Excellent Korean food. We throughly enjoyed our lunch variety a few weeks ago. We will be back soon.

I called in and orderd the yukgaejang (spicy beef noodle soup) and for some reason they automatically added and upcharged the knife cut noodles instead of glass noodles which I'm okay with, accidents happen. What I don't appreciate is adding knife cut noodles into the to go container with the soup so I get thick noodles soaked in broth and the leftover broth becomes basically gelatin from the starch.

Pretty good food, a little pricy, standard fare. Exceptionally good service though.

My first time here. I ordered the seafood pancake which I had high hopes for. The food was the most tasteless meal I've ever had. Zero flavor. My friend ordered the vegetable tempura. This dish was also flavorless. I took most of my pancake home and I'll try to doctor up. A waste of good money.

The food and service was amazing here. Came on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't packed, and parking was easy. We ordered the mild chicken wings, beef kimbap, and spicy pork bibimbap with the melon soju... EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING and enough to split with my friend. Food did take a little bit to come out, but I will never complain about how long it takes because it was fresh and made with love. I will be back soon, definitely try this place out.

Super tasty and flavorful! I got the spicy ramen with beef, it's placed in a clay pot to keep it hot while eating. I really appreciated the service, very attentive and friendly :) I will definitely be back!

This place has a wide variety of Asian food from Korean, Japanese, and Hawaiian. Service was good and food came relatively fast. Started with the complimentary banchan dishes with kimchee, pickled cucumber, seaweed, seasoned broccoli. Also ordered the corn cheese, Jhap Chae fried rice, & bento box. Both meals were good proportions and had to take food home for later (even better late nite!). Would come back again.

Ughhhhhh I wanted to love this place, but I think you kinda know when a business tries to do too many things, they end up not doing a great job at either. I didn't end up trying any sushi, but the Korean food was not there. The Hamachi kama came out literally burnt and broken apart, which felt like the final nail in the coffin. You could not eat the skin at all. The fish itself was still moist, but I think the heat was too high or someone forgot about it. The seafood pancake had very little seafood in it, but it was crispy. Sauce that came with it was a little weird. The Korean Gnocchi soup would have been my favorite dish because we were able to fix the broth with some salt. The gnocchi was a good texture, and the shape reminded me of squid. But unfortunately we opted to add chicken which cost an extra 3 dollars and honestly, it kind of ruined the dish with no way to salvage it. It was giving dry/shredded rotisserie chicken. Egg souffle was tasteless. The side dishes were pretty bad, either underseasoned and also overly sour kimchi, overly funky seaweed. The servers were pretty attentive and got us the things we needed. I don't think I would come back.
What a great find! Excellent menu with lots of delicious options, especially for vegetarians. Tofu rocked! Endless side dishes!Service was friendly, quick and excellent! Only complaint was the volume of the TV monitor. There was nice singing, it was just too loud. Otherwise, a wonderful place! We will return!

When I first saw this spot I was a bit skeptical because they serve Japanese and Korean food, not a fusion, but both separately. As they say though never judge a book by its cover because this spot had some really delicious food! In terms of sushi we ordered the Sakura roll and dragon roll. Both were really good but the size of each piece was pretty different. For the Korean food we ordered the rose rice cakes, kimchi pancake, spicy pork belly, galbi, and beef bibimbap. They have a lot of side dishes as well and the meat also came with lettuce, the galbi was some of the best I've ever had it was so tender and flavorful! The kimchi pancake was also one of my favorite dishes of the night because it was so crispy and the kimchi tastes amazing. Service was attentive as well, we got sat in the back but the server kept coming back to check on us. It's a fairly large restaurant as well so it's great to come with a group. Overall this isn't going to be the best quality sushi or Korean food but it's a great spot if you're feeling indecisive between the two cuisines. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

This was a super nice place to try out. They staff are super friendly and the restaurant is a Two in one. You have both korean and Japanese. They have a set menu for $62.99 which includes choice of meat Bulging, galbee, chicken, spicy pork Choice of tofu stew mushroom, chicken, beef or pork Goya and lion king roll. They say it will feed 3-4 people. But I think it truel feeds 2 or 3 people. The restaurant is really nice. Fuether back They have the sushi bar. And they also have a nice Instagram worthy wall. It has the word kawaii with angel wings in top. The staff are really nice They kept giving me the look to see if I am ok or if we needed anything. Everything was delicious and worth trying. Parking is a bit tough.

I've come here a couple of times. They're menu is pretty robust with not just Korean but also sushi options to choose from. There's a nice outdoor seating area that is maintained to not accumulate the dust/dirt on the tables. The food is well prepared, spicy (a must), and the service is quick and friendly.
