“You came back hungry and got the perfect welcome — a spread that looks both filling and delicious. 🍣🥗

On the long plate, you’ve got a mix of sushi varieties:
• A beef-topped gunkan (ground or marinated beef wrapped with seaweed).
• A spicy minced topping, likely spicy tuna or spicy salmon.
• Grilled eel (unagi) with that glossy sweet soy glaze.
• Shrimp nigiri with a touch of sauce.
• At the bottom, wrapped in plastic, looks like a musubi — rice with grilled meat or spam, perfect for later.

On the side, a fresh salad with crisp lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and dressing — and best part, it’s unlimited. 🥗✨

By the last picture, you’ve also got a dipping sauce ready and a sushi roll off to the side, so you’re set for a feast.

If you walked into this starving, that first bite must have hit the spot.“

“GOD TIER. Everyone keeps getting the ramen, BUT THE MAZESOBA IS WHERE IT’S AT!!! RAMEN FOOLS!! GET THE MAZESOBA!!

Super decadent, generous with the sauce (you can request a small scoop of rice for free afterwards to finish off the sauce), great noodle texture, amazing taste!! The first bite was heaven.

Looks small at first but that’s just because the bowl is big/I was struggling to finish halfway through.

AJ, our server, is super friendly, chill, and attentive! He brings amazing vibes.

10/10 will come again“

“Decent selection of toppings and proteins. It was easy and simple with ordering on the touch screen. I wanted to pay cash, however they are cashless at their location which was disappointing but not the end of the world. Flavor or decent, and portions were fair as well.“

“I gave them 5 stars because this is one of the best places to have korean jampong (the spicy kind). The food is great, I took 1 star off because honestly they have a huge menu and over 70% of the stuff are not available and never will be (why bother keeping it ?!?).

The service is great as long as you don't complain or ask for detailed ordering such as I can't eat this leave it out of the dish or such as can you NOT wash the noodles with cold tap water. Use filtered water instead.

The eatery is a small counter inside a supermarket. So atmosphere is like whatever. Expect lots of aunties and uncles and others around you watching you eat while talking in loud korean.“

“The sushi here is good! Only problem is this place takes forever to bring out your food and it comes out one at a time. Mind you its pretty much empty the times i do go. Maybe hire more staff for faster service. Other than that very nice people and great food :)“
