Gonoe is an extremely solid sushi option that offers better than average sushi and some very unique items.
I didn't get to try the specialities but we went with the hoe deop bap, a medium sushi/maki platter, and a special roll which is a fair valuation of a sushi place.
Salad was really interesting with a citrus based vinagrette instead of the usual. It was an extremely nice touch to include four banchan dishes, especially cucumber kimchi (which was amazing!).
The hoe deop bap was an enormous portion with huge chunks of fish and a ton of veggies. Even with all the rice added, there wasn't enough rice (which is a first). The sauce was a good balance of vinegar to sweet. Overall, highly recommended!
I really liked the orangeville special roll too, minimal rice, with tons of toppings and fillings. The sushi and maki platter was fairly standard but I liked that their maki rolls and nigiri sushi again, had minimal rice. The fish was fairly fresh and I liked their spicy salmon rolls, which was creatively split by bread crumbs and actual salmon rather than being combined into one mixture.
The service was good, there was a service button to call the waitresses over when needed. There was complimentary green tea ice cream to finish. The décor and mood was nice and the booths were very intimate. Just a faultless experience for sushi.
