Popped in for lunch today and it was excellent! Nice and quite as I got there just as they opened. I had the chicken Karaage, Tonkotsu Ramen and some plum wine and it was all delicious!
A truly authentic Japanese meal. Me and my two sons had ramen today and the flavours were divine. Portions size is great, it's filling and good quality. The kids now prefer here to Wagamammas, and they're hard-core fans. My son has tried the sushi before and loved it, he's a real critique for sushi as well. The staff are lovely as well.
One of the best places to eat in exeter. The staff are delightful, polite and kind. The restaurant itself is always a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, very well-decorated. The food itself is fantastic too, i usually get the seafood ramen and its never failed to satisfy. Worth going to AT LEAST once if you're ever in the area.
Absolutely amazing experience! Small restaurant with lovely atmosphere. Food was to die for! I didn’t get the chance to take photos of our starters… They disappeared so fast! We had chicken Kara and chicken dumplings to start, together with Nakata Japanese Plum Wine and Pinot Grigio for my partner. For our mains we’ve chosen chicken curry ramen and a lot of sushi! We had Salmon Mango Sushi Roll, Spicy Tuna, Black Tiger Tempura Prawn, California Roll and Salmon Avocado Roll! We’ve tried Takara Plum Wine as well! Everything was extremely fresh and simply delicious! Our favourite was Salmon Mango Sushi roll and Nakata Plum wine. There are sooooo many options to choose from! We can not wait for our next visit! Service was spot on! Very friendly and polite staff! Will be returning and recommending to everyone! Thank you so much Goto!
I highly recommend everyone to try this Japanese restaurant if you’re in the area. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service is warm and friendly, making you feel as if you’ve been transported to Japan. We had dinner here for two consecutive nights, and every dish was absolutely delightful. Our whole family loved it and thoroughly enjoyed dining here. The restaurant is very popular, so be sure to make a reservation in advance.
Buzzing atmosphere, incredible food, but everything served all at once, so sushi we wanted to take our time over, savour and enjoy ariived at the same time as Warm terrakyi chicken and katsu curry. So we rushed to eat sushi then katsu curry cold by the time we ate.
Absolutely delicious!! I had a lovely vegan lunch and my friend a non vegan one. Pictured is the vegetarian ramen which is also vegan (really nice, creamy but still soy sauce flavoured), the vegetable tempura sushi roll and fried vegetable dumplings. I also had a Japanese genmai tea - green tea with toasted rice - so good! Very police and attentive staff - really impressed. Thanks again!
My first sushi at a Japanese restaurant. I wish I could give this restaurant more stars. Do not be put off by its location or the small building. Book to avoid disappointment as the restaurant was packed by 8pm. The food was beyond delicious. Fresh and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and helpful. My only complaint was the kitchen closed at 9pm and I could have carried on eating... so book and get there early!!!
Goto is a great little Japanese restaurant, I think probably the best in Exeter although there's 1 more I still have to try. I went here for a nice lunch and had 3 courses of fried tofu, chicken dumplings and salmon sushi, finally a seafood noodle soup. This was served with Japanese green tea. I was really impressed with the restaurant, the service was quick and very friendly and helpful. The decor features interesting Japanese style art and murals on the wall. The food was all delicious, particularly I have to give the thumbs up to the sushi, easily the best sushi I've had in Exeter, and the seafood broth was delicious. On the entrance door there is an impressive list of accolades and awards the restaurant has won. The restaurant, staff and food comes across as a 5 star authentic Japanese experience, and if you're a fan of Asian cuisine then I fully recommend wandering down Fore Street to give this one a try.
