    Really good sushi, very fresh tasting. The salmon is top tier, as well as the tuna. Service is kinda slow but it was okay, gave me more time to eat lol. I would come back here

    This is my favorite spot to grab authentic sushi in town. It's run by an older Japanese couple that do the serving and cooking together, extremely hard working. The slightly outdated interior gives it a nostalgic vibe and paired with a delicious hot meal it's quite the spot. I'll support this small local business any day.

    First time here. Fast ordering, friendly service, good food! I ordered for pick up and was in and out quickly. Masks are required. I posted updated menu pics.

    beautiful assortment/layout of my choices, but my camera hates that it doesn't get sexy 1-on-1 time individually w/ each roll

    After work, wat does appetite n camera feel? Let's make it an outstanding nite! Tasty sushi n fishy it is! I mean, save u all the hard work of doing an episode of the deadliest catch n come here, I mean u don't have 2 hire a sushi chef; they got u covered.. n perhaps a butler/server Anyways, came here, empty restaurant, sushi chef interested in wat he doing n working hard I guess 4 the only other guest that came in b4 me.. waitress said sit wherever u want Yay! I get freedom, freed @ last! Instead of that, sh*thole of a place w/ lightning strikes (u know the place I reviewed last wk w/ those storms, but still was a fan of regardless, where they condescendingly command that u sit by the corner like timeout 4 ur bad actions, grade school, 1 2 3 equals one, sorry I'm wrong) so, waitress came n gave me order form.. I checked off 3 rolls n nigiri: (1) Vegas Roll - perfect fried; (2) Rainbow Roll - pretty decent; interesting, that they have tilapia as part of it, must've ran out of fish n tried 2 hide it.. but me, thee fishy expert can spot the fishiness that is going on.. u BAD boy chef! + 2 pieces of the roll; specifically, the seaweed part wasn't cut all the way.. bad knife skills as dreams of Hiro might say; (3) Dancing Eel Roll - it had seaweed flakes (u know the flakes u put on the balls of octopus) n it worked w/ that tasty eel, as it danced inside the giant's mouth (me).. best out of the 3 that I devoured (4) Hamachi yellowtail nigiri not bad good service as waitress says thank u each time.. well, in return.. I thank them 4 a tasty collection of fishes n all the hard work of fishing! Bonus footage: Place looked super outdated, but is clean including the weird restroom layout Now, here r ur ESPN highlights: 1_ excellent sushi 2_ Amen 2 Thank You service! 3_ freed @ last seating 4_ cheap I can afford this prices 5_ outdated place screaming 4 Robert Irvine 2 do Restaurant: Impossible makeover, but an A+ for cleanliness though

If you had grown up in this part of Pierce County, you are familiar with the enormous changes. However, this is one restaurant that has stayed with the times. Locals know, this is the place to start with, an original - Ho Soon Yi. Where the place can easily be swallowed up by the hustle and bustle of businesses on a very busy city street, this casual sit-down Korean restaurant has the everyday favorites you are familiar with. Where many Korean American establishments focus on the BBQ aspect, Ho Soon Yi focuses and masters other parts Korean cuisine. Specifically the soups!! And they are tasty!! Definitely the tofu soups are there, but there are appetizers, fried rice, and the traditional small side dishes are also served. My friend and I ordered the savory seafood pancake as the appetizer. As for soups, I ordered the Pork Tofu Soup and it was great! Definitely satisfying, and I didn't miss the BBQ one bit. Yes, the do have kalbi and bulgogi (beef, pork and seafood) but that is for another time. There are definitely plenty dishes to try. And all are tasty. You won't be disappointed. Come see an original before seeing the others. See Ho Soon Yi... soon!

There was nooooo flavor! It desperately needed salt, MSG, soy sauce literally anything to add flavor. The super hot bowl crisped up the rice which was a fun texture but made it stick to my teeth real bad bc it got too crispy. Some parts started to burn bc the pot was so hot. The chicken was non-existent. There were a ton of beansprouts and pickled veggies which costs next to nothing however they charge $20 for this dish. My friend got shrimp fried rice and also had to add seasoning when she got home. For the prices, I'm shocked at how bland and boring the food is. The service was quick and they get packed during lunch hours.

The Army Stew was very spicy and contained sausages, spam, kimchi, and ramen. There were plenty of proteins in this dish but I did wish the Army Stew had tteok-bokki. It was not as big as I expected. The Pork Cutlet with Cheese was the biggest positive surprise. The pork itself was crispy and savory and the gravy on top of it had a sweetness that complimented the savoriness of the pork. There was plenty of melted mozzarella cheese to help bind the gravy to the pork cutlet. The Kimchi pancake with pork was very big and had a crunchy outside. However, the batter a the kimchi itself was too soft on the inside and did not hold any texture. The pancake fell apart almost immediately when it was picked up. Atmosphere: 9/10 No frills pocha with K-pop in the background and k-pop on a large TV. The tables had a built in stove in the middle to keep all the stews and soups hot. Service: 8/10 Service was understandably a little slow due to there being only 1 server the entire night. I will say, the restaurant was at about 70% capacity. For being a Wednesday, the restaurant was a lot more full than I expected so I understand the slow service.

K Pocha is great for late-night drinks and food. I highly recommend it!

Service is efficient and friendly enough, and the decor is Hanok-charm.

This place has never failed my household and has been consistent, even after the new ownership years ago. Each rice/noodle/broth bite is like being hugged by a Teddy bear, and with the crunchy (maybe even lightly pickled?) radish kimchi... how could you not want to eat here? I would not sniff at the handmade mandoo... those dumplings didn't come from a frozen package from HMart, so make sure you get at least a 6 pc order in. The shoyu-based dipping sauce is optional, really. You could enjoy with or without it. Tip: add a little bit of the radish kimchi brine to your soup broth for a next level spicy flavor bomb bite. You won't be sorry.

She told me full details of the menu to which is usually ordered or popular at the moment, since I couldn't decide myself. I loved everything she recommended and can't wait to go back again. I specially loved the kalbi and pork tofu combo . We did get the stone bibimpap as well which was amazing !! And the seafood pancake .

However, I had a horrible experience with service in May. It was by far the WORST service I've ever received, even based Asian restaurant standards (iykyk). I've always had older servers, usually ladies but on occasion on gentleman. This time, it was a young girl. It was my first time seeing her there. She had no facial expression to start. And after she repeated our orders, it was incorrect so I correct her. She said "I know", and repeated the wrong order again. When I clarified by listing the correct order, she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Isn't it a server's job to take order, and make sure it's correct? I did not take away from the tips because there are other servers who helped bring our food and refill the banchans, but this encounter made me not want to go back for a while, despite how much I like the food. Management - please train your staff about customer service, especially the new hires.

Prices were high, that's fine considering how things are right now.

But because of my family size and which wasn't stated anywhere on the menu or the facility, I was embarrassed in front of my family and asked to raise it to a minimum of 15%. A shame that this wasn't just reflected in the already high menu prices. Pay your employees instead of having them resort to such atrocious aggressive tactics and begging. I previously refused to come back. But was only here due to a Mother's day request. I will now aggressively push back to anyone that even recommends this restaurant.

The Mongolian Beef was not good. I didn't care for the sauce, the meat was chewy, and the styrofoam noodles were rancid--and there were a lot of them! The actual portion size was pretty small. The salad on the plate with the Teriyaki and Gyoza was big chunk of lettuce with a giant glob of dressing--pretty unappealing. Service was mediocre. There were flies buzzing around as we ate. I think we are the only Americans in here right now. Pretty busy for dinner. Not really sure that we would return, better places in the area. Overall 2.5 rating.
