Institute for Integrative NutritionSeptember 18, 2012Gobo is a favorite of not only Joshua but many New Yorkers alike. Stop in for a quiet lunch or come for dinner when the space is crowded and lively.UpvoteDownvote
Ceejay MaroulisSeptember 13, 2011My favorites: Try the scallian pancake with mango chutney, spice tofu rolls with mango puree and the Vietnamese stir fry noodles with bean sprouts are pretty amazing.Upvote1Downvote- Institute for Integrative NutritionFebruary 5, 2013"Gobo is a favorite of not only Joshua but many New Yorkers alike.
