Very nice spot for dates & more of a chill vibes. Jordan at the bar was amazing, knew his drinks & alcohol. He was able to make us discover new alcohol & remixed a drink according to our taste buds. Would recommend to sit at the bar & be served by him.

Très belle ambiance, c'est assez sombre & peux bruillant. Belle place pour parler autour d'un verre 🥂 amène ta date là, elle ne sera pas déçu 😉

This is a dark & sultry Japanese bar. It's perfect for a date or tryst. The cocktail menu is interesting & there's a good selection of sakes & sojus. A bar menu has a few mediocre bites. Service is cute but forgetful. Most people will love Gokudo because it seems like a hidden discovery.

Food was okay. Not really up to par with the price point. Place was nicely decorated but felt a little stiff. Cute spot for maybe a drink or two on a date night. Would not consider it for larger groups or longer stays.
Staff was exceptionally friendly & courteous. They provided a great experience.
