Food is ok but service is not good. We bought a sea bream from the live fish market on the 1st floor after some finger pointing and calculator pressing and was asked by the ahjumma to go to a restaurant on the 5th floor after she handed us the whole fish in a pail.

So you buy your fish on the 1st floor and then they ask you to go the restaurant where you will be paying for the table set up.
