The Bottom Line 3.75 stars: Recommended for Japanese food with Korean flare while shopping at the H…read moreMart Shopping Plaza in central K-Town. Location 3.5 stars: Inside the H Mart Shopping Center, on the West side of Western Blvd, between Wilshire and 6th Street in K-Town. Paid parking structure. You can get at least a portion of the parking fees validated electronically by shopping at H Mart or one the restaurants or stores or the movie theater at the plaza. Possibilities for street parking are very limited if any. Venue 4 stars: Nicely decorated modern venue, with inside and outdoor tables and a sushi bar. Service 4 stars: Staff were polite, courteous and attentive. Food 3.5 stars: Large selection of traditional Japanese food including sushi, sashimi, rolls appetizers, ramen, hot stone and hot pot, along with some Korean staples. We had sushi, sashimi and rolls which were good but a little lacking in flavor. Drinks 4 stars: Beer (bottle and tap), wine, sake, soft drinks, coffee and tea.

I visited King Yubu twice recently. The location on 8th and Catalina had delicious, fresh food, and…read morethe service was quick and prompt. What made it even better were the employees working there--they were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and provided great service, which made for a fantastic experience. The King Yubu inside Madang Plaza on 6th Street is decent, but the manager (or possibly the owner) was very unfriendly. They were acting really mean toward the staff, which left a bad taste in my mouth. While the food is good at both places, the 8th & Catalina location is definitely better overall.

I absolutely loved the corn dogs, I think it's some of the best ones I've had. It was crispy and cheesy. I also like the loaded fries and the toppokki. I feel like they don't skimp on the toppings. Can't say much about service but they were really quick and efficient. The place is outdoors with plenty of seats. Definitely a great place to try out if you're craving for some fusion food.

It was busy inside but still got seated without waiting. Insane quality of fish not one single item I ordered had an off taste. The fast that my spicy mayo and ponzu was full when I left goes to show how insanely well they prepared the food sauce wise. Overall great place I will be back to try more things for sure. All this food double the salmon roe and scallop sushi because it was that good I had to go for round 2 but all this for 80$ was insaneeeee!!!!! And of course leave tip lol. For sure coming back!

The uni potato puree wasn't super good, kinda tasted like baby food. Would definitely skip on the skewers too. I would just stick to the sushi items.

I ordered the uni amaebi bowl which was absolutely tiny for the price point. It also came with this seaweed on the side which my friend and I thought it tasted like grass and not in a good way. My friend got the toro uni bowl which she enjoyed but she wished it was slices of toro rather than negitori. Then we got a selection of nigiris from scallops to monkfish to salmon and mackerel. These were fine. The quality was good. To finish we both got handrolls. I got the toro handroll and my friend got the blue crab handroll. They were a decent size. Overall there are so many sushi places nearby that with the price point and quantity, it might be worth going somewhere else instead.

Mafia Sushi has become one of my go-to lunch spots whenever I'm working near Crypto Arena in…read moreDowntown LA. It's one of the healthier options in the area, the staff is always incredibly polite, and the food is consistently fresh. I usually order a spicy tuna roll along with a few other rolls, but I've also had the fried rice and crispy rice, and they've all been excellent. I did have one small incident where I bit into a tuna scale that had made its way into my spicy tuna roll. It definitely caught me off guard, but honestly, it wasn't a dealbreaker. If anything, it reminded me that they're working with fresh fish. I let the staff know just so they were aware, and without me asking, they removed the roll from my bill. That level of customer service was genuinely appreciated. The restaurant is always clean, welcoming, and a place I look forward to visiting on my lunch breaks. As I'm writing this, I'm actually getting hungry thinking about my next visit. Thank you to the entire team for the great food and even better hospitality. I'll definitely be back.

We ordered the yellowtail special, salmon roe, and salmon nigiris which were all good. We also ordered the salmon skin handroll and party roll, again both good. We then added a Gentlemen roll and the Baby Yellowtail Sashimi Special which were also solid. The non-sushi item that was end up ordering was the veggie tempura. I liked the tempura because the vegetables were cut into large pieces, yet were fried perfectly tender. The batter was also crispy and not heavy. Overall, a solid sushi restaurant.

Whenever I'm craving Japanese eats I can go here and get everything from bento box to tempura udon to fresh sashimi/chirashi. I forgot to take pics of the food, only got the street view outside.l because it was so late and I was so hungry, but I got the mini zuke tuna do and some calamari and my friend got the chicken/egg bowl gyudon. I thought everything was solid for the price, because japanese food is always a little pricey. The service was quick and courteous even if there was only one guy working. We were lucky enough to find street parking since it was late at night, though the area can be a bit sketchy. They have outdoor seating on a little patio it looks like is open during the day. There's cute little booths near the window to cozy up and grab a beer and a bite in.
