It had been over two decades since my last visit to this Japanese restaurant, and I was thrilled to return. From the outside, the restaurant appeared modest, nestled within a small retail space with humble decor and entrance. Our dinner gathering, especially planned for our siblings, felt incredibly special. We opted for the large Sashimi combo, which boasted a variety of seafood, including sea squirt, sea cucumber, shrimp tempura, and octopus salad. The freshness of the fish was remarkable, and we appreciated the generous cuts. The Sashimi assortment included yellowtail, salmon, tuna, and Avalon, among others. We were particularly impressed by the attentive service of the three different waitstaff members. They promptly replaced the hot miso soup, served grilled mackerel pike, rolls, and accommodated our request for fresh wasabi. To complement our meal, we enjoyed Sake, Junmai Ginjo. Wrapping up our dining experience, we indulged in 누룽지 and 매운탕, with ice cream served as a delightful dessert.

Read moreMy partner and I stumbled upon this restaurant after years of passing it and boy do we wish we’d gone in sooner! This was hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. Walking in we were greeted by who we now know is the son of the owners, Sam who was kind and accommodating, allowing us to sit in one of the fun booths! We each ordered the entree plate combo and boy was it a lot of food! We planned to get an additional sushi roll but luckily Sam warned us against it for portion sizes and he was so right! Every bite was more delicious than the last! The sushi was fresh and buttery, the beef was cooked to perfection, we discovered our new obsession of rice with FOUR kinds of fish eggs, spicy fish soup and tempura that was fried to perfection. We both instantly knew this was going to be a top five local spot that we rotate to when we want to eat out. To know it’s family run for over 30 years means so much to us when we decide where we put our money and we will happily spend time and money here over and over again! We can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! Thank you for wonderful...
Read moreRecently went there to get lunch done with long time friend of mine who we don't get to meet up very often. We were greet by Sunny and was given nice hot green tea. From there on, it was good service as you would expect from one of top restaurant in Koreatown.
It might be 2 or 3 dollars bit more than other places but I think it's worth it. you can tell food is handled they way it should be. Very clean and simple. don't know how else to explain it when you get your food.
