My go-to AYCE sushi place! Is it the best? Well, that's subjective. If you're looking for a solid AYCE for the quality and price, this is it. Disclaimer: Keep in mind that all-you-can-eat quality sushi cannot compare to the super fresh level of excellence of SOME, real, authentic sushi places. I wouldn't compare this Kabuto or other ala carte, higher-quality joints. This is strictly based in comparison to other AYCE places.
AMBIANCE: Decor is clean, intimate, but without the creepy silent vibes or weird football jerseys on the wall. Low mood lighting, laid-back, and doesn't feel too casual. You don't need to be too dressy either.
SEATING: Try getting a seat at the bar! Intimidated on how to order? Make eye contact with the sushi chef facing you even he looks busy, then say what you'd like!
Service is definitely hit-or-miss once in a while. This place is popular on the weekends especially during dinnertime. Last time I was here, it was still quite busy on a weekday dinner rush hour. Always expect a wait! A party of 5+ can be very difficult to seat! I believe they don't take reservations over the phone, but I heard this changed according to some other diners. If you're just dining with one other person, it's a lot quicker, especially if you say you don't care if you're seated at a table or the bar.
FOOD: I've been here countless times (enough to fill 5 of their stamps cards and a few paycheck's worth!), and the fish has always tasted fresh, crisp. Fish portion is generous. They don't try to load you up on rice unless you're ordering mostly rolls. Love the questionable super white tuna. The ubiquitous, americanized rolls are usually on-point, large, and presented beautifully. My fave is the moon roll!
Try ordering half-orders in case you end up disliking a particular roll. This way, you can sample many types of rolls. Too often do I see the people next to me saying they are not eating their rolls because they had too much of it or didn't prefer it. They end up not knowing you can order half! Ex: say "half dragon" or "half" whatever.
It varies on who your chef is when it comes to execution. A few times, my roll or nigiri has come out looking like a beauty school drop-out :C sometimes, consistency is an issue when it comes to presentation.
VERDICT: Although Goyemon is hyped up, it's really because they try to bring better quality fish to the masses of the AYCE crowd. Service can suffer when it's packed. Last time I was here, our server totally forgot about us sitting in the corner of the bar! When he saw my drink was completely empty, he tried to make it up to us by diligently coming back and checking on us since then.
Fun for a date-night spot or a small get-together. A solid experience and hands-down one of my favorite AYCE sushi spots.
