Gochi - Melbourne
Gochi
Description
The Japanese restaurant offers a variety of options from Bento boxes to sushi rolls. Some diners found the food disappointing, with tepid rice and gristly chicken skewers, while others raved about the tender and juicy pork belly barbecue. The atmosphere is busy, with tables close together, but the staff is friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable, though some mention feeling irked by a credit card surcharge. Overall, the restaurant provides a quick and light meal option, with good service and decent food, making it worth a repeat visit for many customers.
Feedback
Over priced sushi, not a huge selection to choose from. Tempura Prawn sushi - ok Teriyaki Chicken sushi - no teriyaki flavour Californian roll - not enough flavour Seaweed salad - great flavour Good customer service.
Travelling on business, wanted something quick and light for a late supper. Of all the Crown eateries along Southbank Gochi is probably the most understated. It offers a choice of takeaway or eat-in dining, and a limited but good drinks list. I started with a plate of assorted Nigiri (Salmon, Tuna, and a white fish sushi.) The wasabi was very hot, the soy as expected. I finished with two sate-sticks of chicken and beef - neither adventurous but nonethless well-cooked and a fine subtle glaze and vegetable garnish. No alternative dipping sauce was offered with the coojked meats. Sapporo and Kirin beer was on offer. Two nights later I tried a modestly-priced sake (cold) and tried the pork. Again good but not particualrly special. Service was quick, with a smile, the second visit greeted with recognition. Nice, given the hundreds through there each day. I was out in 35 minutes on both occasions and would add it to my Melbourne list, despite it's lack of great difference. Its pricing is good and service excellent, which brought the overall experience to a 4, rather than 3 for the food alone. And it was exactly what I was expecting it to be from its simple but quite broad menu There was nothing adverse, and in fast-food quick-turnover places that in itself is a major plus. I'll be back.
We had pre-concert dinner here.We were conscious of the time so we needed some decent food pretty quickly.This place just didn't disappoint.We had pork belly barbecue and it was tender,juicy and flavorsome.We loved it so much that we even ordered another portion after our main meals which are a variety of their Bento boxes.It was priced reasonably too.
This place appeared to be the one only sushi place in the crowne complex. Didn't dine in, but the takeaway sushi was very good.
Lunch with family and was not at all disappointed- we had a nigiri platter of 12 pieces and salmon nigiri - 6 pieces and some gyoza- the nigiri was super fresh and delicious - I thought the price was reasonable despite reading the "google reviews" . The service was good too. The selection of take-away looked very diverse and yummy too. Would definitely go back again.
