Goen Japanese Restaurant

Friendly service, great recommendations given by the manager who served us wonderfully. Super fresh and tasty salmon - tried the Atlantic roll and would recommend it to salmon lovers. The tempura was fried wonderfully and is full of flavor! Value for money for great quality food! Would recommend to Japanese food lovers!

I used to get lunch from here because I was working locally. This review has nothing to do with the food, which is okay. I had a dinner appointment with friends and when I got there, I asked if there was a big group of people that came in just recently. The waitress didn't look like she understood my question, so I said I would call my friend and ask if they were already there or not. She then called for a friend and I didn't know what she told the other one, but the question she asked was "are you alright?" while looking at me like I was crazy. Yeah, I don't appreciate that. I then found out they made a booking, otherwise I would have left and suggested another place.

Awful meal at Goen last night. Staff said sushi wasn't available so we ordered Don instead and informed them we had movie tickets.. The three tables who came in after us got sushi, even though we ordered first and it "wasn't available"! My meal didn't even arrive, and the Don that did arrive was microwaved and inedible. The prawn don was so microwaved that it just disintegrated. AND they had the nerve to make us pay for this awful, awful meal. The only reason I didn't make more of a fuss is because we had to rush away for our movie.
