Gou Sushi - Surry Hills

Stopped by Gou in passing for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! Quick and friendly service from staff. Ordered the agadeshi tofu which was delicious and silky, the aburi salmon roll which was super tasty and a very generous serving and karaage chicken which was so juicy and even had seasoning on the side of mayo which only elevated the flavours... was so excited to eat it all I didn’t manage to take images of each dish but definitely will be back

I’ve always loved Japanese cuisine. When I arrived at Gou I asked the waitress what she’d recommend and I have to say I was completely content with her selections! We started with the Agedashi Tofu which was silky and soft, a chefs choice of six different combinations of sushi to try and a traditional daifuku for dessert. I adored the daifuku! Japanese desserts aren’t as sweet but the red bean paste has a beautiful flavour and with the strawberry absolutely gorgeous.A chefs tasting plate was definitely the way to go, if your indecisive or even just curious and want to try new combinations this is perfect for you! There are things I never would’ve considered and ended up actually loving like eel! Conveniently located near central station, and with such polite staff I will definitely be visiting Gou when I’m in the central area.

Japanese food is all about quality, there is a strong sense of preciseness and deliberateness to all aspects of it. Gou Sushi is the perfect example of that, it is beyond just an average Sushi Train restaurant, everything is heightened to a further level. From the selection of the freshest ingredients, the precision in the chef’s preparation (which you can watch while you eat) and the careful combination of flavours. We were greeted by the lovely

Even if I had hands I couldn’t count the number of times I’d opted for dinner at this unassuming best kept secret of Surry Hills. You could say it’s my ‘Gou To’ Sushi pick (I’m SO sorry). The interior features a large sushi train that surrounds the Jedi Master, as he churns out some of the freshest and most innovative sushi this side of Osaka.

Thursday lunch time was quiet so the sushi train didn't have the full menu on rotation but the quality was very good which was made better with a lunch time deal of $3.20 per plate. Snapper and Tuna
