Good food. Great ambiance. The Korean BBQ chicken is a must, it has the most flavor!

This is the place you go when you want that melt in your mouth sushi, the way it is supposed to be. Their sashimi is high quality. The sliced rib eye is perfect! I no longer live near this place but always visit when I’m in the area.

The atmosphere is quiet compared to more contemporary Korean BBQ restaurants. This place also has a full sushi menu. The Chicken Bulgogi was really good, and they served up kimchi, bean sprouts, miso soup, another good pickled dish, and ginger salad. You can take leftovers with you, unlike the All-you-can-eat restaurants. The service was great, as well. Overall, it was nice to experience a more relaxing ambience. Will definitely go back!

Owner Don was behind the sushi bar, providing delicious rolls and hand rolls. The atmosphere and service were great. I met some nice locals and had wonderful conversations. I think I've found my sushi location next to home. Thank you, and see you soon. Come by for a treat!

Really felt like trying something new and this place did not disappoint. We had kids and if you’re a parent you know they can get loud sometimes but it was nice seeing so many other families on a Friday night. The restaurant is suitable for dates and large groups as well.
The best hands down sushi in Birmingham. The yummy yummy roll is ridiculous good. The short ribs are my favorite entree and are always fabulous. Overall, I’ve been eating here for 15+ years and it’s been great every time.

This is an upscale restaurant with alright service but it's just not authentic. The Korean sides are more for an American pallette. The bulgogi was alright but not the best. The sushi is alright.

I hate that this place actually gets bad reviews. Myself and one of the doctors I worked with were some of the first people to make Ginza our weekly go to 20 + years ago.. There were no other sushi restaurants on this side of Birmingham, if any, in the city.. they've never delineated from their quality or service. I used to laugh when a guy would come in (a little tipsy from the golf course) and ask for his chop sticks, which were kept in the back in a case.

The owner is the sushi chef, which tells you all you need to know. Hands down the very best sushi in Birmingham with a huge selection of fresh fish I’ve never seen anywhere else.
