Gohanya is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai, offering an unforgettable sushi experience at an almost surreal price point. If Haruki Murakami were to set one of his surreal novels in this city, a talking cat would undoubtedly guide the protagonist to this hidden treasure.
The sushi is exquisitely fresh, with vibrant sashimi slices that practically melt in your mouth. The 155-baht sushi set is a revelationâan assortment of expertly crafted maki, nigiri, and sashimi, presented with an artistry that belies the modest price. Every bite carries the perfect balance of flavors and textures, from the delicate sweetness of the sushi rice to the umami of the fish. The plate's thoughtful presentation enhances the entire experience.
Beyond the sushi, the ambiance is serene and inviting, making it the perfect spot to escape the bustling streets of Chiang Mai. The value is unbeatable, the quality outstanding, and the entire experience feels like stumbling into a secret only the locals and the most fortunate travelers know.
Gohanya is not just a mealâitâs a culinary adventure. Whether you're a Murakami protagonist or a sushi lover on a budget, this is where...

They've gone all out with the authentic feeling - you can plonk yourself down on the floor for a bit of traditional dining, just like in Japan. But no dramas if that's not your cup of tea, they've got chairs on hand too.
The waiters were friendly as can be, and the service was speedy - no mucking around waiting for your order here.
All in all, it's a top-notch Japanese joint that won't let you down. Throwing a well-deserved five stars their...
