    I've enjoyed many meals and experiences at Gorysan since they opened, and I would still rate it highly to anyone. Very authentic Japanese, never disappointing.

    Our first visit since the freedom day. Compared to all previous visits the grilled skewers are still good but a few of my favorite items are now missing on the menu e.g. Sukiyaki wrapped in Wagyu Beef. Pricing increased but portion is getting smaller - Hakata “TAKI-AWASE” used to be $30 it’s now $49 but portion is less. Also service is not as attentive as before. A bit disappointing.

    My wife and I enjoyed everything about the evening including the ease of booking, the service the food and ambience. Our only comment was not about the restaurant but the patrons who seemed more interested in their phone than the food or the person they were with. Great place for casual relaxed dining and excellent staff.

    Food was good and tasty, however service was terrible. Impossible to get staff attention to order, drinks take a very very long time and you have to follow up. Matching saké flights would arrive after you’ve finished the food they were meant to be paired with. Has potential to be great.

    The table and the atmosphere not good. Like a street food shop not worth to come again. The food just a little and the flavor just at the average level. The children inside too much noise and the table is too big for 3 people. The server always forgot our food and drink. We booked but can’t sit the place where we want, but the people who walked in can sit the place we want! That’s really ridiculous! Expensive but not worst at all. Never come again!

    Average. Won’t recommend to friends. Maybe because of during COVID time only set menu available. The dishes are not surprise me. Regarding to the service, it was good in general but I will appreciate if they could wipe the table before served the dessert, it was a kind of messy

    Having lived in Japan before, our expectations for Japanese food in Australia (or most places outside Japan) are rarely met but Goryon San checked all the boxes and reminded us so much of our time there. Service was excellent, food was impeccable and I really enjoyed the sake flight. We brought our 1yo and the staff were great with him. Would 100% recommend to anyone and would love to go back again! Thank you, Goryon San!

    Quality in the food has notably gone down since last year. The food is now mediocre - timing of the grilling of the food and seasoning is not on point - so you no longer get that wow factor which what Goryon San was famous for. Portions have also reduced and it felt like the staff were rushing us. Probably a sign of recouperation of susatained COVID losses or commercialization reducing the overall experience of the restaurant.

    1. I had booked a set menu for five skewers but only severed by four ; We got the fifth one after kindly reminder. 2. Once the service staff severed our soup rice they cleaned the table and took my unfinished lobster tail and wagyu beef. I told him I still want that but unfortunately the plate was cleaned. I got one more pork belly to compensate which makes me feel a bit better. 3. The service staff over-charged me a wrong amount on my credit card and he had to have his colleague to assist refunding it back to my account. I had to wait almost 10 minutes until everything to be sorted out. I’m not quite understanding if any particular reasons for such things happened in a night…

    Great food and service. We had the $89 set menu on a Saturday night and while there were many dishes they were timed well. was so stuffed by the end of the night but each dish was delicious. There were only 3 waitstaff for the whole floor but they handled the dinner room expertly and we never had to wait long for the next course and never had to chase the food. Would 100% recommend trying if you like Japanese food.
