The sushi was high quality and delicious. I would definitely go back but perhaps for takeout. The atmosphere is rather cold. The staff was nice.

Hands down the best sushi in Philadelphia. The omakase is a magical experience, and Joe is one of a kind!

I recently had the misfortune of trying what can only be described as a sushi nightmare at a local restaurant. The culinary experience was nothing short of a catastrophe.Firstly, the rice was oddly sticky and tasteless, resembling a glob of glue rather than the delicate and flavorful base that sushi rice should be. It was like trying to chew through a ball of flavorless gum with each bite.Moving on to the fish, the sashimi was a textural disaster. I couldn't help but feel like I was consuming a rubbery ocean eraser rather than fresh, melt-in-your-mouth delicacies. The fishy aftertaste lingered unpleasantly, making me question the freshness of the ingredients.It was as if the chef raided the refrigerator in a state of desperation. The flavor clash was overwhelming and left me questioning the sanity of the person behind this creation.To add insult to injury, the wasabi was so potent that it felt like a fiery assault on my taste buds. I appreciate a bit of heat, but this was a nuclear explosion of spice that completely overwhelmed any hope of enjoying the sushi.In conclusion, this sushi experience was nothing short of a culinary disaster. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy, and I certainly won't be returning to that establishment anytime soon. Save your taste buds and seek out a more reputable sushi joint for a truly enjoyable dining experience.

Location a bit sketchy and there is not many seats inside but the sushi is good quality for its price point.The salmon roll is $10 at time of writing, slightly more expensive than nearby alternatives but seems to be expertly prepared.The braised pork belly buns are delicious and come with thick slabs of pork meat.The fried rice rolls appetizers are also quick good and does their job to stimulate the appetite.The cha shu ramen itself is slightly spicy and includes a sliced slab of corn which is an interesting choice, at first glance, it seems a bit like instant ramen but upon tasing the noodles are certainly higher quality than that of instant ramen. The eggs are hard boiled and reminiscent of soy sauced braised salty tea eggs, the broth is flavorful but nothing too special and the same can be said for the cha shu pork pieces. Overall 4/5. The ramen passable but the sushi is the main highlight of this place.
Had the Veggie Ramen and Shrimp Tempura roll, broth was a little on the salty side but very flavorful and comforting. Lived their corn. They gave us hot green tea at the end of the meal, it was a great way to end the evening.Left overs were even better the next day as even more flavor soaked in, oh so good

If you are debating on stopping by -- hesitate no longer. We live in NJ and travel across the bridge just to eat their authentic and reasonably priced Korean Cuisine. Staff is very accommodating and genuinely friendly. Both their dine-in sushi side as well as their take out side offers amazingly delicious food. Do yourself a favor and stop in!
Recommended dishes: Spicy Tuna, Sashimi Special, Cha Shu Ramen
Came in off a recommendation from a good friend and was not dissatisfied. The ramen and sushi were amazing. Will definitely be heading back. The service was also great.

Their omakase is the best in town but you have to call ahead of time. This is a family own business and everything is homemade. Their ramen broth is made fresh everyday. The grandma makes the best dumplings. I don't normally write review even for 3 Michelin stars restaurants. Fish comes fresh from Japan 2 times a week. Look at the pics that I am taking and you can tell how fresh. The uni is from Hokkaido and very fresh and creamy. The monk fish liver is fresh.

I visited last night, and I must say, the staff was delightful, and the sushi was truly amazing! The yellowtail starter, in particular, was phenomenal.
