The food is great here, reasonably priced and the service has been awesome.My only complaint, and it's a big one, is that the employees were watching videos and sports on their phones at high volume. It was super inconsiderate, obnoxious and rude. It made it really challenging to relax while I ate, to the point of speeding up my lunch so I could leave.The irony is even the customers were more considerate than the help. For instance, one of the patrons walked outside to take a call as opposed to talking on his phone at the table. Absolute respect to this guy for being mindful and respectful of others.I've never left less than a 5 star Google review, but I felt others really need to know that if you're looking for a restaurant to relax and eat, this spot is probably not for you. Very hesitant to return.

My husband and i came here for lunch today to celebrate my Birthday. This was our 4th time dining here as it has become a favorite of ours but don't get a chance to eat out often. I left a raving review for them about 8 mo ago and i am sad to say that we will probably never return after today's experience. When we arrived we noticed a sign on the door stating that they were under new ownership and would be changing their name in the next 2 wks. When we were seated our waiter also advised us that due to these new changes that they didn't currently have a liquor license and that some new changes were also coming to their menu. We were brought waters but were never asked if we wanted to order any other drinks. We order our normal favorites and as the food was coming out we noticed right away that the presentation/quality of the food was very different. My husband has a onion allergy and his bento box was served loaded with fresh onions so we asked to have them remake that part, which they did. I am a creature of habit and always order the same thing. The soup that i have ordered every time we have been was served and within a few bites my mouth was on fire. The soup has always had a lot of flavor and a lil spice but never like this. After about 5 minutes it was too much for me to continue to eat so i stopped our waiter to ask if something had changed about the soup. I had been picking out jalapeños, which i never remembered being served with the soup before, and his reply was " Yes, i noticed that the cooks in the back had recently been adding those to soups and thought it was weird but hey, that's what happens when you put some latinos in the back to cook!" I couldn't believe what i had just heard come out this waiters mouth and i waited for him to ask me if i would like them to remake it since that was not what i had ordered and i was obviously uncomfortable eating the soup. Nope, all we got was that reply and he walked away. I then try our sushi rolls as we ordered the 3 for $15 and they were SO messy, not rolled tightly at all and were definitely not spicy like i had requested. I am afraid now that this restaurant is under new ownership that the quality of the food and the service is not what we fell in love with when we first came to try it. We are extremely disappointed as i was very much looking forward to coming to enjoy my bday lunch here and walked away spending with tip over $100 and overall just disgusted with our experience and the food presentation/quality. I no longer recommend this restaurant and i feel bad for all the friends and clients who i have told to come try this place. We are hopeful that that original owner who also has a location down in Loveland is still there and hasn't sold that one as well. We will make the drive down to Loveland before we ever come back here.

Best sushi I’ve ever had. Incredibly tender and full of flavor. My wife got a bento box and it was the best she’s ever had as well. The sushi chef is the owner and you can tell he puts his heart into every roll he makes. Service was awesome as well. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Wow!! Great food with huge portions! Korean/Asian choices. I had bibimbap in clay pot—rice was crunchy & sauce was excellent. I will definitely be back!!
Great little hole in the wall. The waiter was kind to my kid and seriously brought no green onions.

Fantastic food and great service. We arrived about 30 mins before close and got our food about 5 mins before close, so we knew we were kind of being an inconvenience. Not once were we asked to hurry, side eyed, or given any negative service indicating that we were a nuisance to their closing time. Our server gave great recommendations, and we thoroughly enjoyed our food!
Fabulous. Yellowtail roll and bulgogi were both 5 star. Nice servers, good lighting.

We lived in Korea and fell in love with the food. Izakaya has brought it to Fort Collins. It's way cheeper than a ticket to Seoul! Have not tasted Jiajangmyon (warm noodles with delightfully fermented black bean sauce) since living there. The Soondubu chigge (soft tofu stew) was so full of flavor. Genuine goodness in a homey atmosphere.Parking: Lot is in back off the alley.
