Nice Asian style restaurant. Soup was tasty but missed some noodles. Poke was surprisingly good and tasty. I would definitely come again for poke. Dessert was not so gods but okay. It looked like taken out of packaging and was little bit dry. Surprise was that you can also order something like bubble tea. Staff was kind and restaurant had good atmosphere.
Usually the food is great, tasty, light (not too oily as in some of the restaurants) and well balanced with vegetables. I highly recommend. Great bowls, noodles and also the spicy soup!! They also do takeaway. I just had a bad experience recently when I found a dead bug in my food when I ordered a takeaway! Dear staff, please be mindful of this!
The best Asian restaurant in Bratislava I have ever had We visited the restaurant on a rainy day, which was perfect for a hot pot. Even though it was Monday, the restaurant was quite crowded. It’s because we had booked the table and ordered food before arriving, so we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I have visited and enjoyed the food at Gao restaurant many times with my friends, and we are really satisfied with everything here : food, service, space, decoration and music . In the picture is Gao's special hot pot that i highly recommend for you guys . Broth made from beef bones, served with vegetables, mushrooms, seafood and beef , or many other toppings that you can freely choose . ( You should order one day before if you want to try the Gao's hot pot because it takes longer time for preparing )
Quiet restaurant, nice atmosphere. Very nice staff. Big variety of vietnamese food+sushi. I already visited multiple times. The food is great and they also bring it quickly :) I absolutely recommend (In the picture->summer rolls, vietnamese chicken broth soup with noodles)
Five stars for first visit, minus one (two on service?) for second visit... Had a great first experience with excellent food; mix of soup, spring rolls, dumplings, sushi, all great tastes and prompt service without being rushed. Few people in restaurant, attentive service, reasonable prices for quality of food. Returned a few days later and still good food, that time tried some of the same with sauteed noodles as well. Big problem though, one main entree order was forgotten by staff for our party of four, took at 20-25 minutes to get one (big) roll of sushi, needless to say everyone else had finished eating by then. Apology but nothing else. Staff was not the same as first evening and was not as smooth running, although restaurant was half empty. Will most likely return if in the area again for the excellent and varied food, but making sure all items are ordered and on their way. Recommended for sure.
Very good sushi. Very nice waitress, but we waited quite long for the service. Sashimi could be sliced more thin. After all, I would recommend this place, if you are looking for tasty sushi for reasonable price.
Very good asain food, they do offer other more western foods kike french fries which are noticeably weaker. But the main foods all tasted great. Staff was nice but forgot one order but apologiesd later. Overall recommend
