Central is part of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. The north shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the densest business areas in the city: the MTR Island Line runs from Kennedy Town to Chai Wan, the trams ("ding dings") between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and many businesses trade from upper floors of office blocks and older tenement buildings. The south side is known for beaches, trails and fishing harbours such as Repulse Bay, Stanley and the Aberdeen typhoon shelter, which get busy at weekends and on public holidays. Central is Hong Kong's financial and business heart; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links the streets up the hill, Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo come alive at night, and the Central piers serve the Outlying Islands.

We had booked over a week in advance and requested counter seats. As I expected, I couldn't find the entrance to Godenya the first time. The restaurant entrance is inconspicuous, but after walking around twice, I finally found it. Once inside, I saw the owner, Mr. Shinya Goshima, wearing traditional Japanese clothing, greeting the guests. The décor is very simple and clean. The waiter was very polite and welcoming, and the food and sake pairings were excellent. My son and I both felt very much at home.🥰

3.5 stars Overall, the food was pretty great. Some dishes were a bit of a miss, but mostly they were quite remarkable. However, considering that it was $2,500, I had higher expectations. Of course, the expensive price tag is also because of the generous amount of sake served. While I did find the sake pairing to be quite good, I don’t enjoy sake enough to really appreciate it. The whole dining experience also felt like I was transported to Japan, from the booking system, to the interior design of the restaurant, and all the staff seem to be Japanese or know how to speak the language fluently. This was a good meal, but I’m not sure whether I would be back.

What an exquisite experience dining at this special Japanese restaurant. Every dish was superb, with fresh and delicious ingredients brilliantly concocted and presented together in an authentic manner. The sake pairing is a must! It showcases the creativity behind the curation of the sake choices to go alongside the seasonal menu, adding some fun in enjoying a range of sakes in different temperatures too. Tucked away in a small alleyway with an unassuming entrance, Godenya is anything but ordinary. My meal and experience there was easily one of the best of the year and I already look forward to my next visit!

We have been this retaurant for more than 5 years. The dishes are getting better and better. The sake pairs pefectly. The services was very high quality. It is strongly recommended for special occassions as the price is not cheap.

Absolutely loved this place. There is only limited place. A room that can sit 4 to 8 people. There are a few seats in the counter, and a table for 2. Decorations are simple but brilliant. The sake pairing with food is amazing. There is a lot of thoughts put into the menu. The presentation is brilliant. The price is on the expensive side but worth every penny.
