Gonpachi Shibuya

What an amazing experience! Our server Rina was top notch and so patient dealing with us as a large party. The food was exceptional and the ambience was energetic. The view was beautiful! Loved every sec of it and would highly recommend. We will definitely make another trip to at least have a drink there.

Excellent food in a beautiful restaurant located on the 14th floor with surrounding views to the city. Beautiful at night. Full of energy atmosphere with good music. Fast professional service. Definitley will come again!

Pocket version of its bigger brother in Nishi Azabu. But same vibes and good food. Atmosphere here makes you feel comfortable. Staff is always kind and with very good international language. They can all speak decent English so if you are a foreigner here you will feel comfortable. Soba here are handmade. Simply nice! Is a must. They are the king of food on stick!

Pretty pricey and mid quality sushi in my humble opinion. Definitely better quality sushi for lower prices! However the service here was excellent and our server was super polite

Great restaurant, amazing local food. We had an amazing server Shunsuke who recommended some delightful local sake. Highly recommended.

A truly amazing restaurant with a open and modern atmosphere. No Japanese background music but hip and enjoyable music. Most of the staff has an international background, that's visible and makes ordering easily. One of the guys still have to learn. I was quite anxious he would drop a glass when serving out the drinks. I loved that fact the face mask were gone, from both the staff and visitors. The menu is quite extensive and offers great quality. It comes with a price but I had a delicious dinner. The sushi and skewers were my absolute favourite. I forgot the exact price, but for around ¥2k you can drink unlimited for two hours. In the beginning of the evening (7pm) the service was really quick and the food was served within no time. Later it took up to 10-15 minutes and that could be improved. I had a great evening out in this fine restaurant with lovely atmosphere!

Amazing place! We stumbled upon it when we were hungry late at night, and it was such an amazing decision. The food was incredible and Mirei’s service was phenomenal, she made us feel very comfortable. Make sure to come to this place whether it’s a meal or a late night meal.

Very nice restaurant with great views. Customer service was awesome. Food very tasty and freshly made for each dish beautifully served. Rina our waitress was very nice and helpful. Very fluent in English as well. Could not have asked for a better dinner experience.

Great place. The vibe was party like, very loud and social. It was great for me because they offered vegan food, which is so rare to find! It was definitely delicious! Not pictured was the yuzu honey sour cocktail which was super refreshing! One of the other guests had a birthday and the place was wild for bday celebrations! It was a fun treat to see!

Gonpachi is the definition of a Western restaurant but have it be located in the heart of Shibuya. Located on the 8th floor, this atmospheric restaurant is dressed to impress, but how does the food fair? I added this spot to my itinerary as they have a dedicated vegan menu, with a cute nigiri set that looked nice. We ordered the nigiri, plus their vegetable tempura, and some veggie skewers. Be aware that there will obviously be cross-contamination at this restaurant. The best part of the meal were definitely the skewers. The grilled mushrooms and shishito peppers on their charcoal grills gave it a nice, smoky taste. The sushi and tempura however, were quite meh for the price. My nigiri was especially disappointing. I wasn't quite sure what else I should have expected, but it was literally avocado on rice, a shiitake mushroom on rice, chives on rice, etc. It was literally something I could have assembled at home for a fraction of the cost. Overall, food was nothing special to me. Service was friendly but a bit confusing. We had a western worker approach and serve us, and some of the Japanese servers were around and spoke to us in half-Japanese/English. I also found it weird that nobody working was wearing a mask. At the time, mask mandates inside were still enforced, so I found it REALLY odd that none of the staff wore them. Hence, why it reminded me of an American restaurant. It was truly a night of confusion at Gonpachi. For vegans, I'd say pass and head to true vegetarian or vegan restaurants.

This restaurant has one of the most amazing views. If you go during dinner it looks really spectacular. However the food comes out extremely slowly and out of order. One of our group members ordered a dinner set and the food came out so slowly that everyone was completely done before their appetizer even came out. Over the food was only average. The sobs noodles weren't particularly good. The tempura wasn't very crispy and was even slightly salty. The chicken karrage was good, but the second you put lemon juice on there it immediately turns soggy. The fish was also a little to fatty. Although the miso flavoring was extremely good. I did think that the drinks were pretty great. They have a wide variety of cocktails, wines, and beers. Keep in mind that they have a two hour limit for how long people can stay but a lot of the food did not come over until over an hour into the meal. Be sure to prepare for that and order fast.

For 3600 yen, you get an 8 sushi piece omakase which is on the pricey side but when you start digging into it, you'll understand why .. FOOD QUALITY: Whereas in Tsukiji Fish Market serves the cuts that aren't always from the best parts of a fish, you're pretty much given the better parts of the fish from the omakase along with scallop, shrimp, and uni. The majority of the sushi here melts in your mouth, and the rice, while soft and warm, had just the right amount of acidity to highlight the brightness of the fish. Texture-wise, it was better than most sushi that I've had in Tokyo (and definitely Los Angeles): the uni melted in your mouth but had a consistent creaminess without any hint of wateriness, the ice cold shrimp simply just melted instantly in your mouth while still having that shrimp resistance when you bite into it. SERVICE: Attentive, and professional; they'll refill your water or tea when you need it. ENVIRONMENT: It's an adequate sized area where it's pretty elegant, but definitely bigger than most regular restaurants in Tokyo. Overall, you're guaranteed to get quality sushi but you'll have to pay the price for it.

Great ambiance and great sushi. A local friend took me to this location the first time and I really enjoyed the semi quiet seating arrangement as it was easy to carry on a conversation and the spacing between tables was comfortable. Great view of Shibuya area along with a nicely appointed dining room. Most importantly, the food was excellent. Fresh, beautiful presentation, many choices. If you enjoy uni, the evening I visited they had a 3 part appetizer that was the best that I have ever had. Sashimi appetizer was excellent and nigiri combination was perfectly done. I made same day reservations and was seated immediately.

Love this place.......service and staff great! Tourist friendly! Came here on my first day in Tokyo, and finishing my last day here as well. Highly recommended

Good service, great sushi, excellent wine! Try the Tuna Quintet. The amazing view is an added bonus - make a reservation to get a table by the window.
