Pan-Asian spot tucked away on the SW end of Ann Arbor, right off 94. My husband and I go here occasionally largely out of convenience because it's really close to us! Never have a problem getting a table - it's usually just the right amount of busy. Plenty of parking on site. I think they might share ownership or have an arrangement for ingredients with next door Asian market Tsai Grocery. Now I'm not usually a huge fan of Pan-Asian restaurants (as I generally think if you're doing it all, you're not necessarily doing it well), but Godaiko has some interesting/creative fusion-y twists on their menu. It really is a choose your own adventure type of place. You could visit multiple times and have a completely different type of meal and experience each time. Last night we were feeling like sushi, and throw in some crispy chicken sliders, why not. (The sushi isn't the best around, but it's good.) Some of my favorite menu items I've tried: - Lettuce Wraps! Generous amount and not too salty (which I find with other places' lettuce wraps); pineapple is a nice addition - Beef Maki; very flavorful - Sushi Tuna Nachos; unique and I like the thin taro chips - Kobe Cheese Burger; the Asian part of this is in the dressing/sauce, a pretty decent burger if that's what you're feeling like - Shrimp Tempura Udon; crispy tempura (served on the side) and a clean tasting broth - Bento Box; one of these can feed 2, it's a lot of food! Decor and ambiance is nice, and kind of fun with Asian art pieces on the walls and ceiling (look up!). Service is good. Full bar (beer, wine, liquor, sake, cocktails) with a daily all-day drink special. Some of their cocktails are interesting as well - one time tried a lychee saketini and enjoyed. Usually I stick with beer, wine, or sake though. Food portions and drink pours are generous!

The fish selection here is very good quality and the portions are so big! My new favorite sushi restaurant in Ann Arbor. I like the bento box, it's enough for at least 2 people.

The sushi was huge.... And terrible (we ordered 4 rolls and 1 of them was edible) The "super tasty" wings were not that tasty, they tasted mostly like they were way too hot and placed in a plastic container. The beef maki tasted like tough stew meat.Way not worth the price. Go to Momo, Totoro, Yotsuba, or Sushi Dabu. Was more affordable and fresh and delicious food.

Food was great! I ate until I was full. The chef came out of the galley twice after I returned the rest of my food and gave me dirty looks. If he was upset he could of said something instead of eyeing me down.

Half my salad was wilted. Cucumbers had gotten frozen not so good. Salad dressing yummy! Edamame yummy. Flying noodle good. Chicken terayaki awful. Chicken was like rubber and dry

I've been all over the country and anytime I am in a big city - I look for the best Sushi place in town. I still can't find anything close to the quality I get here right at home. And the presentation is also top-notch. If you go for lunch and sit at the Sushi bar for the best experience - you'll probably get to talk with the owner/Sushi chef.
