The dinner special at $23.99 is quite affordable, offering good value for a delightful dining experience. The fresh seafood main dish with a diverse array of side dishes made the dining arrangement truly delicious. We ordered Spicy Fish Roe Soup and Assorted Sashimi Rice Bowl. The soup had a perfect balance of spice and umami, complemented by the burst of fish roe. Sashimi in the Assorted Sashimi Rice Bowl was exceptionally fresh. The dinner special exceed our expectations as it was incredibly fulfilling, both in terms of flavor and portion size. The servers were nice, and the place was great for families. I would come back for Lunch Special. read more

Venice Beach - Dinner Speical - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

Tried Venice Beach for the first time today (Thursday at noon). It was a full house. They had lunch specials for only $20. We got the fish roe mixed rice with uni and mix sashimi bowl. The lunch special pricing is good, especially for this day and age. I appreciated the fact that they gave side dishes and a side of miso soup along with our meal. We asked for refills on some of the side dishes and the server gave us a new set of side dishes, like all of them. I will definitely be back here again. read more

Server Kim today Thursday is good Chef Sin will impress u not only by his last name spelling However, the poke pieces disappointed me. Lots of sesame on top of every side dish and main dish which was not good to me. I may not go back. read more

Came here with my girl friends for lunch since we were craving something raw. We ordered off their lunch specials. We had the sea urchin rice bowl, bulgolgi and octopus rice plate, sashimi bowl, and the soy marinated crab. Out of everything we ordered, we enjoyed the sea urchin rice bowl the most, and the soy marinated crab. The sashimi bowl was not what we expected, It was small pieces of fish on a bed of cabbage and salad. The bulgogi plate was okay, as well. It came with cabbage salad and rice. The service was decent. There's only indoor seating available - booth seating and bar seating. Pretty spacious, can accommodate parties of 2-10. There's free parking in the structure by The Source. read more

We enjoyed a delicious and filling meal of Korean seafood at Venice Beach. The service was very fast and attentive. Each dish was a delight in terms of the quality and quantity. The five person set was more than enough for six adult males. Having eaten at a more well known Korean seafood place across the street many times, I found Venice Beach to be a better option for food. The decor could use some slight improvement in terms of the lighting and spacing to make it feel more cozy and warm. read more

This is one of my favorite seafood restaurant in OC. The food was very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend their sashimi combo. Sally (server) is the best. She is very kind and attentive. Thank you Sally and chefs. read more

I was intrigued by their colorful add that showed all sorts of seafood dishes. And I can't pass up their catchy motto "I'll give you everything'" so I had to check it out. Ordered the raw crab dinner special and a couple of rolls (crunchy and golden California roll). The crab was nicely seasoned but I think I still prefer cooked over raw. The rolls were ok; rice was on the dry side. Maybe I'll return for their happy hour and check out the rest of their dishes read more

Great place to eat fresh seafood located conveniently at The Source Plaza in Buena Park. It just opened recently and already packed with people. I think they are a little short staffed but they compensate it with hard workers always walking fast paced trying to get everyone satisfied. You know the seafood is fresh when they got a tank of fresh shrimp right next to the entrance and the sushi chef cutting a fresh giant fish apart at the sushi bar. The place is clean and modern looking. I appreciate that a lot of the tables are spaced out and not too cramped. Check them out if you are around the neighborhood! read more

I saw a sign for $19.99 lunch specials promotion going on and decided to check it out. There were plenty of options to choose from and I went with the sashimi salad, hwedupbap회덮밥. Ad said 8-9 side dishes but I got 10. Kimchi was my least favorite side dish here (tasted too light) and all the namul, greens, were my favorites. Service was quick and simple. My hoedupbap was true to your basic. no nonsense hoedupbap. However, the sauce was what stole my heart--not too spicy, just enough sweet. I will have to come back to try others on the menu. They offered a donut as dessert. I was full but there's always room for dessert! read more

This restaurant is located in the source on the 2nd floor! The restaurant was not too hard to find as it is by the escalator. The restaurant itself was simply decorated. I went here for brunch on Saturday and it was not that crowded which scared me a little because at this time the source was already packed. We got seated immediately in a cute little booth. They had hot tea ready at every table. Service was fast and food also came out at lightning speed! Food 4/5 The food was not out of this world good, but it was still pretty good especially at what we're paying for. The quality exceeds the price. It might be steep for some people, but for what you're getting it's definitely appropriate. Lunch Special Soy sauce marinated crab | 4/5 | $24 This meal included 8 Korean side dishes (fish cake, cucumber, kimchi, potato, cilantro, etc;), rice, soup, and the main dish; raw crab. So far, this is the best raw crab I had down here since I usually have to make the drive to LA to enjoy good raw crab, but this temporarily saved my recent craving for it. In all honestly, on my first bite I was taken a back because it did not taste good at all, but when I moved to the other part of the crab it tasted great. Creamy sweet meat, however my only down point is that there wasn't enough meat, but if I'm looking at the price, then you get what you paid for. Medium Size Uni | 3.8/5 | $24 Not as fresh looking as the other uni I have tasted but it still tasted pretty good. It was also small in comparison to most places I've tried, but the uni pieces were slightly fatter. I thought the uni tasted alright, slightly off somewhere in there, but it was still buttery and slightly sweet. I recommend asking for seaweed paper to pair with this and the rice. Corn Cheese | 4/5 | $5 Cheap! Lots of cheese and the corn was sweet. The prepare it fresh on a skillet. Service: 5/5 We did have a slight language barrier, but the servers were still helpful. They checked in once in awhile which is perfect because I don't like being eagled down while I'm eating. Again, the service was really fast! They also gave us mochinut on the house :) read more

Very fresh food. People are very friendly here. The place was welcoming. The food was exceptional and a bit pricey, but well worth it!!!

Located on the second floor of The Source, we wanted to try their special lunch options which are all $19.99. We got the uni and roe rice bowl which we enjoyed. They fish roe soup was nice and spicy. They sashimi salad could use a stronger flavor sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal. read more

Seafood lovers! Come and try this place, it's the kind of place where your table is going to run out of space really fast!

Try it with an icy Korean beer, your stomach will thank you! read more

I walked into Venice Beach with my son, and a co-worker before a movie and asked if we could order a few drinks and some appetizers. We hadn't even been seated yet when a waitress asked the chef if that was OK, he shook his head no, without explanation, that they would not serve us. As someone who's been a sushi chef and worked in hospitality for over 20 years, I was shocked by how dismissive and unwelcoming the staff were. We were respectful and clear about what we were asking for, yet were turned away with no reason given. Whether it was poor service, bad policy, or something worse, it left a lasting negative impression. read more

Food quality is pretty good but the service was the best . we had a bad exprience at the first visit but it changed to a greatest experience there yesterday. there was a young lady server who did really great service so impressed we were kinda loud after we get drunk but so thanksful for providing us great service we had so many dishes with our combo and it was great we could not finish everything will be back soon read more

Tldr: I wish i read the reviews first. It's just okay... Portion is really small, fish are fresh, slow service, they try to wow you with the amount of tiny side dishes. Dinner is not worth it, no more than 3 people (not enough food) Look at the cute fish! Visited for dinner after looking at the posters posted around the parking lot. They did not have the specific fish we (party of 5) wanted from the sashimi menu (they were missing half of their offerings of fish). The service was slow that we weren't eating at a certain point, we were just waiting for the next course. I think the staff was overwhelmed, they forgot some requests and brought the same thing twice to our table. Some in our party were still hungry afterwards but didn't order more due to the slow service so we had dessert. I don't recommend party sizes bigger than 3, its just not enough enough food :( I was really hoping to like this place. read more

Venice Beach - One of the side dishes. I thought the size of the fish vs lemon slice was funny.. but shows the tiny portion sizes. - Seafood Near Me - Buena Park, California

Their soup is soo good . We went at the hour where there weren't a lot of customers so that might make some difference but the food came out quick read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. GO ONLY IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TIME AND WANT TO TEST YOUR PATIENCE. Service: Servers are friendly, but they are not trained whatsoever. I asked for a manager and was told that there is no such system. Food: Mostly on the bland side. There is absolutely no flavor in steamed eggs. Crab soup is good. You can get better quality sushi at Miyako or Kuni. Visited on Sunday around 4:30. It was still early for dinner, so we were the only customer when we arrived. We ordered a large assorted sashimi, but there was a list on the menu saying that there would be plenty of sides. However servers don't know what sides came out so you have to pay attention to what you received and ask for the ones that didn't come out. THEY WILL GIVE IT TO YOU ONLY IF YOU ASK. The server said all the food came out and gave us a check but we didn't get all the food what were listed. I mentioned it to the server and she said they would check and give it to us. Sea urchin rice bowl is one of the sides, but they said they it's not available today so they gave us small COLD croaker. It felt like it just came from the refrigerator because the skin was soggy and inside was cold. I think this is a ridiculous substitution. The table next to ordered regular sea urchin rice bowl as an entrée and they got theirs. It was 6:30 by the time we got out and we didn't even drink. We finished what was served and waited 45 minutes to get the next set of food. I would probably go somewhere else next time. read more

Food - The korean Uni roe rice bowl and baked salmon roll was good but never order the squid and pork bulgogi rice bowl. It was very blend and the pork smelled as well. We told them about how this had no flavor and they took it back into the kitchen and brought me a new one but it tasted exactly the same as the first one. I highly recommend to never order this.

The straight hair guy was kind and a good worker but the guy with the curly hair seemed like he didn't want to work and the way he talked to us was just bleh read more

My friend and I got seated down today, a waitress wiped down our table, and walked back to her station on her phone. For 10 quiet and awkward minutes, not once did the waitress come to our table to offer us menus and drinks, (There were only two occupied tables at the time). We left after not receiving service. My friend and I both felt discriminated because we weren't Korean. We both went somewhere else where we were welcomed. read more

I have mix feelings about this place. During lunch time it's just ok but during dinner time you feel like you're getting scammed. So our party size was 5 and couple other 2s sat next to us. We all order the same thing which was raw sashimi. So I noticed all the sides you get before and after the main the portion size is same. Other then you get couple more shrimp tempuras but other then that it's the same. And sashimi portion size is a joke. The sashimi is paper thin. And for large for $250 you only get 30 or some pieces.... It's Saturday night and it's half full and everyone is running around like the restaurant is on fire lol. Anyways there are WAYYYYYYY BETTER sashimi places very close by and I will definitely will not be coming back. This place is here to take yo money people! don't come here!!! read more

We had to try this new Korean-style sashimi place that opened in Source Mall. If you've ever been to Korea and had sashimi in a beach town, this place aims to recreate that experience. The table is filled with various seafood dishes, making it colorful and sumptuous. This is not a Japanese sushi restaurant, so don't expect sushi on top of your rice or fancy rolls. Instead, you'll find layers of side dishes that look like main dishes in smaller portions. It was a fun experience that reminded me of Korea, though it just needed an ocean view. Definitely come and experience it--you'll feel like you've been one in to Korea drama. Most importantly, the food was great, and the staff consistently checked on our needs and refilled anything possible. They accommodate the number of people in your group by making substitutions and additions so everyone can try at least one of each dish. It's a great place for groups, allowing you to order different sets to compare and try. Come and experience what they offer to try something new in town. You can also enjoy soju with some raw, moving sea creatures for a unique experience without feeling out of place in this restaurant. read more

We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. First the good part: The raw marinated crab we ordered was delicious. Not quite as good as the places in Koreatown LA (in terms of freshness and overall taste), but for the OC, it's pretty good. There were also a big variety of side dishes and they were all pretty good. Now the bad parts: The "assorted sashimi" bowl was made up of tiny chunks of miscellaneous sashimi pieces. It was obvious that these were the leftovers/mistakes from carving out the more expensive sashimi plates. The little pieces were piled onto a huge bowl of shredded cabbage with a small splash of sesame oil. There were no pictures on the menu so I had no idea that this was their take on a "sashimi" bowl. I figured I'd cut my losses and at least enjoy the side dishes, but I had to ask for refills 3 separate times, only to be forgotten/ignored. On the 4th ask, the server finally took my empty plates away, which I mistakenly thought was a good sign that I will finally get some refills. Sadly, 15 minutes go by and still no side dishes :( At this point, we were fed up and decided to leave. The moment we asked for the check, the server suddenly became super alert and gave us the check immediately. I would understand if the restaurant was super busy, but there were clearly many open tables and the servers were just wondering around aimlessly the whole time. I'm not sure if this was just an "off night" for the restaurant, but we are definitely not coming back. read more

Such a great deal! They have high quality seafood for a reasonable price Their sashimi is so fresh! I definitely recommend their crab soup too! Sooooo goooodddd The owner has direct contact in korea and the live fish is imported (via flight) and he said he can get fresh fish within 24 hours He has over 20 years of experience running a sushi restaurant, and you can definitely see and taste the quality of food and services. The restaurant is located on the second floor of The Source (in Buena Park). It's right next to the parking structure and the escalators. The staff are very friendly. The service is quick. The price is decent for how much food you get. The place is clean and has a family friendly ambience. Definitely worth the visit if you are craving Korean style seafood! read more

This place has the worst service for the most overcharged food prices. We were not given refills for any drinks for the 40 min we were there. They took away my menu when I told them I was still using it. Our waitress Celine only came to take our order and give us our check. I would not recommend this place. My friends and I are embarrassed to have come here cause of how awkward, neglected, and unimportant we felt. Not to mention!! They are supposed to close at 12:30am on a Friday night and they started to kick us out by 9pm and turned away two additional guests who just walked in at 9:20pm. We would want a refund from this place or something compensated for this nightmare read more

Absolutely no eggs in any of the crabs. None. Not a lick of it. We got three crabs, and none of them had any eggs despite the pictures.

I went here twice in one week while I had a friend visit from NY. It was a new sashimi spot so I wanted to give it try, plus the Source Mall is a good place to meet up with a large group of friends. Since we had 5 people, we were told that the large combos were only for 4 so they agreed to give us the XL for an extra $50. I thought the sashimi was good, but the portions were small. It wasn't much larger than the L size we ordered a few days later (in both cases I had to eat more somewhere afterwards). I wanted to try the live uni in the combo but they told us that they get their delivery that week because of bad weather. Got the same response a few days later as well. So they offered raw crab in place of uni. The raw crab was small with only 3 small pieces. The waitress said that whether we ordered the XL or the small combo, we would get the same small crab dish, which doesn't make any sense. We spent over $400 that evening and they wouldn't give us enough crab for all of us. On top of that, we didn't even get any free service. Usually, when I go to a Korean sushi/sashimi place and we order over $400, we usually get a free bottle of soju/beer and/or extra sashimi/side dishes, but not at this place. I asked for the owner or manager, and the waitress said that there isn't any around. The waitress were nice and apologetic but they had no idea what they doing. I would have figured that a new sashimi restaurant would offer more to promote themselves, and then later on when they become popular, then cut down on portions/quality or raiser prices. Not in this case...i only expect things to get worse. However, my friend wanted to give this place another try a few days later...but still the same. I will never go here again. I don't expect this place to last too long. read more
