Gohan Sushi in Southington is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine passion for sushi that truly elevated our dining experience. The owners were incredibly personable, taking the time to guide us through their menu and offering helpful tips on how best to savor the delicate flavors of their creations. Their expertise and enthusiasm were contagious! The food itself was nothing short of extraordinary. It's clear that the chef possesses a deep understanding of flavor profiles and a true artistry when it comes to crafting sushi. What sets Gohan apart is their dedication to making everything from scratch, including their own sauces and even soy sauce! This commitment to quality shines through in every bite. The complexity of the flavors was remarkable, each ingredient playing its part in a symphony of taste. We opted for the Sushi and Sashimi Deluxe, and it was a revelation. The fish was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor and melting in our mouths. The rice was delicate, perfectly cooked and seasoned, providing the ideal foundation for the pristine seafood. We also ventured into some of their signature rolls, and were blown away. The Xmas roll was a delightful surprise – light, delicate, and refreshingly fresh. But the star of the show was the Golden Frieza roll. The citrus mango sauce was a masterpiece, boasting a deep, rich, and fruity mango flavor that truly shone. It was a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. Every aspect of our experience at Gohan Sushi was exceptional. The combination of incredibly fresh, flavorful food, the chef's obvious talent and dedication, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the owners makes this restaurant a must-try. Without a doubt, this is a five-star experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend Gohan Sushi without reservation. I will...

This place is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Need I say more? I guess I do.
The owners are great! Any questions we had were answered, we got great recommendations based on our likes and needs (were quickly told which rolls were spicy, gluten free, and which others were not GF but could be made GF, and which always contain gluten). Everything was super fresh and the presentation was incredible.
The space is small so there aren't a lot of tables, but hopefully you'll be lucky enough to snag one. We got there early (maybe 5-5:30 on a weeknight) and were the only table, but during our meal the restaurant filled up and it was great to see the regulars that knew exactly what they wanted and the new folks that heard about this spot and needed time checking out the menu and talking to the owner to decide which items to order.
We tried: Rainbow Roll Spring Breeze Roll Peanut Avocado Roll Tiger Roll Paradise Cake Flame Touch (must try! Steak on top; think surf and turf!)
It's BYOB and there are nearby liquor stores if you didn't know and need to run and grab a bottle of wine.
Everything we had was super fresh, from the fish to the lemon on top of one of our rolls (recommend that too, Tiger Roll).

I've seen the accolades...
Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2025. I've seen it all over IG. I had to try it of course.
It's located in a plaza and it's a small, cozy spot; there were about 7 tables. I don't think they accept reservations. We went on Saturday for dinner, there were a group of about 15 to 20 and then my family. I was glad we were able to get a table for 4! The service was great! Food came out fast too.
My kids had the chicken katsu with fries which they enjoyed. My husband had the sashimi platter and Philly roll, which he said was fresh and tasty. I ordered 3 sushi rolls:
Dragon Roll- it had crispy tempura shrimp, avocado wrapped in sushi rice and nori seaweed; it was topped with eel sauce and sesame seeds.
Shrimp Tempura Roll- which had Tempura Shrimp, Avocado, Cucumber, Tobiko, and Homemade Eel Sauce
Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll- fresh minced tuna, seaweed, rice, and I believe popped rice to make it crunchy
Honestly, all delicious. I couldn't find a negative. The sushi were fresh and innovative. The menu had so many delicious options that I wanted to try all of it in one sitting, if I was a rich sumo wrestler lol. Yes, it's worth the hype and I'll...
