Been going to Gochiso for almost 9 years now, since it was opened. Still my favourite restaurant.
Located on on the High St, is this funky-hip interior decorated Japanese restaurant. We went in on a wet winter’s Tuesday.
The selection on the menu seems very decent. I ordered the wagyu steak bento box. The food arrive not too long thereafter. It was fab. The steak was grilled, so you get the charred bits. The meat was tender and done to the right level of medium-rare.
Overall a very decent spot. Nice and clean. Total cost of $50 for 2 bento boxes and some alcohol.
Will be back.
We came on a Saturday night at 8pm and it we packed. However the service was quick and attentive - food came promptly, dishes were cleared quickly. Food was tasty and well presented. It is a little noisy but not in any way that impacted our conversation or experience. Nice decor and atmosphere. Good local.
We love this restaurant - the food is delicious and I'm surprised it's not busier.
Love this restaurant. Now my local. Food is delicious esp sashimi platter and service excellent. Great for the kids.
Friendly service with great value. The food is gorgeous but the price is very cheap. It's really noisy when the restaurant is full. But the owner told me hanging acoustics panel would be installed shortly. If its done, there will be no issue of this restaurant, I think. I'll definitely come back soon.
Today, i went to gochiso japanese restaurant with my friend.
They have some special menu.
We tried soba salad and volcano roll.
It was amazing!!
Soba salad is with grilled eggplant and vege. It is like a main size. The home made sesame sauce is great.
When the volcano roll was served, we were surprised!! It looks like real volcano shape. The cream sauce with scallop, gave me a refreshing shock!!
The wait staffs is friendly, and more than kind.
The concrete wall art harmonize with this morden japanese food.
We are very happy to know this restaurant in willoughby!!
We are definitely back here:-)
Loved it. Gochiso lives up to its name, its delicious. I dined here recently with children in tow. The staff could not have been more welcoming. Love the fit out, concrete walls and wall art. The teriyaki salmon set is as nice as any I've eaten in Toyko. A great addition to Willoughby.
Gochiso is family friendly restaurant in the heart of Willoughby. It a small unassuming space tacked in the back of the Iceworks Willoughby. The decor is simple yet tasteful. The mastery and exceptional food quality of food in this place will quickly make you this place in new light. The food is delicious and amazing. This place is consistent in its delivery as I have been a regular of this establishment for five years. I have never left disappointed, whether it has been for lunch or dinner. I vote Gochiso as one of my top five Japanese restaurants in Sydney period!
Good food but so overpriced that I would rather fly to Japan when it opens, happily stay in quarantine and then buy a 7-eleven bento box instead of spending $40 for a bento in Sydney. I left satisfied with my stomach full and my wallet empty. Adjust your expectations before coming here.
Ordered sashimi small - good. Chunky pieces. Fresh.
Spicy tuna roll - strange because so wet due to cucumber. Small Slivers of tuna fish - maybe it’s the offcuts?
Edamame.
Ceviche - delicious.
Over priced good food. Limited menu.
Nice, open layout. Small seating area.
Thank you!
The restaurant is in the back of a complex. It has simple decor. It is a quiet place not too busy on the day we came. The food was promptly prepared, and tasted authentic Japanese. The sizes were good size and there’s a nice selection of lunch menus and wine list. Recommended!
Update - 7/11/21 - another outstanding meal from Gochiso. The Chef's Selection sashimi was brilliant. Quality worth the price. Thank you.

Excellent Japanese. Somewhat expensive but the quality of the food makes it worthwhile and very enjoyable.
Fantastic food. My kids love the chicken teriyaki here. No vegetarian option on the menu though for my wife. Please Gochiso, can you put at least one tofu main or vegetarian meal back on the menu!
Busy local japanese restaurant. Hard to get in without reservation. Not many Japanese restaurant like Gochiso in the local area. Most are sushi train style places or serves Ramen 🍜
