    I’m a regular at the Resturant and both my friend and I will go to many Japanese restaurants on the Coast and have decided it was without question GOTO is the best Japanese authentic restaurant on the Gold Coast. Watching the crew prepare the food is amazing everything is so precise and the best part of all the food is delicious . The menu is excellent. Much to choose from We will be back again in the New Year thank you and congratulations on your 12 months in business
