| - As a big fan of Habanera, Biiru & co, all owned by the same group of excellent restauranteurs, I was excited to try out Gokudo. I was a bit confused, at first, as the indicated address (630 Cathcart) is the address of a neighbouring store, and there are no indications of Gokudo outside except for the Japanese lamp.
I only tried the cocktails this time. I didn't have a chance to sample out the food, but I'm sure it is excellent -- as it is in all their restaurants. The cocktails were fabulous! I tried the Goto (McClelland Islay Single Malt scotch, Amaro Averna, Oolong Tea Syrup and Lemon-Marrakech bitters), and the Gempei (Scorpion Reposado Mezcal, Midori, Shiso, Agave syrup and lime). Both were excellent, well-balanced in flavours, complex...
Staff was friendly and efficient.
Absolutely worth the detour for delicious original cocktails, and I'm certain, really good food too.
I will be back!
