Amazing, amazing, amazing!!
Honestly, one of my top spots now. I usually go to AYCE sushi because I eat so much and I think I'm addicted to sushi but decided to try this place out as I saw some cute photos on Instagram and I am so glad I did. I almost don't want to write this review and keep it a secret a little longer but that wouldn't be fair for a place this great.
It's located in a plaza in Koreatown and valet is $4. It's a fairly small restaurant but half the tables are those cute tables where you take your shoes off and sit on the floor----definitely adds to the experience! The restaurant opened back in January so it is a very new restaurant which is probably the reason for the prices being so affordable. The fish was extremely fresh, servers were friendly, and there is a lot of variety in the menu so something for everyone but most importantly, so many things to try!
I noticed we didn't receive the complimentary edamame during dinner time like the other tables but, honestly, I feel like they just forgot and not a big issue. They also have sake and beer (we didn't try any but we definitely will next time). I would either make a reservation or get there early (like we did) because there may be a wait if you come after 7pm. That was around the time we left and most of the tables were occupied by then.
We ordered half a dozen oysters, a bunch of nigiri (salmon, yellowtail, golden eye snapper, bluefin tuna belly), Cinco De Aburi (a selection of aburi sushi), salmon skin handroll, agedashi tofu, Lion King Roll (salmon, shrimp tempura, spicy crab, shredded crab stick, cucumber, avocado), and a Bengal Roll (salmon, eel, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado). We behaved ourselves and didn't order more as much as we wanted to because we were on a diet (LOL) but there were a number of appetizers, pasta, udon, sushi rolls, and Signature Izakaya dishes that we were eyeing and will definitely be trying them soon. Everything on super melt-in-your-mouth fresh and extremely affordable. We seriously can't wait to go back!!
