Go's Mart, Canoga Park CA

I have been to this place a number of times and it never fails to deliver the best sushi in Los Angeles. Don’t be fooled by the aesthetic of this place, it is exact opposite of the food. A unique experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Well. I’m rating this place from about 27-30 years ago when there was a Nihon market in the front and just a small sushi bar in the very back with about 7-10 stools total and I wonder if it’s the same chefs from those days… probably not since that sushi was amazing and did not cost an outrageous amount.
Our Friend Toyota who was a sushi chef from Japan and worked for 4 decades at Something’s Fishy told us about this place where he went for his sushi on his days off.it was absolutely fresh, great choices and chefs knew what they were doing and they were Nihonge. Toyota told me and my brother about this secret find since I lived in Japan for a number of years 40 years ago.and liked to speak Nihongo w the chefs so I don’t lose my second language… But according to the reviews I read here.it’s like REALLY pricey and maybe the market is gone? !
I had moved away decades ago and have been back to care for my folks since lockdown first happened. I was looking for a local market to buy authentic groceries like shizo leaves and mushrooms for my sukiyaki and remembered the nice little market in the front but it looks like it’s turned into a niche place and sooo very unaffordable place for me.even for LA

Very special place. They are very passionate about finding the best fish in the world. Tried some very rare and special cuts of fish that you don’t see at sushi park, sasabune etc. Very expensive.

Wow, what an unbelievable experience. Food is fantastic and because it's a reservation only kind of experience, the chef and staff are basically focused on your food and experience.

Truly an incredible experience. The chef told us that fresh fish is flown in from Japan three times a week and the quality shows why. Omakase is a must have and you’ll be presented with some of the most beautiful dishes you can imagine: the tuna quartet was unbelievable and the baby shrimp was some of the best I’ve had. The price is no joke ($250 pp if you drink) but if you’re looking for the best LA has to offer by way of sushi, this is worth it. Along with Brothers in Woodland Hills, this is the best sushi I’ve had in the US.

No words can describe the taste of this sushi place.
I’ll tell you, I’ve never had something like that.
Wow!

Stepping into Go's Mart is like stumbling upon the best-kept secret in town. It's this unassuming spot that houses the genius of Chef Go, the wizard behind the sushi bar.

The omakase? Absolute fireworks! A joyride through the ocean's bounty, and every plate is a delightful surprise. The freshness of the fish? It’s a no-brainer, dude. It's like Chef Go just teleported them straight from the sea to the plate. You'll find yourself marveling at how something as simple as a piece of fish can be transformed into a piece of edible art.

Chef Go doesn’t just serve sushi, he crafts experiences. His creativity is off the charts. His combinations might sound wild on paper, but when you taste them? Pure harmony.

But the real beauty of Go's Mart isn't just the mouthwatering sushi, it's the vibe. The joint is relaxed, laid back, and comfortably informal. It’s not about the pomp and ceremony here; it’s all about the sushi. It's like hanging out in a friend's kitchen – if your friend happened to be a sushi wizard.

So here's a massive shout-out to Go's Mart. Chef Go, you’re a true sushi rockstar. Keep on rolling those beautiful morsels of joy. And to anyone reading this – go and enjoy, laugh, chat, and eat.

Don't forget to appreciate the magic in every bite. And as they say in Japan, Itadakimasu! Enjoy your food! Cheers, Go's Mart, for the epic eats!

Fabulous sushi here. Order omakase and let Go take you on a flavor adventure. You’ll find a wide selection of fresh seafood here and you’ll probably enjoy Go’s wry sense of humor. Get there early in the evening because you want to sit at the bar. Very basic decor.

Go's Mart is my favorite sushi bar ever. I used to come here for years before the pandemic. This is not the type of sushi establishment to order a Philadelphia roll. Go’s Mart is for serious omakase sushi fans. We’ve eaten sushi for more than 30 years in LA and Go’s Mart is absolutely at the top of our list. I highly suggest ordering the omakase but if I was ordering individually my favorites are the hairy crab sushi, ankimo sashimi, Hokkaido scallop sushi, Hokkaido uni…and I could just keep on writing everything on the menu. The restaurant is fabulous. IYKYK

Sushi is great here. However. I’ll sometimes get to go orders and I just went in tryin to get just a few pieces to go…not 4,5,6. Just 2-3 and I needed some eel sauce too. We’ll they wouldn’t do any to go orders bc they were busy so I asked if they could just do a small small thing if eel sauce to go (that’s what I really needed for something I’m making for dinner and sushi was gonna be a little ap) they wouldn’t give me any eel sauce even though I’ve spent thousands here bc it’s super expensive (worth the sushi) but the customer service is kinda trash. Even in the past the women working there is not nice and she should be considering how much you spend.

Anyway. I won’t ever come back now bc this experience ruined it for me. All over a super small amount of eel sauce. Smdh.
