Bistro Goemon - Reservar uma mesa

One always gets a bit excited when all the staff are Japanese and even more so when a good percentage of the customers are as well. This is modern and fancy Izakaya fare with some adventurous edges. The Agedashi tofu is subtly infused with crab meat and the Teriyaki sauce has levels of anchovy excitement which lift it above the regular sweet/sticky delight. The menu is full of interesting options both cold and cooked. The atmosphere was very Japanese, with native punters yakking away with the sushi chef while sipping Suntory whiskey.The staff were friendly and attentive but obviously on student visas. There was a slightly hectic and mildly pannicked feel about the service which didn't match...

Yes the service is dippy but the food is divine. Modern Japanese fusion.They do the best sashimi and sushi in the street and they have some stiff competition.I love the way they mix flavours - the salmon and cheese is my favorite. I love the fact that you can try new things here. The sake menu is good.Its true that they have some challenged waiting staff and getting what you want may take some patience but the staff are good humoured and trying to be helpful. And they are attentive.I always have fun and always spend too much (I over order cause its good).I would go here every night.

Cosy welcoming space. Warm attentive efficient service. Delicious tastes to share. Unusual innovative choices such as a Japanese style mini pizza. The scallops are delicious and tender. Brown rice tea has a delightfully nutty fresh taste. Very reasonably priced.
