Goryon-san

Very neat Japanese restaurant serving delicious yakitori and bar food, while offering an extensive drinks menu! 😋 Must try’s include: x lettuce roll wrapped in pork with cheese - a satisfying bite from a very juicy roll that tastes like cheese & bacon balls x wagyu skewer - tender beef with bits of salty fat goodness. Wasabi definitely elevated the taste x matcha tiramisu - strong and creamy matcha dessert was soo good! x ramen hotpot - rich hot tonkotsu broth was really hearty after all the small dishes x yuzu mocktail !! Unfortunately, the scallop was cold upon arrival and the wagyu tartare didn’t pair well with other dishes :( The staff were friendly, energetic and attentive throughout the night, which elevated the experience. We were very lucky to walk-in as a group of 3 at 7pm on a Wednesday night but I will have to try booking for the omakase next time 😊 They also accept Dine & Discover vouchers (1 per person) at the time of this posting.

Chill night. A good place for chatting with friends. Taste is great, unfortunately not many options. Many alcohol choices, mainly are Japanese style, like plum wine, yuzu wine, Japanese beer ( draft beer, Ale, IPA). Staffs are friendly. Course menu, main course is ramen or rice with dumplings. Although this restaurant is not an old-school Japanese skewers restaurant, but it is creative, modern cuisine. Love this place, will come back again.

The skewers were pretty good, we got the chef's choice for the day (5 skewers) and they were all delicious. Also had the gyoza soup w ramen, which was rich but not oily, perfect for the cold weather. Service was great, they were very attentive and cater to food allergies. They are still accepting dine vouchers. The matcha cake was good but i wouldve wanted the matcha flavor to be more dominant.

The pork yakitori is the best dish at this place. Highly recommend. Every other dish is good too. However, we did mention needing to have the egg dish on the side due to intolerance for a dish. Another waiter took out this dish and poured egg into the dish. Communication between staff about dietary requirements could be improved. It would also be good if this place composted their food scraps/waste.

Visited Goryon san for mum’s chill night. The Japanese kushiyaki atmosphere, food and great range of Japanese liquors were amazing. Unfortunately, there were not many choices of menus due to a shortage of staff. We talked to one of the staff and knew that the staff takes a long time for the preparation. We could see the quality of food and great tase from their hard work. Especially I really enjoyed lettuce maki and scallop bacon. Highly recommend.

Shrinking bento is a phenomenon I first observed at Miso here in town, where as the quantity of food decreased the prices went the other way. So forking out 22 bucks for a pill box sized bento seems like the inevitable outcome of all that price gouging. Sure. I really wanted it to taste good. And while the pork had a nice smoke flavour the rice was covered in an unpleasant tasting brown smear. I am now placing all my hopes on the accompanying $10 bag of frozen curry to offer mild redemption...
