    Everything was great from the host to the server and then the good. We had the three apps that were perfect for the table (Fried mushrooms, pork ribs and Brussels). Main course was the Butterfish, fish and chips and a few sushi rolls for my daughters. Highly recommend and will visit again soon.

    The menu choices at first appeared limited, but after perusing further, it was so surprisingly delightful. Loved the way Chef created items using different ingredients to create a very flavorful dish. Starting with miso eggplant appetizer, the golden cali sushi, the beet salad, then Japanese mushroom spaghetti. We shared all the dishes, along with a glass of Pinot Gris, and finished with a dessert - Halohalo.. magnificent lunch for sure..we’ll be back..!!!

    Everything was ok, but not great. Food was average and service was a little inexperienced. Probably wouldn’t go back.

    Received excellent service from Kanani who clearly explained the menu and even told us the story of why the restaurant is called Goen. As per usual our dishes were excellent!

    Another good dining experience for birthday/Valentines dinner. Had the brussels & cauliflower appetizer and truffle gnocchi w/ shrimp and the marinara/alfredo "winter special" entrees - both very flavorful. Finished the meal with basque cheesecake. Our server Amalie (sp?) was spot on all evening!
