Gochi is slang and short for “gochisou” meaning treat or a hearty meal. That is what Chef Masa Takei strives to deliver at his second restaurant in Mountain View. It may be a smaller and somewhat more austere venture than the Cupertino location, but is nonetheless infused with the same passion for traditional Japanese cuisine blended with contemporary flavors. Diners who come here like it the way it is – no distractions from the food enjoyment. The place as well obliges vegetarians with their own veggie menu. The creative fusion tapas, their unique thin crust pizzas, and those filling clay pots of rice and toppings have given this restaurant the rave reviews that spill over the Bay Area.
