" The place has a lovely setup with tasteful designs. I ordered the kara-age which was crispy and juicy, but my friend’s meal was a miss. It felt uneven between dishes. While my experience was good overall, the inconsistency is a concern; I hope their items improve over time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at many Japanese restaurants, but Gozen Shun really stands out in terms of authenticity and flavor! Their bento boxes remind me of my travels across Japan. I had the fried chicken bento, and it was delightful. I can't wait to introduce this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful experience! The variety in their menu is impressive, and I enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the desserts. Each dish seemed meticulously prepared, reflecting real Japanese culinary traditions. I’ll be back for sure, and I recommend bringing friends since the portions are great for sharing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am glad I found Gozen Shun! Having lived in Japan, I can say their dishes are quite authentic. I loved the rice bowls; they come with generous toppings and sides, making each meal complete. The tea selection could use an upgrade, but overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I’ll visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Gozen Shun given all the rave reviews. The ambiance was beautiful — modern yet intimate! However, I was quite disappointed with the salmon bowl I ordered. The rice was too warm and somewhat ruined the freshness of the sashimi; it felt more like the fish was steamed than raw. Also, our server seemed a bit distracted. I might give it another shot, but not for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place, as I’d heard so many great things, but my experience was just okay. The food was decent but nothing extraordinary. I found it a bit overpriced for what I got. The service was friendly but a bit scatter-brained. I might try takeout next time instead of dining in. " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon this jewel while exploring Pasadena. The gozen set is a dream - everything you want in one meal! Freshness shines through every dish, and the presentation is stunning. I didn't expect to say this, but I might become a regular here. Service was quick and efficient as well. " (*Curated Review*)
