We enjoyed dinner. Food was good and service was fine. Prices are a bit high. Had a nice Caesar Salad. Some fun desserts. I enjoyed an excellent lemon sorbet. Noisy when we first came in but as dinners departed it was easier to converse.

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.
