Un Izakaya caché & authentique, comme au Japon, avec d'excellents whiskys & des cocktails abordables. Le service au bar était impeccable. Le menu aurait pu être plus varié avec de meilleures portions.

Fun place! Drinks & food were good. The layout of the bar is a little odd, we were very close to the entrance & separate from the main area.

Quality is not what it used to be. Very expensive, the bar added items to my bills without us ordering it. The seats are broken down & the place had a bad smell. I used to love the place.

While the drinks & vibes of the restaurant & really cool. The service here was not good. Our servers were very slow & rude. We were a larger group & it felt like they didn't want us there.

we were super intrigued by the asian flair of the drink menu at gokudo & were excited to visit. we arrived around 7 pm on a friday & waited a short time for a seat. we were eventually seated in the front room, which was comfortable & relaxing. we tried the okame & yamakase (which may not be on the menu anymore). both drinks were yummy & had a great mix of flavors. the food menu also looked intriguing but since we had dinner just before, we didn't get a chance to try anything. prices are super reasonable compared to the bars in nyc. overall a fun place to visit!

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.
