Went here two weeks ago. Had a reservation for 8:30, but we weren't seated until nearly 9pm. I guess the table before us was having such a blast they didn't want to leave. When we were finally seated, we stocked up on beef, so much beef, couldn't find a vegetable on our table, but so much delicious beef. Oh, and loads of 8 RMB Asahis. The glasses were small, but then again, they were only 8pm. Our table of 9 ate and drank our weight in beer and beef and shelled out 120 RMB a person. Will definitely be going back!

Went here for dinner last night for the all-you-can-eat shabu shabu. It was incredibly affordable at RMB88 and the Asahi draft beers were super cheap. My only gripe is that they didn't have many vegetarian options... But my meat eating friends raved about their meal. I would definitely come back.

Always busy. Good price for all you can eat shabu shabu. I like the beer beef, and while it gets loud and busy, service isn't bad.

Great selections for an all you can eat Hot Pot. I'm not a big fan of the lemon/lime in their soy sauce but I do like their peanut sauce. Try to arrive early or later. Gokohai is always full of friendly people with a bright atmosphere.
Would recommend for a nice inexpensive meal.

Seeking food in Shanghai is like traveling all over the world right in the comfort of your own bustling, smoggy (but heart-felt) city. It's not everyday you can go to Nepal, but I find myself gravitating to Nepali Kitchen for their fried cheese balls and steamed cauliflower dishes. For the ultimate trifecta (reasonable prices, all-you-can-eat and a good time), my friends and I reserve one of the back rooms (or all three!) at Gokohai Shabu Shabu. No one leaves unsatisfied with YY5 Asahi draft beers and YY88 gets you a ticket to unlimited beef piled in mountainous form. With half the staff speaking Japanese, I feel right at home. I also enjoy a calm outdoor brunch at Bastiaan Bakery on the Hongmei Lu Pedestrian Street. This German bakery makes some mean smoothies, my favorite being the Healthy Breakfast Smoothie complete with oats and honey. I pair it up with the Salmon Club sandwich and fries to get all the fuel I need for another weekend in the 'hai.

Gokohai is one of my favorite restaurants in Shanghai. The price is about 100 or so a person all you can eat with 5 RMB Asahis. You may be suspicious eating their beef sashimi, but trust me and you'll see that it is one of the best in Shanghai. The beer belly beef is a must. Reservations are needed, and the environment is a bit crowded but it does have a cozy feeling.
