Such a great hidden gem in ktown! The fish is super fresh - the Uni is genuinely some of the best Uni I've had. The lunch and dinner sets are also amazing value. Bonus points for free parking read more

my favorite korean sushi place in ktown. all of their fish and tsukidashi are fresh and high quality. tsukidashi plates vary in a pleasant way depending on freshness and availability. very low key and for the price, you get a lot. the sashimi is fresh here and they provide a wide variety including toro and fresh abalone. you can also add on or order some really good a la carte sushi items. had some really fresh uni here better than some more reputable sushi places i've been to. in line with korean sushi restaurants, they have fresh halibut here as well. tempura is really good. you finish with mae oon tang, spicy seafood korean soup. never too crowded, free parking right in front. only downside is they'll close a little early if they don't have enough patrons. if you're in the mood for a korean inspired sushi course, come here. i want this place to stay around for selfish reasons, but it's just good solid sushi all the way around. service is quick and polite; sometimes the owner will bring you a complementary dish and take a shot of soju with you. sake also available. thumbs up. read more

Started off well -- the sukidashi side dishes were enjoyable and we were looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately, when the halibut sashimi came out, both of us immediately noticed a strong, artificial chemical taste (almost like dish soap). We each tried one piece and politely let a server know, who took the plate back. The owner/chef came to our table visibly angry and immediately questioned us with, "What do you mean it smells like soap?" Despite being caught off guard by his hostility, we calmly explained that it tasted strongly chemical to us. Instead of addressing the concern, he raised his voice and argued that another table had been served cuts from the same fish and didn't complain, so it "didn't make sense." He repeatedly asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while gesturing at the plate, but refused when we suggested he try a piece from our dish. He emphasized that it hurt his pride as a chef and continued yelling at us at our table for several minutes, which made us extremely uncomfortable. We explained that we had enjoyed the other dishes and would never have sent food back if the issue was minor. We also told him that we're willing to pay for all the other food we enjoyed, but the interaction ended with him angrily telling us to "just pay for the sake and leave." In all my years of dining out, I have never sent food back lightly, and I have never experienced a chef yelling at customers over politely expressing a concern. What could have been a good experience was completely overshadowed by unprofessional and hostile service. Would not return. 해삼전복멍게 포함 스키다시 반찬들은 전반적으로 신선하고 괜찮았어요. 그런데 메인으로 나온 광어회에서 비누/세재같은 맛이 나더라구요. 도저히 삼킬 수 없을 정도로 강한 냄새가 뱉은 다음에도 입 안에 남아있을 정도였어요. 각자 한 점만 먹은 후 서버에게 조심스럽게 말씀드렸고 서버분이 접시를 다시 가져가셨습니다. 이후 사장님/메인셰프님이 직접 오셨는데, 문제를 확인하기보다는 처음부터 화가 난 태도로 "비누 냄새가 난다는 게 무슨 말이냐"며 큰 소리로 따지셨습니다. 같은 생선으로 나간 다른 테이블은 문제가 없었다는 말을 반복하시며 이해할 수 없다고 하셨고, 저희가 직접 한 점 드셔보시라고 했지만 거절하셨습니다. 문제의 원인을 확인하려는 태도보다는 셰프로서의 자존심이 상했다는 점을 강조하셨고, 테이블 옆에서 몇 분간 목소리를 높이며 "이거 어떻게하라는거냐"며 따지셔서 굉장히 불편했습니다. 다른 음식은 다 맛있었고 먹은 음식 값을 내겠다, 그런데 냄새가 나는 회는 먹을 수가 없어 돌려보낸거다 라고 정중하게 말씀드렸지만 결국 "사케 값만 계산하고 가라"면서 역정을 내시더군요. 이런 경험은 처음이라 매우 당황스럽고 황당했네요. 맛의 문제를 떠나 손님 응대 방식이 많이 아쉬웠습니다. 재방문 의사 없습니다. read more

Came here for lunch today with my mom. We were the first ones there today so we had the place to ourselves for a little bit. The food was good and we got our orders quickly. I wish I had more wasabi bc I am a crazy wasabi person lol. I didnt like the miso soup as much though, but I had the yellow tail bento and my mom got the sashimi bibambap (the Korean version of poke). For the price this was not bad! read more

Ok... i dunno where to begin. 1st off, if your an avid eater of sashimi, then you have a pretty good expectation of food and service for these type of spots within ktown. Wife birthday and she requested we try a new spot she found on yelp that has alot of good reviews. Unfortunately, yelp completely failed this time around! Service is completely absent given there was only couple other tables. We should of known soon as we enetered seeing the lack of customers. We had to ring bell everytime even get attention within restuarant of 3 tables. Portions were all late and very limited. Im literallly having the biggest buyers remorse as i write this post, but cant take it out on wife since its her birthday. Anycase, if u like sashimi platter spending $150-250 avoid at all cost. So many other spots with more portion, better food, and better service. Seriously, if gonna skimp on portion at least provide better quality. Literally wanted to spit out some of their fish that was soo bad. I would never pay the price i paid for what i received. I provided most honest review, so i hope whoever reading will avoid same buyers remorse im feeling. I have to add again that we are here for the full course sashimi. There lunch specials anything other might be completely different. Wife literally said "i wasnt expecting this bad" this place literally trying to rip you off in front of your face. We been to bad places but this place is openly trying to scam you. If u dont believe me, i will bet this place doesnt last the next 6 months! Take my word and avoid at all cost. read more

No wait and free parking. We ordered a small set and food came out quick but the soup took a while. Only downside was we were in a private room and it was difficult to wave down a server when we needed something. read more

I had lunch with a friend in Kabukicho today. I ordered the Hamachi bento set and it was very fresh and high quality. The sushi tasted great and the tempura was good as well. The waiter was very kind, and all the staff were friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very nice. I'd like to come back in the evening next time to try more sushi. It's a place worth visiting. read more

First time here, and had a very pleasant experience. It's been a while since I seen a Korean sushi spot, so decided to stop by. I believe there's free parking if you park right in front of the restaurant- made the mistake of parking a little farther away because I thought that the restaurant was part of one big spectrum, but it's in a smaller, separate one and ended up paying for valet. Went on a weekday during lunch, and the restaurant was clean and quiet. Staff were very polite and attentive. They served us green tea and sides upon arrival, and made sure all our needs were met. They also had a lunch special, and we ordered the chirashi bowel and the sashimi bimbibap (forgot the actual name) and both came with fried shrimp and miso soup. Everything was really fresh! I thought the chirashi bowl rice was a tad sweet, but that's a personal preference. Fish was plentiful and provided a decent variety. The sashimi bimbibap was very good and was the favorite between the two. While it was on the pricier side, it's hard to find a good sashimi bimbibap, so I thought it was well worth it. I'll definitely be back when I'm back in town! read more

I have been coming here pretty often for dinner but am only now getting around to writing a review. I wanted to keep this amazing place a secret to myself but I had to let my fellow Yelpers know about this place. Since new ownership took over in January 2025, Kabukicho has been lighting it up. The fish is fresh and the staff are on point. They even started lunch service. The lunch menu is plentiful and reasonably priced. The raw fish bibimbap is the best in Ktown and only $15 that I ended up getting two Definitely hit them up if you are in the mood for something else other than Korean barbeque. read more

I go here often, (in person) but last night my dad brought the food togo for the first time and it did not disappoint again! the fish was so fresh, i usually don't get rolls but i couldn't get my hands off them. the plating was pretty too!!! usually when i order from restaurants, the presentation and effort lacks because they just food in styrofoam containers but this place went above and beyond. read more

A really pretty, well done. 횟집. The presentation is great, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed all the appetizers before the sashimi.

First let me explain, This place is Korean style raw fish restaurant Little different from Japanese style I believe this place is renovated from previous Shogun(?) I was here before but I actually like how they renovated Super clean, they have some private rooms, no doors but cute blinds with those puffer fish The food comes out non stop... So much food Its definitely worth the price This place is hidden in corner which kind of makes that vibe of hidden gem Servers are super kind. They constantly check up on you to see if you need anything Fish is super fresh, but for those who can't eat raw fish, they also have cooked style so not a huge problem. After all the train of food. You finish up with this spicy fish soup, ON POINT for finish Wakes you up from those alcohol you've been drinking with food. If you are a fish person, I definitely recommend. Thumbs up! read more

Good food and a very competitive price. Lots to choose from. Nice ambiance too. Would definitely recommend you give it a try.

The best sashimi place in K town! Sashimi was so fresh, not fishy at all. Portions were big. All the sides were very yummy. They give seafood spicy soup after the entire meal with some fries which is the final finale. Affordable, clean, top service. They have private seatings as well. Very affordable compared to the quality of sashimi and all the sides that they offer with the combo. My boyfriend and i ordered small sashimi but we were soo full after. Plus it is only $150!! 100% recommend this place if you want some good sashimi with affordable price. Definitely coming back when we crave sashimi!! read more
