Dining at Goma for the first time was a memorable introduction to their omakase experience. I reserved the omakase (for an anniversary), we were served by head sushi chef Kuncheol Lee, whose warmth and approachability immediately set the tone for the evening. He was genuinely conversable and friendly, taking the time to explain each course while making the experience feel personal rather than formal. Every course was beautifully executed and consistently delicious. It was exciting to watch Chef Lee’s skill and precision come through in the food—each piece felt intentional, balanced, and thoughtfully composed. He is respectful and attentive in asking about and adjusting to any dietary restrictions! While the omakase pricing is on the expensive side—especially compared to some omakase experiences I’ve had in California and New York—the quality of the food, service, and overall experience still made it a good value. I left satisfied and impressed, and I would absolutely come back again.

Man I don’t know what a lot of these reviews are talking about. This was the best sushi experience I’ve ever had in Cleveland, by a mile. Spoiler - it’s not cheap. And why would it be? Do we live on the ocean? Some people… Chef Lee was awesome - chatting with us casually and curating an incredible nigiri selection . Wait staff was great. Super fresh offerings, sushi rice was seasoned perfectly, maybe ONE complaint was the miso soup was a bit low on flavor, but truly 5/5. Hope this stays around a long time. I’ll be back, soon.

First time trying it on Friday night. I've heard that it's not as good as Ginko, but after trying both I can say it's just as good. There are specific items on both menus I really love.
