly quick lunch meal stretched for more than 2 hours. Worth going if there's a good discount available on TheFork, otherwise I think it is slightly pricey for the quality and the service levels.

Mid-high end Japanese restaurant, located in the same building as a hotel (Hyatt I think?)…read more I went there for a weekday lunch, as they do lunch specials. I went for the sashimi and sushi set ($48) which was good value for the amount of food you get, but the quality of the sashimi and sushi was average. For the set, you get quite a bit: chawanmushi, miso soup, a yakitori skewer, pickles, and the food you order. Extremely good value for the cheaper sets (I think like a bento for 20-30?) The sashimi and sushi set was a bit disappointing. The fishes given for the sushi and sashimi were on the cheaper end. I don't think there was even a tuna. They did give two pieces of scallop, which was tasty. Overall, I would have either expected one or two pieces of pricey fish, or a few extra pieces of sushi or sashimi. The rice was also cold, rather than slightly warm. Overall, it felt like an average sushi lunch, not fitting the mid-high end positioning they are going for. Tip: don't forget they have 20% off on EatClub; which if you use with the lunch offer, is great value for money.
