"Sometimes you want sushi because you’re looking for a light meal. But other times, you’re looking to take down a lot of rice and raw fish. And for those times, Noshi is here to provide some of the cheapest high-quality sushi in the city. Everything here is good - we suggest coming in a group and ordering a feast’s worth. Just note: it’s cash only." - katherine lewin
"With its windowless all-red exterior, Noshi Sushi doesn’t have the greatest curb appeal, nor is the fish quite the same quality it used to be a decade ago, but this busy Koreatown spot is still an institution when it comes to wallet-friendly sushi. Stick to the straight-up nigiri, sashimi, and classic rolls, and you'll leave stuffed while paying about a third of what you would elsewhere. Some examples: the spicy tuna roll (one of the best things here) for $5, or the eight-piece nigiri combo for $18." - garrett snyder, cathy park, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"If your taste in sushi involves lots of sauces and crunchy bits, keep on moving. But for those that appreciate straight-up nigiri, sashimi, and classic rolls, Noshi is one of the best options on the Eastside for an outrageously affordable, well-executed feast. We always order three times the amount of food we actually need, and it ends up costing only a third of what you’d pay elsewhere. An example: the spicy tuna roll (one of the best things here) is $5. Just know that this place is no longer a secret—expect to wait." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"Hidden in the back corner of a strip mall, this sushi bar looks straight out of an ‘80s low-budget action flick. Boongho has private rooms if you want to go for an expensive multi-course sashimi dinner, but the move is to grab a seat at the bar and order one thing – hwe dup bap, an enormous sashimi & salad bowl. Dress it with a squirt or two from the squeeze bottle of chogochujang, a vinegary version of the red pepper sauce you’re used to pouring over bibimbap." - eric lane
