Gochiso Japanese Restaurant

We were looking for a Japanese resto in Chatswood/Wiloughby area that did more than udon/ramen. Found this one - thanks to TripAdviser! We noted that a review indicated it gets busy - so we booked through the linked dimmi app and, sure enough, when we arrived we saw that most tables already had other reservations. Thanks again for the useful review.BTW, total seating is maybe 40. (Guess from my memory of the lay-out.)We were first to arrive at 6pm and our order was quickly taken. We tried some different dishes - octupus balls and sashimi carpaccio for entree and then tofu teriyaki, wagyu teriyaki udon soup, udon (yes, the kids still went for udon even though we were aiming for non-noodles) and eel. We enjoyed the flavours. I can't say if it was fantastic since we are not Japanese food experts - but we would happily return and try more dishes.The staff remained friendly and helpful throughout the meal, even as it filled up. Clearly a lot of the diners are local. Their dress was pretty casual - as though they just popped in rather than cooking at home. So a good sign that it gets repeat customers. Just don't forget to book. :-)We bought our own wine and had 1 beer - total cost was $125 for all of us. Decent value for the food and service.

Ate here on Thursday second time visiting. The food is lovely from the warm endamame to the duck pancakes to the delicious rare beef all is good and tasty. Relaxed atmosphere, lots of kids, good service, quick turnaround and byo. The surroundings pleasant but my only gripe would be very bright lighting a bit more subdued would add to evening atmosphere.
