Lunch with the Family at Gokoku Sushi

I was really impressed with the food when I attend a preview dinner at Gokoku Sushi, so I was eager to dine there again with my family.

I had the Curry Udon Set, which also included Chicken Karaage, Inari, Mini Salad and Fukujinzuke. All of that food (including dessert) for just $16.50! Every single dish in the set was delicious. I even shared food with my husband and kids and I still took home leftovers! The Chicken Karaage was some of the best I've had anywhere, and the Curry Udon was really delicious.

There is only one kids option available - a Bento Box for $9.50, and I was impressed with how much food there was! Included in the Bento Box was Udon, Chicken Karaage & Fries, Inari Sushi & Tamago.

Each of the meals came with specific desserts. The kids bento box came with ice cream; my husband's meal (the fish teishoku) came with an acai bowl; my meal came with yokan.

The one thing that I felt could have been improved upon was the amount of time it took for someone to acknowledge us once seated. We were seated immediately (I made reservations), but it took nearly ten minutes (that's quite a long time to be waiting!) for our server to come to our table. I was literally telling my husband we needed to ask someone if we'd be helped when our server finally came to our table.

Our friendly server did thank us for waiting, and throughout the meal the service did get better.

Despite the initial lapse in service, I really enjoyed dining at Gokoku Sushi. It's a great place to have lunch with family. The prices are reasonable (prices have dropped since they opened), the portions are generous, and the food is really delicious!
