Quality of Food
First off I must admit my expectations were somewhat shaped by Gogyo's predecessor, another Japanese restaurant at the very same location. The quality there could fluctuate so much that you can walk out absolutely disgruntled one time but delightfully contented the next. Anyhow, Gogyo makes good, original ramen, as well as decent skewers with a twist.
Ramen -
五行焦香味噌拉面ark, rich broth with indeed some hint of smokiness. Ramen noodles were moderately thick, chasiu tender, all in all quite a wholesome main course. I'd rate this 8.5/10.
黑拉面: again a darkish broth, but with a bit of spice which does elevate the tastes and texture. Ramen noodles thick and chewy, chasiu an interesting adaptation - you'll see what I mean. Egg well executed. I'd rate this 8/10.
Others -
和风串烧盛 (5 pieces): this consists of wagyu, smoked egg, cherry tomatoes wrapped in bacon (those are the best ones), and then also a disappointing salmon piece and scallop cubes. The latter ones were cold and didn't retain the fresh and melt-in-your-mouth experience seafood ought to have. On average I'd give this 7/10.
Tofu panna cotta with chocolate crispy bits and sorbet : I guess they were inspired by all the "deconstruction" trend going on with French desserts or something, but anyhow this is an interesting rendition of panna cotta, no cream but tofu as the base. Nice surprise, and fresh berries. 7.5/10.
Decor
Nice high ceiling, not a lot of seating. The bar table in the centre gives you both the ramen experience as well as a good place for drinks I suppose.
Service
This I have to give mixed reviews because while one of the ladies who served us was all smiles and helpfulness, and who also asked for feedback on the food etc, one of the bartender/waitresses looked like she was yanked out of bed for work that is obviously below her...=~=
That's it! Sorry about not bothering with pictures...but all the other reviewers post good pictures anyway, nothing much to add on that aspect.
Oh and I forgot to mention Gogyo is more than ramen and skewers, it offers sashimi, sushi, other hot food, as well as lots of interesting good beer (which they also offer pairing with ramen and other courses, making a 7-course menu in total - try that if you have the time and luxury I suppose). Not very expensive either, for the qualit. Thus all in all, worth trying!
题外话/补充资料：
No wait after 8:30 pm , but other reviewers seem to suggest the place would be packed at lunch, or so I would suppose.
