    Staff was quick and friendly. Went late at night but it got pretty busy around 8-9pm. It's a nice place for a date or even to meet up with friends. Definitely an underrated gem in the city. So many options to chose from and the prices are affordable

    As the name says, they also offer bbq, specifically Korean bbq. I tried the sushi only. Instead of putting the tobiko or ikura on rice they put it on cucumber cups which was cute an added crunch.

    Finding this location was kind of a hole in the wall, especially with all the scaffolding around the restaurant but there is a big sign for it! The service was good and the lady and the chef were so sweet. Our meals were served with the Korean side dishes, and I was so happy about this. We ordered a spicy pork bento box and two sushi rolls: sunshine and spicy tuna crunch. It ended up being a lot more food than we could comfortably finish. The sushi was tasty and the bento had a good amount of spicy pork and the sides (mandoo, California roll, spring tempura, salad)

    First time here. Did an order to go. Staff was super friendly and took good care of us and packaged our meal really well. Food was super delicious! Loved how they labeled the food too and put in extra goodies like kimchi, cucumber salad and extra soy sauce and mayo. The inside was super cute too.

    Recently had takeout from them. I had passed them a few times and was curious. I guess it's Korean and Japanese fusion. I'd be interested in some of their Korean dishes. Anyway, my boyfriend's mom ordered some kind of crazy party platter. Personally, I think it's way too much money. I'd be more than happy with just 2 sushi rolls but it was a fun treat yo self moment. There was a decent variety but mostly limited to from what I can tell salmon, tuna, white tuna, and eel in both rolls and sashimi. But everything tasted super fresh. I'd definitely do it again but maybe with less sashimi and just rolls or go there in person.

    Very nice staff there that greets you when you enter and thanks you when you exit. Inside has a lot of seating. I ordered right before their lunch options ended and got the sushi and sashimi lunch special. The cuts were plenty and the quality was good and fresh. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth and would come back.

    We were looking for something nearby and found EJ BBQ Sushi based on their great reviews. We were a bit taken aback when we arrived at the front door as it's not fancy at all and the table was a bit sticky. The waitress was very attentive and accommodating - except when we were looking to get the check which took 15 minutes - not sure why, it wasn't crowded. The fried pork gyoza was good and so was the miso soup. Miso soup usually only comes with an entrée but they comped us a miso soup even though we ordered a la carte. We enjoyed the California roll, American sushi (special ordered tuna salmon yellowtail) and beef japchae. The portions and sushi quality were good. The beef on the japchae was very tasty and came with the usual comped Korean side dishes of spicy and pickled items. The mango mochi wasn't very good so we'd definitely skip that. It was affordable and a great choice for nearby FIT students (who will also get a discount). We would return if we were in the area and looking for affordable sushi but would not go out of way to return.

    Spicy combo, tamago and spicy salmon roll.

    Food was great! Service was good and very prompt, sushi was fresh and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

    Sushi lunch special

    This place really surprised me. Excellent cuts of fish and a lovely staff. A little hard to spot but I honestly can't name any other sushi in the area this good for a reasonable price.

    Ordered online for pickup. Got there earlier and while waiting the chefs were super nice and welcoming. The hand roll and California rolls were delish! Would get again.

The menu was a joy to read and it was soon obvious that we weren't going to go wrong with anything we ordered! The Han dumplings are *chefs kiss* y'all need to order them for sure. For my main course I went with the LA galbi. I had a hard time eating the steak with my chopsticks so I ended up using my hands, (our waiter said that was normal, but he may have just been nice) because the flavor was so good I didn't want to leave any meat uneaten. Seriously some of the best flavors of my life!!! Though I'm still learning how to eat green things I bet the salad was amazing too!! The restaurants vibe was so much fun, we feel very grateful to have been able to eat at Her Name is Han and will recommend it to anyone who asks. 100/10 would recommend :)

Walked in, they flipped the cup and filled our water cups and then refilled our water after filling our cups. Very thoughtful. They also brought extra napkins after the dishes started coming out. Sides Zucchini taste like Chinese jellyfish . Pretty tasty The kimchi wasn't too strong in flavor but it was a pretty good flavor Fishcake tastes like aji ichiban. Sweet. Broccoli decent. Roasted garlic flavor Bossam was decent. Could be a bit more tender but has plenty of flavor. Wish it had bigger pieces of veggie and more. Can't even wrap the meat Spicy raw marinated crab Felt like it was hard to find the meat with all the sauce The sauce was very enjoyable , perfect amount of flavor, spice and sweetness Crabs did feel very fresh and sweet though Kimchi pancake was pretty decent in flavor and came with an egg on it but no sauce. It was lacking a bit of umph which I believe could've been achieved with a sweet and salty sauce/dip Seafood stew felt very light in a good way even with its spice. The flavor is good and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients I wish the egg which was in the stew was a bit more runny in the stew. I added the egg from the kimchi pancake into the stew and it vastly improved the dish. Portion size of the pancake and bossam felt pretty small though Corn bingsu Pretty decent. It's about a 1 person serving or 2 if everyone is pretty full The also layered it so that it wasn't only flavoring on the top. Even the bingsu ice part was sweet. The corn flakes were very crispy and the corn cream was good almost milky like white chocolate . Very refreshing after the meal The food was decent overall but did not really feel justified for it's price. The price felt very high for what I felt it was worth.

We ordered their large beef package which was more than enough for four people. We even had some leftovers! The meat was so tender and practically melted in your mouth. I especially loved that the waiter cooked and cut the meat for us. Their side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, too. I also loved how spacious and clean the restaurant was. The whole space felt luxurious and upscale which made the experience feel extra special. Another thing I really appreciated was that I didn't leave the restaurant smelling like Korean BBQ! It is on the pricier side, but if you're looking for high-quality Korean BBQ with excellent service and a luxurious atmosphere for a special occasion, this is a great place to go. It was worth every cent!

We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Didn't order any drinks, but the meat quality was excellent, and our server cooked everything pretty well so we could just sit back and enjoy. The service was top-notch too. They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!

Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef.
