Had a lovely lunch at Gochu (Commercial Bay, downtown Auckland) on Auckland Anniversary day. Did the "Leave it to the Chef" option with wine match (NZ$60 + 20, but with holiday surcharge 15% came to $92).
-Wagyu gimmari (crispy seaweed roll) with soy dipping sauce.
-Salmon crudo, chilli lime creme fraiche, nashi pear, chojang, perilla crisp
-Charred chicken, gochujang, comte cheese & leek sauce

-Gochu salad: cos lettuce, nashi, apple & shallot dressing
-Triple cooked potato, black garlic butter, kimchi sour cream
-Matcha cream donuts, yuzu curd, white chocolate
Two of us dining, so portions not huge, but we also got some white rice as part of the meal & didn't leave hungry.

The wines were both delicious & good with the food.
Tettonica PÊt-Nat (Pinot noir, Syrah, Chardonnay) (They'd run out of the Elephant Hill but this was a good replacement from a winery new to me)
Albert Bichot ''Mr No Sulfite'' Beaujolais Villages
Overall, fits well with the Commercial Bay vibe, this being a modern take on Korean flavours. Don't come here if you want traditional Korean food, but I really enjoyed the variety of flavours. #AucklandEats #kai #food #wine đđŊī¸ 3/3
