A great hidden gem. Very good food but the true star attraction is the staff, they are very friendly and efficient. Family friendly and very central, I would recommend Goto to anyone.
Amazing food and beautifully presented. Very welcoming ans friendly staff. Food was delicious. Better then other sushi I have had at other places. I really recommend the platters, squid starter and the salmon and avocado hand roll. I will be definitely going back here.
It’d be better to make a reservation as they are usually quite full. I was lucky to get a seat without making reservation but the dining time was limited as they need to prepare for the customers with reservations. The broth and ramen taste so good and really love it! The tempura is great as the coating is light, would like to try their sushi next time!
Amazing restaurant. Incredible service and a great atmosphere! We truly recommend you to come here in Exeter. We ordered sushi and sashimi rice bowl and we would definitely come here again.
It was the first time I really tried japanese food. I have to say, I love it. Particularly like this little place in exeter. It felt authentic. For a small little place, it was busy.
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.
Very tasty and fresh, but portions are very small.
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.
We visited this great sushi place in Plymouth a few years ago, and always spoke about going back but never got round to it.. then we found out they’re now in Exeter! Had a lovely meal, everything was fresh, both sushi and the hot dishes. The soft shell crab was so delicious and crispy. The sushi was served at the right temperature (not too cold), rice was great with not too much in the rolls, even the avocado was sliced evenly and perfectly ripe. Can’t wait for the next special occasion for an excuse to come back! Only thing I would say is that the lighting is SUPER bright, it’s nice to see the food but maybe a lower watt bulb next time they need changing? 😆
We had a lovely meal at Goto tonight. Miso aubergine starter, mackerel sashimi and spicy California rolls were the highlights but everything was delicious and service friendly and attentive. Best sushi we've had in the UK by far. I would definitely recommend a visit.
