We had a wonderful dinner. The stuffed chicken dish was amazing! And the chopped wedge salad had a nice twist to a classic salad with the addition of fried shallots. Would definitely return their again!

I go to Goshi SLO several times a month and I have always found the presentation and quality of sushi and sashimi to be superior, the best to be found locally. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable. The “noise level” is not a concern, as most customers are sober and serious and the ambiance reflects everyone’s attention and respect.
