What are all these people thinking when they give these ratings. I've traveled to Japan on many occasions, tried suppose best Japanese restaurants all over USA & Europe and Gonpachi is equivalent of of Denny's in Japanese. Sure they have beautiful setting but everything after that it's a miserable failure. I've dine at Gonapchi 4 times last year and swore I would never be back but after reading all these glorious reviews I decided to give them a another shot. I think all these reviews are written by employees of Gonapchi or all these people have no idea what they talking about when it comes to Japanese food. They serve bad quality, bad tasting, badly prepared food in bad presentation. They do not know how to combine flavors or texture to save their lives. I think monkey could do a better job of coming up with menu that makes sense. Service is lacking in care, politeness, timing and attitude. Decor is still nice but their decision to close the upstairs due to lack of business has ruin even the atmosphere. There are many good quality Japanese restaurants with good & service so why would anyone care to go to Gonapchi is a mystery.
Pros: plenty of parking and tables
Cons: everything else
