Located in the Creamery Marketplace in downtown San Luis Obispo, the restaurant evokes the intimate, small, and bustling atmosphere of a Japanese eatery, all while delivering delicious food. I went for lunch, and all the lunch specials came with two sides and miso soup. The Chirashi bowl was probably the best I've ever had, packed with various kinds of fish—including roe, scallops, salmon, unagi, hamachi, white fish, and tuna—all over a bed of seasoned rice. The frosty cold mugs for beer were a nice touch too! It appears they've extended into the back to fit more tables right by the kitchen, which, to me, enhanced the local Japanese vibe even more. The restaurant gets very busy, so I recommend making a reservation. They do accept walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis. Great service from Jazleen and all the staff. Parking is limited, with a very small lot available, as well as paid street and lot parking nearby

The Sushi was fantastic, I'm impressed! The atmosphere was a little small town sushi joint, but the food was excellent. Took us awhile to find it, it's hidden in a food hall so parking is tricky. Our fav was the toro tuna. Worth a visit!

THE BEST SUSHI BY FAR! Fresh, delicious, clean, and one of a kind. The service could be better sometimes but I’m sure they can’t help it when they get so busy. If you want to be seated right away, I recommend going 30-40 min early and putting your name on the waitlist right outside of the restaurant. If not, you’ll have to wait a while but def worth it if you’re looking to eat the BEST SUSHI EVER!

while goshi tends to have a longer queue than most other SLO spots, it is 100% worth the wait. the fish was notably fresh, all the rolls had a very clean, carefully crafted taste and the salmon nigiri literally melts in your mouth. the rolls were wonderful because of their simplicity, three to four good quality ingredients that all complimented each other perfectly. though the sushi was the clear star of the show, i highly recommend the garlic edamame which was extremely flavorful and absolutely delicious.
