My friends and family adore this woman-owned sushi restaurant on the west edge of Koreatown. Sharon, the owner, is so sweet and usually says hello to every table, which we think adds a nice little touch to each visit. We love that it's a convenient meeting point for people from the Westside and Eastside. We've been regulars for years (eat in and delivery), and none of us have ever had a bad meal here. We love coming for the happy hour menu! It's such a great deal and you get a ton of food! The service is always friendly, but can be pretty hit or miss. The ambience is casual, so come as you are. If you're bringing little ones, know that the wait staff is great with them (they also serve Ramune soda, which is something that the kids we know love). We love their happy hour specials and think the value and quality are good for the price point. Here's what we got at our most recent visit:Food: During this visit, we ordered mostly from the happy hour menu. There are various combinations that you can get. We decided to go with 2 orders of Combo A. We supplemented with some other dishes, too. - Uni Shooter - (Not part of the happy hour deal). This is my favorite dish on the entire menu! This uni shooter has uni, sake, ponzu, green onions, soy sauce, and a gobo garnish (one of my favorite pickled veggies). It's got great flavor, is slightly sweet, full of umami, tangy from the gobo, fresh, and just totally delightful.-Crispy Blue Crab - We love this appetizer! It's blue crab on top of a perfectly cooked crispy rice rectangle, topped with a slice of avocado, jalapeño, and a drizzle of unagi sauce. It's indulgent and rich and is something we frequently order as part of the happy hour menu. - Rainbow roll (spicy tuna on the inside - it's our friend's favorite and she dined with us that day). Both the normal version (on the menu) and the modified one my friend orders (with spicy tuna on the inside) are yummy. The sliced fish on top is always fresh and never fishy. The spicy tuna filling has a nice kick, and the California roll filling is always a little sweet and tasty. - Hot Night Roll - We love the kick, crunch, and sweetness we get from every single bite of this roll. This is a roll we always order. It's a tempura shrimp roll with spicy tuna, cucumber, and eel sauce. It feels a little lighter than something like a dragon roll, so if we're debating between those two, we prefer the Hot Night.- Dragon Roll - A shrimp tempura cut roll with eel, avocado, and eel sauce on top. This is always crowd pleaser no matter where you go. The eel is always broiled to perfection and is always a good choice.
- Malibu Roll - This is a spicy tuna/crab filled roll, topped with sautéed garlic white tiger shrimp. The pieces are massive and full of flavor.
- Eel Avocado Roll - standard, tasty roll.
Overall, we'll definitely be back for one of our favorite Happy Hour deals in town!
