Gohyang Sushi

It’s a good place to come… if you are Korean.
I’m of Asian descent, but not Korean, and the service staff could sniff that a mile away. Took 10 minutes before we decided to just go up to the cashier desk to put in our order — AND ask for some water/​tea.
The food we ordered came within 15 minutes (acceptable amount of time) and it was neither exceptional, nor bad… so without the crappy/​lack of service, I would have given a 3 star for the food.
Never did any of the servers ask to refill our tea/​water. The only reason I bring up the «Korean» aspect is that the table that sat next to us obviously spoke Korean and they were waited upon hand and foot. Water/​tea brought the table instantly — plates/​utensils — appeared in thin air etc.
If that’s the mentality of their servers — it’s just bad and unintelligent business as we’ll never go back again. Also — if you happen to have an infant and your group brings in a car seat — most of the bench tables will not fit the car seat as the seating is very narrow.
This is my second time there. The first time we got take-​out, so never noticed the poor service — except that they mentioned that our order would be 20 minutes (over the phone) and when I arrived 35 minutes later to pick it up… it wasn’t even ready. Had to wait another 10 minutes.
Fail.

Before trying Gohyang I was never a fan of sushi. This place converted me! We order almost every Friday at office for lunch. Quick, fresh and consistent!

This is my favorite sushi place in the west end. I usually get take out or delivery but have dined in a few times over the years.
The atmosphere of restaurant itself is very plain. Nothing special about the décor. The booths are not that comfortable. However the food totally makes up for it. Really good value compared to other sushi/​Korean restaurants in the west end. They are generous with their portions and use fresh ingredients. Everything I’ve tried here tastes really good and the quality and quantity are good as well.
The service has always been what you would expect from a place like this. I would give five stars if the décor was nicer.

Good value and good food, can’t really go wrong! My Korean buddy took my here for a late dinner, and I enjoyed it. Sushi is very fresh and tastes great (we got the salmon sushi) which I found surprising (first time experiencing Japanese/​Korean cuisine in same restaurant). The sides are okay — onion, kimchi, and pickled beets.
We also grabbed the seafood noodles in beef black bean sauce for 2; great value @ $ 7.50 each, you will be full! Only downside was the lack of service button + spoon at table, but regardless a great time.

Good delivered sushi is hard to find because it takes extra effort to sustain the intended delivery temperature of each item. After our delivery tonight, I am thoroughly impressed with the chef’s ability to do just that. Hot items were ventilated and cold items were packed separately in foil lined cartons. The tempura was still crispy and the sushi was not hot. This attention to proper packaging really helped the integrity of the dinner and led to a very enjoyable meal. To me, the proper (or improper) temperature of a Japanese meal is most certainly a deal maker/​breaker. Kudos. This was a great Japanese meal.
