    I go to Goshi SLO several times a month and I have always found the presentation and quality of sushi and sashimi to be superior, the best to be found locally. The servers are attentive and knowledgeable. The “noise level” is not a concern, as most customers are sober and serious and the ambiance reflects everyone’s attention and respect.

    The Food was delicious. My wife and I are vegetarians, so the kitchen was able to remove the prosciutto from one of the pizza's and it was still amazing! The courtyard where the restaurant is located is very charming! We will definitely visit again.

    My son ordered the streak and for $40 we were very disappointed in the fact the server did not deduct the steak from our bill. Steak was super fatty, chewy, my son will eat anything but he spit out several pieces. I still tipped 20% because it’s not the server’s fault that it was a bad piece of steak.
