Review Summary

Gokudo is described as a cozy, hidden bar with an intimate vibe, low lighting and music that lets guests talk easily while enjoying craft cocktails. Reviews highlight creative, well balanced cocktails, a solid selection of sake and Japanese whiskey, and friendly, attentive service that makes a welcoming impression. Atmosphere is repeatedly praised as suitable for date nights and relaxed evenings, with a stylish yet unobtrusive decor and a discreet entrance adding to the charm. However, some notes point to inconsistent service, with staff who are very helpful and others less engaged, and peak times that can bring lines and slower pacing. Food receives mixed feedback, with certain bites praised while others are described as not as fresh or generously portioned for the price. Payment can be cashless only, a surprise to some guests that was not always mentioned in advance. Overall the venue remains a standout for cocktails and ambiance, drawing strong praise across many reviews despite the occasional tradeoffs.

I really enjoyed the experience I had at this bar. The service was polite & friendly, the interior decoration was remarkable & quite lovely, the drinks were fantastic & not too expensive. At least for the prices they charge, it was decent. My favourite thing about this bar is probably the fact that we had plenty of space at our table & around our table. It felt really spacious for once & we could really enjoy our drinks & talking to each other. The noise level was also just right, the music playing wasn't too loud or too quiet. The main downside however is probably that there is a longer wait time compared to a lot of other places. This comes back to the generous amount of space they give to each customer so there are less seats in consequence. But, I do feel like the wait time was worth it because I had an amazing time inside the bar.

Came with my bf to celebrate our anniversary! They sat us at the booth but we were extremely close to other people, so they moved us to the bar where we met Jordan. He's from Paris & there was a language barrier bc his English wasn't so good & our French was ..well Gr 9 French lol! Regardless he was so kind & made us really good cocktails, gave us free shots & made our night! He curated cocktails for us based on what we liked, so if you're up for the experience - definitely let him be creative :) we didn't get food bc we came from dinner so I can't really comment on that part!

I had a great time at this Japanese restaurant & bar. The ambiance & the vibe were really nice & relaxing. The music was not too loud & suited the mood. The food was delicious & authentic. I especially enjoyed the Sake & the Maki. The service was awesome & attentive. The staff were friendly & helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine & drinks.

Super cool cocktail bar! It has a japanese vibe with some japanese inspired snacks that we didn't try. We just had cocktails. But they were amazing!!! Sooo tasty, prepared with care, slightly surprising, good quantity, not stingy on the alcohol. 5 star service from the barman as well!
