    Black Sesame Pudding. A must try!
    Celine T.

    Authentic Japanese food you can get on the island! This spot is fairly new and definitely deserves a 5-star. Katsu, Japanese curry, and side dishes were all freshly made. Loved how their tea is used with actual tea leaves, instead of tea bags. Black sesame pudding was also a great way to end the meal. Space is cozy which fits the Japanese vibe/ambiance. Service was quick and we did not have to wait to be seated on a weeknight an hour before closing. Food wait time felt a bit longer than average, but you can tell each dish is made with care & effort. Look forward to returning!

    So glad we came here for our last night in PR! Seriously the best Japanese food I've had outside Japan! Great service and the interior/atmosphere was amazing. Everything from the appetizers to entrees and the dessert was delicious. Will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.

    Heard a great things about this place so I had to come try arrived at 3 AM because Yelp said they…read moreclosed at 4 AM to my surprise we get there and they actually closed at 3 AM. I don't know if it was the owner or manager, but I had a great conversation with him which led to him asking will I accept anything that's left over in the kitchen since I was so hungry next thing you know he came out with three large bags filled with a variety of food. I gave him some money for it and told him I will be back tomorrow to try the sushi... The food I received was amazing, especially considering it was leftover scraps lol I did come back and try the sushi I consider myself a sushi connoisseur and let me tell you it was some of the best sushi I've had in my life! I will be back several times The inside was very spacious lots of tables inside and out live atmosphere all the staff went above and beyond, especially when the kitchen closed while we were inside eating and I wanted to order another roll to go haha

    Tayzan had fantastic ratings, and we love Asian food, so we had to try it. Overall disappointing on…read moreall fronts. Food: Very good vegetable soup and decent vegetable egg rolls. But the Singapore noodles were pathetic. The recipe was anything but traditional for Singapore noodles. The meats were very low quality and the flavors were all off. Also, all of our dishes were served simultaneously- no spacing of the appetizer and main dish. The temperature of everything had cooled somewhat. All dishes were warm and not hot. Service: Too many customers, too few servers. Poor service. Overall cleanliness: Below average Value: Given to poor quality and service, poor overall value

    I was recently inspired by an IG story by the supermodel, Paulina Porizkova where she spoke about…read morehow governments turn people against each other to control the population. Citing how she was born into communism, then lived in socialist countries and now has made a home in a capitalist society, she spoke with authority about what is happening in the world right now. She eloquently reminisced about her experience in a communist country, where the enemies were the capitalists who, "kept us from achieving our full potential," in the former republic of Czechoslovakia. The overarching message is that there is more power in unity than being in a fragmented society where its people scramble for truth, justice and freedom. A concept like Godai can only exist in a free society. Everywhere I went on this recent trip to Puerto Rico, I heard people talk about this restaurant: on business meetings, at drinks at a hotel bar and from local friends. Apparently, it's a bit of a social media darling among locals. And, there's good reason. What started as a speakeasy omakase establishment by chef couple Cesar and Daysi is now a full-service restaurant with 3 different spaces: izakaya, omakase tasting room and zen garden. Only in an environment where people have the liberty to pursue their passions, learn techniques from different cultures and there's a free exchange of ideas, can a restaurant in one island nation be inspired by the culinary traditions of another island nation. My dining companions and I were so inspired by the well orchestrated and attentive service, I asked Chef Cesar whether he had made everyone read Will Guidara's "Unreasonable Hospitality." He demurred with humility and said, "we're still trying, and thank you." The food was phenomenal. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've had black truffle shaved over my tuna crispy rice, and it was tasty. We also had the bluefin and salmon crudo, duck fried rice, spicy edamame, shishito peppers, robata miso black cod, Alsatian white wine, unfiltered sake and panna cotta with raspberry. I noted how authentic everything looked and tasted, but there was a local twist and cariño expressed in every dish. This was not fusion, but Japanese food seen through a local lens. It's not so much that they're trying to recreate an experience in Japan, but paying homage with respect to Japanese gastronomy. You might think that Japan and Puerto Rican cultures are polar opposites, but food brings people of all types together. Godai is a great testament of this, and Paulina would certainly enjoy this spot for so many reasons.

    Exceptional service. Staff excelled with attention to detail, being professional yet personal. Food…read morewas top notch, Worth every penny!
