“ Korean style sushi place in LA. There are 2 locations but this place had more authentic selections. ”
“ Amazing. Jonathan Gold is still right. This place is on one of his best in Koreatown restaurants. I had the Hwe dup bap. On menu it is listed as mixed raw fish over greens with rice. Fantastic. So fresh and vibrant. The fish was large chopped, with tuna, salmon, halibut and rowe on seasoned mixed greens with nori, microgreens, bonito, diakon. It was served with miso, rice, and banchan - kimchi, pickled daikon, seasoned seaweed. It was a huge portion of food. I took half home . Total was 21 for lunch. Highly recommend! ”

We, party of 3, picked a medium combo (sashimi and sushi) and our mouths never stopped eating! My pictures only show the main dishes, there are a lot more side dishes! Everything tastes so fresh and it's so fun to try a lot of different variety of food! ***Come with an empty stomach and you will have a great time! *** Can't wait to go back for other sashimi items, sooooo goood! ”
