I went in to buy a gift card for someone who mentioned loving this place. They don't offer gift cards.

One of my favorite places to go to in Cincinnati! I visited this place during October of last year. The food and service was lovely and the atmosphere was great! Despite being pescatarian, there were so many options. Definitely worth trying out if you're in Cincinnati!

I am completely appalled. The food has never been great, but today was a new low. The salmon skin in my roll was cooked until it was burnt. The tempura shrimp was not only NOT tempura -its panko- it was also overcooked and flavorless.And then the Udon was inedible. The broth alone tasted like straight hot water. Zero flavor. My server (who was great) offered to get me something else, but I couldn't imagine after having two dishes that awful that a third choice would be anything but. I offered to pay for what I ate, but was told "all sales are final" and had to pay over $18 for disgusting food and left hungry. Finished my meal at Thai Express, where they actually care about food and their customers.Never have I had such a cynical experience in a restaurant. I can't believe this place is somehow thriving. If you're a fan of sushi or Korean, don't bother. Hell if you're a fan of food, don't bother.

Gosh. This was amazing. Half price sushi every day. It’s almost like should just permanently change the prices. I think that would make sense. The food was amazing. Our server was very nice. She had a little triangle tatto on her arm with a somewhat questionable spray tan. Yurrr

Been going here for years... it's more of a closet instead of a restaurant... the door is sort of hidden and the corners are well worn with memories and history... but that is part of the charm. Quintessential urban college spot. The Dragon Roll and Sunday Morning are my favs. The hot stone bowl (dolsot bibimbap) is a classic. Either order, plus a hot tea and a generous tip, gets me out the door for $25 or less. You won't regret giving it a shot.

Food was good, our server was very nice, but the wait-list was awful, once we got in our food took forever (especially the sushi), and it was just as cold inside as it was outside.

Straight up INCREDIBLE food. I've brought 5 or 6 of my friends here and they all absolutely love it. Definitely recommend the tempura roll, it's perfect.

Have been here several times over the years. Tonight I was absolutely disgusted by the amount of flies all over the restaurant. Nonstop swatting flies away from my food all night. Totally ruined my appetite when one landed on my chopsticks. This place is a filthy mess. They have a bug light on the ceiling to set the mood! If it's this bad in the front, can't imagine what the back is like

Quick, easy, and affordable Korean fare, but you get what you pay for. Will fill you up, but may still leave something to be desired. Service was great.
