| Godai’s "High-Noon" look---board walls, Mexican tile floors and tin star decorations---gives it a noodle-Western setting that seems just fine for the San Antonio sushi it serves. Saddle up with starters such as the crab spring rolls with spicy mayo or tuna sashimi seared in olive oil; they’re all part of a fusion focus that also includes tuna asparagus wraps with basil oil. Then sashay on to any of the classic sushi and sashimi selections---with the possible exception of aggressively chile-spiked tobiko. Consider pairing chef Goro’s avocado salad with crab and green onion with a cold saké. The relatively restrained rolls also merit a look-see. But it’s in utterly Asian dishes such as the yellowtail shoulder or chicken bulgogi that tradition finally prevails. Untraditionally, there’s a much better wine list than expected; deep-fried Oreos might also be a surprise. |
