    Less floating fat on the noodle and gyoza soup please. And the food was great just a little bit expensive, but acceptable.

    We've been coming to Goryon-san for a while now and while the food is always good, they have implemented a ridiculous one drink per customer mandatory rule. This is the only restaurant we've encountered in Australia that enforces this rule. We ended up ordering 4 bottles of sparkling water for $3.50 each which turned out to be reusable bottles filled with sparkling from their tap vs new bottles which is what we were expecting. Cafes give out sparkling for free, much less charge $3.50 per bottle. So we ended up paying $14 for sparkling water from a tap in reusable bottles. We spoke to a waitress and the manager, they were not apologetic and continued to reinforce this one drink per customer rule. This rule isn't ethical to force customers to order drinks and the drinks aren't even new. We wouldn't return to Goryon anymore and would not recommend since this is the only restaurant we've encountered that has this rule.

    Food was great, we ordered alot of skewers must order signatures. Also ordered a gyoza noodle soup made with tonkatsu very rich. Overall food is great. Skewers range from $7-10. But it takes a while for the food to come. Took us 1.5hrs to have all the food served. Tried lemon chu hi can't taste the alcohol. Also had lemon soda very lemony

    We ordered 3 dishes to start with but it took like 40mins to come out. Also the waiter served wrong dish and we waited like another 30mins. He didnt apologise or anything. The vibe, food and drinks were good! Will come back if better service is guaranteed.
