Food was good. The portion sizes were a little small. Probably better to order an appetizer with your meal.

We enjoy going to Goen for some really good food. The staff is always great and it has a great ambiance. It is a bit pricey, so get ready to spend a bit. But overall, very good!

Eggplant was not very good value for the price. Not very tasty. Brussel sporuts and cauliflower were good. Mains were nice. Server was great.

We always try something different when we come in. I must say, I've never had meal here that I didn't enjoy or a server that wasn't on point. Everything is always delicious. Service from entering to exiting is always great. The pork belly katsu was something we tried that was new to the menu. The salmon skin with squid ink pasta was my overall favorite tonight. Honestly, you can order anything and it'll be awesome 👌
