Review Summary

Gokudo is described as a cozy cocktail bar with a great vibe and beautifully crafted drinks, making it a popular spot for date nights; the service is generally friendly and efficient with quick food delivery, though a few guests experienced occasional gaps in attention or lines during peak times; the menu features creative cocktails and a solid selection of sake and Japanese whiskey, with some items praised for originality and others criticized for limited food options or being pricey; overall the experience is considered worth revisiting, with the atmosphere and quality of drinks often standing out despite evolving staff or management and a cashless policy that can complicate payments.

Une pépite traditionnelle japonaise comme on les aime. L'enseigne n'est pas visible de l'extérieur, pour une ambiance cache.
Endroit très sombre, la lumière est faible c'est ce qui fait tout son charme.
Peu de choix de cocktails mais ils changent tous de l'ordinaire & surtout ils sont très bons.
Parfait pour les amateurs de saké, whisky & alcool fort.
Ils servent aussi quelques amuse bouche en supplément.
Le service est impeccable, les cocktails sont bons. Allez découvrir cet endroit !

I came alone. I ordered a scallop appetizer. They were good… So that encouraged me to get a maguro (tuna) dish with rice. The tuna wasn't tender or fresh enough. It was a bit fibrous & dry. That disappointed me. They have a nice selection of sake & Japanese whiskey. The waitress was kind. However, they don't accept cash, & no one mentions it in advance. I don't know what they expect 🙄😬. Payment was complicated. A real shame. I won't be going back

Small cocktail & saké bar. Has a speakeasy vibe. Very cute. The cocktail we tried were very great & all original, with multiple layer of flavor's. Haven't tried the food.

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.

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.

The décor is beyond gorgeous, no denying that. The food was good, although the ingredients were fresh & high quality, it felt like it was prepared without love: sushi rolls were falling apart among other things. But the real reason why I take 2 stars off this place is the sake menu. I came to Gokudo with the intention of spending a decent amount on a nice bottle, but when you advertise SAQ sake at 4x the price, how can I trust that the 120$ is worth the price? When I saw the Haiku, which is 16$ at SAQ, priced at 55$ on your menu, I just lost faith. If a restaurant is comfortable being that dishonest, I can't trust any prices or recommendations.
