Customer Reviews
Hole in the wall that offers umami with every bite!
August 1, 2023
This little gem found located in a strip mall in the San Fernando Valley, is a sleeper of all restaurants. The ambiance is quite lacking with bare walls, 4 small tables and a sushi bar that seats roughly 8 people. There is a written board with the Japanese name of the daily fish that they have and that’s about it. For those that frequent the joint, they know it’s the sushi and they way the chef prepares each fish, is what keeps them coming back. The one sushi chef and 2 helpers know how to bring the most flavor out of the fish with different toppings like truffle oil and lemon zest, to name a couple. Each fish is uniquely prepared and always fresh! I took of 1 star because for me, it is quite pricey. 1 piece of sushi ranges from $3.50 for the simple tuna and salmon, but if you chose from the written board, expect to pay $8-$20 for 1 piece, not 1 order. With that said, this is a place where I come to treat myself, a couple times a year.
Sushi is priced per piece.

I haven’t been able to find another sushi restaurant to compare. This place is pricey but we’ll worth the experience. Sushi is priced per piece.
Looking down on all the other chefs

Stopped in for a solo lunch. Small strip mall location with a sushi bar and a few tables. The atmosphere is plain but the food is artistic, top quality and very fair cost for what comes to your plate. I can best describe it as “alive” with freshness and flavors that make you pause- wow. I never upload pics but this was a special visit. Will be back again and again.

I adore Go’s Mart. I’ve been here numerous times. Why not 5 stars? I think because the sushi chef feels the need to decorate his wonderful fish with truffle oil. I think I finally understood why this restaurant is FAB but not PERFECT. I have no complaints on the quality of the fish, the presentation, the staff or the decor. I just wished that the sushi chef allowed the fish to breathe and be enjoyed in a more “traditional” way. Aside from that one “complaint”…. it’s definitely a place to experience.
Go's Mart Serves the Finest Sushi and Sashimi
July 12, 2023
Friends had been raving so we went. This is an unheard of, nondescript 9-seat sushi bar restaurant with an additional 2 small tables. Very eccentric. We loved it. No ambiance. No identifying signage outside. One has to be seeking it to find it. No reservations and no alcohol. Open from 5:30 to 9 PM. Can order Omakase or ala carte. No formal menu, just names of fishes on a whiteboard, no prices listed. Some courses not on the board but available.The dishes are incredibly tasty and delicate–some served with edible gold leaf, sea salt, Osetra caviar, or truffle oil, and the plating is delightfully artistic.. But its mostly about the fish–fresh and fresher. Reminded me of Sushi Dai in the Tsukiji Market (Tokyo Fish Market). Yes that level of freshness. and its worth the travel and the price which is not inconsequential. Several days later, we’re still raving about our meal.Oh, and Chef Go (is that really his name?) is a pleasant gentleman:-)
