Goma | Japanese

The food is amazing!!! But so is the overall waitstaff and atmosphere. We had Carl for a waiter and he was so friendly and attentive. Normally when I look for sushi restaurants, I make sure they are Japanese chefs, however, it is VERY evident Dante studied in Japan and he had excelled over the many sushi restaurants I have been to. We ordered a couple of menu items but also got the omakase. We celebrated our anniversary and they definitely treated us for it. I would 100/10 recommend Goma to anybody who likes Japanese cuisine!!

Food was great! Started off with the truffled lobster miso, it had nice pieces of lobster and the truffle gave it a unique taste. Than I ordered a Hibiscus Dragonfruit Lemonade and made it a double, super good. I ate the Zen roll because of the burdock root and it was good. I always eat my sushi by mixing wasabi and soy sauce, its a must.

It’s been two years since I moved to Cleveland, and throughout that time, GOMA has consistently been one of my favorite places to dine. As I graduate from residency and prepare to move to Nashville, I wanted my final meal in Cleveland to be here. I especially want to recognize two outstanding team members. First, Katie, my server, noticed that I had ordered vegan rolls and immediately brought me vegan soy sauce without me even having to ask. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a great example of attentive, personalized service. I also want to give a shoutout to Zach for his incredible hot sauce. It strikes the perfect balance between savory flavor and heat, and it genuinely elevated the meal. While there are many exemplary people at GOMA, these two stood out during this memorable visit. I’m grateful that my last meal in Cleveland was here. Thank you, GOMA, for being a special part of my Cleveland journey, and for creating experiences I’ll remember long after I’ve moved to Nashville.

Dining at Goma for the first time was a memorable introduction to their omakase experience. I reserved the omakase (for an anniversary), we were served by head sushi chef Kuncheol Lee, whose warmth and approachability immediately set the tone for the evening. He was genuinely conversable and friendly, taking the time to explain each course while making the experience feel personal rather than formal. Every course was beautifully executed and consistently delicious. It was exciting to watch Chef Lee’s skill and precision come through in the food—each piece felt intentional, balanced, and thoughtfully composed. He is respectful and attentive in asking about and adjusting to any dietary restrictions! While the omakase pricing is on the expensive side—especially compared to some omakase experiences I’ve had in California and New York—the quality of the food, service, and overall experience still made it a good value. I left satisfied and impressed, and I would absolutely come back again.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Goma Goma is hands-down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Cleveland. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, modern, and perfect for a romantic date night or a special occasion. What truly made the evening unforgettable was the amazing staff. Sushi Chef Zach is a master of his craft—every dish he prepared was a visual and culinary masterpiece. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our service was equally impressive. Lauren and Lexie were outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel so well taken care of and added such a personal, thoughtful touch to our evening. If you're looking for an elevated, memorable night out in Cleveland, Goma is a must. Whether it's for a date night, celebration, or just a treat-yourself evening, you’ll walk away raving about it—just like we did. Can’t wait to come back!
