Gochi Cupertino

"Reserved a separate room, but did not like to seat on the floor, and needed to take your shoes off. This is only good for younger generation. The food was very good but a little pricey"

"gochi delivers on all marks - from the cozy japanese table interior, to the friendly service, to the tasty food. this seemingly gimmicky tapas restaurant serves hits all around. the menu is a little overwhelming which is usually a bad sign but all the recommended dishes were great. make sure to book a reservation through yelp. overall, would come back and great with a group to share. hamachi carpaccio: fresh fish, great acidity. would recommend gyuhire grill (beef tenderloin): so flavorful and rich. would recommend yuzu ceviche: another great starter with tasty ceviche. loved the fried chips and yuzu flavor okonomiyaki style pizza: unique pizza dish also pretty good but a little forgettable unagi menshi: must get!! amazing textures from the crispy rice on its own to the soft and warm rice when broth was added. also well seasoned and good unagi portion."

"Awesome Japanese fusion food. Love the clay pot rice and pizza. Get a reservation early! A heads up is sine seats require you to remove your shoes"

"Great Japanese tapas - a landmark restaurant that has been around for a while. Always packed (reservations are hard to come by even for weekday lunch) and quality is always good. Nice traditional interior which is good for cozy conversation. Extensive menu. Authentic and highly recommended."

"Gochi has a good atmosphere and service. Out of all the dishes, I enjoyed the "Sirloin Steak." I felt the other dishes could use more seasoning or a kick. There aren't any options for you to enhance the flavor if needed. The "Tori Soboro Meshi" was a dish I wish came out sooner. It is a ground chicken claypot, that is good for those who prefer lighter meals. We got this near the end of our meal. I couldn't find anything salty though to compliment it even if it did come out a bit earlier. We tried several like the "Yuzu Ceviche", "Kani Cream Korokke", and "Mentai Kinoko", but they didn't hit the savory craving I had. They have a take off your shoes rule. The restaurant has a traditional tatami mat style aesthetic. Servers gave water refills at regular intervals. Overall, I wouldn't come back since I prefer savory dishes. The novelty of the atmosphere is a plus though. If you or your group enjoy light to mild foods, this is a good spot. Would highly recommend putting in a reservation though since it gets crowded quickly."
