Delicious food! Staff is so kind and welcoming. After we ordered, our waitress brought out complimentary crab tempura. Very good food, even better service. Chicken katsu is a must have, large portions and absolutely amazing. Was too excited to eat the green dragon roll, and snuck a few bites in before a photo.
Best sushi in the area! Great service good choices. Other menu option for people that don't like sushi. Definitely going back and soon!
We were travelling across Ontario and stopped for a sushi. We were grateful we did - they serve great food with a fair price. We figured two rolls would be enough for two people, but was actually too much Amazing food regardless
visit: may 11, 2024 went with a couple of friends and 3 kids. pretty busy for a small joint. i had the red tuna sashimi and it's not bad.. miso soup was a little off, but I've had worse. the bulgogi bento the girlfriend ordered was pretty decent, chapchae needed a little tweaking, but not bad as a simple side dish.. didn't try the other stuff in the bento, although i stress that the main thing (bulgogi with vegetables) tasted very good! my friend had ordered the (pork) tonkatsu and it had the right texture and seasoning, pairs well with rice! (but so did my sashimi!) shrimp tempura was also good! I'd recommend the shrimp tempura, red tuna sashimi, the tonaktsu (pork) and the bulgogi (stir fry?). agedashi tofu was also good! I'd skip the chapchae, miso soup.. crab thingies served was complimentary, and our server was suuuuper nice. 310 for 6 adults and 3 minors.. not bad and would try them again! they take amex btw, a plus for me.. bring change though, parking may be a little challenging, and parking meters use coins i think.. (i forgot, i think you can also pay at a machine)
This is a must for us every time we come to Cobourg - the food is amazing, large portions, the staff are super friendly and everything about this place is perfection. The sushi pizza is the best we’ve ever had, the tempura is done perfectly and not oily, and the maki is super fresh and simply outstanding!
We tried the Golden Chopsticks for the first time for Father’s Day and it was delicious. The broccoli tempura was fantastic and my son & I’s favourite. We ordered a variety of vegetarian sushi rolls and they were good. We particularly liked the tempura yam rolls and the avocado rolls. Friendly services. They were swamped with take out orders, but we were still served in a decent time. Will be going back!
The waitress was great, food took a little time to come out since they were swamped with take out orders. It was well worth the wait! Best hand rolls I've ever had!!!
Golden Chopsticks is by far the best sushi restaurant in this area. The service is incredible. The food is outstanding and always looks beautiful. The best hot Sake, and it's always hot! They always give everyone a complimentary appetizers at the beginning of the meal. They do not over charge for anything. Love love LOVE this restaurant. I wish other places would take notes from this place because it is hands down the best.
