I Love Sushi — Restaurant in Pyeongtaek-si

From Pyeongtaek With Love: A Sushi Affair Worth Repeating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½ — Sandy Nguyen

Now on my fifth visit—yes, fifth—I can confidently say this local hidden gem in Pyeongtaek serves more than sushi; it delivers art on a plate. Chef Sung Karn crafts every dish with precision and heart, and it shows. His mastery is evident from the first slice of sashimi to the final stroke of wasabi. His attention to detail is nearly meditative, and his creations continue to surprise, even after multiple visits. The lunch special offers premium quality at a great value—perfect for sushi & sashimi lovers looking for freshness without the fuss. For those who crave balance between indulgence and value, this midday offering lands a solid bullseye.

A true sleeper hit on the menu is the baked salmon sushi roll—a textural marvel that dances between salty, savory, sweet, and creamy in a single bite. Each flavor complements the next, delivering a crescendo that feels anything but accidental. If you are adventurous, try the Khan’s Special plate.

The tuna sashimi is a must-select favorite, and honestly refreshing on a hot summer’s day. A local crowd favorite that’s earned its praise. It is, without exaggeration, the freshest cut of tuna I’ve tasted in Pyeongtaek—silky, clean, and ocean-kissed. The baked mussels come bubbling with creamy, cheesy richness.

Ambience matters—and this place delivers it in spades. The vibe? A modern izakaya meets late-’90s lounge with charcoal gray and deep red hues. Bonus: the restaurant overlooks a charming greenbelt and park—unexpectedly peaceful. This allows diners to steal glimpses of the park and skyline—a pleasant visual palate cleanser between courses.

The service is top-tier. Joy, the hostess, is always warm and thoughtful, and the staff even adjusts the A/C based on the weather to make the space comfortable, every visit! One time I dropped soy sauce on my white T-shirt, and her staff took it right out on the spot. That level of care says everything.

This place is great for a cozy, eloquent, casual lunch date, dinner with friends, or even a quiet solo meal. It’s not just a meal—it’s a moment worth revisiting. Definitely a top spot in Pyeongtaek for sushi that hits every mark. It’s comfort food with a touch of elegance.

Final Verdict:

Pyeongtaek’s sushi scene may be modest, but this local treasure proves that greatness doesn’t need grandeur. With its commitment to freshness, flavor, and friendly service, this restaurant earns a confident 4.5 out of 5 stars—and a place on my...

The sushi here was great. We got a large order to go for the family and they prepared it quickly. Compared to Sam's Sushi, the food was just slightly below Sam's in regards to quality. But "I Love Sushi" was much cheaper. Overall, I would say they are equal overall. Also, we went on a Friday evening and they were not busy at all. Where as Sam's Sushi would most likely be packed and difficult to find a seat if you...
