About

GOROU provides a carefully curated Japanese vegetarian omakase experience, centered around a 12–14 course degustation with mostly vegan dishes and thoughtful vegan substitutions. The dining is intimate with seating at a sushi bar where the chef engages guests by explaining ingredients in Chinese, offering a unique interactive element to the meal. Priced reasonably around $30 USD, it combines innovative molecular gastronomy techniques with traditional Japanese flavors, making it fitting for special occasions or a treat-yourself outing in Kaohsiung.
