Gold Taste

I came here on a whim, was hungry before dinner and just wanted to grab a roll. The restaurant was clean and their service was prompt and friendly. I got a basic roll with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumber and cream cheese and they had no problem making a custom roll for me. I had it to go and it was fresh and delicious. I will go back for the full experience soon.

This is a small quaint place in Monticello Marketplace. It gets busy and there's not a lot of sitting room but most people get carry-out. With that being said, it took a very long time for everything. I don't know if that's normal. They have fun small Japanese Ramune sodas which kids enjoy but it's less than 7oz so have them drink it slowly. There are a decent amount of food options to choose from. We ordered fried calamari because we were hungry and wanted something quickly but it took about 25 minutes to get it and that was long for the small amount we received. We also ordered fried rice to help us fill up a bit quicker because we were very hungry and that came out alone about 20 minutes after the calamari. The fried rice was okay but seemed wetter and was bland. We waited about another 15 minutes for the Green River Row to come out. It was decent. Later, the Sakura Garden came out and that was quite tasty! I ordered the Rainbow Dragon and that came out last about 10 minutes after the Green River Row. I wasn't a big fan of how one order came out at a time and then waiting and waiting for more food. Several small groups of people left while others waited it out. There's no salad or soup that comes with your order so that's disappointing. I am used to places that offer those as part of an order. For what you're paying, it feels like a reasonable expectation. Overall, it's a very pleasant eating experience but don't come here if you're already hungry. The service is way too lax than most places I'm used to. I wouldn't come back because of the long wait and the way one item was brought out at a time. I noticed a couple that seemed to be regulars so I have to assume there are usually better days but I'm a little doubtful. I was surprised with the lack of service and the ridiculous wait. I hope the place hires more people.

Food was excellent , and our server was very friendly and helpful. BUT price wound up being a bit steep. We ordered:Maguro Ninja - Tuna, Black Pepper, Avocado, Asparagus inside, wrapped with Tuna Slices, Red Chili Sauce & Cilantro 17Alaska Maki - we had Salmon with Avocado - 10Masago(Capelin Roe) nigiri - 7Sea Urchin(Uni) nigiri - mktGreen Tea - 4Our bill came to $61.05. So, near as I can determine. 2 pieces of uni were @ $18. I like Uni, and I get market prices, but that was a bit of a shock. Other than that, another excellent meal.

Must be expensive uni because we didn't ask the price as my hubby was so happy to see the sign outside notifying customers that they had it. So he ordered it and I got two pieces of masago. The masago cost about $7 and I added on an Alaskan maki Salmon roll for 10. Also had hot green tea on this cold blustery lunchtime, which was matcha for $4. All perfectly delicious again. Hubby had Maguro Ninja: tuna wrapped around avocado and it had scallions with cilantro on top. We traded half way through our meals. The total bill was a shocking $76. Obviously those two uni pieces were not worth the cost. We love the convenience of this location, how clean it is, and how friendly the owner(?) is who has served us this time again so likely will be back, but we have learned to ask for the price first. Expensive lesson learned; we don't get an itemized bill, just a total tab to settle by the way.

Never thought we'd stop for sushi while on vacation in Williamsburg, but I'm so glad we did! The tuna was incredibly fresh--it almost felt like I was back in Japan enjoying sushi.The staff were warm and welcoming, and the calming music added to the relaxing atmosphere. Surprisingly, the vegetable sushi roll was a huge hit with the kids--it's not often they get that excited about sushi!If you're in Williamsburg and craving sushi, this spot is a must-visit.

We had an early dinner at Gold Taste and left full for the rest of the night. The seating and ambiance is not much to brag about, but that's not what I came for. The beverages are all in bottles, which I appreciate as more sanitary. We ordered two rolls and Tuna Tataki. There's a lot of different options to pick from regarding rolls and nigiri and sashimi. The rolls are a little over priced but given the quality of the sushi, I wasn't upset about it. There's also more options that are reasonably priced for two people to share. Our server was very kind but not over bearing. We look forward to coming here more often and trying more options on the menu. Overall not bad.

I stopped in here to grab dinner with a friend. The inside isn't much to look but the service is great! Our server was so kind and doted on us throughout the duration of our meal. The menu was overwhelming. There were lots of pages with lots of choices. I couldn't keep up and ended up getting a basic California roll and spicy tuna roll. Both were good. If you are a coffee with your dinner kind of person than this place is for you. They have delicious coffee.

A very nice restaurant with kind & respectful staff! Seemed very traditional. Not the regular bento box I'm used to. They had cut apples, 2 pieces of shrimp tempura, seaweed salad, and 10 piece spicy tuna. Every thing on my plate was a 10/10. The tuna was the better than what's offered in my area! Their seaweed salad and tempura was seasoned!! Hear me out a lot of other places do not season their tempura so this was great for me! I was disappointed in their egg drop soup! It wasn't the best! The inside is pretty normal & everything is very clean!! They have a very full menu.. A little overwhelming..I mean from top to bottom filled!! It was a lot to take in, but I'll definitely be back to try more!

Excellent! Great Sushi Rolls! Great presentation! So very Good! My kids love Sushi we can one day and was closed. Came back the next Day and open. They took our big group immediately. As good as this place it was not busy.

My favorite place to eat. Given a choice of where to eat. I always chose Gold Taste.The sushi rolls are a work of art. The atmosphere is very cozy and friendly
