Godai

Such a cute little spot in San Antonio.The owner just re-opened this place several weeks ago, and brining brand new service and tasty food to San Antonio. If you are looking for great sushi spot, this is the place for you. The mood is great, service is excellent and you definitely don't want to miss the chef special. If you like to entertain, sit on the bar area, Steve is here to make sure your dinner experience is unforgettable.

First time here, but turns out we love it! They just reopened and we are glad that we tried it.We sat in Sushi Bar and the chef there was very attentive and gave us a lot of recommendations. Also, the server is always checking on us if we need something.We tried the Beef Galbi, which is our favorite Galbi in town now Give this place a chance, you won't regret

We stopped by Godai because we saw that this was ranked #3 sushi in San Antonio. I am not sure if it was an old list we saw because I don't think Godai was a hit. Our server, I believer her name was Hannah, with long auburn hair, was great and very attentive. However, that was the highlight of the meal.Miso and salad were complimentary with the meal. The salad had so much dressing and was dripping off the lettuce. The miso soup was ok, a little on the salty side.We started with the Special Hamachi Sashimi. The first thing I noticed was the black plate did not look very clean and had smudges all over. There was a very small amount of ponzu sauce for the dish. This is usually our favorite shared appetizer and we did not finish this plate.Next up were some nigiri pieces, salmon, tuna, and white tuna. The salmon nigiri is always my go to when trying a new sushi restaurant however, this was very lacking and I actually did not eat the second piece. The nigiri pieces were a generous portion for the price but they were more "dissolve in your mouth" not "melt in your mouth".The chirashi bowl was lackluster. I've never had a chriashi bowl where I kept finding pieces of ginger throughout the dish. The tuna was a bit grainy and felt chalky in my mouth. Most of the fish tasted very "fishy". The rice was not usually what I get in a chriashi bowl - it was kind of crunchy and piece-y, not the usual glistening with a hint of the rice vinegar. The seaweed salad included was pretty good though. The shaved white carrot atop the dishes were also not the usual translucent white.Later that night and through the next day I found myself running to the bathroom.Overall, I would not recommend Godai and would not return. They do have good prices for the portion and good service but that is it. There are other sushi restaurants in San Anontio with better quality.

The rolls are so tasty, the service is amazing. We miss Mr. Goro, but this place is in good hands. The California Crunch and the Orange Blossom were our favorites! So glad this place is reopened, we were desperate for great sushi again and couldn't stand the other sub-par sushi options.

Always a treat to stop by here for their fresh seafood, reasonable prices, and relaxed atmosphere. Their portions are generous and servers are friendly and casual. It's a quiet neighborhood location and has all the basic and traditional items with a dash of new style rolls.

Did not enjoy the order at all. While it could have been the particular items I ordered there are much better options in the area. The fried rice had a weird after taste to me and and the sushi rolls left something to be desired and were also hard to eat. They were large sized with less pieces, this made them harder to eat and with a lot more rice than I usually like. The rice to actual fish ratio seemed off to me.Likely will not order from here again.

Goro has leased the building to new folks and they are doing a bang up job. The Jesse's roll is incredible. Service is wonderful and they are open for lunch and dinner. All new menu but still incredible sushi. Support local!!

Best Sushi I've had in a long time! The service was great, staff very friendly! We loved it!!

Very clean restaurant. Owner/Chef came to meet us and explained he had re-opened a week or so ago. Food is well balanced with good flavors. Will suggest to order the tower and Godai roll. Gyosas were delicious too! Dessert was great. Tempura ice cream. Define rely oil on fryer was new so taste was delicious. Fresh food+good service= great place for a Friday night sushi.

Since we stepped into the restaurant we immediately received outstanding service from Krys. The food service was very fast and excellent! The Godai roll and Habanero Salmon are 10/10! Mr. Steve and Krys truly made the experience amazing. We will most definitely be coming back!! Great job!! Oh! And ofcourse! The ambiance was on point, very warm and comfy! Goodluck Mr. Steve!
